Lacrim didn't react visibly to the information about the time managers of her race. It was how much she knew that made all of this logical. He had to assume she had this information due to what she said otherwise he'd have to admit that somehow the Tuffle security had been fully breached and all of their deepest secrets were revealed.
"I feel like you have a suggestion?"

Her voice hadn’t changed this whole time but she did calm down seeing that the commander was taking her rather seriously. He was giving her the benefit of the doubt. She could really be some loon off the streets or a spy with lots of information but he was heavily considering her story and probably taking plenty of notes to add it to a file for her and her race. Some growing establishment of trust was beginning to form on her end of this conversation.
With a raised finger she would take a bit of a risk here and now. “I know that you are very close to cracking the mystery of traveling through time and your competitors on Plant are not going to come close in this life time. You’re a brilliant leader to have gotten this far and you seem to care very much about your people. This planet is just starting. Tuffles here are beginning anew. And I am newly appointed Guardian… I do have a few suggestions but I need something from you…”
While she was talking she’d ask the earrings if she could be notified of a short list in what they were discovering as far as transportation more than vehicles but more instantaneous methods, what they might have planned for the moon(s) on this planet, and what the over all consensus if the Tuffle race wanted more to take back their old home or defending this one they have here.
She stared at him a moment to sink in what she was about to say. “You see whenever I was told I’d be Guardian of Planet Plant I made some plans. One of these was choosing one or maybe a few champions to usher in the pride and heart of the world. Since truly I’m supposed to be uninvolved these champions would lead a better planet Plant while it’s still budding in my stead.”
Both hands came up and laced themselves over her chest. “I’d choose these champions based on if their heart was for the better of Plant. You seem well respected and I can grant you a blessing in your times of need and if you have good intentions. If this interests you the only thing I ask in return is your help in keeping all time travel discoveries amongst your people to just theory and not practice. From this you may call me in an instant you need my blessing and I can give a sizable bit of support to aid you in the Defense of Plant.”
Cards were out on the table now.

They have very little in the instantaneous travel department besides some short range non-organic transportation for objects. Kind of like a mail system. The two moons both have plans. One is being manufactured into a military base, using suits modified as environment suits so they don't have to terra form the moon, the other is being turned into a luxury resort to attract visitors and to help fund the Tuffles endeavors on a galactic scale.
Lacrim would watch carefully. Shaking his head a little after some deliberation.
"I would need proof of such a boon. As well, I do believe our people have sentimental attachment to our original home, but it is more so the Saiyan threat is something that must be dealt with to save the galaxy. Even if that means agreeing with the planet brokers of Arkosia. The Ice-jin are simpler to deal with than those savage monkeys."
There is finally a small form of emotion in the way Lacrim said monkey. A splatter of vitriol from his speech pattern slipping in.

She was growing happier visibly that he was so open to the possibility she was suggesting. “I’d be happy to give you a demonstration of my ability. It would be the more effective the stronger a person is also it determines your intentions. The purest intentions get a bigger increase. I understand there is a measure which is calculated in such a simple scale our blessing raised this potential. Much the same as I know some suits enhance your physical abilities.” She pointed a flat palm to Agari, absolutely not forgetting her presence. “If you’d like the suit and it’s spot on accurate scales should measure nicely as a test with records and data to view your self.”
This was a suggestion she would look between the two and see if they’d approve. But to give them a moment to think it over she continued with the other matter. “As for what Threatens you it disheartens me to imagine those who call this planet home going to war but if you feel this is your only course then my involvement can not go beyond the protection of this planet as a whole. And I personally do not believe it is of anyones benefit to seek harm.”
She sighed her expression became a bit pouty. “However Tuffles, like most, have their pride and it is not my place to interfere in those matters. Do what you must as far as that goes. I see that the enhancement of what you’ve given plant has seen to give it more life and it’s a wonderful thing. I do hope it grows exponentially throughout many generations. Even so no matter your choice, as long as Plant exists life will go on and remember your influence.”

Lacrim thought for a few moments.
"I wonder if the blessing would work for Tuffles. We do not have a source of Ki to pull from like other races."
He looked to Agari who would remove her helmet and place it on the table.
"I will be the subject of the demonstration at least."

“Great!” She clapped her hands and smiled with glee. She turned to Agari and her arm came straight forward with an up turned palm. “Here we go Ma’am so I want you to be completely honest with yourself and consider what you’d give your life to protect. The more your intent is pure the greater the outcome.”
She gave her a few moments as the power built in her hand which began to glow a light in her palm it grew and grew and condensed and became brighter before Nen curled her fingers brought in her close to her chest to fling it with grace and style right into the center of the Soldier.
She would let her power spread into the woman and grin in approval at her work. “How do you feel?”
Something about Lacrim said made her stiffen a bit at the realization of what he meant. She might have misunderstood something about the suits. She knew they didn’t have Qi but she was feeling like maybe they had a way it was being enhanced through technology by drawing in the Ki around them? Well we could just see what happens

It seemed that Nen's blessing took on a new form with the Tuffles. Being creatures specifically created by the Supreme Kai as beings with no Ki, instead it granted that which the Tuffle has never had, power.
Triggering something in their very existence that could not have been foreseen by even the most knowledgeable, a surprise even if the Omni King were to have witnessed it. A rush of power shot through Agari from the bottom of her feet to the ends of each strand of hair a pulse of light could be seen rippling through the suit and her as one, an actual aura of energy erupting from her as natural as breathing. For just right now Agari was filled with enough Ki to match most elite Saiyans (Commonly perceived as Elite at 5,000 PL). But her suit which was made to enhance the natural capabilities of the wearer was now exponentially more powerful. Steam exhausts were in overdrive keeping up with power they weren't built for.
Agari checked herself over once, twice, three times before looking at Lacrim and Nen.
"This is... Unbelievable."
Lacrim's shades exploded after a moment, a puff of smoke as they fell to pieces, they weren't able to get the final read on her output.
"What... What did you do?" He would ask Nen.

She let out and excitable and loud squeak as she jumped for joy. “I have no idea! But that was the hopeful outcome!”
She came right up to Agari and grabbed her hands her glee held a great amount of joy sparking her gaze. “You are a very special person Agari whatever you hold close to your heart must fill it to the point of bursting! Your bravery today should never be forgotten! Did your suit record the data to show us?”
She turned to Lacrim letting go of one of Atari’s hands and she was practically floating. “That was what a Kai like me uses to materialize the pure of hearts intentions into a more physical form. I can only give this power as a Blessing, I can not use it myself. It seems thinking of it as a Ki transfer is not but a simple explanation. But it certainly converts a pure heart into power which even a Tuffle can use!”
She looks at them both even as Agari’s boost aught to be fading after this moment she no doubt knows this was going far better than she anticipated. She let go of Agari’s other hand and started fanning away the smoke that had polluted the air from the suit and other machinery.

Lacrim looked down at the shattered remains of his shades before looking over at Agari's helmet. Agari was still in shock when Nen came over and grabbed her hands explaining what happened. She would nod and pick up her helmet when Nen let go and the power faded. She put the helmet on and projected her heads up display on the monitor against the far wall.
"Original output of my suit was 1,778. When the... Blessing was bestowed the suit read a power level of 324, which was then enhanced by the suit to an output of 2,102. I was too caught off guard to process and do any testing for maximum output, these are all resting readings. But my estimation is a range of 2,270 and 2,627"
The numbers change and fluctuate showing the ki readings and the suit trying to regulate the energy giving off waves of what appeared to be exhaust also measured as a battle aura.

She went to the commander and straightened her shoulders calming her excitement. Her eyes we’re still bright and her smile was wide.
“If this satisfies your curiosity then let us continue to consider the stopping of Time creation for you and if you can help me put a stop to the rest of the Efforts on the matter.” She reached into her robes and pulled out her Handy Dandy Notebook to flip to a green tab sticking out on top. “I could suggest that instead more towards something like…controlling the moons projectiles so they never fall naturally to cause the Saiyans transformations. I believe these would be beneficial and practical defenses of plant.”
She flipped a page. “I also believe maybe find a method of instant teleportation. Since you’re already considering the energy to spend on time travel I don’t think it would be terribly difficult to maybe shrink the distance between point A to point B near instantly. If you are Familiar with Vo Lang you’d know he is very talented in this field…” she paused and looked up for dramatic effect. “Even for us a Divine race he has surpassed a great number of us in this aspect.
“But even Vo Lang gets tired like all Ki users…” she raised a finger. “I can see the benefit of having technology which does something kin to that and you’d hardly have to spend or spare the extra Ki which can mean life or death. Mobility is a great tactical advantage.”

Lacrim went over the data and the suggestions. Preventing Saiyans from using the two moons of the new planet Plant to transform into Oozaru would be a good idea, but the instant teleportation of troops on the field of battle would be an even larger boon. They had some files on the enigma that was Vo Lang the guardian of earth, but not much besides he seemed to just be places with no record of travel. Teleportation greater than so called Gods would explain a lot.
"This is a lot to consider, in a short time. Give me three days to go over the ideas and see how much viability we can get out of it. I will halt development on the Time Travel device in the meantime."

She nodded satisfied with this. “It’s not the most hopeful response but it is a positive response that I’ll take. Three days to consider with a pause on the time project is a fair deal and will benefit from a good amount of considerate thought.”
Her gaze became serious as her shoulders went back and her eyes narrowed. She imagined trying to mimick the Grand Kai in his stern aura. “I will be close by and I will be aware of your progress in these coming days. When you’ve reached your decision you need but only call me and I’ll be on my way.”

"Very well."
Lacrim would have Nen escorted by Agari back to her vehicle as a polite send off before deliberations would begin in earnest. Truthfully Lacrim had given the order to not only halt his own time travel research, but he was able to halt all time travel research on the planet and called in favors to have these experts instead switch their goals to other projects that would keep them busy for a few days.
What's Nen doing in the mean time?

She stayed in her snail for a good portion of the time it was becoming more homey by the day. As things were being slotted in place and settled she directed herself more towards planning her Guardianship. She had adjusted some plans and made new ones. She found a couple of critters in a burrow she was looking over and taking a moment to observe. She would assume there was a bit of preparation they were doing.
She ventured into a town for a bit on the second day to window shop around for some tech she might use. She saw the eclectic mix of Tuffles and suits as well as sporadic other races. She hadn’t really gotten to the point she spent anything yet but she made a list of sorts. She would check her Potara when she was out and about frequently. Frankly she hoped Lacrim would call at any point sooner having made a decision early. She wasn’t impatient but the possibility did not escape her thoughts.
By the third day she didn’t leave The GMS. Instead she thought to practice some mental exercises. She was in the process of practicing her own instant teleportation abilities from different points within her domain. It should be easier to sync these skills here in her own space. She sensed everything in here but she would need them outside eventually without a doubt.
She kept a close eye on Lacrim and even checked in on Agari occasionally. With that one having the only test subject she has of what the ability she gave did to a non-Ki producer. It is possible that she might have opened up outcomes which need to be brought to light if there were going to be any. For all Nen could have known Agari could have exploded or mutated. Both rather terrifying unknown outcomes, definitely not the most Optimal results she hoped for.
She was relieved to see the influence Lacrim made and the weight on her shoulders lifted seeing the immediate attention of Time Travel was being stopped across the planet. She was not off the hook yet but she felt the danger has mostly been taken care of.

At noon on the third day Lacrim stood outside of his outpost with Agari staring into the distance. He was very much contemplating something or rather, maybe he was just hyper focused. In the silence of that afternoon bird like creatures flew over head casting shadows over the red grass surrounding his fort.
"Guardian Nen."
He spoke to the void, expectantly. It may not have been a test, but it was a show of trust on his part to follow the given instructions.
