Losing consciousness from her still apparent injuries, Emma is left at the mercy of Mashymre and Glemy.

>Glemy:...I am sorry, Miss Emma. Master Mashymre, my Gaza was taken into their hangar. If we hurry, we may be able to-

Kneeling next to the soldier he had taken the life of, Mashymre shuts the deceased mans eyes.

>Mashymre: I was forced to act as a coward. For that, do forgive me in the afterlife...Glemy!
>Glemy: Y-yes?
>Mashymre: Show your respects. Even if they are our enemies...they are just misguided. These people aren't the murderous marauders we were told they were. Some of them are, like their Captain...but I want to take this ship and its crew as bloodlessly as possible. I don't know how, but...I can feel help is coming. Show me to where-

>Glemy: Ugk...she is a little heavier than I expected. Master Mashymre, are you ok with those injuries?
>Mashymre: Be silent for a moment! (Is this a side effect of returning to Earth? Why does my mind feel as if its perceiving so much more...Kamille and Fa! I can't just leave them in this place. If I took them both back to Axis though, they could be truly safe...)

Kamille pulls Fa into the elevator as it closes. Pulling Fa into a hug, a whimper escapes Kamille's throat.

>Fa:...I can't keep doing this, Kamille. I just want things to go back to how they were-

As the elevator door opens again, Kamille's face lights up as he sees Mashymre with Emma over his shoulder.

>Mashymre:...Fate works in mysterious ways, my friend. Glemy, both of them are already-

Sensing Fa's intentions, Mashymre reaches out to hold her wrist to stop her from activating an alarm.
