You spend the days after departing Pakistan doing high-speed cargo runs across the globe. It is a lonely work, but the solitude gives you plenty of time to think and meditate. While you do miss the company you had before, you also welcome the independence of this lifestyle. It is also enriching in other ways, as the price you can ask for your hauls is much higher than what you are used to, and the money is well needed for repairs and resupply of your beloved Sworder.
You wonder occasionally if you should report the murder that made you leave the group. However, for now you are content to forget about it and instead wonder about your next destination. With a contented sigh you take off and point to the stars, to visit the space station orbiting this blue pearl. Your cargo of food and supplies will give you a sizeable sum, but still a fraction of what a launch using local vessels would cost. The future is looking bright...

"Victoria."
Code:
"What's up?"
Caius only softly hummed in response to Roland, his questioning on the matter not satisfied, but feeling he wouldn't get any further, anyway. "One more thing." Began, indicating a change in subject. "How long ago did this happen?"
Yeul looked between the Mason sisters and Joel as they argued, and stood up once they finished. Walking to the kitchen counter, she began searching through the drawers, looking for something.

<color=green>"I'd just like to interrupt this fight for a moment to ask for a promise. And that is to never start infighting inside this ship out of aggression. I suppose I don't mind it if you guys brawl for fun here, but any acts of aggression from no where just because you guys hate each other don't sit well with me. My sisters you see beside me, often bickered and fought for no good reason when we were kids. And it doesn't do anyone any good but a broken mind and body. So I implore you, if there is any more fighting or shooting indoors, to take it outside. And I speak for everyone here."
Vicky frowned down at Doom Guy.
She replied to Winona before giving Doom Guy's arm one last forceful yank towards his back to dislocate the joint.
She added to Winona as she let go of Doom Guy and stood back up.

"One last thing."

"As much as I'd prefer that too, it's not gonna happen."<color=green>"So what? Just because you come from a depressing world filled with conflict, you can't resolve your problems elsewhere? Is violence seriously the only solution you guys can think of to end a conflict based on just hate?"
"About a week. Ten days maybe." Roland answered Caius.
"Yeah, less fighting sounds good. We are supposed to be on the same side after all." Alain said to Winona. "I still think that guy deserved it though." He said, pointing at Doomguy.

<color=green>"Don't you think you could learn another skill besides violence? It takes a strong mind to be a strong fighter. And being a brute will take you only so far. The enemies you guys have faced have been nothing in comparison to what we can face later."
<color=green>"As much as I'd like to believe that you could dodge bullets, you can't. There's not enough reaction time, even if you saw the muzzle flash from a sniper rifle. Maybe you are tough, but personally, your demonstration of your handling anger (or lack thereof) has been enough to give me a huge amount of ire. As much as I don't want to bring it up again, you endangered everyone's safety with a shot gun pointed at that guy in a closed environment. The shot-gun approach won't work every time."
"Right... I have no more questions." Caius stated in turn, giving a small nod in the middle of his sentance, and turning away once he finished speaking.
Finding what she was looking for, Yeul took a roll of kitchen towel out of the drawer. Taking off two lengths of it, she folded it up, and laid the kitchen towel onto the pool of blood Henry had left. Seeing this, Caius frowned.
"Leave that. We do not know what manner of pathogens it might carry." He called out.
"I know. but someone would need to clean this. Leaving it is unsanitary." Yeul said in turn, kneeling down infront of the pool and moving the paper towel through the pool. "I started now, there is no reason not to finish."
Caius blew a mute sigh, crossing his arms.

<color=green>"Is it really the only solution that works, Vicky?" Winona had had enough as she stepped even more forward. <color=green>"The society I live in got to where it is because it saw its potential above bloodshed. Over a thousand years we saw the truths through science, we worked hard through the dedication of medics, soldiers, and engineers to save our lives and protect the peace that I now live in. I have dedicated myself to studying particle physics. But I have seen what cannot be seen by your own eyes. I have braved through environments that most humans wouldn't dare push through. I have seen many a world that have been consumed by a fraction of a race's folly! That race was innocent, and one of their fanatical groups sent off a dark being to consume worlds. And it consumed trillions upon trillions of lives. I have seen the tough times by the survivors that had gone through its horrors. Yet that won't stop us from forgiving it, the race, and the group for nearly wiping out our Milky Way Galaxy, our home in the local group. And I will not let you, or anyone here, call me naive for such a stupid, lame, and paltry reason because I'm a tiny girl, with a tiny voice that came from a peaceful society."
"Can you please go and argue this somewhere else?!" Sophia shouted over everyone else. "I want to make sure he's alright, and my ears are still ringing from that gunshot, so everyone either shut the hell up, or go somewhere else!" She stated sternly, looking angry that everyone was being so immature.
