"I do not assume that." Samus said, having finished her food. "Perhaps Sophia did do something wrong. I do not know, so I intend to ask her. Turning on her with little information about the situation could lead to something we all regret." She put her bowl away as she talked, taking her jacket and Zero Suit as she left the room... And heard something outside, running out of the ship.

You wonder if you should take off and blast the giant with your ship weapons. You can't quite explain it, but you get a gut instinct that he is bad news. You then see Samus behind him. You raise your left hand in a silent greeting, but keep your right on your blaster. Her clothing surprise you, though the scars less so. You think of all the close calls you've been through and figure that Samus must be a bit less lucky than you.

Once the squad is sure nobody except the camera guy in the room, they lower their guns. While the other three look through the room, the squad leader walks up to the camera man.
"Are you alright, sir?" - He asks with a South African accent.

The XCOM soldiers would also find the news caster from the program behind the broken news podium. He was knocked out cold and had a black eye, but other than some good bumps and bruises from the whole thing he'd be fine.

[color=Camera guy]"Ya, I guess I am."[/color] The guy answered back to him. [color=Camera guy]"O-Once they realized that Sophia chick wasn't here they went off that way."[/color] The guy shakily pointed a finger to another exit to the room, a little less grand that the one the XCOM unit had come in. [color=Camera guy]"I-I don't think I've ever been that scared in my whole life!"[/color] He added, although he still seemed to have his wits, maybe he might have more to say.

Samus was surprised to see Shara standing there, ship and everything. "Shara!"Her voice had a hint of excitement in it, which spoke volumes for Samus. She walked over. "Good to see you."

Joel went to the room Sophia was resting in, and knocked on the door with his metal hand. [color=003399]"Sophia, are you awake?"[/color] he asked through the door.

Joel would find that Sophia wasn't answering the door, so either she wasn't awake or she just wasn't bothering to reply. If he tried to listen in, he'd find that there wasn't much sound coming from her room at all, making the prior theory more likely of the two.

"As I said, I would not take any form of action until I have all the facts." Caius stated in turn, keeping the fact that he would turn Sophia over in a heartbeat if she proves guilty to himself. Once Samus left the kitchen, Caius picked up his sword, putting it on his back again, and walked towards the exit, too. "Come, Yeul." He said to his charge as he walked. Yeul nodded, and followed.

Together, the duo began walking towards Sophia's room.
"Perhaps you should let me speak. Sophia is on friendly terms with me, she may be more open as a result." Yeul suggested to Caius as the two walked.

Caius shook his head. "Until we know more of the situation, I would not have you come close to her." He stated, then paused, blowing a small sigh and looking down to Yeul. "But... I will try to approach with more understanding, as you wish. Even if I make no promises this would lasts."

Yeul gave Caius a small smile, but said nothing.
Ariving at Sophia's room, the duo saw Joel knocking on Sophia's door, and approached him. Both didn't imediately say anything.

Walking through the ship, "Silence" stopped momentarily as Samus passed them as hurriedly as she did, making them wonder what the hurry was. They didn't follow her out again, however. Instead, they headed towards the kitchen, expecting there would be where most of the group would be gathered. Seeing Joel, Caius and Yeul being gathered outside Sophia's room, however, "Silence" slowed down, wondering what was going on, there.

You reply with a smile that it's been a while, and you're happy to see she's still in one piece. Although, you add with a glance to one of her numerous scars, it seems just barely.

Previously
The squad leader motions to two of the soldiers and they move over to the door the camera man indicated, taking cover on either side. The third soldier, apparently trained as a medic, looks over the news caster to make sure he is alright. The squad leader then turns back to the camera man. "Sir, could you please tell me what happened, beginning at the start?"

[color=003399]"Do either of you two want to try getting her out?"[/color] Joel asked Yeul and Caius, stepping back from the door.

Samus glanced at her forearm for a second, then looked back at Shara. "Relax. These are all old wounds." She walked over. "Are you well?"

Code:
"Oh, and he's arrogant too. Fantastic."
Vicky said, acting as though she were holding a conversation with herself. She didn't show much reaction to what Samus and Shara were doing.

You nod, and say that you've been keeping yourself busy. In fact, you were sent here by your latest client. You quietly that you've been hired by a Earth-based military organization, but that you don't want to say any more in case of prying ears. Moving on, you ask what Samus and the rest have been up too with a normal voice.

The sisters turned off the TV and headed outside to see Shara land her ship.

They hailed Shara with a "Long time no see!" from all three of them.

[color=Camera guy]"I-I can try."[/color] The guy nodded. [color=Camera guy]"Well, we were about fifteen minutes into filming today's The Factor, when suddenly boom!"[/color] He said as he gestured a small explosion. [color=Camera guy]"There was this loud bang, everything got dusty and there was like... like stuff flying everywhere."[/color]

[color=Camera guy]"So then these bucket wearing knight guys in suits of armour appear. A-and they were talking about this monster thing, and stuff. I kept holding the camera steady hoping that they wouldn't notice me and just leave!"[/color] He continued. [color=Camera guy]"But they noticed me! And that old guy-"[/color] The dude shivered as he thought back. [color=Camera guy]"It felt like he was looking into your soul man! It was all real spooky! I don't know how that chick killed all those knights, but they sure thought she did."[/color] The man shivered again. [color=Camera guy]"She really took a dump in their cheerios if you know what I mean."[/color] He answered back, trying to smile, but it just make out as a nerves quiver.

"If she did not open the door for you, I do not think she would for me. But I can try." Caius responded.

Moving infront of Sophia's door, Caius raised his right hand, but didn't imediately knock on the door. He initially wanted to knock on the door loudly, but figured this rather went against not being confrontational. Instead knocked on the door with reasonable force. "Sophia? I wish to ask you some questions." he called out with a slightly raised voice.

Yeul stood by, silently wondering if Sophia was awake. As Joel had knocked on the door with his metal hand, it seemed unlikely to her that Sophia slept through it, but she wasn't sure. Seeing "Silence" approach, Yeul momentarily glanced towards them, but then looked back to the door.

"Silence" moved passed those gathered outside Sophia's door, and went around the corner. They didn't move much further then that, instead stopping and pressing a button on the outside of their right arm, turning invissible. Then, "Silence" softly walked back towards where Joel, Caius and Yeul stood. They paid attention to the surrounding noise, listenin to footsteps, knowing that there was at least one person who could see through their invissibility. They didn't want to get caught evesdropping.

Samus didn't react to the military thing, realising Shara wanted that kept under wraps. "After we finished Desperado, we've been relaxing. Though we have got some new arrivals."

"With good reason." Proditus smirked at Vicky. "I, like every brother of the Legiones Astartes, was genetically and surgically modified to develop strength and constitution almost infinitely greater than any human. My kind can endure for centuries. I can slay dozens of men in unarmed combat, go for weeks without food or rest, break through ferrocrete with a bare fist and chew through low grade steel bars. My intellect when turned to war can outmatch any living human, and any one of my kind is as an army of lesser men. We are rightly feared as superhuman killers, and respected as the new stage of human evolution." His voice took on a contemptuous edge.
"It could be considered high praise from a race which views your kind as a stunted evolutionary dead end."

You wave to the Mason sisters, though you only recognize two of them, then ask Samus who the big guy is. You are still keeping one hand on your blaster, as you still feel on guard. The rant he went on does not help, and actually makes dropping a few missiles on his head a tempting prospect.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Emergency services should be here shortly." The squad leader and the medic headed over to the door. The four then opened and moved through, closing it behind them.

About halfway through Proditus' speech, Vicky began using her left hand to mimic an opening and closing mouth while mouthing 'Blah blah blah' and crossing her eyes mockingly.
Code:
"Yeah, I'm sure humans would love to become a bunch of gigantic, single-minded killing machines. My kind on the other hand prefer more intellectual pursuits. But please, continue going on about how good you are at hitting things."
