"It is of no consequence, in that I know precisely how long Yeul myself will be staying with you and the rest. No longer then it takes for Yeul to get her things, and say her goodbyes." Caius said to Winona, then looked straight ahead again.
"I could tolerate the frequent infighting where next to no regard is had for the safety of those in the same room. I could tolerate that those that guilty themselves of this are allowed to remain with only a warning. I could tolerate the bringing onboard a device which has been confirmed to be a source of trouble, and actively put the life of a person at risk. I could tolerate that undesirables were alowed in what is essentially a home, without propper screening. ...I could tolerate when my concerns about this were brushed off. I tolerated being told off when I discussed my concerns at the current situation..." As he listed his list of grievances, Caius balled his hands into fists, his walk speeding up, taking more agressive strides, and his tone of voice dropping.
"I can not tolerate being branded criminals by ascociation. It has been shown time and again that this is not a safe environment for my charge to be in, and this marks the limit of my tolerance. To here and no further. So yes, we are leaving, and yes, it is necessary." Having said this, Caius took a deep breath, his walk slowing down again as he began to regain his composure.
Yeul said nothing further, walking along in silence.
From his position, Sam watched the group heading back to the ship until a few meters were between him and them, then he began following. [color=edc393]"Things aren't going so well, huh?"[/color] He said to himself as he walked, his words muted by the helmet.

After a few glances around the environment, Vicky managed to pick up the jet bike as it stuck out. Only being able to see part of it, she couldn't make a decent guess as to what it was from her current location.
Vicky called down to Gwen and Sophia.
She climbed down off of Dave's ship and began making her way towards where she recalled the bike was parked, generating a concealing membrane as she went.
Code:
"You two get back inside."
Code:
"I've gotta go check something out."
"Well... goodbye Caius and Yuel. You'll be missed." EMily said, stopping in her tracks. She couldn't really think of anything else to say to a person who wants to finish conversations off quickly. I hope he comes more trusting of people in the future. Well, I'm sticking with this group.
Winona stopped as well, but her sudden sadness was put behind her as an idea struck. She summoned her W± hammer. And she opened up the nearest location of a garden store on her holographic map, as well as a bank. She panted a little before catching up to them again.
<color=green>"Wait!" The tiny voice exclaimed. When she caught up to Yuel a sad smile appeared. <color=green>"I know we never got around to going to a garden as you wanted to. But just three blocks that way should be a garden store. And over there is the bank." She pointed over yonder to help them out. She also pulled out a couple hundred Pounds for them that she took from EMily's satchel. <color=green>"Here, take this as well. I don't know how long you'll be stuck on this planet, so I'm giving you some starting cash. Go to the bank and exchange it for US Dollars."

"Likewise. I did enjoy my time here." Yeul responded to EMily.
When Winona called out, Caius stopped and looked over his shoulder, while Yeul stopped and turned around, still standing relatively close to Winona, as she was lagging behind Caius when he began walking quicker.
"You are certain?" Yeul asked Winona, looking to Winona with her head tilted slightly. "This looks like a lot of money?"
Seeing the group heading towards the ship stopping, Sam stopped, also. [color=edc393]Saying your farewells here?[/color] He thought, looking towards the mountainside in the nearby distance. [color=edc393]Eh. I don't think I need to stick around for that. Let's see what the boss is up to.[/color] Approaching a building, weaving past oncoming pedestrians as he went, Sam jumped ontop of the roof to get ahead of the group without needing to pass them on the street, then began heading back towards the docking site of the ships.

After triggering the tracking beacon's self-destruct function, Elm tucked in its arms, and inserted itself into the front of the jet-bike. It didn't detonate the other tracking beacons, not sure if they had been discovered or not, and not wanting to destroy propperly unnecessarily.
Once inserted into the jet-bike, Elm activated the cloaking field. Although it remained in the same place, not knowing Victoria was approaching.

Winona gave a firm smile and nodded.
<color=green>"Yes I'm certain. I know you two are mostly nomads, so it'll be good for food for a few weeks if you don't live in a house. Search the newspapers that hire for jobs. Maybe the garden center is hiring."

"I will bear that in mind." Yeul responded, giving a small smile of her own. Taking the money with her right hand, Yeul put it in the left breast pocket of her bodywarmer, then gave a nod in return, bowing it in way of a greeting. "Thank you again." With that said, Yeul approached Caius, who continued on towards the ships.
After getting the bag of clothing and the umbrellas, Caius let Yeul say her goodbyes. When this was done, Caius and Yeul made their way back to town, going their seperate ways.
OoC: If anyone wants to have a goodbye talk with Yeul, it can be done in a previous thing. This way, this won't hold things up.

The sisters caught up with Gwen and Sophia, who were about to go inside.
<color=purple>"Well, what did you find out?"
"It's a long story."
<color=purple>"Then let's go inside to talk. Vicky wants us inside the ship as well." She looked towards Sophia. <color=purple>"C'mon."

Samus, still scanning the device, noted the currents running through it and dropped it before it imploded, stepping back a bit just in case the radius was larger than expected. Luckily she was unhurt. She walked off, intending to show the others, when she saw Shara exiting her ship.
Now that it was blinded by its own invissibility, Elm activated the jet-bike's sonar to make up for the loss. On this, it noticed Victoria approaching. It would wait until Victoria had approached a few more meters, where after it figured it would be safer to move, as Victoria was unlikely to move anywhere but to its position.
Starting up the jet-bike's engine responsible for making the bike float, the engine began to hum softly. With her above average hearing Victoria would still be likely to pick up on the noise, and able to track it through that.
Nearing the ship docking site over the mountains, Sam stood west of the docking site, stopping when he noticed Victoria approaching Elm. [color=edc393]You want to have a chase again, huh? We can do that.[/color] Moving down the hill he stood on, Sam - who was still cloaked himself - began approaching Elm, also, moving at a pace just above walking speed.

"Yes. A beacon of some kind. It destroyed itself when I removed it." Samus told her.
OoC: Site's freaking a little bit.

Getting nearer to Victoria, approaching from her left-hand side, Sam stopped, looking from her, to the ship docking site, judging the distance between her and it. Figuring he was at far enough a distance to open a raidio link to Elm, Sam looked back to Victoria, and did so. [color=edc393]"You're being followed, as I'm guessing you've noticed."[/color] He asked, his words rendered mute to the outside world.
"For now, watch the rear, and follow her at a distance." Elm instructed at it continued to flew away from Victoria, heading further south-wards into the mountains, picking up a little speed to keep the distance between itself and Victoria.
[color=edc393]"If that's your call, alright."[/color] Sam responded with a single shrug. Closing the channel, Sam began moving further down the hill at a leisurely pace. While he walked, Sam kept an eye out for movement at the ships.
Although muffled, Sam's movement wasn't completely silent, his steps making about the same level of noise as someone would make when walking around on the terrain in their socks.

"Good luck with that." Samus said, and though her voice was earnest it was clear she still didn't like the plan.
With Vicky picking up speed, Elm did so in turn. It kept moving for a time, then shut down the cloaking device, turning vissible again. This showed the jet-bike hovering backwards, with the nose pointing straight towards Victoria, and the two weapons primed. Although, Victoria wouldn't recognise the two inconspicuous black domes covering the series lenses as capable of firing lasers.
"You're exactly 674 meters away from reinforcements. I advice you to turn back." Elm warned, its voice a largely organic-sounding, light male voice. After issueing the warning, Elm began a video recording, to capture Victoria's response. While doing this, Elm opened a radio channel to Sam again, it not hearable to Victoria. "Combat restriction lifted. On my signal, engage. Strike to disable."
Sam largely kept up the same pace, only speeding up a small amount as Elm and Victoria did, therefore lagging behind a little. [color=edc393]"I got you."[/color] He acknowledged. [color=edc393]Finally.[/color]
