"No, but I can give you a copy of her file, if you'd like. It has the details of the crimes, and some information about her powers." the woman replied.
The woman handed over the file for Gwen to read. "If you need anything else, feel free to ask." she said.
A short time after, Sophia finally walked back out of the ship, the front tips of her hair slightly damp like she had washed her face. Although she was still looking a bit unsettled about the whole robot attack she was looking more composed. She was currently wearing her glasses, and looked over to where Matilda and Joel were, and then looked at the surrounding area as she looked to see where everyone else had gotten off to. "Hey, where did everyone else get off to?" She asked as she walked down the landing gangplank closer to where Joel and Matilda were.
Joel was still focusing on not being radioactive, and so didn't respond. Matilda, on the other hand, said, [color=006d5b]"I heard them talking about going after bounties, or something."[/color]
"Going after bounties, are we low on money? I thought we still had a bunch left?" Sophia said as she approached Matilda, sitting down with her if she was sitting.
Matilda shrugged. [color=006d5b]"I think Joanna really just needs some time away from the group after what happened."[/color] she replied.
"Right..." Sophia said, letting out a short exhale, and shook her head slightly, her hair brushing against her shoulders. "I, don't really think I fully understand what all that was about but." She said as she turned her head to look towards Matilda again. "Thanks for everything back there, you know with the disguising robots." Sophia genuinely admitted.
Gwen would learn that all the victims of murder and assault had been employed by the same company. The file stated that Chloe had threatened to kill all her victims, due to the company's involvement in deforestation. The arson charges predated the murders and assaults. Chloe had been found burning areas of forests illegally.
The file stated that Chloe was believed to be a dryad and, as such, had the ability to control vegetation and had minor fire-controlling powers.

[color=006d5b]"I don't really get it either. Do you know what that guy meant when he said Joanna was more of a walking corpse than usual? That just doesn't make sense."[/color] Matilda replied. [color=006d5b]"No worries. Thanks for leading me away from them."[/color]

"Mr. Stone?" Sophia replied in response to Matilda saying 'That guy'. "Not really no. I'd have to ask Joanna about it, but with how she was acting, I think giving her some space would help her out for the moment." Sophia said as she played with her nail as she thought about the situation.
"I'm just happy you told me where you were, I might have whacked you with that bat if you hadn't called out." Sophia admitted, somewhat joking about it, but she also sounded like she was serious about it too. Matilda could tell Sophia was feeling a bit guilty about that fact as well. "I hope that Scout guy isn't too angry about me putting another large dent into his bat at least, you'd think he'd have gotten a new one already."

<color=purple>"And a dryad is..."
"In some mythologies a dryad is a creature that lives amongst the forest trees. And why she would burn her own forest is beyond me."
<color=purple>"If I understand your description of a dryad, perhaps it was an act of culling, in a sense. A sort of slash-and-burn agriculture. Some farmers do that to help clear land and return carbon and potassium to the soil. It also helps warm the soil to allow for regrowth."
"That is also a possibility."
Gwen turned to Samus and Joanna.
<color=purple>"What do you guys think?" She handed over the documents to the other two.

[color=006d5b]"I'm pretty happy you didn't whack me, too."[/color] Matilda said with a smile.
"Huh, ya that's a bit of an understatement." Sophia joked. "You were pretty good with that gun actually!"
Sophia stayed silent for a moment, Matilda only hearing her breath for a time. Sophia then tilted her head back as she seemed to look up, the sound of her clothing moving indicating this. "I guess." Sophia eventually said. "If you want to?"
