	Brian rose his hands in objection as the Divers exchanged words in front of him, afraid to offer any real input himself. The entire situation sent chills up and down his spine. All he wanted was for everyone to calm down. The men with Len looked to him and scoffed. Without any delay, they backed away and took a seat by the base of the pillar, where their lunch rested haphazardly on the tip of a boulder. Brian breathed out and chuckled nervously, nodding to Len in appreciation, and patting Jenso's back lightly.

	"It's warranted, I'm sorry," Brian started, unbuttoning his blue jacket to reveal his white under-clothes. It was standard issue for CMAS officials to wear a white tunic beneath their uniform, but most wouldn't recognize them without the signature blue overcoat, or the CMAS crest that rested near the chest area upon it. Brian threw the coat off to to the side, nowhere in particular, and shrugged. "It's getting warm in here, anyways. Yvette might be facing more resistance than I am, though."

	Yvette cringed as the Divers surrounded her with doubtful glares. Her blue overcoat attracted the eyes of every Diver in her line of sight, or so it would seem. And not one of them would allow her a chance to explain herself. "I guarantee you-"

	"That you've got guts? We got that much, toting around a uniform like that. You think that you're funny?" A diver interrupted, poking her right shoulder aggressively. Yvette swatted his hand away and spun to face him with a refined posture. "They all walk like that," he started up again, "Like they're better than us!"

	"I [b]assure[/b] you," Yvette started. But before she could continue, somebody interjected and pushed her way into the crowd. Finally, somebody who could use their [i]brain.[/i] Yvette smirked and nodded. "It's as she says," She said softly, unbuttoning her coat to reveal the tunic underneath. The Divers exchanged doubtful glances. When Mira appeared on the scene, and further defended Yvette, the crowd quickly lost their urge to bully the woman around. There was no point inciting any sort of conflict within their own ranks, after all. Most divers were smart enough to know that. One after another, they spread out to continue restoring their home, without a word. Stubborn bunch, those Divers. Then again, if they weren't so stubborn, they might've not survived long enough to find the paradise in the first place. Yvette turned to Mira and Lila, clearing her throat into her fist as she did so. "Thank you," She said, pulling her standard issue coat off in a hurry, and tossing it aside. Yvette's figure was muscular, appearing even heftier than Lila despite being roughly the same height. The woman's presence was one of refined overbearing might, as one would expect from a commanding official within the CMAS ranks. She bowed, stood up straight, and ran a hand through her short, red hair. "The crowd here is terribly on edge. I'm to believe it's warranted, however. My people- Rather, Sydney's people, have taken quite a toll on your home."

	The western platform that overlooked all of Diver's paradise, much like its twin entrance way to the east. Bodies upon bodies of Divers were lined upon along its edges, with their faces covered by linen cloths. There were too many to name, a great deal of whom had limited reputations within No-man's-land. It made it difficult to identify the bodies, but the surrounding Divers did their best. Life in No-man's-land made it almost certain that, if you had any family in Thorisa, they would never know the date of your death. Without much delay, less than 24 hours after the CMAS' attack, several Divers poured in from the western entrance, carrying two bodies down the ramp in groups of four. "Where's Luke!?" one of them shouted, "Tinon? Luke? Any of them!" Their voices rang out loudly, but not loudly enough to reach across the entire paradise. They were however, loud enough to reach those along the western entrance, as well as many who were positioned just below, including Oswyn Ainsworth, just moments after he'd collected his hidden supplies.

	One of the two bodies being carried down the ramp was still pulsating with life. The other? Dead as a doorknob. Several divers poured around the injured Divers and began asking questions regarding what had happened. Others made their way up the exit ramps to find out what the issue was in and of itself. Two men helped the second group carry the dead Diver away, while the first group placed their friend against the ground. 

	"What's wrong with his eyes?" one man shouted, looking down at the man. His eyes were wide opened, and his skin was pale. Where his pupils should have been, there was whiteness, overtaking any vision he might've had left, and leaving him blind. The Diver couldn't move at all, nor could he speak.

	The path that sprawled further south from where Elisa was set up found new travelers stomping their way along its stretch from the north. Three men in dark blue robes, two of whom had their faces obscured by hoods, made their way south. The man who's face was revealed carried a pack that shook and clinked as if it were full of glass, or metal. He showed no expression, and carried fourth without delay, headed for the south as he passed Elisa's hiding place.
