Shroedinger rolled onto her hands and knees and slowly got up. She didn't pay any attention to the hologram, but did watch Earth get atomized, and knew this would have the strongest impact on Jason. Shroedinger walked to Jason with a slight wobble before getting on her own knees to console him. But what could she really do? Tell him it'd be alright? Nothing would be 'alright' to him, a man who just witnessed the destruction of his species' home planet. So all she really could do was rub one of his shoulders. Other times she could say things would get better, but how could the near extinction of his race get better?

Sheila cautiously followed the man. She didn't say anything, and would have to place her trust in someone claiming to be from the Haven Alliance a second time. Then a hologram appeared in front of the man saying something about his teams efforts being futile, just as the hologram finished talking, a view port opened near her and the man. And she looked out at the conflict and realized she had been brought to the front. But before she could react to the conflict, a flash of light appeared where Earth was and she shielded her eyes. Once it dimmed down she looked back out to see Earth was gone. Sheila fumbled with her words, the shock that her birthplace and only place she considered her true home was now gone. Tears rolled down her face as she began to break down.
