[quote=GreenGoat] "Virtue?" She jumped up in her seat, her quantum brainwaves expanding suddenly as she spoke both verbally and telepathically."Tieria!" She almost blacked out from that, being drained already from the recent exertion, so she switched onto the Celestial Being's commlink band. She gave a frown upon finding that it didn't connect immediately to Virtue. Perhaps Tieria was using a different band for a reason? Shrugging, she opened up the speakers once more. "Tieria! I see you are ok." [/quote] [quote=Arthanus] Then Saturnalia showed herself, and her presence was a little confusing. "Saturnalia? what are you doing over here, our operation was successful and were getting ready to move back." Gabriel said over coms just before Reve used her speakers to call out the name Tieria. "Seriously? you had outer speakers this entire time and you instead decided to barrage my brain to talk instead of using your speakers." Gabriel said to himself watching and waiting to see what would happen. [/quote] [quote=vancexentan] "Now what does Saturnalia want with us? You're supposed to be helping Lieutenant Black Star's assault wave! Shit-Do-" Grant said as suddenly one of his soldiers stepped in, "Sir with all due respect don't be a dumbass. It's clear she's like all the freakin' weirdos we've been getting and she 'sensed' this lady or some shit. As for how she talked to Gabriel it seemed that it was one sided but it's clear that they are at least able to get a one way thing going, Besides they have that same GN Drive dinky whatever. Maybe that transmits a signal only they can get." the man said to Grant as the man acknowledged this, "Now one of these guys showing up at our door step is ONE thing but two? What the fuck man....Cap' will need to watch'em." Grant muttered to his men through private com. [/quote] At first, Saturnalia chided herself for assuming that the pilot was Setsuna just because she saw the Exia, even though her whole reason for coming here was because of the quantum brainwave signal she had sensed, and she knew Setsuna F. Seiei was no Innovade. Yet the pilot was clearly Celestial Being, or at least, a friend of the Virtue's former pilot, Tieria Erde. Responding to Gabriel, Saturnalia said across allied comms, "For the time being do NOT refer to me as 'Saturnalia', simply refer to me as 'Virtue'. Letting the pilot of the Exia, the blue sword gundam, know that I am not who they think I am may spoil our chances of recruitment. To answer your question, I have succeeded in my mission of causing sufficient damage to the enemy carrier, no more and no less." She thought about how to explain why she was here, and wondered if she could reveal her ability to detect quantum brainwaves as an Innovade. "A...very special signal...emanated from this location that I needed to confirm with my own eyes." If he knew what she was talking about, so be it, if not, he'd probably just assume it was a peculiarity of gundams with GN drives. As for not aiding Black Star's contingent, she offered Grant her very real excuse, "Mauling a carrier takes almost everything out of this suit; in this state, I'd be more of a hindrance than a help at Lieutenant Lyons' side." The Virtue turned towards the Exia and flashed a message using Morse code blinkers so as not to let her voice be heard, "It is good that you are safe as well. Come back to the Sundown with me. This place is strange and we need to discuss further." Saturnalia decided to leave it at that and hope the pilot would willingly come along.
