Even if Viral didn't believe that things would improve they had to keep telling him that. If he lost all hope and had those around him saying the same thing then there would be absolutely no reason for him to go on. It wouldn't matter then even if they did make a breakthrough, if Viral had no notion of improving he might refuse treatment. Yumi was disappointed they couldn't go and see Vegeta, albeit Viral raised a fair point in that regard. Vegeta wasn't incapable of making mistakes and considering the gravity of this work they really couldn't afford to mess anything up. It would be best if their friend was completely rested and ready for the research, otherwise it could well be all for naught. "Okay, so we'll let him sleep for now then. Plus, if you really need him later then he can just come to your room, if you're worried still about everyone else seeing you that is," Yumi said, frowning a little, "Yeah, sorry about that... I just don't feel like I can let you be alone right now honestly. If I can keep you calm somehow, or at least keep you from going off then I'll stick around. But don't think I'm blaming you for my being here, I'm happy to help!" It was no trouble to be with Viral even in his condition, she didn't mind that in the least. Choi could wait, there was time to train and she had just eaten so there was nothing whatsoever calling for her attention besides the Beastman right now. And just as well, she didn't want any distractions at the moment.

Haku resigned himself to bug feed by the time he'd started moving, hoping like hell that didn't end up being the case. His best bet he figured was to get around T'charrl and onto his back, hoping that the Kaesstrian's arms weren't going to be nearly flexible enough to reach him. More worrying were the spikes protruding off of the alien, something he could see being skewered by if he happened to get pressed against a wall. All sorts of unpleasant scenarios went through his mind in seconds but he went ahead anyways, managing to get himself up and on T'charrl. Following what the Spirit had told him he placed his hands on T'charrl uncertainly, beginning to give over Ki as best he could. To his surprise it was being drawn a bit quicker than he'd liked, and found it hard to pull away all the same. All he could do was sit there with an uneasy look as he let the process carry itself out, hoping all of his Ki wasn't taken. Haku nearly wet himself when he came eye to eye with the twisted Kaesstrian, fearing he was about to be in a world of hurt. Mercifully Shu of all people came to his rescue with a bag of fruit and managed to draw T'charrl's attention away, leaving Haku to take care of his part. Breathing a bit easier now he began to notice some of the new changes undo themselves, spikes receded and fur began replacing the hardened-leathery substance on the surface. Either it was working or T'charrl was fixing himself, either way the Saiyan was just relieved. Again out of nowhere that voice began speaking to them, startling Haku and near making him fall off. "W-What...? I-I've done nothing for him...! Have I...?"

The appearance of the creatures was coming too soon, they couldn't waste time any longer on trivial matters. Those damned Rebels were going to ruin everything too, if only they had any idea what they were doing by starting this war. Yamate needed his children back and he needed them soon if they were to successfully be rid of this new threat. To get his children back this time they were going to need more than a simple raiding party though, and he seriously doubted they were going to be foolish enough to just come to him again. They would have to be taken by force, and made to see things his way. For that he would need help, and here came one of the men who might be able to assist him in doing that. Yamate knew Krom had reservations but didn't particularly care, near most Elites had some issue with how he dictated things, that was just how their nature as Saiyans caused them to act. "How do I intend to retrieve them? By force, I'll take them from their 'alliances' and bring them here. No collars, no taming this time. I will show them our side is the side they should be fighting on, plain and simple. I won't allow the Rebels to disillusion them any longer." He was simply sick and tired of Korian's meddling, that man would be dealt with as soon as Shu and Takeshi were retrieved. "I don't have to tell you that you'd be part of this task of course, but humor me, Krom. Do you truly believe this is a fruitless effort, bringing my sons back?"
