"No, it's fine." Elora suddenly felt heavy, and she suspected that it was her adrenaline stopping. So much has happened in the past ten minutes that she's had trouble keeping up. But now it seemed like things were going back to normal, or as close to normal as one could get in this situation. "Umm, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll always be here. I know from experience that sharing your worries with someone really helps. Okay, I'll let the others know. See you later, Utano."

As Elora walked back to the changing rooms and changed back to her casual clothes, Elora couldn't help but feel like there was something odd about their XO officer. There was the kind of spark in his eyes you don't see on normal people, like if he viewed the world through a filter of some kind. She also suspected he was actually insane, but she wouldn't admit that. Surely people put into such a position must be clear-headed and wise for them to be effective commanders. The professor's just stressed out due to his secret test of character failing. Still, whether he had any mental illnesses or not, he was their commander, and they would have to obey him, or else they would end up like Ian did. Thankfully Sigma got promoted to squad leader out of all of them. [i]She's keeping an eye out for Ian, I'm sure of it.[/i]

Elora felt a bit hungry, and thought about going to the mess hall to get something to eat, but she first wanted to check the briefing room, just in case Sigma had problems with moving Ian. She walked in to find Korie and Zan punching each other. She covered her mouth with her hands in shock. Her face was turning red, and her feet started shaking.

"P-Please...stop fighting...stop...STOP FIGHTING!"
