Matt suddenly wakes up, instantly sizing up the situation. He was being held by Nathan, and surrounded by Sergal. Clearly he had been rescued from his earlier predicament by these people, but neither of them was truly his ally. Each of them could turn on him in a second, all of them were a risk. And now that the primary threat to his life had been dealt with, he had no more need for their presence. He would need to dispose of them as soon as possible, or at the very least escape their custody. If he could reach Ygdrassil, he might be able to finally repair it and regain his empire. Babylon had been but a bug compared to his ancient flagship.

Sitting up, he drops from Nathan's grasp. His cybernetic augmentations allowed him to ignore pain, although he was accutely aware of the damage his body had taken. "I believe I should still have a say in how this goes. First, I would like to thank those responsible for saving my life, despite previous conflicts that have taken place between our empires." Matt gives a brief nod of acknowledgement to the Sergals and Nathan. "However, I also believe, based on Nathan's expression, that if I do not intervene this entire area of space is about to become destroyed. As I am occupying said space, I would like to avoid said situation. Sergal, I recommend you stand down for now. I will share with you any information I have, if I may afterwards leave in peace."
