"Roger", Jake responded.

"Maria...come on. I'm still going to need you to cooperate with me here...can you stand?", Jake then asked as he manuvered Weissritter to Neo Angel.

"...Jake...thank you...I'm sorry that...your seeing me in such a state of-"

"Don't worry. I get it. Cruxi mind games to the extreme. Yeah I've heard stories that some can screw with your minds but first time I've seen the ugly results of it. Well talk later. Cruxi reinforcements are coming in less than ten minutes", Jake said, cutting off Maria.

"...no time to search for other P.O.W.'s or survivors...go figure...", Maira simply responded.

Jake watched as Neo Angel, somehow, get up to it's feet despite all the clear damage it had taken. He also heard alot of grunting and hissing from Maria.

"...Maria...just put up with it. Lean on Weissritter if you have to..."

It did and with Neo Angel in one arm and his Neo Rifle in the other, Jake then began escorting her out of this place.

"...Base...this is Maria Twilight...request to leave that Cruxi here. That bastard deserves to be incenerated."

Yet again, the emotion...but now he was seeing clear out anger behind that statement.

"Maria. We have our orders-", Jake began but was cut off.

"BULLS***! That..."thing" is not worth the trouble! All were doing is giving it another possibilty to get on our ship and do it's telekinesis on everyone again!"

"...first off, did you even SEE where it got struck? If I'm right, that's a Cruxi blade your holding Maria. And that gash on it...we'd be lucky if there's anything LEFT of that "thing" as you put it..."

As they continued, Maria was silent...but then spoke again along the way.

"...Base...Angel here...Sorry...but years of killing my emotions finally caught up to me...but I guess I should thank Elora for reviving them...even if I am a total mess..."
