As Maria spoke up and Elise and the captain dealt with matter, Katya tried her best to pay it no mind. Finding it hard to believe that military would lock up one of its own soldiers for displaying powers that may be considered by some to be unnatural. Well provided the person in question could keep them in check. Well, that is what she hoped. Even if she wasn’t biggest fan of Maria, it would be fair to lock her up in one of these containment spheres.

When the captain turned to Katya, she noticed her expression warmed and said she did expect Katya to ask. Unsure how to feel the captain had already predicted she would ask. Then again … Katya knew no matter what it took she had to see with her own to eye that Elora was okay. That merely looking at the girl though some monitors would not be enough.

As the guards took their position by the entrance to the sphere, Katya could not help but frown at them. Wondering if armed guards where really necessary  Use she knew guards were part of protocol but armed guards. Did they really see Elora as that much of a threat? Katya had her doubts Elora would do anything to hurt any human on the ship of her own free will. Katya positive while Elora was more them capable of fighting it wasn’t in her nature to harm others. Heck, she still recalled the younger pilot asking them to stop play fighting in a shower after what Katya had come to recall as the test battle.

Still, she was not going to ask why there was a need for armed guards. Not wanting to risk having her permission revoked. So merely stepped inside. Katya seeing Elora the older pilot noted how Elora turned away. Katya feeling sorry for Elora and slowly started to move towards the girl. Aware he time was limited but didn’t want to rush things having no idea what state Elora might be in. Worried come at her quickly and hugging her like she wanted to might be a little too much too soon. 

As Elora turned face Katya, the older pilot got a good look at the condition of her younger friend. Katya’s feeling incredibly sorry for Elora as she looked liked she been put through something horrific. Katya’s heart sinking a little a pang of guilt crept into her mind. The young woman still blaming herself for failing to protect Elora initially. But Katya tried to bury those feelings as Elora asked if it was really her. 
[color=Fuchsia]“It is.”[/color] Katya answered giving Elora a small smile.

Katya watched as Elora wrapped her hands around herself. Katya having to look away for a moment when she noticed Elora was on the verge of tears finding the sight hard to look at. But as the younger pilot spoke Katya slowly look back at hear and listened to her words. Unable to imagine how horrible it must have been for her to have to endure such torment. Whatever things they had given her what games they made her play could not have been pleasant. After all one only had to look at Elora to see that she’d been through hell.

When Elora hugged Katya, the older pilot returned the hug. Hand’s tightly wrapping around Elora. As she apologised saying she was weak and gave up and asked forgiveness.
[color=Fuchsia]“It’s okay Elora the Cruxi didn’t give you a choice, it’s not your fault.”[/color] she said softly hoping it would provide the younger pilot with some small level of comfort. Katya having no idea how hard it must have been for Elora to been forced to harm her comrades.

As Elora released her hold on Katya did the same. Although she kept a hand on the young pilot's shoulder. Katya aware any minute now she’d be told to leave. Pretty sure her 5 minutes was very close to over.  That thoughts however quickly got shoved aside when Elora spoke again Katya perking up when the words “But… I still hear him” where spoken. Katya more then a bit surprised to hear those words. Katya listening to ever words Elora spoke until the sphere was opened Katya glancing behind her before looking back at Elora. Katya feeling a hand firmly grip her arm and start to pull her towards the entrance. Katya make no effort to resist the guard as he pulled on her arm. Merely mouthing a [color=Fuchsia]I’m sorry to Elora.[/color]

Outside of the sphere, Katya ripped her arm free of the guard's grip who had already started to let go of her. Looking towards the captain with a look an annoyed look.
[color=Fuchsia]“It was not necessary to pull me out like that. Another moment to bid her goodbye and I’d of left. To stress her out like that i … nevermind.”[/color] Katya stated trailing off the young woman realising that what she wanted to say at the end of that sentence was not a good idea. Given the captain had just done her a favour. Leaving that sentence unfinished she walked off. Stopping a few steps past Ritsu turning to face the captain
[color=Fuchsia]“Thank you, ma’am. If you are able, please let me know when she is released. I’d like to be there if possible.”[/color] Katay spoke giving her a quick salute before finally leaving the room. 

After seeing Elora, Katya spent quite a bit of time dwelling on what the younger pilots words as she was removed from her sphere. Katya unsure what to make of them. Katya knowing Elora what something dead. That much was obvious. But what was it? Just who or what was this Son? Katya willing to guess it was some sort of Cruxi. But what exactly? Was it the captured Elite? Or something else entirely? Something they had not seen before? Whatever it was it Katya had no idea and dwelling on it made it hard to focus on repairing Caretaker and giving her a headache. Katya thinking until she had a proper private conversation with Elora about it. That she should just keep quiet about it. 

When they arrived back at Solaire and had landed. Katya was pleased to back at least for the moment they’d get a little break. Feeling like she needed one after the base mission. Too much had happened and Katya found the nap fallen took before being woken to change and bring her werk to the surface was not restful her mind replaying the events of the base mission. 

Seeing Loreno’s creepy smile sent a shiver down Katya’s spine. Finding what she deemed to his him as excited to be something she would rather see anytime soon and prayed she would never be the object of his excitement. The idea sending another shiver down her spine, which made it hard for her to maintain the statue which was starting to make her arm ache.  

Hearing the word dispissed. Katya mentally sighted pleased to be free letting herself enter a relaxed stance as she lowered her arm. Jumping back into attention when he turned back around and attempted to introduce a pilot who be joining the squad. Katya eyeing the newcomer for a moment before turning to leave the hanger. Katya of to change out of her plug suit, before heading to the mess hall. Finding herself feeling a little bit hungry.
