[h2][b]Eri 'Moram - The [i]Resurgence[/i] Briefing Room[/b][/h2]

[hr]

McKay's explanation did make some degree of sense to Eri, though it hardly improved her mood. If he was correct, then these "Ancients" had stolen them from their universe and deprived Sanghelios of one of its strongest defenders, all to force them to fight a battle they did not want nor care for. Of course, it still all sounded like guesswork, but Eri was not stubborn enough to outright deny the possibility. Whether the crew of the [i]Aegis[/i] liked it or not, they were probably going to have to put more trust in the scientists of the other universes than Eri would have preferred. Despite all her efforts these past few days, she had found no other alternatives that they could pursue. 

If the situation itself was not enough, one delegate in particular irritated her enough to send her into a low growl. His arrogance made a San'Shyuum seem humble, and his irrelevant rambling felt like it was just wasting their time. She did give the courtesy of at least listening to his words, though that did not much help matters as far as her mood was concerned. She might not have had any semblance of scientific or technical knowledge, but she was still perfectly capable of listening, understanding, and forming her own conclusions based on the information presented to her. Others were ignoring him and considering the notion of working against Anubis, but Eri was not beyond snapping at the arrogant "scientist". 

"You, fat man." Eri began, snarling at Eggman. "Did you listen to the Human...McKay, anywhere in your blustering? These...emeralds you speak of, nothing of their description exists in my universe. Galaxy-spanning civilizations rose without them, and did not need them. If they existed in their universe..." She motioned to the [i]Daedalus'[/i] delegates. "...then they would have mentioned them. If they were [i]needed[/i] to cross to another universe, then these "Ancients" of his universe would have required them. So, we will likely need to solve this without them. If any of your "expertise" does not rely on these power emeralds, then speak. Otherwise, stop irritating me."
