Mirage stared at Rain and Talon both, looking back and forth between the two. Her voice was very level as she quietly dismissed one of them. [color=orange]“Talon, I’ll talk to you later. If you’ll excuse us.”[/color] Mirage twisted her hands, and with a careful illusion, made it so only Viktor could hear her next words. The others could see her lips moving, but that was all.

[color=orange]“What I want to know, is what made you think this was a good idea? For one thing, you gave us no warning. You could have killed me or Daphne at that proximity!”[/color] She was starting to shake now, her rage building up and pushing into her voice. Her volume lifted louder and louder, but did not break the illusory bubble. [color=orange]“Do you even understand what you’ve done? There are strict laws against killing and not making use of animals in Atlantis! We’ve broken kingdom law by murdering that squid! That’s why I said it had to be kept alive! It wasn’t a target, it was a protected species!”[/color]

[color=orange]“But you didn’t think about that, did you? No, all you want is glory for yourself.”[/color] There was an eerie edge entering her voice. Something cold and cruel. [color=orange]“You can’t even see past your own ego! You want to be a leader so damn badly, but you don’t even know the first thing about it! A real leader takes everyone strengths into account, builds others up, and makes them better! Not makes every single decision and treats everyone else like dirt! Did you ever consider that you haven’t been chosen to lead because you don’t have the capacity? You don’t deserve to be a [i]leader[/i]! [b][i]You don’t even deserve to be a team member[/i][/b]![/color]” 

Something flashed in her eyes then. Something pitch dark and ugly. Kassy flinched and turned her back on Viktor, fists clenched and eyes shut. [color=f7941d]“You’re done here. Leave.”[/color] A clear and complete dismissal.

The sound righted itself as Kassy stopped the illusion, as if everyone’s ears had been unplugged. [color=orange]“Talon, get us out of here before the sharks show up, please. Everyone else, just… rest. You’ve done everything you could.”[/color] She exited the hatch, going back out into the water.
