Thank goodness, it was the rebels. Albeit that may not be any better than Saiyans seeing as the note they'd left on was less than stellar. Nonetheless Vegeta felt discernibly relieved when he saw Sayomi come up on the screen, allowing himself a sigh of relief before giving a partial wave. "You wouldn't shoot us down after the trouble you went through helping us, it wouldn't make sense," he pointed out, certainly finding it easier to speak now. The order being given for the troops to withdraw was a welcome one, and it meant they weren't going to be blown to smithereens. "And we're all doing fine, for the most part. A little tough time of things lately for some of us, but overall we're doing okay. Considering how far you are from your base I take it things are going well for you too." Clearly the rebels had been busy, as at this point it seemed to be quite evident that the rebellion was gaining steam. Considering they had found this Saiyan warship it had to be Saiyan controlled space, and yet here were the enemies of the empire strolling in almost nonchalantly. Curious, Vegeta wanted to know just how much they had gotten done in the few days since the separation. 

"We stole the ship! Right from under the noses of the Saiyans!" Takeshi said proudly, finally breaking free from Kabocha and getting back on screen. It hadn't exactly been a momentous battle that had earned them the craft, but Sayomi didn't know that. "And we're out here to go hunting... Well, kind of. See, there was this monster on our ship, and it was spooking these guys out," he explained, gesturing to the engineers, "So we looked into it and ended up killing the thing. Whatever it was though it was strange, not like anything we've seen before." 

"It turned into smoke when it was killed. No blood, no visible wounds, it just... Vanished..." Vegeta continued, frowning as he rubbed at his chin. "We tracked through the ships logs to this planet, we figured we'd try to figure out where it came from and if we can, take out any more that are down there. One of them wasn't too bad, but we're worried if there's more, that they could be a real problem." Not to mention the peculiar ability the creature had, phasing into surfaces and sliding along like a shadow. It didn't have to be particularly strong if it could sneak around, and that's what made it truly dangerous. "If people are going to travel around here at some point then it's got to be safe. And now that you're here... Maybe you could help us take a look? We're not entirely certain what's down there, and the more force we can bring the better."

Takeshi found the reunion with the rebels bitter sweet. It was nice to see Sayomi again, who while not the most sociable maybe had always done right by them. Where she was though Korian was sure to follow, and that man in particular had him uneasy. The rebel leader alone had been the reason they left, and seeing that they may have to deal with him now was fair disheartening. Tensions were most definitely still there, and who knows how things would pan out once Korian and Viral saw each other again. "Is Korian around...? We should probably talk to him, y'know... Before we go ahead and do anything? If he's still sore about things I don't want to start a fight with the guy. We've got enough to do without him being a jerk."
