3/4ths Beat, Finale

[marinefashion]

[There's a familiar, if badly battered mecha flying into docking. When the pilot gets out, she sighs and brushes a hand through her blue locks which had been chopped hideously short.] Man, it hasn't changed a bit.

[In her hands she had a data pad, holding it up.] I wonder if anyone missed me.

[Later on, she'll be found in an unoccupied room, and setting up a presentation. When she's ready, she'll turn to the others.]

I know where DUNE went.

Good. And sorry for dragging the Chalice into this again. We were hoping to finish this but the Getter incident, well...

"Saviours of Mankind..."

[Devon pauses and sighs, thinking of words spoken sarcastically so many years ago. Words that somehow became truth.]

I will do what it takes to make Earth a safe place to live. If it requires bashing in the skull of a nigh omnipotent, almost divine entity - so be it.

And I am sure others on board think the same.

[Spoken almost casually. This is not bragging, this is stating a fact.]

[And knowing Devon as well as she did, Eri nodded.] We've beaten things before. It's not going to get us down now.
