"I wasn't sent. I followed her here." Darius said, raising his hands defensively.

Without warning, he would revert to human form, reassuming his state from before. (start of the thread). "Ariel Hari, I too am from Harren, though I am what's left of the top-secret Project Astro. I don a suit like yours, though it is free of religious influence."

Darius demorphed as well, and said, "I'm Darius Kileyn, chief mechanic for the Harren's Fury." and extended a hand toward Ariel.

Riley removed her helmet instead of her full suit, "How can we trust that? Top secret means that you could be telling the truth, or lying, and we have no way to prove it," she said.

"Actually, I think I may have seen a few vague references to Astro in the ship's logs, but nothing that would do anything but fuel conspiracy theories." Darius said.

"Reality doesn't care whether you can prove it right or wrong." Ariel said simply, shaking Darius hand once, before pulling away and continuing. "Those Pirates were here for me, and I would have defeated them regardless of our meeting. I sent a signal out in hopes of seeing if anyone else from Harren still lived, but the commanders of the Fury must be incompetent if they did not brief the public face of the resistance against the Pirates about us."

"I imagine you were left behind, or something," Riley said, "Being here, not with the Fury, and it's secret. So adding that up, why should we know about a potential failure that had no impact?" she questioned him, though clearly that wasn't the case. It was her point on what the captain likely believed.

"I'm sure the commanders must have had reason to do it." Darius said.

"I was sent here to strike against a hidden Pirate supply base. I departed with my ship as the Pirates moved in on Harren...if they were striking us with that amount of force, they had to be vulnerable elsewhere, or so the people who gave me these orders told me. I agreed. Once I arrived here, I battled three Pirate ships, took two down before the last one forced me down to the surface. The ship has been repairing itself since." Ariel paused for a moment, turning his piercing blue eyes on her. "As for why they should know about a potential failure, Lion Ranger, it is simply because logically, a potential failure is also a potential success. There are four other powers like mine...though our qualified operators no doubt died when they chose to help defend Harren. But I will find others."

"Then come back to the Fury," she said, "If you are one of us, then come back."

"Once my ship has repaired enough to leave, I will return to the Fury." Ariel said simply "Walk with me." he added, turning and heading towards the campsite, to retrieve his gear.

Darius sat down next to a tree.

"Why?" she asked.

"I doubt you can hold a conversation by shouting, can you? I am retrieving my gear from the campsite." Ari said, gesturing to it.

"I never said I wanted to talk," she said, "I have...other affairs."
Her blood.
