Unerased Savior

[SolSavior's seen better days.  Lots of them.  Even the fight with Sara had confined the damage to mostly just SolSavior's joints and more vulnerable spots, whereas this scuffle with Sol"Eraser"'s seen much of the true and honest Sol machine pushed to the limit]

The Shadow Mirrors and the Indalph... united in desires for conflict and conquest.  Justify war to provide a reason for technological advancement and growth, and just move from world to world so you're never short on supply.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Shadow Mirror's own world just drove them away...

Certainly would explain why they didn't try coming to us asking for help... or the Indalph doing anything for them either, come to think of it.

Or maybe they really just don't care.  They certainly all have a trend for disregarding the weak and undesired.

[And yet the Savior team weren't the ones that got the roughest fate out there.  The memorial for fallen pilots has a new entry, and double agent status be damned...]



... Lamia...

[Mizuki's still going to pay her respects.]

I wish the circumstances of... everything... could've been better.  For your sake.

Wherever you are, whatever afterlife exists for... whatever you were... rest well.  When it came to it, you were our friend, not the Shadow Mirror's tool.  And we'll see them pay for what they did to everyone, you included.

2-here comes the fun police

Is that so.

[The weird girl with the other demon robot is there, leaning against a wall. It seems she's been there some time.]

[empress_without_a_throne]

Whatever the case was... she felt our way of life was worth dying to help protect. Even if she'd lied to us before about who and what she was...

... She proved herself loyal to the Unity Group in the end. And I feel indebted to her because of that.

[brought_it_back]

Don't.

[empress_without_a_throne]

If she had chosen the Shadow Mirrors over us, we might all be dead right now. She chose to help us, even after the truth came out that she'd never been meant to be on our side.

How many double agents do you know of who'd be willing to properly defect if their cover was blown prior?

[brought_it_back]

And how much of that attack was her fault to begin with?

[Eva just stares at that memorial for a while.]

...I should have stopped her. Before she even got the chance to do any spying...

[empress_without_a_throne]

[Her fists clench.]

And you would've made everything worse. I don't care what Lamia's objectives here were prior to the attack, after your stunt with Walt's... other... I wouldn't trust you with any delicate situation like that.

[brought_it_back]

What they were is extremely suspicious. Within a minute of talking to her I knew...I knew she was a spy. That deserves investigation and interrogation...the walt-child is a different matter.

[empress_without_a_throne]

You knew and never thought to discuss this anyone?

[brought_it_back]

I thought it was obvious. I only ever talked to her for five minutes.

Did you never ask about her past? Did you never question the inconsistencies in her story?

[Eva makes a 'tch' noise, and looks at some patch of wall.]

She was so unbelievably bad at it, I thought she was harmless. Or a distraction for something more sinister...

[empress_without_a_throne]

Unfortunately I had other concerns.

... And with her dead and the Indalph making a SolSavior-killer, that's another one on top of everything else.
