*The glowing blade flies past Samus just as she moves out of the way, cutting a gash in her shoulder. She rolls into the morph ball and boosts away, standing up some distance away, looking out at the sea. They were all going to be stuck here unless they stormed the kennet vesssl.

*The way Tsey had Samus, Weavel, and the others distracted suddenly catches his attention. He turns around, alarmed, unfolding his arms and putting one hand on the Archepée, ready for battle.*

*Katie’s stealth ship warps into orbit over Drelion, and she remains there for a moment*

*Blujay draws the Archepée, its blue foreign light shining ominously. He says nothing, but only points the blade at Tsey*

*Why it was taking so darn long to find Blujay, however, was the other question.*

*Blujay remains in the shadows as he watches the group. For once, the lone swordsman prefers to work away from them and listen in, following at a distance. There are too many hostiles in one room, and having his presence be unknown may be useful in the future. Despite that Samus Aran—the alleged Guardian of the Metroid Realm—is present... he still doesn’t know who to trust. Elira is far too conniving and elusive for his taste, Alice is a loose cannon trigger-finger, Martin is half-mutated into a darkling now, Javalix is a part of Echo Squad—the group that Martin had originally affiliated himself with that now is trying to kill him, Weavel is... “notoriously dangerous” according to Federation records, and Samus hasn’t been heard from since the Battle of Final Destination.*

*Weavel groans somewhat upon hearing no response from Samus*
