''Yes, they are waiting to depart now,'' she answered.

Vera spoke before Evangeline could reply, ''Well, we better get going before the weather puts a stop to it,'' she looked at her daughter and ordered. ''Report back with the flares, Eve. Green for safe, red for dangerous. Good luck, you two.''

Evangeline saluted before leaving, and Valkyria smiled at the two remaining women before leaving the office and returning to her team. As Valkyria followed the white-haired woman through the ship's corridors, the hum of activity surrounded them.
