Corton laughed a little when Nadanna defended herself, "Much better. Glad you could rejoin the party. Do pay attention, and we can get through this without more senseless name calling."

Tamlin wanted to say something to Ava, but decided against it. There was too much hate and anger in her now. She would have to learn to trust the other hosts and the guardians sooner or later.

If we are to be allies on this suicidal mission, then we are merely that. Allies of circumstance."

Balaan shook his head and sighed, "Trust. Unity. Survival. All of you must trust one another, become more than allies. You are all now comrades in arms. Together, you will survive. If you forget that, then you will fall, and with you, so will the world."
