The Ripper watched everyone from an alley, her gasmask still covering her face to keep people from recognizing her. It didn't work with everyone, but it worked well enough. It covered up the look on her face. The pain, the dread. The Ripper was a strong woman physically, and that made her angry. She could survive things that the rest of these people couldn't.

They were cursed with mortality, she was cursed with knowing that no matter how powerful she was she couldn't help everyone.

"The Horne family pub is over there if anyone feels they need a drink or food." Nina told the Sol Tower survivors, pointing to the pub. "Some fast food, medical tents, cafes, there's a WCPD station, and so on." She continued, "There's pilots, mercenaries, and many more if you all want to charter flights off the planet or to other cities. We have a convoy taking anyone who wants to join to Van Leugen."

An Invictus security jogged over to Nina, whispering to her and then pointing to Athena. "Send her over." Nina said, nodding. The security agent beckoned to Athena, "Sonia, Fatin and Phinx made the move to VL. I'll make sure you have room on the convoy to join them." Nina told Sonia.

"Appreciated. But, if you'll excuse me, I need to check on my lab. I left Franco there." The Englishwoman said, "Make sure everyone is accounted for." She ordered the Sol Tower security that had come with the group, "You have my number if you need me, Tabitha."

Sonia gave Tabitha a smile before she began to walk off.
