Eventually the team was gathered again back in the World Tree, where Jace and Athena made their abode. Everyone had fallen for the trick, it had worked so much more smoothly than Rose could have thought, even as her wounds were stitched back up, one painful prick at a time, courtesy of Athena, since they didn't have an official doctor here or anything. "I'm okay, really, I'm just glad it was me who was cut instead of Miiko." She winced but was glad for the pain because in a way, it kept her alert, it kept her in battle mode where she was able to be strong and coherent rather than a whimpering little mess that couldn't do anything right. "The six of us are a team." Daisy said with a smile. "So don't go getting caught again, Jellyfish was so worried!" The nearly mindless little twerp blushed then and there and looked away, confirming Daisy's words.
Jace was glad that they were all doing better now, but he had a mission to assign them as well. "It's not urgent, but we do have a mission. This one we can't send the whole army for, because it's rather sensitive." He looked doubtful however, upon looking at them, especially the idea of sending Miiko on a high risk mission. But they were running out of options, they needed to do whatever they could. Rose's ears perked up, she was eager to find out what it was. "Spirits heal faster, so don't worry about my stitches." Rose said quickly, happy to not be stuttering over every other word. Jace sighed and nodded, as if he was trying to talk himself into saying it once and for all. Athena, frail and sick, took a deep breath then because her husband was hesitating so much.
"From an island to the north, Aurum, we received a transmission from a pair of siblings." She explained, showing them the letter with some sort of family seal. "We knew them before all of this, their parents were genius technology manufacturers. But when Aurum was taken over by L, we thought their whole family was killed." The seal looked very familiar, there was a company from her day and age with that same logo. "VorTech." Rose said quietly, and both Daisy and Callum nodded with recognition. They knew it as well. "The Vorkov family was close friends with the Miya family for a long time." Jace said softly, probably remembering his dead friends who vanished during the Aurum takeover.
"The children of the scientists, twins, they sent us this letter asking for help escaping Aurum." The CEO of VorTech, Viktor, and his daughter, Allyana, from their time, Prisca remembered that the two of them were knee deep in the light bearer conspiracy. Was it such a surprise that the Miya family that spawned Stella and Miiko, two light bearers, was somehow connected to the Vorkov family? "Sanaa and Kennan were working in the research facility built by L on Aurum." Athena said, reading off the letter. "When suddenly they both discovered their light bearing mark. They need our help to get to safety here in Yavin, but if we sent a big army, there's no way it'd be unseen."
Before Gavin could volunteer the six of them Jace spoke up. "Before I just send you all there, I need to make sure you're all able to protect Miiko." He said fiercely, he wasn't going to budge on this topic. "If not, she and Rose will just have to stay here."
