Miiko did not think much of her bumps and bruises, she attempted to remain inconspicuous by appearing as though it hurt. She gave little winces and hisses her and there to authentic the act when in truth only a few of the bruises and cuts were real. Miiko hoped that she wasn't over selling it, but with each yelp or whimper her Father's concern seemed to grow and his touch became ever so gentle. "Better?" Miiko nodded and gently touched the bandage on her forehead. "Thanks Daddy," Miiko gave him a hug and went to sit by Rose's feet. They gathered around the table when Jace began with a sigh that he had a mission for them. "A mission?" Miiko jumped to her feet, "I want to go." Despite appearing beaten down, Miiko was already prepared to get back into the action. Jace was hesitant for obvious reasons, the first being that Miiko had supposedly just been kidnapped by Republic agents, which meant that they would know who Miiko and Rose were and to look out for them.
"We can protect them," Gavin nodded. "Those Republic bastards took me by surprise, but combined with Jellyfish and Daisy, Callum and I can take them." Miiko felt a pang in her stomach, not guilt, perhaps butterflies? She had never heard of VorTech, she didn't know who these people were, but if someone was in need of rescuing then you could be darn well sure that Miiko and Rose would save them! "I'm brave and strong, just like Stella! I can protect myself and if I can't, then Rose can!" Miiko insisted. It was clear that Jace still didn't want to send them, but Athena placed a hand in his shoulder to stop him from denying her this chance. "Alright Miiko, if you really want to go then we won't stop you. I trust that the others can protect you," if Athena lost Miiko the same way she had lost Stella, it would kill her.
"You'll be leaving tonight. Aurum is a long boat ride away, so you'll be leaving via private ship." Jace informed them, "the mission shouldn't take longer than four days, I expect to receive word from you the moment you reach Aurum." Miiko grabbed Rose's hand, "Let's go pack!" She didn't listen to the rest of Jace's speech, Miiko wanted to share a private moment with Rose in her bedroom, away from the others. "We won't be able to investigate Jaren if we're away," Miiko said quietly, stowing the notes they had taken today underneath her mattress so that her parents would not find them. Miiko grabbed out a bag and began to stuff clothes inside. "I've never heard of Aurum, I wonder if it's warm there?"
Some islands remained warm throughout the year despite the fact that it was cold on Yavin, which greatly confused Miiko. "How can it be cold in one place and then warm in the next at the same time?" Miiko packed both a bathing suit and winter coat. The last item that went into her bag was the bitter rabbit toy which she had wrapped inside of her nightshirt. "Okay, I'm all ready. Let's go pack your things so that you'll be ready to go when the boat gets here." Miiko led Rose to Stella's room and rummaged through Stella's belongings for a bag.
