Letting Pablo and Nino handle the details, Irina stormed out. She was powerless in Pablo's office, there was nothing she could do there to help Emma, but there was certainly something else she could do. Lise followed her footsteps hurriedly. "Don't, don't do anything rash." Lise warned carefully. "Pablo's a brother to me, he won't fail us! Just believe in him, okay?" The naive child didn't want to think that maybe Pablo's stonewalling by the Senate would be enough to stop him. Something definitely had to be done here. Emma - Miiko - she was under Irina's protection! In front of the Project Ronan pod were Jonah and Cyrus, trying to push their way past the staff in order to get a good look at it.
"Move aside!" Lise ordered loudly, holding up her ID card. "As a member of the Elite Four, I outrank you, so step aside and let me and my friends through!" The science staff meekly raised their hands and backed away. "I tried calling my dad, to get his help for this." Cyrus offered, looking very much terrified. "He hung up, I don't know what's happening up on the surface." Jonah too was devoid of his usual jokes and banter, he was staring at the android intently. "All we need to do is kill it, right?" Irina tore a metal bar off of the wall, once used for helping hang things, now it was a weapon. "I'll do it, you all stay out of my way." But before she could, Lise held her arm back. "Iri, you can't! You can't!"
Irina turned to stare at her, pushing her away. "Why not? Emma's in danger, she's my family, I have to save her." It was all pretty clearcut for her, but Lise was adamant about this. "You can't, Pablo will take care of it! If you break it, you'll be out of my protection, the Senate, they'll hang you for breaking Capitol property, you can't!" Cyrus didn't even try defending his father. "I'm surprised you're here with us, Cyrus." Jonah noted, and Cyrus grunted harshly. "Right now I'm here as a cadet, and all the cadets here are my family. As a cadet, I'll do whatever I can to save Emma." Irina was a spirit, she was already dead, so she didn't care about what consequences may come for her.
But before Irina could break the glass someone else came to interrupt. Conductor Roz was here, and his face was stern, as if he had gone through losses before. He had to, if he was a military man, it was a part of the definition. "Don't stop me, Conductor. This is my sister." Irina muttered, ready to perform an act of sacrifice if it meant saving Emma. "Who said I'm here to stop you?" The Conductor replied gruffly, taking the metal bar from Irina's grip. "As a Conductor, my job is to make sure the cadets under my protection survive until they Graduate. The Senate will have a harder time punishing me than you, Reisser, so I'll be the one to do the honors."
