Circe Dynamo // Selenium Shuttle
It was quite obvious from the start that Ryuko was much more troubled than he seemed, yet the task force was nothing if not benevolent. Whatever would have happened wasn’t worth further consideration if he was ready to rejoin Selenium, even if it was to save himself from further scrutiny. Zara was all too eager to take advantage of the present opportunity, something Circe could admire, though not openly.
Still, valid points were made along the way that didn’t help the overall case. Miles correctly pointed out that Ryuko possessed ample time to alert headquarters, even more so since he ran the whole organization. His excuse, for now, was the longing freedom from duty, which could only hint at less than genuine intentions with young McCoy. It was entertaining, in a way, to see what sort of explanation could even cover a situation like this. Either this cave expedition was something that Ryuko frequently indulged in, which could fill in that overconfidence of not being caught, or this was all new. Both option still left minimal specifications for why meeting with a Lakorite was a good idea.
Circe only tilted her head when Ryuko handed his pistol to Zara. The relationship info between Zelda and Hector were unnecessary, yet it showed for something if Ryuko felt it important enough to include. The only present worry was the ‘ghost’ character described, and as far fetched, Lakora had a way of writing off rules left and right.
The current concern was the possibility that reinforcements would arrive from the careless escape from this spectre companion Zelda had. As helpful as Ryuko wanted to seem with the direction out of the cave, Circe still handed him a preprogrammed teleport bracelet. They had all they needed here.
She closed her eyes for the duration of the journey, lasting for less than a second, but there was something comforting in directly seeing the familiar walls of the hidden shuttle. Zelda could be moved to the brig in conjunction with the earlier prisoner, all while the fragment was secured in the cargo bay. Though she didn’t immediately catch Damien and Bryn on board, the shuttle statistics openly displayed their locations toward the back. Zara would certainly react to not being the first ones back.
