No longer MIA..

[galactic_rings]

[It had been a while since Saturn had been out and about. In fact, he was actually locked up in a certain someone’s house for some time recovering from a very nasty attack to his ribs. He had important business to attend to though; otherwise he would have just hid away in Cyrus’ old house until he was better healed. Speaking of which, he actually

[Jupiter shows up promptly. She... isn't sure what to say to him. Or what mood to be in. So her face is perfectly neutral. She does need counsel of some kind, though... Even if she is way too stubborn to admit it.]

[galactic_rings]

[Saturn is in much the same boat here. He isn't quite sure what to say to Jupiter, even if he was the one to call her here. It was what he was supposed to do, though. Since he was second in command of Team Galactic, the disappearance of Cyrus made him the leader. He wasn't about to neglect his responsibility to its members, even if not all of them agreed on his position.]

...Jupiter.

[There wasn't a whole lot of emotion behind his greetings, positive or negative. He really didn't expect Jupiter to respond to his letter at all, actually.]

[g3_jupiter]

[It's true that Jupiter can't see Saturn as anything else but her peer. Even so, there's a definite change in her usual attitude as she lowers her gaze.]

... I've always been a bitch to you, huh. ... You deserve better than that, Saturn.

[From Jupiter to English, that's an "I'm sorry". She wonders if he'll be able to understand.]

[galactic_rings]

[Well this is... unexpected. Saturn isn't quite sure what to do with this information.]

...I see.

Well I must say I'm rather surprised to hear you say that. I thought you rather enjoyed it, why the change of heart?

[He sort of gets the apology, but it's just really confusing him to be honest.]

[itsforscience]

[Phoebe's not really sure if she even needs "counsel", but it seems kinda official, so she decides to show up anyways. Needless to say, she's a little surprised at Saturn's lack of adherence to the dress code; after all, she herself is still in uniform.]

... Commander Saturn, sir?

[galactic_rings]

[Saturn much prefers his Galactic uniform, but considering the negative attention Team Galactic was getting and the fact that he has already taken damage for being a member he felt it best to change his attire for the time being. He isn't surprised to see Phoebe responded to his notice.]

..Ah. Hello. You have come for counsel then. [He sounds rather serious in tone, though he doesn't sound angry.]

[itsforscience]

Uhhh... well, I'm not really sure about that, sir. I don't really know what counsel is...

[She straightens up and give a proper salute.] But I saw it was from you, so I figured I should show up, sir!

[galactic_rings]

..I see. [That's even better because he really didn't want to give out counsel anyway. He is actually really glad to see Phoebe here, in one piece is even better.]

Very good.

Perhaps you can begin by telling me exactly what transpired during our... well after you spoke with me from under the tree.

[He wasn't sure how much she could tell him, but he really didn't have much of a clue what happened after he left. If only he was able to watch it all like he had planned.]

[stfuimbombing]

[Mars is still in uniform. However, her hair is unkempt, she looks like she hasn't been getting much sleep, and in general she just looks worse for the wear. She has a sour face as she approaches Saturn, the letter crumpled up in her hand.]

Save your breath, I don't need your help.

[galactic_rings]

[Saturn can't say he is surprised by Mar's reaction. She and Jupiter both responded negatively to Cyrus' disappearance last time when he went missing in the distortion world. She also didn't seem to think to highly of him taking over the team. Still he almost thought she wouldn't even bother to show up.]

...I see. Do what you want then. I'm not going to force you to talk, if you don't want to.

[Pause.]

My only advice is to keep a low profile for a while. I'm sure you are aware of the negative affiliation our name has acquired.

[stfuimbombing]

[Her voice is little more than a growl.]

Not for long. Master Cyrus will show everyone that they were wrong to fight us!

[galactic_rings]

.....

[Does she not know? He wasn't even there and he found out... though it could have been a lie of course, but considering they weren't in the new world now Saturn was pretty sure it was true. Cyrus was gone, wasn't he?]

...Regardless, at the time being it's in your best interest to keep away from those who might seek violence against you....

[galactic_geezer]

[Unsurprisingly, Charon is out of uniform, though it's not much of a change. The only noticeable difference is that his top is completely black and lacks the Galactic logo.]

Hmm. Searching for the more distressed members of our glorious organization, Saturn?

[galactic_rings]

[Well Saturn isn't really all that happy to see Charon, but he will try to be civil.]

..I am here to give support to those who need it, yes. I am merely making myself available... Though I doubt you need anything from me, so I'm curious why you bothered to come at all.

[galactic_geezer]

[Trolling, of course. What other reason would he have to come?]

Mere curiosity. Surely you agree that it was certainly quite the display that Cyrus created. It almost leads one to wonder if he has any possibility of returning...

[He trails off with a sideways glance at Saturn, as though anticipating a response.]

[galactic_rings]

[Okay, you got me there.]

....You're enjoying this, aren't you? [His voice is rather agitated. He doesn't like you, Charon, and it's very obvious.]

[galacticgrunt]

[Sandy didn't need counsel, per se, but she was pretty interested/excited to see another member of Team Galactic, especially if it was one of the commanders.

It was odd, this would be the second commander that she saw out of their uniform.]

Sir?

[galactic_rings]

[It was unusual for Saturn to be out of uniform, that's for sure. But he was trying to avoid ill will from some of the people on the island. This at least made him a little less obvious. He doesn't quite sound cold when he speaks, but it all sounds very routine.]

..Identify yourself... and then express your concerns.
