They survived. More than that, it seemed as if they actually won; the Ohm had successfully been driven away from their location. The fight hadn't been easy, which one could easily tell just by looking at the Quarter as it docked in back in Stacy's Hangar

She hadn't gotten out of the Trace suit yet. She just stood with her forehead leaning against the wall, arms dangling. For the first time today, she'd killed people. Yeah, they were Ohm, the guys who'd destroyed Earth. Yeah, the Quarter's crew had fought to save another planet from suffering the same fate. And yeah, they'd won.
Now she was wondering about those Shrikes she'd danced through Splicer's traps and cut up with her own techniques. All of 'em had to have friends, even if it was just each other. She might've even created some more orphans like herself. She could deal with people being hurt. Hell, even her teammates being hurt--as long as they got better. But ending someone else's life?

She gave Sonic a puzzled look and looked down at her trace suit. "Uh, yeah. That's how my Gundam works. Why?" No, she saw no problem with it at all. Although she did sometimes like looking at the guy Fighters in their suits.

She had been a bit worried when she had realized that this next battle against the Ohm meant that she wouldn't be able to help at all. Tailmon had run off somewhere again though, but right now where her partner was didn't really matter. Tailmon was allowed to go where she wanted, after all.

"'Course I am." But the usual cocky things she'd say--took more than some space bugs to dent her, I'm fine but the Ohm sure ain't--seemed wrong. "...Anythin' big going on here?"
