(Takes place right after Veris' assault on Ignius)

"Hey. Do you think you went a bit too hard on him? I mean, he looked pretty scared." questioned Silica.

"Oh shit, hell no! You're kidding me, right?", blasted Veris, "You do realize he shot the shit out of our home! The largest city on Planet-damn-Mobius right?"

"Yeah but did he? Did you see his fear when you punched him that second time?"

"Yeah well, maybe he's an actor!" Argued Veris

"Are you really that thick, Veris? Do you thick that a common grey wolf, like him, is gonna have that much skill at acting?" Exclaimed Silica.

"But maybe Eggman taught them that!"

"Uhuh, a fat guy that wants to make an ultimate being to destroy Möbius is gonna take the time to teach it acting!"

"Silica, why are you standing up for him? He's a murderer. No, a genocider!"

"Veris, he's seemed genuine, and even if he did do it he might have changed! Maybe he's going through a sort of post-traumatic stress phase where he forgets what he's done!"

"Silica, you're insane! If he did do it, he could end up wiping all of the survivors of the Park City massacre!"

"We are the survivors!"

"Exactly!"

"So is he coming to our party our not?" asked Silica

"What do you- whatever." Veris sighed "whatever you decide to do I'm with you."

"Okay. Thank you Veris!" Said Silica vehemently.

"But I'm not gonna let that happen!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Veris plops a mini cannon in front of the entrance.

"VERIS NO!" Screams Silica. But it's too late. The cannon had already fired and shut off the entrance to the cave.
