It's nice to be outside once again. Faygold may still have the atmosphere of war hanging around, but anything to help my now extremely pale skin. At least Sade went outside during our slump.

We know where Chris was heading, but tracking down Ben is going to be much more of a hassle. Still, neither Sade or I know how to get to Chris either. Maybe Mahony will be more useful, and our parents...They aren't doing so great. Father tried to take our place in the war against Cardinal, and he's currently lying in the hospital with serious wounds. Mother is grieving and has locked herself in our family mansion. I don't blame her. The fact that her daughters were going off to war was enough, but now this?

Funny. She has the same fear as I do, and I think that's okay. Still, why would Chris leave me? I can't pinpoint it, but I didn't sense any malicious intent when he left us. Leave? Maybe that's not the right word. Chris hasn't broken up with me yet...and I really don't want to think about that anyways. So we decide to head towards Predator Unit HQ to talk to Mahony about this.

Upon entering his office, we see him lying down on a couch with a bandaged chest and a medical eyepatch. Fortunately that bullet only damaged his eye and didn't go through his skull…

He looks at Sade and I before chuckling.

"Heading back to the front lines? Or are you just going to reunite your team? Whatever it is, you'll only get a little bit of information from me." he mumbles. Sade walks over to cast some restorative magic whilst I sit down and talk with him.

"We're going back onto the battlefield to reunite Team CEBS. Then we'll decide if we'll return to the front lines." I state, and he slightly nods his head before relaxing under Sade's healing. Then he quickly snaps his fingers.

We're quickly escorted to the hangar where our old ships are. Quickly loading our gear, Sade and I get ready to launch. Sade however, has been given a new Marilyn Class Jet just like mine, since her original ship is only designed to resupply others. After testing our comm. system, we take off.

Hm. It seems as if my ship still has Chris and Ben's life signals in it's radar! I can use this to track them. Relaying this info to Sade, our first target is Ben, and he's on...the Nilf Enclave? Wonder what he's doing all the way out there…

A little while later…

This is bad. The port town on the Nilf Enclave is currently ablaze! This is where Ben's life signal is though...Before I can react however, Sade immediately descends and prepares to land! I quickly call after her, but she immediately screams back.

"Ben's gone berserk! You go after Chris, I'll handle this!" she says before cutting her communication off.

Geez Sade! You could give me a bit more time to process something like this...but. I think I'll trust her with this one. She's pretty close with Ben after all, just like I am with Chris. Wishing Sade luck, I change my course towards Chris' life signal.
