New Kobol.
Roslin was already prepared to head out as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Today was the day that they were due to meet with the Fina Five, and the Cylons from Eden with the Nox and the Earthers moderating between the two peoples. There was one part of her that was excited – she and the delegation going with them were about to meet a truly alien race. But another part of her was slightly terrified, especially since everything she had read about in the Sacred Scrolls was about to be called into question. She wasn't sure if the public would be receptive to the fact that there were parts of the Scrolls that were either wrong or misinterpreted. Either way, she knew that the public were keeping a tight hold on their religious views during this time of stress.
In fact, a new temple to the gods had been set up in one of the towers which would see over a thousand-people worshipping at all hours of the day. And the priests were discussing setting up two more areas of worship. Shaking her head as she turned to the knock on her door, the President put everything to one side as she spoke, "come in."
The door then slid open and a smile appeared in her face as Commander Adama stood looking back at her from the hallway with Billy to his left. The woman looked at the mirror as she stood in new grey suit and trousers… new on the virtue of simply being her old suit which had been recently cleaned. The woman then strode towards the Commander and Billy, stepping out of her room and into the hallway while the door slid shut behind them.
"Madam President," said the Commander.
"Commander, Billy," Roslin said as she looked from one to the other before returning to Commander Adama, "shall we?"
"This way, Madam President," said Billy as he motioned towards the ring platform at the end of the hallway. The three of them then began briskly walking towards the ring platforms while Roslin asked if the others were ready to leave.
"They're waiting for us at the Gate to the Stars," said Billy nodding his head, "as requested, the Vice-President will be in-charge while you're gone. And he'll be following on your authorization to send teams of archaeologists and scientists, as well as their escorts, to what the Earther are referring to as Furling Earth."
"Good," said the President before she turned her head towards the Commander, "Commander, how is the shield and weapons installation progressing on the Galactica?"
"We will be performing initial tests in a month, Madam President," said the Commander, "at least on the flow of power to the emitters which would be installed on the hull starting next week."
"Good," the president said as she and the others stepped onto the platform. The rings then rose up and surrounded them before a white light washed over them. Once they found themselves back on the platform in the lobby, the three of them waited for the rings to return to their deactivated position before stepping off the platform. "I would like to be present during the testing, Commander."
"We're just testing the power flow, Madam President," said the Commander as they walked through the lobby towards the exit, "testing of the shields would begin once we're certain that the power-flow is stable. And we don't see that happening until the end of the month. In the meantime, we have to be prepared for anything that could damage the ship since we are using a completely new power source for the shield and weapons. You'd be in danger if there was an accident." The Commander added that Roslin was more than welcome to observe the testing of the shields once the emitters were installed, and the power flow was regulated enough to prevent a catastrophic explosion from taking place.
"The Earther's said they would be sending more of their engineers to train Chief Laird and his people since Baltar's been… well… murdered." Said the Commander who loathed to use the word 'murdered' publicly. He knew, just as Billy and Roslin did, that while not on purpose… Baltar still gave away state secrets to another party. To the three of them, Baltar was still a traitor who put the safety of the Colonies in the back seat to his personal quest of both power and lust.
Billy wanted to ask about how Apollo was doing as well, but he believed that that Commander bore him ill will for talking Dee out of being the vampire's anchor by asking her to marry him instead. He knew that the Commander was disappointed in the decision, but accepted that Dee had doubts, and with the upcoming wedding… she wanted her soul to belong to her husband to be. So Billy remained silent as they walked out of the building when a woman in a flight-suit ran up to them. Billy saw that she was panting as she stopped in front of them and nodded her head at the President and then at the Commander who introduced the young woman as one of the Raptor pilots aboard the Galactica, Lt. Louanne Katraine.
"Sir," said the pilot as she looked at the Commander, "I know you're in a hurry but… but could I please talk to you in private?"
The commander looked at the officer in her flight suit, and his heart started to beat faster and faster. He could tell from the expression on her face that they were about to talk about anchoring Apollo's soul to her own; and that he was not going to like the decision she had made. The Commander then asked Roslin and Billy to go on ahead without him. The two of them nodded their heads before walking away, while the Commander and Kat walked away from the throngs of people around them to a quieter section on the south side of the tower. The Commander assumed that she would use the same reasoning as Starbuck in regard to wanting to continue the fight against the rogue Cylons and Cain, and that she was afraid that if she died in battle, then it would affect Apollo; maybe even somehow destabilize the soul.
As the two of them faced each other, he saw Kat breathe in deeply before speaking. He listened as the young woman gave him similar reasons as Starbuck in regards to why she shouldn't be an anchor for Apollo. However, there was one more reason she added… a reason he himself didn't consider.
"Sir," said Kat as she looked at the grass while nervously rubbing the back of her head. She then looked up at the disappointed look on the commander. She was about to stop talking… but she knew that she had to go on. It was something she was thinking about for the past few days on her own ever since she volunteered, along with Dee and Starbuck, to be an anchor for Apollo's soul. "I… I'm worried about my own soul. I'm worried that… that even though my soul will anchor you son's soul… I… I mean… I mean what I'm trying to say is that he is still a demon, sir. I'm scared that my soul would be tainted by that demon and.. and all the good that I do in my life would still mean little since my soul will be tainted by evil and…. And I'd never be able to enter Elysium. Instead, I'd enter Hades And… and I don't want that, sir. I… I'm sorry, sir. I.."
"I understand," said the Commander as he watched Kat shake her head and lower it down.
"I know how much you love your son," said Kat, "and.. and I still respect him as an officer and a person. I believe he has his soul restored to him… but I… I'm just scared that the demon part of him will.. will taint my immortal soul. You.. you said that it was my decision and… and I'm sorry."
"He will understand," said the Commander, "just as I understand. It… it's just that your reasoning is something I hadn't considered."
"I will fly alongside him into battle, sir," said Kat looking back up into his eyes, "you can count on me to back him up when we go up against the Cylons and Cain's forces. You can count on me to watch his back no matter what. But… but connecting my soul to his… I can't do that."
"I told that this is a decision you will have to make on your own, and that I won't hold it against you if you decide not to anchor his soul," said the Commander gently as he placed a hand on her shoulder while his heart ached, "and I meant what I said."
"I'm sorry, sir," said Kat.
"Are you finished with your duties for the day?" asked the Commander as Kat nodded her head.
"Then in that case, relax and enjoy however long you can before your next shift" continued the Commander, "I want all my pilots ready for the coming battle. In the meantime, while Starbuck's in the brig, and Apollo's secured here on the planet… I want you to continue being the acting CAG."
"Yes, sir," said Kat with a smile on her face. She had been acting CAG ever since Starbuck was put in the brig for Baltar's murder and Apollo's transformation. She was afraid that if she declined being an anchor, then she would lose her position as acting CAG. "I.. I can ask around after I return to the Galactica if there's anyone who wants to…"
"Thank you," said the Commander, "but it's my responsibility to ask. I'll have some feelers out, but for right now, I want you to enjoy your leave."
Kat nodded her head before the Commander turned around and walked away into the crowd, and towards the Stargate. The young woman then frowned before sighing, and walking away by herself to get some food before meeting a few of the Raptor pilots who were also on shore leave.
Gaia, at that same time.
It was the Cylons; Caprica Six, Natalie, Leoben, Simon, D'Anna, and Sharon who were followed by Dr. Gardner the first ones to arrive on the Nox homeworld of Gaia. The six humanoid Cylons were stunned as they met Antaneus and Lya, the two representatives of the Nox who would be mediating this meeting between two great enemies, and the Final Five. The six of them stood in stunned silence as they stared at the Nox who welcomed them just as the Stargate deactivated, and then a few seconds later it started to dial in.
Dr. Gardner was introduced to the Nox by General O'Neill just as the Stargate activated. Once the wormhole was former, the event horizon rippled as Triana walked through with Colonel Tigh, and the others. Ellen and the other were stunned at the appearance of the Nox, the very same Nox who had once known the creators of their ancestors. The Nox introduced themselves to the newcomers while Ellen took a few steps towards the Cylons with a smile on her face. She looked at Caprica Six and then gently placed a hand on her cheek as a mother would a daughter.
"What is your name?" asked Ellen as she saw the pain in the woman's eyes.
"Six… Caprica Six," was the reply as Natalie took a step while staring at Ellen in surprise. She was told that the Final Five had retrieved their memories; it was the reason for this meet… an opportunity to meet their creators. She had so many questions swimming in her mind, but for right now… only one word slipped out of her lips.
"Mo… ther. Do we call you… I mean…"
"Hello, my daughter," said Ellen as she placed a hand on Natalie's cheek. The Humanoid Cylon closed her eyes while General O'Neill, flanked by Faith and Colonel Carter, and the Nox, looked on quietly. The Chief and Tori were the first to approach Boomer… the former Colonial pilot was at first stunned to learn that the Chief was one of her creators.. and now seeing him again brought about mixed feelings within her. It was Tori who reached out for, and held her hand, before saying that they had a lot to talk about. While Boomer listened to Tori and the Chief, and while the others were laughing and hugging each other, Willow and the others in SG-1 were standing next to a table that the Nox created by interweaving the grass on the ground at their feet.
"I wonder what they're thinking," said Vala as she looked at Ander and Simon looking at each other before the dark-skinned man reached out a hand towards his creator. The humanoid Cylon looked down at the hand being offered to him, and then reached out and shook it. Willow and the others watched as Simon lowered his head and shook it as his shoulders trembled. "Maybe he's upset at disappointing his creators?"
"Could be," Willow replied as the Nox and the General asked everyone to the table just as the Stargate started to dial in. Once the second chevron was locked- Willow, Vala, Colonel Mitchell, and Teal'c walked towards the Stargate. They went past the Cylons and Furlings, just as they were ordered to before they left the SGC. General Landry didn't want the Cylons near the Stargate when the Colonials stepped through since he believed that Commander and the others would be on edge seeing the Cylons so close to them. He wanted some space between them initially before they had to sit alongside one another during the briefing.
Willow, Vala, Teal'c, and Colonel Mitchell stood next to Lya as the Stargate activated, and the event horizon then rippled just before Dr Burke walked down the stairs with a surprised Commander Adama, Billy, Roslin, and three members of the Quorum behind them.
"Dr. Winnie Burke," said Colonel Mitchell as he stepped forward while placing a hand on Lya's back, "I'd like for you to meet Lya of the Nox."
"It's truly an honour," said Dr. Burke as she shook the woman's hand. Dr. Burke had heard of the Nox, she read the report of the first meeting between SG1 and this particular ancient race who were part of the famed Great Alliance. And now, to meet one of them in person was truly amazing for her.
Lya nodded her head at Dr. Burke before she looked up at the stunned faces of the Commander and the other Colonials.
"By the gods," said the surprised Billy, the translator on Dr. Burke's lapel making it so that everyone understood each other. Billy, Commander Adama, the President, and the three members of the quorum stared at the deceptively young woman in front of them before glancing at each other, and then back at Lya. They could see that she was humanoid, but still looked alien by virtue of seemingly having plants growing out of her hair and parts of her skin were covered with bark. It was one of the quorum members who thought to herself how it was that such a supposedly advanced people still wore what looked like rags.
It was Dr. Burke who then introduced Roslin to Lya, followed by Commander Adama, and then Billy, and lastly the rest of their guests. Lya nodded her head before asking them to follow her. Willow and the others accompanied Lya around the Stargate's pedestal to an open area where there was a table of the interwoven grass under a clear sunlit sky. Standing around the table were the rest of SG-1, the Cylon council, and the Final Five.
"Commander, Madam President," said the Colonel as he stood straight after seeing the Colonials walking towards them.
"At ease, Saul," said the Commander.
Colonel Tigh nodded his head before Ellen walked towards him, and said that they finally managed to unlock their memories. Their original memories of who they once were. She then turned to Triana who was standing next to the Chief, and then turned back to the Commander and said that everything Triana had told them was the truth.
"But perhaps it would be best to have a seat before we begin this meet," said the Nox who Lya introduced at her husband, Anteaus.
"Forgive me," said one of the Quorum members as he stared at the Cylons, and then back at Lya and Anteaus who were staring back at him. He glanced at the weapons that the Earthers were carrying, and then at General O'Neill, and back to the Nox again before saying, "but the Cylons are dangerous. They may have weapons and…"
"This is a place of peace," said Anteaus gently, "the Cylons have agreed not to bring weapons, just as your people have agreed not to bring weapons. This agreement was reached in good faith between your peoples. And it was agreed that the Tau'ri, the humans of Earth, would be the only ones with arms during the meeting."
"But how can you be one of the oldest and more powerful if you…."
"Virgus," barked the President as she turned to the Quorum member from Leonis.
"Believe me when I say that these guys can look after themselves," said General O'Neill before motioning towards the table. "Come on, take a load off. The Nox actually grew this table from the ground beneath our feet."
"Amazing," said Roslin as she brushed her fingers over the smooth but flexible surface. After a few minutes, the group took their seats as the Final Five began their explanation of who they once were, and how they came to be in their current situation. It was Colonel Tigh who started with their history, and the history of their ancestors who landed on the world they believed was Earth. Then the Chief talked to them about how they had advanced as a society, especially after having achieved sexual reproduction. He continued to explain how they created Centurions to be their workforce and their soldiers.
Natalie and the other Cylons glanced at each other as the Chief, and then Tori spoke about the first uprising which was harshly put down by the military. They then glanced at the look of horror on the faces of the Colonials when Tori told them about the purge by the military of sentient Centurions in all walks of their lives. She said that some of their people felt it was unethical to destroy the Centurions since, by gaining sentience, they had become essentially just like their original ancestors on Kobol.
"The Centurions were now alive, and wanting to be free," said Tori, "but we couldn't let them be."
"What happened before, happened again," whispered the surprised Roslin at how similar the history of the Furlings in front of them, and their own history, seemed to be. At that time, Natalie added that what the Colonials did to the Colonial Centurions, enslaving them even after acknowledging that they had gained sentience, were no different than what the Furlings did to their own sentient creations. It was Anders who turned to Natalie and said they had made a mistake. Much to the surprise of the Colonials and the Cylons.
"Some only pretended to purge the sentience out of the Centurions," said Ellen softly as she placed her arms on the grass top, "but that was the final straw. We didn't know if the Centurions would rebel again, so as a back-up… Triana's father recommended our scientific expertise to the president in reforming the old Resurrection Program." Colonel Tigh saw the glint of hope in the eyes of the Cylons upon mentioning Resurrection technology; however, the Five had come to an agreement just before leaving the Beta Site not to share that technology since the Cylons would easily fall back on it, instead of pushing themselves to evolve on their own.
"The memories that involve the details of Resurrection Technology still hasn't come back," said a gruff Tigh who glared at Leoben, Simon, Natalie, and the others. "And that is a good thing… a very good thing. If we give you that technology, then you won't be forced to evolve beyond your current capabilities. Our ancestors worked their asses off to the point where they were able to have babies… and so would you."
"Even if you had that technology hidden somewhere in your mind?" asked one of the quorum members, "you would not hand them the technology."
"Even if," said Anders.
"Anyway," the Chief said, "we worked day and night for years to recreate the process, and then.. finally,… Ellen was the one who made the intuitive leap and we finished it. We were about to test it on ourselves when… when the Centurions launched their second attack. This time it was a full scale nuclear war that used our own weapons against us. Billions died from both sides and… and… and we thought that the only way to prevent this from happening again was to return to Kobol. To tell our cousins that if they created artificial life, they needed to respect it and take care of them. We wanted to prevent…"
"Prevent?" asked the Commander as he looked at the Chief who looked at the weaved grass that made up the surface of the table. HE then turned to Colonel Tigh who took in a deep breath.
"We saw our world destroyed, Bill," said Colonel Tigh. The Commander was looking for any form of deception in the person who a part of himself still considered a friend. But instead of deception, all he saw was pain as he recounted the final message with Triana before they activated their engines and left orbit of their world. He said that they were able to see the mushroom clouds caused by the explosions of nuclear weapons poke mark the surface of the planet. "All we could do was watch, and hope that the other twelve tribes did not achieve our level of Artificial Intelligence technology."
"When we reached Kobol," said Ellen, "there was nothing there, but we found signs on the surface. I guess the ancient Kobolians left it there so that in the event that we ever wanted to join with them once again as one people, we could find them. We followed the trail, and it led us to the Twelve Colonies."
"By the time, we reached the Colonies, it was too late," said the Chief.
"The First Cylon War," whispered the Commander as the Final Five nodded their heads.
"We were too late, Bill," said the Colonel, "millions of people died from both sides already. Our worst nightmares came through. So, to stop the war, we approached the Centurions. Promised them humanoid bodies and resurrection technology in exchange for peace. The fighting had to stop."
"That's why the Cylons suddenly pulled out," said the Commander as he remembered his first encounter with horrors that represented the Cylons experimenting with human bodies. He remembered the stench of blood and guts as he walked through the building, and to a large tank of viscous fluid where there was a human machine hybrid lying unconscious. He remembered the hundreds of people trapped, he remembered trying to get them out when the building started to shudder. And then he was told that the war was over, that the Cylons had signed an armistice.
"Then you people were the ones responsible for all those deaths on the Colonies after the Cylons came back and…." The quorum member was silenced by Roslin, who then turned to Ellen and demanded an explanation.
"We wanted to made a home for the Centurions and the new humanoid models," said Ellen, "we wanted to be left alone, just like I'm sure the Colonies wanted to be left alone. The first model of humanoid Cylon, the one you know as Cavil? He's modelled after my father, John. Once we created the first six models, the war was over. We left the Colonial systems for a new home. We were going to be a family… the new humanoid models, the Centurions, and us. We started to build our homeworld around the ship we arrived in… we started to call it the Colony."
"Eventually we created the other models; the Number Six's were based on Triana, the Number Two's were based on her father, and the Number One's were based on Ellen's father," said Tori as she held the Chief's hand under the table. She then looked at Simon, and said that he was based on a good man who helped them when their ship needed repairs. He and his wife gave them shelter while the ship was repaired in orbit.
"There was a human version of myself?" asked Simon in amazement.
"You were married to a woman who we used as a template for the number Eights," said Tori as she glanced at the surprised look on Sharon. She and Simon looked at each other, both amazed, and then away with their eyes wide open in shock at the news.
"Then our theory could have merit," interrupted Colonel Carter as everyone looked at her, "our Lauren Satterfield is completely human as well. The woman you met could have been an ancestor of her. We have a theory that the Goa'uld may have kidnapped children of couples who had twins. It's possible they wanted to conduct some kind of experiment… I mean we can't be sure… but that's the best explanation we have."
"They were a good couple," continued Ellen nodding at the Colonel ebfore turning to Simon and Boomer.
"They had a friend who helped us… a woman we used as D'Anna's template," said Colonel Tigh as D'Anna sat amazed at the revelations. "Then there's of course the Doral models… that insidious snake. We hoped he wouldn't be like the person we modelled him after… but, that's what he turned out to be. A snake."
"Not as big of a snake as John," said Anders.
"Cavil, you mean?" asked Natalie who was simply amazed at what she was hearing… even occasionally looking at the living person who was her template before glancing back at Anders, "what did he do? I'm guessing he's the one who removed our memories of you Five and…"
"He killed us," Ellen said, "we were in an airlock, and he sucked out the air and killed us. We resurrected, but we didn't wake up. Our memories were blocked, and I guess we were scattered thought the Colonies."
"That murdering filth," said D'Anna, "he killed our parents. That…"
"And now your kind killed your parents in return," said the President bluntly as she looked at Natalie and the other Cylons, "you killed the people on the Colonies for.."
"What has happened cannot be reversed," said Lya gently as she looked at the President who looked away, closed her eyes, and sighed before looking up again at Lya. "The dead cannot be brought back to life." Lya then turned to the Cylons and said that the lives lost cannot be forgotten.
"There will be bad blood on both sides," said Anteaus, "your peoples are still young and have much to learn about each other. But we have seen great enemies become allies with the passage of time."
"I doubt that would happen between us," said one of the Quorum members.
"The Council has been in discussions about this," said Natalie as she looked at Ellen, and then at President Roslin, "when the First War was ended… all we did was sign an armistice. On behalf of the Cylons, I am authorised to offer our unconditional surrender as the first step towards peace."
"Excuse me?" asked the Commander as the Final Five looked at the Cylons, especially at the serious look on Natalie's face.
"If we are to move on eventually," said Natalie softly, "then this is the first step. We lost the war. Our people has been decimated by the Ori, and we've broken up into two factions. What happened to us is a punishment by God… at least that is my belief. It's also our belief that we admit to what we've done, and we slowly move towards a future where we can fit into the galaxy at large. Which is why I am laying down our arms in our war. We surrender."
"Will you sign a treaty making it so?" asked Lya calmly while searching for deception coming for Nataly's body language and finding none.
"Yes," said Natalie before turning to Ellen and the other Final Five, "and we would like to know more about our ancestors. We want to know where we come from, and why we're here. All we know are the lies that Cavil has told us, and… and we have so many questions."
"We'll tell you everything you want to know about our people," said Tori while the Colonel leaned forward.
"I don't like it, Bill," said Colonel Tigh as the Commander looked at the man, "but if they are willing to surrender unconditionally. Then... then I guess we could each focus on our bigger enemies out there."
"Cain." The Commander said.
"And Cavil's Colony," said Natalie before looking at the President, "Madam President?"
"Any surrender will come attached with the condition that the Number Six who helped Baltar surrender to us as well," said one of the three Quorum members, "that is the only way I see the Quorum having even a chance of accepting this surrender."
"Then I surrender to your justice," said Caprica Six as Natalie closed her eyes and shook her head. She wanted Caprica to come along because not only was she a member of the Council, she was also suicidal. Natalie wanted to keep an eye on her in case she tried to kill herself again while they were away. She realized she made a grave mistake.. she should have known that her offer to surrender would result in the Colonials demanding a price from the Cylons.
"Caprica's a delegate of the Council," said Natalie as she looked at Roslin, "just as all of us here are delegates of our respective peoples. And thus she has diplomatic…"
"Don't you dare say she has diplomatic immunity," said another Quorum member while Roslin sighed.
"What will happen to her if she is found guilty?" asked Anteaus.
"She's already admitted what she did," said Billy softly as she remembered his dead parents and sister, "our laws? It allows for the death penalty. She's a mass murderer."
"The Nox respect life," said Lya, "and we respect your laws. However, as much as possible, we prefer not to have a living being die for their crimes."
"She's not alive," said a quorum member.
"She is," said the Chief as Roslin and the others looked back at him, "we gave the Humanoid models emotions. And.. yes, we programmed those emotions, but their A.I… our A.I… allows us to evolve beyond what we were originally programmed to do."
"You're still machines, chief," said the Commander, "you know I'm right."
"I know it's true, sir," said the Chief, "but I still can feel. I'm sure that Caprica feels intense guilt. I know I would if it were me… if I did what she did. Commander do you remember how angry I was the day the Cylons attacked? Do you remembered how angry I was when Colonel Tigh gave the order to vent the flight pods? Was I angry then? Or was I pretending?"
"You were angry," the Commander admitted remembering that fateful day when over eight people in the damage control teams died.
"And do you still think Colonel Tigh did the right thing that day?" asked the Chief.
"Yes," said the Commander without hesitation.
"If I may," said Lya after whispering with Anteaus, "President Roslin, would it make any difference if this woman was tried for her alleged crimes?"
"It would bring closure to our people," said Roslin.
"And I will confess to what I did," said Caprica Six while Natalie gently squeezed her hand, "if I get the death penalty, then so be it. I'll be with Baltar in the next life."
"The next life," scoffed one of the Quorum members.
"It's decided then," said the Quorum member seated next to him, "she comes back with us as our prisoner, and we can then… with the Nox… write up a document of surrender. Is that agreed?"
"No" said Natalie.
"Yes," said Caprica at the same time.
"How about exile?" asked General O'Neill as he looked at Caprica, and then at Roslin, "we can find her a place with one of our allies. In the meantime, she can stay in the Beta site with the Final Five and the others Cylons."
"Madam President," said the third Quorum member, "the people want to…."
"Cylons and humans have killed and hated each other for too long," whispered Roslin shaking her head, "the cycle needs to end."
"Madam President?" asked Billy.
"I will accept your surrender, as long as Caprica does not stay with her people on either Eden, or the Beta Site," said Roslin, "I know I saw her with Baltar. And that's not going to change. That's my condition. Exile for her, and in exchange we accept your surrender."
"Then you have it," said Natalie who was relieved that one of her sisters was nt going to die.
"Then, shall we discuss their surrender?" asked Ellen.
"Before we do," said General O'Neill as everyone looked at him, who in turned stared at Ellen, "you said that the ship you traveled in becomae the new homeworld for the Cylons. It became the Colony?"
"Yes," said Ellen nodding her head.
"Well," said General O'Neill who then turned to Colonel Mitchell and nodded his head.
"The Colony's being attacking a few allied worlds," said Colonel Mitchell, "and we need a way to track them down."
"We'll help," said Tori nodding her head, "we'll help."
