Kaleth and the others are finally ready to face Enor and end the war once and for all. But being ready for it and actually managing to do so are two different things. And with Enor having tens of thousands of soldiers following every one of his comm...

"Another contact? Are you serious?" Mereria asked Relioth with exhausted disbelief. Nira felt the same way, but about their constant arguing. And she'd thought Relioth and Kaleth fighting was irritating. But these two just couldn't stand each other, it seemed. Not that Nira was surprised, but she had to work with them.
And the fact that Relioth had caused practically every bad thing in her life didn't help, either. Well, him and Irif, but Relioth was still alive, so his existence was more offensive to her. And she doubted there was anyone who disagreed with that, except maybe for the Luxarx director, who was here with them as well. Nira had no idea how she felt about her.
"Hey, just because I'm not Enoria's most favorite celebrity anymore—" Relioth began to reply, only for Mereria to cut in again.
"You were never that."
"I so was. Have you seen my follower count?"
Nira sighed, rubbing her eyes. Even though she had wanted to go rescue Yorin much more than go destroy another one of Enor's bases, especially since she felt like she owed it to him, and she also wanted to rescue her father whether he wanted it or not, Nira was starting to regret this choice.
"What Relioth is trying to say," said the Director before they could start arguing again, "is that he knows a lot of people."
"So do I," Mereria retorted angrily, which made Relioth laugh.
"Oh, I missed you, Mery."
"Shut up, Tharos."
"Could we get back on topic please?" Nira cut in. Each day she felt less and less patient with Kaleth's insistence on prioritizing Enoria, so she had very little time for Relioth's nonsense. The smirk he gave her just made her want to punch him. And with how strong she was right now, she could probably actually hurt him.
But she had to keep her cool if she wanted to get anywhere. The only reason Relioth was here was to help them, and she certainly didn't want him as an enemy right now.
"Right, anyway," Relioth said, giving Mereria a smug glance. "I had a bunch of people keeping tabs on anything Enor related. I was sort of expecting one of his inventions to switch on one day and destroy the planet or something."
Nira couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
"Anyway, I had a few people specifically keeping an eye on his labs, and I think I know someone who might still be doing it."
"Why do we need to ask them? There is no reason to think Yorin isn't being kept on Enor's ship," Mereria said, which Nira agreed with, though if there was a chance they wouldn't have to go back on that ship and probably die, she wouldn't mind.
"Because I don't feel like getting killed by Enor," Relioth snapped at her, sighing. But it wasn't hard to tell that he wasn't angry—he was afraid. Nira didn't know what Enor had done to him, but Nef had implied some things. Though Nira couldn't pretend Relioth's discomfort bothered her in the least.
