Byrd tried not to look as in awe as she felt looking around the green valley they walked through, taking it all in. Priamfaya missed the entire valley, leaving it as green as the day she was locked away inside the bunker. Her face was quick to morph into a glare as they entered the camp, men and women everywhere; hardly flinching when gunshots sounded with crazed laughter.
'Like each of us, somehow this valley survived. It's the last sanctuary on earth, and we are its keepers,' Diyoza spoke up ahead; 'To build a life here, we all have responsibilities. You will, too.'
'All of us left Polis for a better way, and all of us must do our part to get it,' Kane added.
'I'll be sitting down with each of you to learn your stories, to hear what skills you can bring to the community, how you can he helpful, and to see if you can be trusted,' The woman stopped at the stairs of a building; 'Until you've been cleared, your pulse collars have been geotagged to this building... Welcome home.'
She pushed the doors open and motioned for them to enter, which Byrd did reluctantly. Her eyes roamed the interior of the building for Murphy, but came up with nothing; causing her to scowl as worry filled her stomach.

Byrd picked at the food on her plate as she studied the people around her, slipping a butter knife up her sleeve. She stood when she saw Echo sit down across from Raven, the pair talking. She walked to the water table and grabbed herself a glass, leaning against the back of the lounge.
'They're watching us,' She peeked over her shoulder.
'Byrd?' Raven queried.
She smirked as Echo spoke up, 'There's something I need you to see. Let's go get some water.'
The pair stood one by one and moved to the water table, leaving Byrd to sip at her glass as she listened in.
'Monty said I need to insert it into any console connected to the transport ship's primary server,' Echo informed the girl.
'It's essentially a keylogger, auto-installs and opens a back door to their surveillance system that only Monty can see,' Raven nodded in approval; 'It's brilliant. Too bad we can't get to the bridge without our heads exploding.'
'What about Kane? Maybe he-'
'You saw him. He's with Diyoza.'
Byrd shoved her way between the pair of them, not looking their way as she filled her glass again.
'I don't know what happened to him in that bunker, but he's different,' Raven continued.
'You haven't seen them, Raven. They're all different,' Echo sighed.
