E.E scratched his cheek.
"And then the whole station goes into full lockdown."
Falco slumped.
"This is gonna be a pain."
Angy paced slowly.
"Not necessarily. If we can get in quietly, we only need to reach her."
Aildris nodded.
"True. But someone needs to stay behind."
All eyes turned toward the trapped 42nd commander and the room around them.
Falco groaned louder.
"Right… this place."
Aildris dismissed the hologram.
"This station must remain functional. If anyone realizes the commander is missing, a system-wide alarm will be triggered—and not just the 16th commander, but every Gustavo alliance official will definitely be notified."
E.E sighed.
"Meaning one of us stays here to pretend everything is normal."
Falco looked between the others.
"Rock-paper-scissors?"
Angy didn't laugh.
E.E took a step toward the prism.
"I'll stay."
Aildris's brows rose.
"No."
E.E frowned.
