"......." Leo was silent and then sighed.

"There... there was a trophy. A small trophy. One that had been imbued with mana to shine and sparkle eternally, it seems." he told them.

"It clung to it, basically feeding minimally. And... well, after the escape pod disengaged from the main ship, stasis occurred... and... well... yeah..." he mumbled further.

"So can we kill it?" Ty asked.

"We can. But we'd need to essentially recreate a low to no atmosphere environment... or something akin to that." was all Leo could respond with.

"........" Vincent was silent for a moment as his sister asked her question.

"No." he replied.

"Cassandra has it." he said.

"...why?" he then asked.

"Why do you need it? Its ability won't help you, will it?" he asked further.

There was an underlying concern and confusion to his tone, and Hollie could hear it clearly.

"........." both Leo and Tyson were silent for a moment, looking at each other, before Leo looked back at Hollie.

"Ah..." he stammered.

"Not... not TOO long..." he said.

"And what does THAT mean?" Tyson asked.

"They should start dying around and 20-minute mark." Leo said. "35 minutes at most, I would say." he said further.

"That's still kind of long for NO atmosphere..." Tyson muttered.

"......a good runner?" Ty muttered.

"Uh... well, most of the fastest people here are sick..." he said.

"I don't think ANYONE in this building would be fast..." he went on, before snapping his fingers.

"Wait! Gemini!" he realised.

"She's pretty damn quick." he said.

"Why?" he asked.

"....I'll do it." Tyson replied.

"Right." Leo mumbled.

"I'm going to go back to Violet and Emerald." he told them.

Ty was the first to excuse himself, and left... leaving Leo looking rather concerned.

"....something tells me you're going to do something VERY drastic..." he mumbled to Hollie.

".......but I trust you." he told her.

"I hope this works out optimally for us all."

"....I'm starting to feel it." Leo admitted.

"I... admittedly, as an Order member, I AM above most things, but this is... different." he told her.

"I realise that drastic times call for drastic measures." he then said further.

He was then silent for another moment, and sighed.

"...I'll go tell your crew about this." he told her.

"...may this work out as you intend it." he finished, before excusing himself and leaving her alone.

Vito was silent as he heard what Hollie said to him.

He knew that when his real name was used, things were bad. And it was serious.

"....right." he said.

"Yes, Ma'am." he then said further.

"What... what is it?" he asked her, a bit of hesitation to his voice, and she could probably guess why.

He was bracing himself for whatever it was she was about to ask him to do.

"....the....the Ember Charm?" Vito stammered.

"I... yes, I can... I can get that." he told her. "I might face a LITTLE opposition, but I do believe I can get it without you needing to be called." he said.

He then paused for a moment, hesitating on something.

"...may I ask WHY you require it?" he asked.

"On its own, it does... very little. And it shouldn't do anything to help the current situation you're in with the Unit." he reasoned further.

"So why do you need or want it?"

"........" Vito was silent again, practically stunned.

"Forgive me for speaking out of proper respect right now, but you are scaring me now, Hollie." he said candidly.

"....wait..." he then muttered.

"Wait... surely you can't mean to..." he went on, before stopping once more.

"You do, don't you?" he asked rhetorically.

"I can tell by the tone of your voice." he said with a VERY heavy sigh.

"...yes, Ma'am." Vito replied, resignation in his tone.

"I will call you immediately when I have it." he told her.

With that, they ended the call, and she heard Vito hang up.

It wasn't hard for her to tell that this was weighing heavily on him, and he would rather not be doing what she had told him to do, with the info that he had.

But he knew he had to do it. He trusted her implicitly and completely.
