    Now was not the time for small talk. Speaking her thoughts out loud was a bad habit, so all she did was simply nod once and leave it at that. To herself she mused at the possibility of talking to him about Jinzi, after this was over. Assuming they all survive that is.

    Going in blind was tantamount to accepting defeat before the battle had even been fought. Sometimes it couldn't have been helped. Every time the opportunity to prepare ahead of time presented itself, it was imperative to do so. Failure to prepare was preparing to fail, after all.

Hilda is quite the magical chemist it seems.”

    Mourn taps a button and in walks Miras Thane, who grins at them while carrying a box.

    “A gift. My people all already have them.”

    Inside the box are simple metal bracelets with a single black stone set in the middle.

    “Inhibitors. Once activated they create an electromagnetic and magical pulse that should repeal the ‘gift’. Not that I intend on my people encountering it, but still, better safe than sorry. My gift to you, though I warn they are prototypes and Hilda said the charge will only last ten minutes most likely.”

    “I do admit I’m worried about the possession spells, but our ships are generally warded and only five of us GP officers are actually going to be leaving the ships. Myself, Blizzar, Miras, Ken Bolt, and Tanaki, and all are trained to resist such things.”

    “And we don’t have a chip on our shoulder, we just want to try and do some good. At the end of the day, trying to make the universe a better place is the GP’s main goal.”
    Parsley was unfamiliar with Shimmer, but knew who Hilda was very well. Sarada spoke about the mysterious woman at length; not to mention it was her preternatural foresight that saved Sarada's life from Auroc's "gift". To this day, Parsley still couldn't figure out how she knew she would need the bead of Hozon, but she had. Perhaps she could see the future. I suppose we'll find out eventually. We're due to encounter her at some point in the near future. More than likely, that chance encounter would come when Hilda decided to track down the Nevadian bureaucrat, Held Debon.

    She took the bracelet, but didn't put it on. Instead, she took a look at the black stone in the center with Observation Focus.

    "Thank you," she murmured absently.

She knew that Inanna could absorb energy from the planet, but was unsure if that translated to energy fired at her from other people.

    Only one way to find out.

    She fired a pair of paltry blasts, then started charging more potent energy in her index finger.
    Inanna grinned, as she simply absorbed the Ki blasts into the arm she'd acquired from Marduk's corpse. "I've always found the notion of 'dirty fighting' something of coward's excuse," she then explained.... only to make a 'finger gun' at Parsley. "A fight to the death is no place for honor. It's a place for desperation, a place for ingenuity. You should know as well I as do that the alternative leaes little more than a pit in your stomach; as you relive your failure again and again.

    So in a way... we're peers. You and I." With a smirk, she pulled the trigger.

    "Bang."

    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    There is a tiny amount of Hozon within it. Not nearly as much as what Sarada had, but combined with its gadgetry should do as Mourn said.

    At this point, the Golden Knights would be nothing more than brief warm-ups for her. She wouldn't even consider it a proper use of her time and energy to bother entertaining battles with the Silver and Bronze Knights. "I assume the priestesses are adept in magic," she said, if Anula was any indication. If so, then she knew where to focus her attention.

    The Grand Maven, she surmised, was the most powerful of the priestesses. If they found her quickly, they would also find Auroc just as quickly. If he had yet to be hatched, then they could end this quickly. It would take some luck and focus, but it was more than possible.

    Beyond that, the final name staggered her briefly. "Did you say Knight Kakarot?" Kakarot was undeniably a Saiyan name. "Is this one another creation of Auroc's, like that disgrace, Jagam?"

    “A gift. My people all already have them.”

    Inside the box are simple metal bracelets with a single black stone set in the middle.

    “Inhibitors. Once activated they create an electromagnetic and magical pulse that should repeal the ‘gift’. Not that I intend on my people encountering it, but still, better safe than sorry.

    Dash took one of the bracelets but didn't put it on yet, as she did she thanked them for it.

    "Is it though? Is it really?" Inanna asked as she simply pocketed the device in favor of continuing the conversation. "You're sending what amounts to an army out to uncharted- by you- space. For the purpose of unseating a would-be God Dictator," she said with a smirk. "The actions of a Militia, not an organized peacekeeping force. To say nothing of your ultimate aim of helping." With a shrug, the woman gestured at her allies. "Half of us are no more than mercenaries. Some of us aren't even good." She chuckled, eyes passing over Sasheem before she fixes them on Mourn. "How long until the GP comes knocking on their doors. On mine?"

    It was after all, only a matter of time.

    "Hozon? Where did she manage to get that?" First the bead, now these bracelets. Unless Parsley was mistaken, she was under the impression that this energy was not easy to come by. She was also under the impression that it belonged to Nevanlinna. So, how did Hilda manage to get her hands on enough to make that bead, as well as these bracelets. Again, a mystery for another time.

    It was after all, only a matter of time.
    Mourn looks at her, eyes calculating.

    “We find our friends on the battlefield, Lady Inanna. Perhaps one day we may meet each other across blades, but today is not that day. Jinzi speaks well of you, and the GP has a treaty with Earth and Vocado to help protect one another, amongst other things. What this Auroc did, does, is wrong, and he assaulted allies while having also attacked GP targets years ago via Jagam. This might not be a peacekeeping mission today, your right, but trust me when I say Auroc has been found guilty of his crimes and we are here to make sure the criminal doesn’t escape justice.”

    He pulls out a holdpad and gestures.

    “Even got an arrest warrant. Of course, I’m pretty sure he has no intention of surrendering, so if he gets put out of his misery I won’t shed a tear. Less paperwork for me.”

    He puts the data pad away and sighs.

    “The GP are peacekeepers most of the time. We negotiate cease fires, we fight off pirates, and try to help when calamity strikes. Me, I would like to be more proactive, and in this instance, I think it’s a more desirable outcome that we are.”

    "Oh, is that so? I'll have to find her later, in that case." She... had a feeling she knew why Hilda wanted to join so badly, and it had nothing to do with the battle at hand.

    He had managed to surpass Super Saiyan?! Sarada and herself had tried and failed on several occasions, but he managed to do it. "He's surpassed Super Saiyan, a feat I myself have yet to accomplish." There was a hint of excitement in her voice, but she managed to curtail it enough to keep from making a fool of herself. "He's Jagam's progenitor, then? Despite how disappointing the progeny was, I have high hopes for the father. And equally high hopes that Auroc's control over him can be broken. He would be an invaluable asset for my sister and the Empire."
