Alethea continued to focus on putting some distance between themselves and the storm. Because of their current position, this also meant putting some distance between themselves and the station, at least for the time being. That couldn't be helped, though. Even if it seemed like at least a part of the station's crew was struggling because of the storm, there was no guarantee that everyone was affected, so she couldn't take the chance of getting too close right now. If she did, she wouldn't be able to focus on the man they had saved and whatever information he might be able to provide.<br/><br/>She didn't miss Thal-ion's grim smile, but she didn't return it, as she had other things to focus on. She trusted that he would be fine carrying this task out, and the determination she had seen in his eyes and that smile made it so that she wasn't worried in the slightest. In fact, she was rather confident in this entire course of action. She was confident in his ability to handle his part of it, and she was confident that they would find something of use from the man.<br/><br/>As she prepared to find somewhere for them to stop for a short time, until they could figure this out, she heard Thal-ion's voice come over the comm unit. The man was unconscious, his ship was out of commission, and there was a clue. She didn't reply right away, waiting for him to speak up again after a brief pause. The man was an office and scientist of the Galactic Alliance. "I see," she responded in her usual calm voice, seeming less bothered than she perhaps should have been. It wasn't that she wasn't bothered at all, she was. There were a few reasons why she wasn't worrying about it right now. First, from the brief look she had into the man's mind, she had sort of suspected as much. Second, there were other explanations besides the Alliance being behind it all. Whether or not those options were likely, they were still possible. Lastly, they would have definitely answers soon enough. There was no point in worrying and trying to find answers they wouldn't find when they just had to wait a little longer for those answers to reveal themselves.<br/><br/>"Alright. I'm going to find us somewhere that we can wait for him to wake up, unless you have any objections," she replied over the comm, waiting for his reply while she searched for any viable options nearby.
