*Meanwhile, Terra Nova. Sara is exploring one of the stadiums when she hears a whisper behind her.*
Whisper: Sara...
*Sara turns her head to see an open door leading into an empty skimmer bay. She follows the whisper inside and the door closes behind her. Her skin begins to glow blue with twilight energy.*
Sara: We're sisters, Zoe. I can feel you.
*There's silence. After a moment, Sara takes out her comm link, before Zoe sneaks up from behind a pillar and puts her in a violent chokehold, Sara grunting as she tries to get free.*
Zoe *resentful*: Oh, you think you're so smart because you know how to sense me? Then how come you didn't see this coming, targ?
*Sara bites Zoe's arm, breaking free as Zoe grunts in pain, backing away and facing her in a defensive posture.
Zoe's arm isn't bleeding, but she lets out a snarl as her own twilight powers charge up in red.*
Sara: Zoe, calm down! Let me help you!
Zoe *hate*: Help?! B****, I'm going to tear you apart!
*Zoe lunges at Sara, nailing her with a twilight-charged right hook, knocking Sara to her knees. Sara intercepts the next strike with her right elbow before blasting Zoe back with a twilight burst near the abdomen. As Zoe skids to a halt on all fours, she glares at Sara before firing her own twilight blast, with Sara blocks with a shield before sending her own off with a spin kick, which Zoe blocks before forming a twilight blade around her wrist. Sara defensively forms her own.*
Sara: Zoe... Don't...
*Completely a slave to her rage, Zoe charges her, Sara ducking beneath a swipe of her blade before grabbing the belt of Zoe's trousers and collar of her shirt from behind and throwing her into a wall, throwing a straight kick before dodging a jab from Zoe's blade, blocking a follow-up swipe with her forearm and pushing her back against the wall, both of them growling as they push against each other.*
Zoe, I'm not playing anymore! KNOCK IT OFF!
*Zoe roars out, wrestling away from the wall and shoving Sara against it, their blade arms still locked against one another. As Zoe starts to push her blade closing to Sara's face, singing her hair, Sara starts angling the lock to balance the scales, both of them grunting with all the strength they have. Finally, Sara forces Zoe to break the stalemate, with both of them pushing each other's arms away, their blades glancing each other's cheeks, eliciting a cry of pain from both of them as they leave an angled, fine burn on each of their right cheeks, glowing red for Sara and Blue for Zoe. As the two slowly recover from the sharp burst of pain, they lock eyes, stunned, before Zoe turns and runs. Sara darts after her, lunging as Zoe ports out.*
ZOE!
*Zoe finishes porting out before Sara can catch her, hitting the floor with a thud, rolling over hard before finishing on her back, whimpering in pain.*
*The retreating Rakata keep firing on them. THey eventually back up to a large coliseum like area probably used for making the creatures and prisoners fight.*
C.Rommel: your just going to have to. I have names locations everything. And I'll tell you on one condition.
Osman looks at rotek raising an eyebrow.
Osman: whats that.
C.Rommel: i get to take out the head of all of it.
Osman: very well. I'll get it cleared and call back a few agents to make up a team. But I also have a condition. You follow our lead and this it's off the books.
C.Rommel: you got a deal.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

2 hours later, Tara A is looking Sara over in a hotel room, scanning the scar left behind on Sara's cheek.*
Tara A: The blade left behind a trace of twilight energy. It's not dissipating and it's blocking the dermal regenerator.
Sara: Can't you purge it?
Tara A: If it were anyone else's twilight energy, yes. You and Zoe are twins. Your body is treating her energy as if it were your own. It's why you can sense each other.
Sara: So why can't I purge it?
Tara A: Because it's not your energy. It's similar enough that your body will sustain it, but different enough that it can't control it. If your energy was identical, you'd be able to manipulate each other's powers.
Sara: Twilight dampener?
Tara A: It suppresses your ability to manipulate and coalesce background twilight energy and draw on your own, it doesn't disperse or remove your innate twilight energy.
There's only one person who's getting rid of that scar...
*Sara frowns, her powers starting to charge inadvertently as she thinks about Zoe, the scar letting off a red glow before Tara A snaps her out of it.*
Okay, that's new.
Sara: What?
Tara A: Firstly, Veil Energy just doesn't activate based on rage - not how I've trained you. Secondly, the scar should have glowed based on where you were drawing the energy from. It should have been white or blue - it was red.
Sara: So?
Tara A: So, either your scar was reacting to your anger and drawing Zoe's energy from the Forge, activating your powers as a result, or the cut has imparted some of her energy into you.
Sara: But I don't know how to draw on the Forge.
Tara A: Yeah, that's why I don't teach you about the Forge. It's not like the Veil or the ambient twilight force where you access it on need; you only access the Forge once. It's inherently unstable - once you're linked to it, you always feel it. Just a stray feeling of anger can trigger it. From what I've read, the Forge even encourages feelings of rage.
Sara: Can you sever that link?
Tara A: Normally, but it's not your link to sever. It's Zoe's energy creating the link between you and the Forge.
Hence why you just got enraged at the thought of Zoe. It was the link she's created between you and the Forge. She has to sever it by draining her energy from you.
Sara: But she'll have the same reaction from my energy in her scar?
Tara A: Probably, but the Veil doesn't have such a pronounced emotional effect and the Veil isn't a constant link unless you're a Guardian. Worst case scenario, she constantly senses you like you're constantly sensing her. This is very much a one-sided transplant.
The good news is that your link to the Forge is second-hand. It's based on Zoe's link. You only activate it when Zoe draws on that energy or when you think of Zoe, and you can't draw your own Forge energy based on it.
Other than that, I have no idea what this means for you.
