Tora Ziyal. She succeeds, Lorren rolling off and getting to her feet, grunting in frustration.*
Lorren *angry*: Come on, b****!

Holland: I have to ask doctor how did you know the specimen wasn’t actually dead.
Halsey: I realized it once I saw the change in its cellular structure to resist the thaloron radiation. Had it been dead there is no way it would have been able to make the proper changes.
Holland: well I’m glad you found out when you did. That could have been much worse.
Halsey: agreed. I’m going to keep working on ways to destroy it and with any luck we will find a way to resist the infection itself as well. But I wouldn’t expect any miracles right now.
Holland: I’ll keep my miracle expectation low doctor.
He lets out a chuckle as they arrive at the mess hall. He grabs a plate that has a sandwich and some fruit on it as Halsey just grabs a coffee and a pastry.

Halsey: great just what I wanted on my to do list.

Having spent most the day in talks Lang and Kovan has made their way to an opera like show to try and relax some before finally heading back to the presidential estate. ( think similar to the show we got a glimpse of in revenge of the sith type scene)
Lang sets her drink down as she lets out a long sigh sitting back into her seat.
Kovan: so do you want to talk about it?
Lang: no not really but I know I need to.
Kovan: the sooner you let it out the easier it will be for both of us.
He gives her a smile as she shoots him a look.
Lang: this whole situation is just overwhelming. To think in all honesty that this could literally wipe out life as we know it in the galaxy.
Kovan: that isn’t the hardest thing though is it.
Lang: no the hardest thing right now is knowing at this moment there isn’t much of a damn thing we can do to stop it. For all we know an entire world could be being consumed right now and what am I doing? I’m sitting here trying to relax cause I got stressed out after a day of negotiations.
Kovan: you can’t save the entire galaxy not control it. You can only do what you can to help protect those that you can. To do that you need a calm clear head. There is nothing to be ashamed of about taking a break.
Lang: maybe not. It sure feels like there is though.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Susan: Thank you... *she smiles softly* Though it didn't feel like i was in control.
Daya: Hey... I've got a present for you. Call it a victory prize.
Susan: What is it? *she looks very curious, starting to cheer up*
*Daya starts dragging her towards the bedroom.*
Daya: Let me show you.
*The next morning, Karen leads Serah onto the holodeck for one of her 'blow-off steam' sessions. It may be apparent to Serah that Karen hasn't programmed in the usual hologram. Karen's come to the holodeck in her workout gear, ostensibly to train while Serah was beating on the training hologram, but again there's no apparent change to the program to allow for that.*
