Dinner at the Tauruses' House
Malachi: That was an amazing dinner, Pleione. I'm stuffed.
Ravenna: Yeah, if I eat any more, I'll explode.
Pleione: I'm so glad you enjoyed my cooking.
Pleione: It's not often that I get a chance to come home and actually have guests, too.
Eris: Our daughter has many talents!
Eris: Your father and I have some business to do in town, so we'll be back later.
Pleione: Okay, Mom, be careful!
Eris: Certainly. Don't stay up too late. You'll want to see your friends off in the morning, right?
Malachi: Actually, Pleione, how long will you be here on Goliath?
Pleione: I'm sort of on vacation for one week.
Pleione: Well... sort of. They want me to keep an eye on things remotely and then return to Pandora in a few days.
Saja: I see. Since you've been promoted, you're technically always on duty, just like we are.
Pleione: I don't mind. This is what I want.
Ravenna: We never really know when Zetsfir is going to strike again, do we?
Pleione: Even though we have all of this new information, we don't know when or where, sadly.
Saja: For that reason, there is never a time when we can let our guard down.
Ravenna: With the V-CORE, we can finally force them out of the shadows, huh?
Malachi: That's right, as long as everything works out as anticipated.
Saja: Let's return to the ShockShadow II. Dr. Maxwell and Karen had to check on Virulyde again.
Pleione: They left so suddenly. I was afraid my cooking didn't agree with them.
Pleione: I thought maybe they had a case of the...
Saja: No, Pleione, they just get really absorbed in their work.
Pleione: That's a relief!
Malachi: In more ways than one! The facilities on the ShockShadow II aren't exactly well-ventilated...
Pleione: Malachi, you're too funny.
