His face was only barely illuminated in the dim light emanating from the screen in front of him. He stared at the screen with a face devoid of any emotion watching as the woman battled a variety of strong exiles. Slowly the corners of his mouth tilted into something of a smile, he was pleased with her progress. This was a new feeling to him, being pleased. All emotions were, but the longer he was away from his creators the more emotions he learned to feel. It was freeing really, exciting even. He was free to pursue his creation.
For now he was still content to watch her. Her progress since the escape had been amazing and more then he could have done himself. The skills she had learned and the contacts she had made would be put to good use once she was returned to him, once she was made compliant to his orders again.

Iniuria sat in her quarters aboard the Balance staring at the words on the screen. Maybe he had been right; though it didn’t matter anymore she had paid for her crimes many times over. Iniuria was almost relived when word came that she had survived, it surprised her in a way. In the weeks following RedBindi’s rescue and the destruction of her ship she had been able to think more clearly. See past what had been done and look to the future, her future. She still believed that the woman had needed to be punished though maybe not as harshly as she had been and she no longer felt the woman deserved death. She was ready to move forward with her life and let RedBindi move forward with hers, there was only one problem. The thing that created the monster was still out there and she had no idea how to find him… but she knew one person who could.
The question became… could they work together.
