"That's a serious accusation, Torran." Falco said.
Ace was caught off guard and jumped. "Wow, gezz, when did you get back in here?"
"I've been here long enough. Torran, you'd better just wait and see what your commander does. if he is indeed in league with that monkey, you'll catch him in his lie sooner or later."

Torran nodded. "All right, Falco. I'll wait. You're right, he probably isn't in league with Bowman. He probably wanted to test me... but then, why was Star Wolf there? I would think that Bowman has a large enough army of its own. I just don't know..."

"Perhaps we didn't explain ourselves properly the first time," Panther began, "But our purpose on Venom was to pose as double agents for Corneria. As mercenaries, we have the ability to do...shall I say...'dirty work', something his troops would never be able to get away with. So ta da, Bowman hires us, knowing well that the original Star Wolf worked for Andross."
"But!", Ember cuts in, "We're the good guys now, so instead of giving Dash inside information about Corneria, we're actually giving Corneria the inside info on Venom's activities. Dash somewhat trusts us since we have a reputation for siding for the highest bidder who always seems to be whoever is attempting to take control of the Lylat. But not this time!" Ember said, crossing her arms and looking all proud of herself.

Torran looked thoughtful. "It does make sense, actually. And it also explains why you went after us when you caught us spying on you. If you just let us go, Bowman would question your judgment and possibly figure out what you were up to, right?"
Torran put his paws behind his head. "So you never would have actually killed one of us? What would you have done to make it look that way to Bowman? Also, you two, you wouldn't have happened to see a certain bear by the name of Ursine Etir there, would you? He's my commander. He's a commander of the Cornerian military, you see, and he was the one who sent me to go to Venom to gather information about Bowman in the first place. He originally wanted me to take five Cornerian fighters along with me, but when I mentioned I was going with Star Fox... well, it was just fortuitous that we happened to have the same goal."
But then he has a thought. "But maybe my commander wanted it to be that way... Panther, Ember, did you ever see him?"
(OOC: Also, Ace? Hilarious signature. XD)

OOC: Thanks, I thought it was about time for a change X3
"Humph." Ace grunted and folded his arms, giving Ember a sideways glare. "I wouldn't put, "actually killing 'one' of us" past her."
"I'll settle our score one day soon Goldwolf, don't you worry about that!" Ember said, waving a wrench at him.
"Hmm, a bear you say?" Panther said, with interest in his voice. He took a small sniff of his red rose and answered Torran, "There was a brief moment when I witnessed a bear standing behind Dash Bowman as he spoke to one of his army squadron commanders. I cannot confirm a name however..."

Torran scanned some files in his PDA (because everyone should have one XD) and nodded, coming up with a picture of Etir's face. "He wouldn't have happened to look like this, would he?" This would be all or nothing for Torran - if Panther could confirm that it was indeed Etir, Torran would have no choice but to notify General Peppy... if Marcus would let him, that is. And Panther could also be lying. Torran still hadn't considered that option.

"There were no other bears with him, so yes, I believe that is he." Panther said, with indifference.
"Your commander...is a traitor?" Ace dared to say.

Torran gazed at the picture with a sinking feeling. "If Panther confirmed it... then I guess he is. I've been working for the wrong side... this whole time?"
He let out a low growl of anger. "That bastard... he'll get his due. In the meantime, what am I supposed to do? I can't exactly just make a call to General Peppy and warn him, now can I?"
He suddenly came to an understanding. "It was going to be a trap. He would have lured me there with the Cornerian fighters, and he would have ambushed and shot them down. They would have captured me and forced me to work for Bowman... what else?"
"Ace... what am I supposed to do?"

"In that case he knew we were coming too, and told Bowman. We could still use this to our advantage! Your commander doesn't know you discovered his lie yet. We can get the upper hand by lying to him about where we're going to be." Ace said to Torran.
"Yeah, but that bear, Etir, is infuriated with him right now." Falco brought up. "First he has to patch up their relationship. Are you willing to do that Torran? So we can use that traitor Etir to our advantage?"

Shiori returned from wandering around the Great Fox, overhearing the last chunk of the others' conversation. "Well look who decided to join the party" Panther greeted. "haha. very funny. so this Etir...Torran, while you're re-establishing your connections with the commander, what do we need to know about this bear? What kind of ship does he pilot? Specialties? Weaknesses?"

Torran thought. "Honestly, I don't know any of those things, Shiori. I don't think he's a pilot or a tank commander. I really don't know much about him. Sorry, guys... however, I will do whatever it takes to bring him to justice. Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it."

"Sounds like he never wanted you to know much about him from the start." Falco said. "I know we should inform General Peppy about this, but knowing him, he might want to just start preparing for war which will alert Venom to move in quicker. I believe it's time for me to go talk to Marcus about all of this." Falco said and then left the room.
"I guess it's up to those two to come to a conclusion about whether or not to tell the General." Trevor said.
A ping was heard over the intercom system, and then ROB's voice could be heard. "We have arrived at Titania. Preparing to dock."

Torran nodded, withholding the urge to call the General right away. For all he knew, Falco was right.
Torran's fists clenched in anger. "I'll be the one to strike him down myself if it comes to it, the traitor... in the meantime, Ace, anything you'd care to do here? A bar or something?"

"That sounds great." Ace said, he couldn't wait to get away from Ember.
Trevor went with Ember and Panther to gather the parts needed to fix Ember's ship.
"I think we'll join you, if you don't mind." Marcus said, followed by Falco.
Bunny volunteered to stay with the Great Fox.
"Would you like to join us, Shiori?" Ace asked her.

Shiori stretched her arms and yawned. "Sure thing! It would be nice to get out for a change. My team's been stuck patrolling in Venom for far too long" She followed the rest to the bar
