*The Stormwings stood no chance against the four of you, but that altercation definitely could not have gone unnoticed.
 	
*Armorer: ...Tinkerer. 
*Armorer: And you are?...
 	
*You introduce yourself—admittedly for the second time—but take a closer look at Avyn.
 	
*That warping strike... There was no mistaking it.
*Avyn is indeed Zenia.
*Yet you can't help but wonder how different the two can really be, seeing that Zenia hadn't developed independently from Gazia's control.
 	
*Avyn: I'm so glad you're all right, Azius.
*Avyn: How did you manage to evade notice?
 	
*Having been let off somewhat unexpectedly by the Sentinel, you'd been following Azius through a series of twisting passages.
*Along every bend, you found the same few sights: hollow-eyed people in chains, some with mechanical limbs haphazardly attached.
*They groaned and writhed in pain, and something about them reminded you of the multitudes of test chambers in Azius' old facility...or Gazia's.
 	
*Azius only shook his head sadly at them, insisting that you both make haste in finding and disabling their communications.
 	
*Following the sparse notes you were able to gather proved to be more of a help than you had expected.
*Azius had attempted to disable one of his devices, but failed to detect its security measure.
*As rudimentary as it was, a piercing screech like that would easily alert anything within the area.
 	
*Azius clears his throat abruptly in the middle of your recount, waving his hand about.
*Azius: Yes, it was a most fascinating caper. I owe much to 's vigilance.
*Azius: But we can save the pleasantries for later, or we'll be entertaining more unnecessary guests.

—Old City Boundary, Sector 9
*After securing the area, you glance at your haphazard little group.
 	
*Gazia...
 	
*Deimos...
 	
*...and Zenia.
 	
*Observing Elysia was one thing, but getting to interact with people who aren't quite as you know is another.
*Besides, the heightened tension in the air isn't making things any easier.
 	
*Armorer: ...And you thought to simply reappear like some fable for your heroic comeback.
 	
*Azius: I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth.
*Azius: I made a choice and I take responsibility for it, regardless of the outcome.
 	
*Armorer: But did you, when Avyn was taken for questioning after your abrupt disappearance?
*Armorer: You have no regard whatsoever for those around you, do you?
 	
*Azius: What?
 	
*Armorer: You treat them as tools, useful only when they possess something of value.
*Armorer: Draegar. Avyn. Who knows, maybe even .
*Armorer: Have you no morals? No sympathy?
 	
*Azius: You...
 	
*Avyn: No, wait! I volunteered for his experiments!
*Avyn: None of us could have predicted—
 	
*Armorer: He *absconded*, Avyn.
*Armorer: There's no changing that fact.
 	
*You turn away, feeling a little sick to your stomach.
*There was no denying they were still the same person on the inside...
*...But for all the things he has done, Azius was far from similar to Gazia.
*An uncomfortable silence descends upon all of you, and before long, you hear Avyn quietly shuffle outside.

—Outside Sector 9
 	
*Avyn: ... ...
 	
*Avyn takes a deep breath, but the scent of lingering gunsmoke and fire overpowers what remains of the greenery.
*This sector made up the boundary between the Old City and the new, present Athensphere.
*A little slice of green heaven desperately threatened by intrusive machinery.
*?: Didn't think you would let yourself out in the open after skulking for so long.
 	
*Avyn: ?!
 	
*A figure steps out from the gloom, and in the silence, the quiet whine of servomotors can be heard with every movement.
 	
*Avyn: Andaria.
 	
*Strategos: Only you would still call me by that name.
 	
*Avyn: That is the only name I would remember you by.
 	
*Avyn: You followed us. Why didn't you strike?
 	
*Strategos: I came to help you, Avyn.
*Strategos: Give up your folly. I will ensure your pardon so long as you cease all contact with the renegades.
 	
*Avyn: You want me to be a turncoat.
 	
*Strategos: I'm saving you from certain death.
 	
*Avyn: No, you're not.
*Avyn: What happened to you, Sister?
*Avyn: I've always looked up to you as a paragon of honor and comradeship.
 	
*Avyn: I see you for what you are now.
*Avyn: Just another cog in the machine!
 	
*Strategos: ...If that is what you wish...
