As Darian and Alice finished off the last of the Grimm Merel walked over to Helena, who was occupied with her VTOL still flying overhead in a sort of holding pattern. She used some kind of device on her wrist to remotely have it begin its landing procedure a short distance away from the four of them. As Merel approached the Huntress all doubt she had flowed away, the resemblance was clear to see now. Merel tried to think of a way to greet her, doubting she'd recognize her after so many years but before she could find her words Helena cut her off.

"What in God's name were you thinking, driving into an active mission area like that? If there had been more than two Alphas I wouldn't have been able to save your asses" Merel was stunned for a moment by that remark, this was nothing like the woman she'd remembered. she quickly recovered with her usual selfassured tone

"We knew what we were getting into when we looked over your mission details, and we still had plenty of options to defend ourselves. But that's not important, what's important is that we needed to find you as soon as possible." Merel saw the expression of Helena change, it did not soften but curiosity was plain to see mixed with the displeasure of this unexpected trouble. "So why did you try and find me in the middle of a mission? You guys said something about a family matter?" Helena asked with a hint of worry in her tone "it is difficult to explain. I think i should first say we met some years ago. My name is Merel Serac, you used to know my father Egil Crucible" when she dropped the names there was definitely something of an emotion that crossed Helena's face, but it was too quick for Merel to tell what. she Did recognize them though so that was something, she pressed on. "Over there are Darian Nightshade and Alice Jager, we're from Beacon and..."

Merel hesitated, she had run out of time to think of how to bring this bombshell and so she paused. it had been well over a decade since the Breach in Norema, how could she believe her daughter was still alive and right here?
