Blanc was momentarily dismayed by how guilty Nobel sounded when he spoke, but luckily she had been trained in the art of fast-talking her way out of situations like these by Diaboli. Canna, however, seemed more confused than displeased, though. Even when he lowered the hand Nobel had refused to shake. Before anybody could speak, however, the soldiers behind them parted, allowing Ulric to pass through.

"Captain, we have found the bodies of several members of Smiler's Gang, along with the remnants of a deceased crew - including the body of Captain Scarrow. It appears that they are telling the truth."

Canna looked back and forth between Nobel and Ulric several times as he processed the information - a noticable grating sound emanating from his helmet as he reached a decision.

"You two, walk with me," he said, more as an order than a request, before turning and walking down the corridor in the direction of the hangar and cargo bay, with Blanc and Nobel having no choice but to follow.

"I don't know who you two are, and I don't particularly care," he continued bluntly, '''"but I've fought terrorists like Smiler's Gang in the past, and I know how they work and how powerful they are. Judging by the fact that the ship has had its destination changed twice, and that all of their members are dead, I can confidently say that you are not working with them." '''

He continued walking until they came to the the Bullhead Blanc had prepared hours ago, ready and waiting to be flown at a moment's notice. He stopped and turned to face Blanc and Nobel again, but continued to direct his words at Nobel in particular.

'''"I'm not sure why you are leading your apprentice to Vale, but I'm assuming its because of everything that's been happening there since the fall of Beacon Tower. Let me just warn you then - travelling between kingdoms has been strictly monitored for a reason. Vale isn't dangerous just from Grimm - criminals are also taking this opportunity to crawl out of the woodwork, which is why I'm being sent there." '''

He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, before finishing with:

'''"Luckily, once Diaboli's been executed the world will be a safer place. Now you two better leave - this ship is now part of an investigation of national importance, and I can't have you staying here while we carry it out. Good luck." '''And with that he turned and walked away, leaving them with the ship.

Blanc was momentarily stunned into silence, overwhelmed with this sudden inflow in information. When Canna had left, however, she quickly pulled on Nobel's arm and led him into the ship and closed the door behind them.

"He must have thought we were Hunters on our way to Vale! We have to get out of here now! Wake Trago up, I'll get us ready to take off!" she hurriedly said.

Even as she hurried away, though, her mind was buzzing with questions. Who are the Decimari? How did the captain know about Smiler and his gang without communication between kingdoms? And most importantly - what was that about Decade's imminent execution? A part of her was relieved to hear he was still alive, but a larger part of her was worried that he wouldn't be for much longer.
