Kieran recieved Hahli's notice and nodded to himself as the contacts registered on his MS's sensor arrays as well.

"Just get the prisoners to safety. I'll move to intercept.", he told her, already moving to launch himself into the air. Promptly airborne, the mercenary flew towards incoming contacts. Quickly coming into visual range, he noted that they were military transports. Kieran broadcast a request for identification, and was happily surprised by the answer.

"CRES-1, this is UEG cargo transport Delta-Five incoming with Team CRES and requested relief supplies. What is your status? Over.", came the reply.

"Condition Yellow. Clean-up of the remaining pirate forces is in progress. The liberated slaves are being brought back into the base to shelter in the MS hangar. I'm surprised you got here so fast. Over.", Kieran reported, sending word to the others and moving to lead the convoy directly to the hangar. The transports landed in front of the large building as Kieran slipped his MS inside to park it in an empty MS maintenance/storage bay near the entrance. The refugees were milling about inside. Quickly descending to the ground, Kieran ran out of the hangar and spotted the rest of Team CRES running up to him from a transport. Bergen and Hahli, having already arrived and stored their MS, were also wandering over, albeit at a more sedate pace. Kieran dropped his helmet and caught his wife in a hug, spinning her around and giving her a passionate kiss. She smiled sweetly as they seperated. And then Roderick Martin, CRES-2, suckerpunched the mercenary in the face from the right. Sahara Zerda, a short Faunus and CRES-4, uppercut him from the left as he staggered, and Electra Demeter, his human wife and CRES-3, gave him a straight cross to the nose. The stunned mercenary fell on his back.

"That's for scaring us!", Electra declared.

"I deserved that.", Kieran said, only to recieve a vicious jumping crotch stomp from his wife in response. "Fuck! That too.", he yelped, shifting into a fetal position.

"And that's for not being there when I needed you most.", she said, arms crossed.

"Electra! Calm down. It's not good for the baby.", Sahara scolded. Kieran jolted upright, trying to stand.

"Baby?! I'm a dad?!", he exclaimed, getting on his feet. Electra nodded, hugging her husband.

"I knew a day after you went dark. But now they'll never know their aunts, uncles, and grandparents.", she told him. Dread formed in the pit of his stomach.

"Why? What happenned?", he asked.

CRES explained the Heavenly Adonis' attacks and the deaths the SMC suffered as a result. Kieran's face was pale with shock as he rocked Electra back and forth, stroking her hair to comfort her. The mercenary squad leader shook himself and turned to some of the onlookers.

"This is the rebel leader, Bergen, and Hahli, one of his leiutenants.", he introduced, his hands on Electra's belly as he now held her from behind.

"What about my sister? Where's Flannery?", Roderick asked.

"Rickyl" Upon hearing the voice, the Red Kangaroo Faunus spun around just in time to be glomped to the ground by his fraternal twin. Kieran chuckled as the two were finally reunited in person.
