Pallette clanked as she sat, none-too-gently, on the floor, then glanced in irritation at her armor and changed into civillian clothing.

She rested her elbows on her knees as the code-shimmer died down and sighed.

"My brother came to see me a few days ago. I left before he could really... do, anything. He showed up again today and said he had information about me which could damage the Hunters. He wants me to meet with him at his lab, or he'll go public with what he knows."

"But it doesn't matter." Pallette rested her head on her arms. She was so tired of all of this. "I can't take the risk that he can tell the Government about Lumine and make them believe it. I can't risk that the Hunters will be implicated in associating with a known Maverick."

She laughed weakly. "Whether he has evidence or not, I'm in a situation where I have to meet him in a place he's chosen. Not a very good idea."
