The aftermath of the battle was quiet.
The tribe got to work cleaning up the destruction. Between the damage Gorgon-Fluvis caused and… what happened with SURGE and Powertronic - recovery would take time.
Joe fell easily in the role that seemed expected of him - leading, approving questions, and helping with the effort. When anyone - teammate or tribe member - asked what would be next, he became quiet, his brow furrowed in thought.
Mette did what she could to comfort Aliud, for all they did not seem to welcome her. They were … processing, and there was much in the last moments above the jungle that needed consideration.
Roddy hadn’t yet had time to talk to Mette about what HE had seen - what the temple’s senses and Gothwitch’s powers had allowed him to - maybe - pull off, at the very last second.
He could wait. There’d be a good time to explain - it all came down to timing.
Alex had never needed the airstrike from Aegis, but the request itself drew their attention, and their ‘local’ airships were there to ‘provide support as needed’ within an hour… though at a glower from Tahi, a growl from Joe, and a few words from Alex, they maintained an extremely respectful distance from what appeared to be a sovereign society’s new territory.
And there was Kiln and…
well, there was Kiln.
It was a lot to process.
The aftermath of the battle was quiet.
