"Wait a second where are you going then!? The nearest battle field is near Donna!" Baker replied quickly as soon as she saw Virtue deciding to hazardously shift course. "You yourself said that you are in no condition to keep fighting what are you doing? Captain say something!" Baker pleaded as Jason laughed, "And what exactly should I say to a person whom isn't a conscript like Gabriel Cross or Graham Aker? I don't believe you understand that I have no power over this woman's actions." Jason said as Baker looked at him confused then back at the console in front of her, "Miss Saturnalia I urge you to reconsider your current objective whatever it may be! It's not safe out there!" commented keeping a calm face but it was clear from her tone she was actually concerned for the stranger.
"Don't worry, Miss Baker," Saturnalia replied, "I won't put myself in harm's way, I just...need to confirm something." Saturnalia wasn't sure if she wanted to reveal what she sensed as that would give away the fact that she was an Innovade. In her world, Innovades were relatively new, very well hidden, and very few people knew of their existence. The Innovades planned to take over the world through engineered conflict and subterfuge while creating a common enemy in the form of Celestial Being to be used as a scapegoat. The baggage that came with being an Innovade made her decide to keep that bit of information to herself. However, there were people who spoke of "Newtypes", a term she wasn't familiar with, but from what she could gather, were also evolved humans with similar abilities.
"I sensed something, call it intuition...but it could be another terrorist like Trinity. I have to make sure." When Saturnalia finally made it to where Gabriel was, her fear was confirmed, she saw a Celestial Being Gundam, the melee combat suit, Exia, recorded as MIA after Operation Fallen Angels, presumed destroyed. The snippets of ally communication gave her enough information to know what Gabriel was planning. She knew she didn't have enough GN particles to do enough damage to the Exia, and even if she did, the Exia was probably too fast to guarantee a solid hit. if she couldn't destroy it with one attack, the Exia's pilot (probably Setsuna F. Seiei) would probably assume Gabriel had been trying to trick him, and would thus either turn on Gabriel or try to escape. On the one hand, she owed her life to Gabirel, who had saved her from the black, cloaking Gundam so she felt it was wrong to endanger his life by provoking the Exia. On the other hand, she didn't want to let the Exia escape either. The best option then, would be to support Gabriel's decision, and find a way to deal with Setsuna later, although with Setsuna and Nena on the ship, it was going to be very difficult to try and get rid of both of them. To help Gabriel in his recruitment of the Exia, Saturnalia decided to take a small gamble and came out of hiding, making the Virtue fully visible to the Exia, but she did not say a word, and waited to see how the pilot would respond. She hoped that the sight of a 'friendly Celestial Being Gundam" would make the pilot more likely to come along, despite the fact that the Exia's pilot already knew that Graham Aker, one the Exia's greatest rivals, was already on their side.
