"It's not that. I simply...I have to get this out of me. The aggression of generations. Their memories, no, their will is telling me that they did the same. Waded into a war that we were involved in. It's a rite of passage for a Taurus...I must fight." Taurus says. "Besides Saggitarius and Corvus are there. They'll need the back up and we can get me there faster than Capricorn can drive."

"How do you know Corvus is there? I haven't heard anything from that one of Scorpio's in a long time.," Aquarius asks skeptically.

"I worked with Scorpio during my early days a lot. I was there when he was first assigned to keep watch over Relena and Thaddeus. Apparently one of them is her successor and Corvus was there to make sure they didn't die." Taurus says. "I didn't hear which on but...it makes sense given how the fake is acting with her attacks. Maybe it's out of jealousy?"

"Perhaps. But with the length of time Scorpio has been around, a more serious question is why she now picks a successor.," Aquarius states.

"She's been forming her own memories for so long, her husband is dead, his replacement someone she finds incompitent. Perhaps she is ready to pass on her legacy. Her powers have evolved so that she may choose how long she lives. I bet she is making sure her children are protected, and then I think she will chooses to leave us." Libra says.

"You guys didn't figure it out at all did you?" Taurus says. "How does one like that get wounded? She's nearing the end of her life. instead of getting wrinkles, she's had moments when she solidifies. She's the last of the first...it's her pride mixed with her wish to dies as dignified as the first. We don't know when so she's hard pressed...to die taking this matter to the grave as a martyr. All this Devil's Claw stuff...she's going to take the fall...to do her job." He looks at them. "Don't...try to stop her. It's far too late. It's what she wants."

"It's idiotic. There's no reason to just throw yourself away because some pets decided to get rebellious and run off on their own. If she's so pressed to go and kill herself then she has to stay up here and stop going down to the surface. I'll do it myself if I have to.," Aquarius states.

"She'd trash your external body first. She not doing it because of the Claw's. She made them for this. She set this up to correct her own wrongs before she dies. It's the same as us tearing you out of the core and sticking someone else in. If we have to honor you then please...honor this." Taurus says. "After all...she's lived a long, painful life. Does she not have the right to end it on her terms?

"Not now. There's too much going on now for me to just let her kill herself.," Aquarius says.

"Alright then, Libra, look for replacements for the core." Taurus says. "The younger, the better. They'll live longer then."

"Taurus be fair, you know this is different. And it's not that easy, it would need to be another orbis." Libra says. she is quiet a moment, and smiles a little "How sweet...Anyways, I need to concentrate on finding our Cancer first, so that Schedar can finish his project and we can get some order in this place."

"Is that a threat?!," Aquarius accuses.
"Oh relax, jeez.," Leo says. "You all jump to such outrageous conclusions sometimes, I swear. Whether she's off to kill herself or not, I sure that Scorpio would at least have the common sense to not just leave the rest of us in a bad spot with her absence. And if she doesn't then she's probably starting going senile or something and really should have a replacement."
"I...fine.," Aquarius says reluctantly. "I just expected something more from her after that conversation we had after Aries died..."

"Why do you think she had that conversation? It wasn't just concern. I don't think she wants you to go through that again for her. She wanted you to be ok with letting go." Taurus says. "And she's not going to abruptly die, not if she can help it. It is a long term plan and she'll deal with all of that before she goes." He looks at Aquarius specifically when he says this. "The heir issue though is a problem we can help with. If it's Relena, her devotion is to Elric is blinding from reports, and God help us if it's Thaddeus."

Aquarius shakes her had. "It doesn't matter who really. In the end, after the initiation, they will be supportive of our cause.," she says.

"She certainly like picking complicated allies." Libra chuckles "It will be much easier if Elric does prove to be my Cancer. He will draw in both of them. It's such a bother that it's taking so long for him to develop a second power..."
