Lina Knight was, even in the best of times these days, a volatile young woman. She had been the first contacted by the Zodiacs to spread word amongst the knights as wel las any senshi she might have contact with that their help was desperately needed. As such, she was one of the very last people to make their way up into space at the Surrounding.
Her initial trip had been to the main Chronos Castle figuring that she would be best put to work there. It was recommended, after awhile, that she try the Virgo outpost. Her scanner could be put to work there finding what was wrong with those who were hurt. In fact several civilians had fallen into strange short-lasting comas from being covered in blue gel. One had vanished.
It was arriving at this outpost through the groves that she had realized something. Something both wonderful and terrible all at the same time. Growing there in the dead-center of the Virgo Groves was a Lina tree. One of her sacred palms that, the last she knew, grew in only two places in the entire universe. Striding straight up to the Outposts' senshi she couldn't resist snagging her by the wrist and dragging her away from the group.
"You have so much explaining to do. Where did you get this?!" A black-covered arm gestured wildly before she looked expectantly at Virgo. Bewildered eyes looked back at her so that the Knight of Mercury had only one real solution. "Never mind, I know how to solve this." Or at least she hoped it would solve it. Closing her eyes, the words of her pledge were said with a true reverence befitting a noble knight.
The group wouldn't have seen anything interesting. One minute they were there the next? Gone. Gone away to the Lina groves of Mercury so that the bluenette could release the wrist of Soldier Virgo and cross her arms expectantly.

She'd been about to launch into the story of the Surrounding's creation as she, Aria, had been taught it when an enraged blue-haired knight had approached her and dragged her away. Virgo didn't recognize her, which made her immediately worried when the woman grabbed onto her wrists and dragged her away, towards the center of the Groves.
They stopped before the Lina tree, and Virgo looked up at it for just a moment before turning her attention to the stranger. "What do you mean," she asked, and then the knight closed her eyes and recited her vows. Or, vows as Virgo sort of dimly remembered them; they sounded familiar, but she'd never had to hear anyone really recite them. No one had ever had to, she'd only ever met knights when she was on their home planets.
"This is Lina," she said once they were pulled through space. "Are you Lina Knight?" Her smile had turned expectant, tempered with just a little bit of restraint. Babylon Squire had turned out not to be her friend Menachem. She couldn't hope that this blue-haired woman would be the same Lina she remembered. Or could she?
She ran a hand over her hair and said, "Lina Knight gave me the Lina tree, so I'd have a little bit of home when I was far away. Don't you remember?"

Lina nodded, paused, then shook her head while looking from the large tree, to Virgo, then back again suspiciously. "The nod was that yes, I'm Lina. I think I'm the only Lina there's ever been unless there was one before the one I was a thousand years ago. The headshake was no, I don't remember ever giving a tree away." This made her look disconcerted more than the anger that had first shown when the bluenette had blown into Virgo's sanctuary, all but kidnapping her so that she could figure out what was going on.
"I thought the only trees that had ever been moved and survived were on Castor and those are...well. They're not exactly healthy." Their color seemed to have picked up but for the most part the groves of the tree that had been placed on the icy planet of her past-life husband had died straight down to their roots. "It was a bit of a shock to see one so I brought you here, because it helps the memories. Works that way with Castor and I on his planet at least. He seems to just get piles of memories when I'm there." Not all of them remotely kosher but Virgo definitely did not need to know that. Wasn't she the Senshi of Virgins or something like that?
Probably something Lina needed to know.
"You remember though, so you can tell me anyway. How did I know you?" Leaning against the big tree like it was made for the shape of her body, Lina smiled encouragingly. Apparently she'd chosen to stop being just a little scary...for now.
