Welcome to Gaia! ::

Caliban grumbled as he kicked at a rock and watched it fall into the pond that he was near. He had been powering up quite a bit more, especially now that his moon was finally free of any bad feelings there and no longer having to worry about the monster finally coming free.

And then the Earth had aliens. It just seemed to be one thing after another this year didn't it? First it was that random attack by the Negaverse on that office building, that Wonder, his moon, and now aliens. And he didn't even trust them. Why did they have to build a giant weapon to kill the Negaverse? That sounded like something from a movie where when you used it and the dust finally settled, then you would find the villain standing there and laughing at the useless attack.

Could the aliens really be trusted as well? The one, Caedus, had to have been captured for some reason by the Negaverse. He was clearly important, even if he had been able to escape their clutches. What was he not telling them? They wanted their world back, was that the Negaverse?

He wasn't sure where to let go of this anger and he was getting rid of it by wandering near the pond to the point where he had practically warn a path down with his steps.

He just wanted to go back to his Homeworld. Even if he could only go back once a week, that would be better than waiting for whatever the aliens were going to do next. During a moment of pause he thought he heard some movement and whipping his head around yelled out, "Who's there? Don't surprise me because I will attack you!"

No wonder he couldn't sense the aura and it hadn't been because they were a civilian. He relaxed his shoulders and let out a breath. He continued to be on guard though. He didn't find the aliens all too trustworthy considering their ultimate plan. "Sorry I'm just on... high alert tonight. And I was getting rid of some extra energy." Emotional energy, but he didn't care to point out the difference.

He looked at the alien, up and down, wondering who exactly she was trying to fool with the appearance, but considering the type of weirdly-dressed characters the city usually saw, perhaps no one would care. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Is there... a reason you're out here? Just exploring the area?" He was curious. He wasn't sure what the alien was doing here, especially in heels. He was glad that his uniform didn't have them.

He didn't like to talk much, but perhaps he could learn more about the aliens' plan through her if they did, though she may not have known anything other than what they told Order at that little meeting that they had.

Caliban gave the alien a wry smile. "Yeah, that's usually where the danger comes from. Or Youma that are roaming around. Though what I said wouldn't have made a difference to them." He wasn't ready to give any energy to the aliens. Not yet. And even if he did that didn't mean that they would just stop at him and call it complete. They had to drain as much as they could for whatever that weapon would be.

He still thought that maybe they should try the sun instead. Or nuclear energy.

He crossed his arms, a bit more relaxed. "Sometimes they can be sneaky, even if we do feel their energy. And their own Corrupt Mauvians can cloak any of their auras as well, so it's just best to be ready for any fighting we have to do." He was talking too much and he didn't like it. "What are you learning here in the woods?" Might as well have the alien talk for a bit.

Caliban shrugged at her question. "Yes you can, though it's doubtful that we'll find one. Surprisingly they appear to be few and far between." He wondered where they came from, wherever the Negaverse was, but why were there so few? Did Agents not like them or something?

He didn't believe that she would try anything funny. The aliens were trying to stay on the White Moon's good side after all. And he would definitely be willing to broadcast anything wrong that the aliens did.

He didn't really think he would need that much support, he had a good eternal attack after all, but perhaps she could be used as bait if need be. He wasn't sure how well she could fight, but if it was as bad as he was as a Senshi in the beginning, then she would definitely be the bait.

An eyebrow went up at what she said about nature. "Did you get the information from, trying to remember the name... Caedus? Or have you visited before?" What was the aliens' connection to Earth besides their leader getting rescued by individuals from this planet?

Caliban let her walk beside him. He had to admit that he felt a bit more comfortable having someone, supposedly, on their side with him, even if he was an Eternal. He hadn't yet been able to truly test his powers except for on the monster on his Homeworld, but he wondered if they would work on even a General.

He hoped he would get to try it out eventually. He couldn't help but smile a little at her murmurings. "It's been 5 years for me so far. There are others who have been at this much longer than I have. It's hard to tell if we are making a difference or just pushing back the inevitable. But..." he didn't want to sound as though he was doubtful they would win. "Even if it takes many years, I believe that we'll be able to win. Though I do wish we were more organized about it. Your team seems to be much more put together." They appeared to be at least. They had their orders, they followed them.

"Even more so than the Negaverse in the small amount of time that I've gotten to know you. And I appreciate you caring for our planet. Honestly I hope that your planet can be restored. It's sad that only one planet out here is truly thriving with life, though I can't say every human is keeping it that way." He couldn't help but frown for a moment, not a rare sight on his usually grumpy face. "Maybe you can take some information from us and use it to help with your planet's restoration efforts."

Caliban looked surprised. It wasn't... unheard of that an entire planet would be destroyed, though what gravitational and other physical effects that would have in the space around it probably wasn't something that was considered, but it reminded him of his Homeworld. He nodded in agreement. "Yes... though mine is nothing like yours, my Homeworld was plagued by a giant monster that we had to seal inside of a statue after every attack."

He frowned. "I don't believe there's anything outside of the large settlement that I've been to left of the planet. And I'm not just talking about life." He turned to her and gave her a small smile. "From what I was able to tell from the records that were there, though I couldn't read them, it had basically destroyed literally everything else on the planet. We were only lucky that my... past life managed to seal it again long enough for me to come back and complete the job of destroying the monster for good." He shook his head and turned to look ahead again, keeping his pace. "Even if I were to go back and try to rebuild my Homeworld at this point, there wasn't much left to it in the first place. I've been to others, even Wonders, and they at least had other settlements or even plants."

He sighed. "Sorry, that was quite the ramble. Just, not many people have experienced the same sort of world loss that my Homeworld did. I admire your people for that. You at least have your King and your Commander and others. Senshi though are by ourselves." He wouldn't say anything about the Knights under them. That was for a select few and even he wasn't sure if they could do much.

He shrugged his shoulders at her last question. "Greed is a very... powerful feeling on this planet. I can't say it's due solely to the Negaverse, perhaps they do encourage it at the least, but some would rather be able to be above others by accumulating wealth, no matter how they do it. Whether it's by gathering resources that hurt the planet or specifically... killing others. Wars. Considering you're a cadet, I'm sure you've fought others. People on this planet can create a lot of wealth by providing the weapons for others."

Caliban shook his head. "I had help. There was no way I could have defeated the monster without it. Or at the very least ending my life. I doubt I could have killed it entirely and most likely it would have killed me and moved onto the next Homeworld." He sighed. "It's not the same thing, I know. I am much luckier than your world I understand."

"You are right, we are able to restore some of it, though I haven't heard of any being restored fully, even those that have Knights. I hope I will be able to do more with the moon that is my Homeworld, but I can only hope that the civilization there can be restored during my lifetime." Whatever else was on his planet he had no idea. Water, plants? He had never seen any there. Looking out into what he could of his planet, which wasn't much considering how it had been shrouded in darkness most of the time, he hadn't been able to see anything.

But he hoped that the next time he went there, he would be able to take a step outside of the walls and see if there was anything out there, even if it was destroyed.

He nodded. "Yes, we've come to a point on our planet where... we have leisure time and paper currency or cards for goods used to fill that time. But even for things such as natural resources can be taken in a way that hurts the planet." He chuckled. "And as hard as some of us may try, these companies would lose money if people knew everything that they did and could choose a more... planet friendly one. So they're allowed to keep secrets from all of us."

He sighed. "It's unfortunate and makes me wish I could stay at my Homeworld more often, but I have no way of keeping myself sustained for more than a few days there."

Caliban shrugged. "I'm not sure. We haven't heard of a Sailor Earth, or at least I haven't. I can't tell you if anyone else has, there are others who have been Senshi longer than I have. You might talk to them and see if they have seen or heard of them." He did wonder if they had one. The Earth couldn't exist without one, right? Or at least it wouldn't be alive. He wasn't sure how it worked.

He gave her a small smile. "You would think. There are ways, but there are reasons that it hasn't been done. People aren't willing to for some. Most of us are just struggling to stay afloat. Some even like the products that these people who are destroying the planet are making. And even those of us who may not want their products and attempt to do the right thing, may be tricked into buying something that's harmful.

"I believe if enough of us were to go out and force the change, it could happen. But the main problem is numbers and the weapons that could be used against us. The world is fighting back, but there are others who believe that whatever we do to the planet it will be just fine." He shook his head. "I don't understand it myself. Perhaps you could tell us some of the things you do and we could incorporate that into our lives."

He took a deep breath and let it out. "If you ever do plan to go up against a corrupt government or organization make sure to tell me." He said with a chuckle. "I really don't know if chaos is behind it, but I think that's one of the reasons that we should take them down. If Earth is the only inhabitable Homeworld left, we should do everything we can to save it. You feel the same about your Homeworld right?"
