"Thank god she's still in there. it would've destroyed abby and clarke" jackson says, "question is. how do we get josephine out?" i ask, "we'll need raven. she'll know what to do" echo says. "raven's not here" 
i look at madi, "hey, we're gonna get her back" i state. "When the transport ship lands, we'll be waiting in the field with josephine. once we're all on the mother ship, abby, clarke, raven and jackson will go to work"
"What if they don't open the shield and let us out?" miller asks, "if they don't josephine dies"
"that's why they will" i state. "What about delilah? if julia's still alive then she could be too" jordan adds,
i sigh and look down. "You only care about julia" 
i look up at jordan and sigh. "that's not true but we worry about julia for now. we start asking questions and the primes figure out why-"
"They can't figure it out if their dead" madi cuts in. i look at her worriedly, "once we kill all the primes, we take over sanctum. we save julia here in the lab that was built for it"
"is that your idea or sheidheda's?" i ask. she looks at me, "who care if it works? i've been surveilling the one named miranda. we kill her and let them find the body. they'll think it's the children of gabriel and panic, locking themselves inside the palace, probably the great hall. and that's where we'll be waiting to take out the rest" 
"we're not killing delilah" jordan says. "delilah's already dead" 
"we don't know that for sure" i sigh and look at aurora who's drawing, "you're right, but what we do know is i'm the commander" 
why did clarke leave madi down here. "Echo thinks it's a good idea, don't you spy?"
echo sighs. "a little aggressive for the situation, but it could work if we were willing to kill all of their people along with them when they come after us for killing their gods" 
i rub my face. "We are"
"no we're not. gaia would tell you the same thing if she were here, we have until the ship lands to come up with a quiet way to get julia on it" i state.
"what about murphy, and emori?" jackson asks. i shake my head, "for now, we tell them nothing"
"emori too?" echo looks at me, "we have to assume that she's with him. don't worry, when it's time to go, we're taking them with us. even if we have to do it by force" 
i look at madi and she glares at me, i shake my head and walk over to aurora. "come on" i say picking her up. "where are we going?"
"you're gonna eat some food, you haven't ate all day"
"i'm not hungry" she whines. she tries getting out of my arms and i set her down in a chair. i kneel in front of her, "look i know you miss your mom, i do too. but she's still alive, and we can save her. but she would not want you to die from not eating, so you need to eat"
she huffs and crosses her arms. "fine" i smile and stand up, "i'll be right back" i walk over to the bar and see delilahs mom. "my daughter needs something to eat, can you make her a something?" she smiles and nods, 
i walk away and grab auroras drawing from the table and walk it over to her, i sit across from her. "what's this?" i ask,
"it's a picture i drew. of us saving mommy" 
the drawing is of the primes, all with x's as eyes. and julia next to aurora, "aurora you can't draw things like these"
"why not?" i sigh. "because someone could take it the wrong way" she looks down and delilahs mom brings her some food, "thanks"
