"But it's a good story," she harrumphs at Izoldah. Her face softens a bit and she adds, "What the Jerries believe can be used against them. We can't throw any intel away, I mean. Not after Saxemberg." She gives Yulia an enthusiastic nod.

A wide-eyed Grace looks up from her reading material to ramble, "It's hard to think about it. I thought anything like this wouldn't be so alien. Something so cold. That we were placed here without love. I can't see us in these—these things." She clenches the folder containing Pabodie's expedition. "But it'll help our mission if we understand them." Her frantic gaze settles into relative calmness as she uses her quivering thumbs as bookmarks. "I won't shy away from the truth. I won't!"

"What the Black Sun and Nachtwölfe are doing," Agent Flynn lets the names linger in the air before intoning, "Is trying to win this war." She clasps her hands together and stares at the assembled officers. "Why would such rivals join forces in Antarctica when they should be fighting each other for scraps?" she poses the rhetorical question. After a moment of her silence is spent eyeing their dissenters, she emphatically says, "If there was more chaos—more Jerry infighting—we could believe this wasn't important." A pause. "But… they are together, wholly dedicated to our defeat… do we dare take them lightly?"

She tenses up and her eyes go wide during Byrd's recitation and subsequent revelation. Grace squeezes her eyes shut and takes a few deep breaths. "It's time you gentlemen learned about the Ritscher expedition," she begins to speak in a slower, more deliberate cadence. The agent glances at Bradley's briefcase with arms akimbo, "It was what told us about their base around that tower and… much more troubling things. It supports the film we just saw—supports it so well it frightens me!"
