Numira thought about it for a moment as he asked if she knew Ixera. At first, the name meant nothing to her, she thought about it some more, but then looked up at the ceiling, frowning a little as she tried to figure it out,
"Ixera is the name for many on Kiranes.. But not many special people with that.." She paused, then looked at Kiernan, perhaps with knowing, or at least a possible idea, "I know of an Ixera.. She is.. Or was one of our greatest.. Um.. Creator of weapons..? But she left.. Almost two decades past..?" She thought hard on it once more, trying to remember the pictures she had seen,
"I can just vaguely recall an image like her face, from a book I once did read.."

"Ixera Tuvai. Chief weapons specialist of the Kiranes Imperial Military. Abandoned Kiranes seventeen years ago in order to research the darkness." Hecate's voice could be heard as a nearby panel shifted, an image of light appeared in the medical bay, it looked like Hecate himself but his face was instead a humanoid blank plate, it stood straight but turned its face towards them,
"She designed the first of the Titans that currently guard the royal family, she also created me and two unnamed biological projects. I am not permitted to discuss the unnamed projects." He added, the door tot he ship hissed and opened, Hecate's original body stepping in smoothly with a tray, a cover rested over the food he was bringing. The holographic image scattered and he approached,
"Young Master Kiernan. The Iskander can be considered my body. This body you see in front of you is merely something I control. Young Mistress Numira should understand,"

Numira watched the robot walking into the Med Bay but then looked at Kiernan with a smile,
"I have a ship too. Not quite like this, but similar. It also has a machine like.. Um.. What is your name?" She stared at the robot as it set the tray down before Numira. a platform of light formed there to hold it,
"I am Hecate. A pleasure to meet you, Young Mistress Numira. Please, enjoy your meal. Should you need anything, you need only say it and I will hear."

-------------------------------------------------

"That is the fighting spirit I would like to see!" Ixera stated witha smile as Veila drew her othe rblade. It was fascinating to see such a rudimentary model move so well. If anything the amount of reinforcement on it should have made it slower and weaker than it was, yet it was working quite well. Ixera couldn't help but admire the work, in fact if anything was a sign of sheer talent, it was being able to make something extraordinary with limited resources. However adding in the magic of the unit.. Hecate would never have stood a chance without upgrades. But now instead, his parts were her tools.

The two blades that had gone after Veila were indeed held back as she struck for the crystal just behind Ixera. The woman didn't shift, even as the blade struck through the crystalline core and it seemed to shatter at first, however once the weapon passed, the magical energy holding the crystal together pulled it together again and sealed it over.
Ixera turned her head however as another of the three Golem's appeared at her side, it was Kain's unit, he had circled around to the side Veila had struck, attempting to rush the woman, however the long sectioned tail-like structure whipped around and she finally moved from her spot. She floated in the air as the tail wrapped its arm around a thrusting palm from Kain's unit and tugged it across, between herself and Veila, sending the unit crashing to the ground, the tail quickly unwrapping.

"Nice, an attempt at my blind side," Ixera grinned, eyes keeping on Veila, however she held her right hand out to the opposite side, the weapon arm opening up in the direction she pointed. A blast of lightning crashed into her right side, however it all fell into the crystal within the cannon arm itself, being absorbed, "Nice, I had a feeling that would give me a power boost."She stated as the three spare blades she had on her left wing bore down on Kain's unit, not piercing it directly, however they pinned him to the ground, though she could hear the unit of the third man approaching her right side. He lacked the stronger melee prowess of the other two units, but his golem had a pair of claws. Yet even as he bore down on Ixera, she opened her right hand fully and a blast from the cannon threw Benoit's golem off its feet, leaving Veila once more, whom Ixera continued to intently stare at,
"I believe you are my favorite, you move that machine so well.." The tail whipped behind her once, the sections of the tail closest to the tip lining up then interconnecting tightly, turning into a sixth blade that scored the earth behind herself again, "How well is your breathing in there? Can you still see everything correctly? Or is it starting to take effect..? Is there anything you want in this life, young lady?" Ixera questioned with a smile, she was sure by now that it would begin, she couldn't afford to play around with them too much longer.
No matter how brilliant she was, Ixera had her limits, worst of all her magic. As finely tuned as she had created her own magic, she didn't have the capacity for a prolonged fight. Not like Zed or Shina. That girl of Yu's showed promise, that Kiernan too..
Strange that these thoughts would bother her now. Especially memories of Master Yu.
