When he was about to target one of them in the hope of taunting them again, he received a notification from his Oracle Device. He was startled when he found that it was a message from Jake.
"Caphriel has been freed and Ruby is in our hands, sedated with the potion you gave me."
"What about the other Digestor Trojans?" Vexa inquired.
"Dead."
