Hatred was in the eyes of many of the group who had either lost companions or been seriously injured by the enemy's actions.
Titus was one of the angriest, having just lost his old friend, Bella, who had tragically died while providing mental support to the group.
Bella, as well as other dead members of Minos' crew, had suffered from the remaining attacks of the enemy Protectors, but also from their space weapons.
While they had been destroyed by Minos and the strongest members of this crew, the enemy Protectors and the aliens' high-level weapons had done more damage than anyone could have imagined just by watching the main battles.
Titus had nearly died with Bella, watching his old friend go up in smoke next to him, as if her level 89 meant nothing.
