" Thank you for your kind offer. I might as well accept it. I guess it's time for me to get going but let's stay in touch." Misha shared her contact information with Saturnus scheduling the arrival of her cargo later that week.
A few days later...
Doctor Lucia Cordova would arrive at Europa station, having gotten in touch with Saturnus prior to her own arrival.
" I was wondering why you weren't around the main facility. Nice to see you decided to exile yourself to this Judeca. I've always found the ninth circle of hell to be rather cozy." There was always a hint of snide in her comments.

Saturnus sat back in his seat a somewhat bored expression on his face."You would have to ask the Doctor. Apparently my return displeased him in some way." he said with a slight shrug."Regardless, what can I help you with?"

" I am not here request help in fact I came here to help you. From what I have seen you don't have many friends left but I can provide you a force to be reckoned with." Lucia would slide him a data card containing information about a mass produced model of Android not unlike her daughter Emilia.

Saturnus raised an eyebrow above his currently good eye and would curiously take the card looking it over."Androids?" he asked nearly to himself as he would then look back to her."You would be correct, I don't have many friends left... and those that I do have well... he had made sure to separate me from them." he said setting the card down and thinking briefly."So, seems you know what I am about. What do you exactly want me to do with this force? Whats the catch?" he asked her remembering all the catches the Doctor had thrown at him.

" You know as well as I do that Rhys Gilliam is the only man standing in our way. Once he is out of the picture we should be able to move freely towards our common goal." Lucia felt confident to inform Saturnus seeing this facility was safely under his control.
" Wouldn't that be amusing? With the Federation gone we should be good to do whatever we please. Maybe even set the score even with the professor... " It was no secret Matthias had been the one behind Saturnus "exile".

Saturnus paused and considered what she had said before a very gentle smile began to creep onto his face."Seems to me that the both of us have the same goals in mind." he said."The only way forward is to remove Rhys." he nodded as he adjusted in his seat."That old man and his family puts the profits and the Federation before the people of Jupiter. That doctor, as I have come to find out is more then pleased to play every side possible." he said with a slight shrug."So I'll do it. I will take this force and end them. But the only question is... well... how?" he asked quietly."Rhys surrounds himself with the JSDF and local Federation forces..." he said thinking for a moment.

" The only feasible way to achieve the hit would involve making it look like he was killed by his own supporters. Someone within the JSDF or the Federation forces." Lucia had already come up with a frame of reference for this plan.
" I can make some of the cyborgs resemble some of the Federation personel. I'll only need genetic samples but I can get those on my own." In the files Saturnus would find that these cyborgs were almost indistinguishable from a living, breathing human being.

"I see..." Saturnus said with a pause curious as he took another look at the files."Making it look like the Federation would work best for certain. Without a doubt it would throw Jupiter into confusion... but the local Federation forces would be forced to try and take charge or lock down. That wouldn't look very good on them... especially if in the hit we took out of of his key supporters..." Saturnus said thinking for a moment."How long would it take?" he asked."To make them I mean." he added in clarification.

" I should have the first six ready before the month is over." Lucia had made a few 'male' and 'female' Cyborg frames on the trip to Jupiter.
" I am using the Galileo institute facilities to harvest more organic tissue but I also don't want the professor to get suspicious. Let's say it would take me three months to get about 20 ready." She confidently stated.

"I can get the genetic samples of the Federation personnel if you need. I will probably need to grab them though..." he said trailing off a little as he thought about it."When they are ready, and when we are ready to depart there is one thing..." he said with a pause."I want to take Catherine with us..." he said.

" That's not going to be easy. The professor always keeps a close eye on her and as you know it's not in my best interest to make it clear to him I am on your side." The lab coat wearing purple haired woman produced a wooden smoking pipe, liting it up with a simple lighter she kept in her pocket at all times.

" All I need to do is tell her to come with me and it will happen. She has no loyalty to him, and that is one of the reasons he has me down here." Saturnus said."After we have the dna you worry about making the androids. I can have her out discreetly with some preparations..."

Much later on at the Galileo institute ...
Catherine had rather unceremoniously lost the mock encounter against Emilia not once but five consecutive times. The Banshee performed the way it was supposed to, being a fearsome machine up close and at a distance; However despite her peak newtype abilities she couldn't predict any of the movements Emilia's Zorin Soul performed. The battles had not been completely one sided but it was obvious Catherine was at a disadvantage, lacking the proper experience to go against a cyborg optimized for battle.
The brunette had almost suffered a mental break down, her confidence shattered after her string of defeats. All she could think about was having Saturnus show up to make her feel better with kind words and a small loving gesture. She simply laid in bed, looking at the ceiling and trying to figure out what she did wrong.

Catherine would sense a familiar pressure approaching at a cautious pace. Saturnus had managed to get on board the station and avoid being stopped by security. Not that the doctor had explicitly banned him from the station. But he had to act fast before the news of his arrival reached the Doctor. Then he would be booted out for certain. Saturnus would come up besides her door and ring the bell.

Even before Saturnus walked up to the door, Catherine could feel his presence approaching. The professor had made it clear Saturnus was not going to be welcome anymore but she hardly cared.
The door slid open as soon as he rang it, Catherine awaiting him with a bag with clothes slung over her shoulder.
" We are leaving in a hurry, right?" Catherine was already suited up, ready to follow her brother out.
