Having left the Bellerophon behind in a fit of rage, Tasha now finds herself exploring with Blammo, the happy-go-lucky Titanian. The two head towards where Blammo found his mysterious alchohol, a location he claimed was created for Vartans. Interested in that part of her ancestry, Tasha is more than happy to follow as they proceed deep in to Orpheus. Entering a set of side doors, Tasha finds the Khattan-made 'Talon Lounge' sprawled out before her in all its intoxicating, shiny beauty. Entranced, the young woman partakes of both liqour and inforation from the Synth bartender, until a series of critical tidbits has her running for the elevator.
After a short trek through the Khattan sector, Tasha and Blammo arrive at a hangar dedicated to the Vartan mercenaries that were once to be assigned to the ship. While the Garudas, giant bird-like troop carriers, have all launched, many space suits remain for Tasha to drool over. Bit, that's not all that remains. Two black boxes are also recovered, one of which reveals mysterious cybernetic tools connected to a machine known as 'Melchior.' As the two search onward, the truth of the Melchior is revealed: the great Titan yet remains, still sealed in its protective shell. Tasha is speechless.
