"Ominous."

He gives her coordinates in the middle of the Pacific ocean, and starts flying that way.

Epic goes invisible and follows Alexandria in short teleport hops.

She is nowhere near as fast as Legend, but still pretty damn fast, and reaches the given destination in a matter of minutes.

He's way way slower than either of them flying, but he can hover fine.

"Epic read Scion's mind," he says as soon as she arrives.

"And this is something you think Cauldron shouldn't know?"

"Scion seems to think Eidolon made the Endbringers."

...and for the first time in years she is speechless.

He gets a look at her face to send to Maitimo later but she doesn't look like someone who knew that and was covering it up.

"Made them how?" she manages after a couple of seconds.

"We don't know. But this is plausibly the sort of thing Cauldron would be covering up."

"I'd know. ...you have contingencies in case I was covering it up and attacked you or something. You don't need to be invisible, Epic."

Uninvisible Epic.

She looks at him directly, and removes her helmet—

—revealing herself as none other than Chief Director Costa-Brown.

"I was not and am not aware of any way Eidolon is causally connected to the monsters other than this conversation."

He is pretty sure that'd be a big deal if the world weren't ending but whatever. "Oh good," he says. 

"I am also trained in kinesics, and Eidolon is either nowhere near good enough to fool me or so good we cannot hope to outsmart him. I am rather certain he is not aware of any causal connection like that, either."

"Then should we tell him?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Pop.

Bounce to Maitimo -

"I'm not perfect at this and don't like making high-stakes decisions off my instincts about people I don't know."

"But she's telling the truth, right?"

"Think so."

Pop back to Legend and Alexandria. "Who should tell him."
