“Yes, please.” Calypsa sips her tea, and looks down at the floor.
-
“If only he knew what it would cost him. Ulysses became the leading general of the Resistance… but Polyphemus… the monster…” Calypsa sheds a tear, coughing and hesitating.
-
“The Polypheman War… Named for the maniac Polyphemus who lead the opposing army…” The room darkens slightly at the mention of his name, and Calypsa shudders. “Ulysses joined the Rebellion against Polyphemus. He became a leading general…”
-
Calypsa nods again. “Of course. When he first came to our Universe, he took on the name Ulysses, and settled on Earth… waiting for whatever it was he came for… He married a woman named Penelope, and had a child named Telemachus. He loved them dearly… and then the war came. This was 2000 years ago. Surely you’ve heard of it, the first Great Interplanetary War, 500 years ago. We called it the Polypheman War at the time.”

Calypsa looks at Faye, her face growing dark as she stands up. “You DARE count your loss, you stupid girl! YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND LOSS!” Calypsa stops. “Not yet…” She looks at the others. “Where was I?”
-
Calypsa nods, and begins. “Odysseus is an extremely complicated individual, and extremely old. 17 Million Years Old, by my estimates. I don’t even know most of his past… But he came from an alternate universe. The Nameless One brought him here… for a purpose not even I understand.”
-
Calypsa sighs. “Where to begin?”
-
Calypsa looks at Faye, and says, “My dear, you need help. You have at least 37 screws loose. These ‘scum’ are all that you have left. Well, somewhat. Your family isn’t exactly dead… But we will get to that later.” Calypsa sits down at the table, sipping tea. “Feel free to pour yourself some and sit down. This is a long story…” Calypsa sighs again. “And I can’t tell you all of it.”

Calypsa sighs, shoves off Jack, and walks back to the kitchen, pulling out a pitcher of herbal tea. “You want answers?”
-
Calypsa shoots Jack with a sedative. “He always was this ancy. He’ll calm down. He needs his sleep.”
-
“Half-sister, my dear. Now.” Calypsa leans on Jack and Rose, smiling a fake smile, not of sinister intent but of smiling through pain. “I know this is a shock to all of you, but you all need rest. There are rooms down the hall.”
-
Calypsa’s eyes flash back at Faye. “You have dark thoughts, my dear. Dark indeed.”
-
Calypsa raises an eyebrow at Jack. “I was never his wife, and please do not speak about him. Don’t! And I work for someone above the Aetheress. I work for the Nameless One.”

The figure removes her mask, letting loose her hair. She is the figure who haunted Odysseus in the pillar and the old ship on the Dark Straits, except slightly older but by no means very old, more like early 30’s. She looks tired, and answered, “My name is Calypsa. I’m a Council Agent, and you will learn more about me in time. Oh, and also… I’m Rose’s half-sister. And I’m here to help you.”

At the end of the hallway, the cockpit opens up, and a masked figure sits at the controls. She turns around, holding a pistol in her hand and pointing it at the others. A voice filters through the mask, “Hello, dears. Welcome aboard the Fury.”
