Rhea.  They were harmless enough, jut trying to follow their lust.  I looked at the daughters of Odin and Artemis.
    I pulled Artemis into a hug.  Something I rarely ever do, showing a shameless public display of affection like this.  I blame the Human and Vanger influence on our society these past few eons.  Then I whispered in her ear, “You were right and we were fools not to listen to you.  I am sorry sister.”
    She nodded with a tear rolling down her cheek. Then we all walked with Arina, her shield bubble easily moving through the locked out secondary shield and pushing the love-struck crowd aside as we headed back toward a wind rider and the Central Spire.  We needed to get to father's workshop to determine what to do and how to get our people back.  Kroth!  I do not know how to fight this and it just frustrates me!

Chapter 4 – Nano Phage
    We saw medical wind riders flying toward the main gates to assist the wounded and dying outside the gates and to transport them. The Einherjer stuck outside the gates had their emergency transponders which would allow them through the shields I had on lock-down, isolating the Einherjer that were under Rhea's influence.
    The four of us Valkyrie gasped in unison as a momentary burning shock went through our nervous system.  I blinked and a message from my Verr scrolled across my vision.  “Invaders have been purged.”  Invaders?  They had no more information for me when I inquired.  Their ability to explain concepts to us is very limited.  I just took it in stride, my nanites are my friends and wouldn't do anything they didn't believe was necessary.  They saw me as their charge, and their single-minded purpose was to protect me.
    I opened my mouth to convey this to the others, but they all had that smug look on their faces that let me know that they were aware of the conversation I had with my tiny protectors.  They always tease me about how my thoughts and emotions are too loud and often bleed through the link we share.
    Artemis was just looking between us and made a frustrated sound. “None of that silent communication stuff.  You Valkyrie can be frustrating at times.”
    I grinned at Kat.  Ha!  I can share with someone at least! I replied, “The Verr gave us a little shock and informed me that the 'invaders' had been purged.  Whatever that is supposed to krothing mean.”
    She regarded us for a minute then turned to the door as we landed.  We went sprinting into father's workshop.  He was already there with the central holo-display active and no less then thirty virtual consoles in front of him.  He was monitoring everything.  I looked at the Star Killer on the screen, it still hadn't moved from its location just outside of the spacial distortion.
    I turned to father and croaked out with pain evident in my voice, “How many?”
    He took a deep breath and flicked his finger and one of the virtual consoles swung around the holographic display and settled in front of me.  I paled.  Rhea had taken seven Asgard men and three Asgard women.  Twenty-three Vanger men, two human males, and almost two hundred Ragnarok men.  The Ragnarok seemed the most susceptible to the Titan's pheromones.  That was a sobering thought knowing how deadly the Ragnarok were.
    But what made a vice tighten on my heart and ice start flowing through my veins were the casualty reports.  Thirty-seven Ragnarok dead, five injured, one human dead, seven Vanger dead with one wounded, one Asgard woman dead and one male who lost his legs but will survive.  All of that violence and death was just incidental damage wrought by the transport beam, and I knew that Rhea didn't even give it a second thought.
    I saw green icons spreading out into the system forming a flanking pattern between the planet and the Titan vessel.  Kitty was forming a net, she'd be in optimum position outside of the Star Killer's weapons envelope just outside of an hour now.  Two Hornets stayed near the planet by
