[Cao Pi sits up rather suddenly, because that is a hell of a lot more than he's heard about the spirits before. He had arrived well after the flood in which the spirits first appeared, but he had read up on it in Athena's timeline.]

I had a feeling it might be so. No wonder they couldn't even rescue their own kind from CERES without our help. [harrumph] Maris would get his wish a lot faster if he would actually help, but that implies that they can. I'm willing to guess at this point that they don't have any way of sending us home.
