The loss of Epsilon had hit her hard, harder than she'd honestly expected and Carolina had left the army headquarters as soon as they'd landed, disappeared into the wilderness of the planet.

Because she needed the time, the space to try to cope and seeing everyone else wasn't going to do a damn thing to fix what was going on inside her head. She'd never coped with loss well and while she planned to return, there were things that she needed to handle on her own.

And her temper wasn't something she wanted to inflict on the rest of the residents, but she'd at least left word she'd be returning.

At some point.

Still, the temples provided places for her to at least look over, sometimes even use for shelter if they were accessible.
