Xena shook her head firmly and explained, "No. Given the severity of the situation, I've received authorization from headquarters to handle this personally. Anyone from Polaris involved will face the consequences." She added, "We can't let people spread supernatural fears in this day and age. We need to make an example, or others will try the same thing in the future."
