Her mother and sisters had also joined Lycoris after being disciplined (beaten the shit out of) by Delilah. Lucius listened to everyone as they told him what had happened and all the changes. Mostly it was just an expansion as more people were added and more houses, workspaces and other things were built accordingly. The Lycoris grounds had adjusted to the size of its occupants.

A lot of the soldiers under the Vanguard division had become adept at underwater fighting.
