"Quill, we understand that you're upset because of Thanos taking Gamora, but sitting and listening to the same song for hours is not going to help you!" Lapis pointed out.
''I'll feel better!" Quill pointed out.
"You won't until you stand up from that seat and do something!" Jasper stated.
"We lost Gamora because of you." Quill said, with his eyes not leaving Drax.
"We lost Gamora, because you would not allow me to seize the moment!" Drax stated, before gesturing towards Lapis, "She was the one who was holding me to the ground with her water magic!"
"What did you just say?" Lapis asked, clearly taken off the guard by Drax blamed her for holding him away from Thanos with her water chains, "We had a chance to suprise him but you wanted to attack him the moment you set your eyes on him!''
Drax scoffed at Lapis reply, avoiding her angry expression as he looked at Quill, "What do you care? You tried to kill her!"
"She said I'd be saving the universe!" Quill yelled back.
Mantis, who stayed away from the entire argument suddenly spoke up, "I would kill either of you to stop this blinking yellow light.''
"Blinking yellow light?" Jasper turned her attention to the Guardian who stayed silent for majority of the argument.
"Please, don't tell us that it's what I think it is." Peridot said, as she hopped off the table, onto her disc and flew over to where Mantis was sitting, to check what this yellow light was, "Oh my stars... It is what I think it is..."
"What blinking yellow... the coded message channel?" Quill said, walking over to the screen as Peridot nodded her head in confirmation.
"How long has this been on?" Peridot asked Mantis.
Mantis didn't reply to her question, as Quill looked down to look at her, "Mantis, a blinking yellow light means someone sent us a secret coded message. How did..." His head shot up as he pointed at Drax, who now stood by Jasper's side, "This was your job."
"It was his job!" Mantis repeated, pointing at Drax.
''But..." Drax said, looking down confused, "It's yellow. And you said 'if it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.' Those were your orders.''
Jasper looked at him, wanting to know if he was serious or now, and Lapis, was now angry at him for different reason.
''I wasn't talking about the coded message channel.'' Quill pointed out.
"There's... twenty-two important secret encoded messages..." Peridot spoke up as she was pointing at the screen, "Over twenty messages that could have help us..."
"And instead we were just sitting her for five hours, listening to the same song for five hours..." Jasper stated, with anger in his voice.
A beep came from the machine, as Peridot, "Oh, great. Now twenty-three!"
"Peridot? Can you read them to us?" Lapis asked as Peridot nodded her head.
"Who's Nebula?" was the first thing Peridot asked after opening the messages.
"It's Gamora's sister." Quill told her as he looked over at the messages to read them. A moment after yelled out, happily, and it seemed like he was going to freak out because of it, "Gamora is alive!"
Peridot continued reading the further messages Nebula sent them, "Thanos is taking her to Titan!"
"It must be his home planet." Lapis stated. The name of this planet was Titan, and everyone called Thanos the Mad Titan, so it was pretty obvious to her.
