[Gaz]

(So sorry about vanishing! There was a bunch of rain where I live yesterday. And when there's weather like that, our internet doesn't work. So I couldn't get on at all.)

Gaz looked confused. "What the heck is goin on? Could've saved a bunch of trouble by speakin up sooner, ya know."

Gaz took a second to pull her hair back into her ponytail, which had been coming out.

"We need to do something," Andromeda said as she rose to her feet. "The longer we take to act..."

"I know," Gaz replied, "we owe it to the captain. If it were any of us, he'd do whatever it took."

"I just don't understand why we were left," Andromeda commented, very confused.

"The way I figure," Gaz said after some thought, "was that Fletcher's a CG turncoat. They'd naturally want to get a hold of him fast. Asda was a prominent doctor who apparently designed some of the technology the project uses, and she was selected to work on the project before she rebelled. Those two know too much for the CG's comfort. Morgan...well, he was their prime specimen. I reckon one of the very few to survive the full blown change and thrive. Can't imagine they would let him go lightly. I guess they put a higher priority on them than us right now."

"Well that sucks... about your doctor missing that is, and the others, too. I'm gonna call over one of my soldiers, if it's not going to upset y'all too much."  Rayker tried to determine the extent of the injury.... No internal damage, thank goodness, but the bleeding was bad.

"Charlie, we need you and Lennan over here with his medpack! Tony, Jackson, go check on Riley..." Rayker didn't want to give up hope on Riley just yet. Wester crumpled in the dirt. "Wester? Wester? Carson?"

"I'm here, Sarge... I'm gonna make it." he replied. But Wester....

Lennan and Charlotte finished tending to the fallen soldiers' wounds; they'd stopped the bleeding and cleaned the area. For Rayker and Carson, that is. Riley didn't make it, either. The Beta squad had always known the risks, had always known they wouldn't all live through everything, and yet had always been willing to fight on. Now they were down by two loyal soldiers. How would the team handle it?

"Well, uh, since we're kinda new here, do any of you know who to ask about...." Rayker gestured towards Wester and Riley. I really doubt whoever runs this joint has plans of what to do with a dead Spinosaurus....

(((Is this way too much drama for people who've been on world for maybe an hour or two? I don't know about y'all, but it's really making me depressed writing this... This might be a gruesome solution, but don't shredders pretty much disintegrate matter on contact? Like a Dracon, but painless? )))

[Darth Revan]

((It depends on what setting the Shredder is set, but yeah, it can disintegrate matter. I have to say, your commander is talking very calmly for someone who's bleeding out.))


Parker ignored the commander and rejoined Andromeda and Silver. Gaz came back over and began theorizing about their next move. Parker looked to Gaz and said, "You're a captain yourself. Can't we take Morgan's ship and track them down? If the commander back there was truthful, his crew should still be alive. Thor could take care of any other functions necessary."


((Sorry for not responding to Trey Teach. I got caught up. ))

Thordon waved his head from side to side, looking left and right alternatively. He sighs as he says, "Yes... but no. She is too an Anaron, however she is still only a sorceress; and a novice one at that. She barely survived puberty; but she did indeed survive. Her command over our Element is lower than the average Anaron. I don't know, perhaps it was my complete command that attracted her, or maybe it was her struggling and perseverance to live and do what she could that made her desirable to me. "No, I am the only ascended being in my entire species. There is no other.

"But she is my 'partner', as you put it. Do you have anyone back where you're from?"

[Gaz]

"That was going to be my next suggestion," Gaz said. "So, if you're in, come aboard quickly. We got no time to waste. I can't stand to think what they're doing to them up there."

Gaz turned and raced aboard The Cursed Pride towards the bridge. She didn't wait to see if anyone was following.

Andromeda went to follow Gaz as well.

[Midnight_Huntress]

¤high pain tolerance?¤

Silver listened to them as she tried to stay focused. She had almost regained her breathing regularity but she was still weak. "We should....be able to find him if not using.....the ship then his aura....." She said. "Give the ship his aura.....it can trace......his aura if peogrammed right...." She mnaged to get out.

[Chad32]

Temrash saw Gaz making for her ship, and jumped down from the tree to follow. He didn't know where Morgan, Asda, and Fletcher were, but he hoped they were ok.

[Darth Revan]

Parker picked up Silver and followed behind Gaz. His motion detector showed friendly movement. He looked to his right and saw Temrash heading in their direction. He gave him an acknowledging nod, continued into the ship and settled in the bridge. He sat Silver down in a chair that seemed harmless. He buckled her in and put his hand to her head, stroking her hair. He looked into her eyes and said, "I don't think computers can detect something as spiritual as someone's aura, babe."

"Babe", he said the word "babe". It kind of weirded him out. He'd never thought he'd say it to anyone. What was even more odd was how natural it felt saying it. Like he'd called her that his whole life.

He lowered his head a moment in thought before standing straight again and asked Gaz, "So, Thor, or no Thor?" He opened his hand and Thor stood up tall awaiting her response.

[Gaz]

Gaz thought a moment and then said, "Could use all the help I can get. I've heard of this Desmond Morelock. He's a tricky guy, as you saw. He managed to take a whole ship full of experienced pirates by surprise. You don't get to the sort of position he's in on accident."

When Gaz walked on the bridge area of the ship, a crew member turned in their chair and said, "The CG ship hasn't even left orbit yet."

Gaz looked mildly confused. "Hasn't left orbit? What's he playing at?"

[Darth Revan]

Parker nodded and Thor bowed. Parker walked to a console and placed his hand on its face. A moment later, Thor's voice echoed throughout the bridge, "Engines on-line and warming up. Raising shields and readying armaments. Captain, you may take the helm."

Parker turned and asked, "Does Morgan have any homing devices on him? You know, incase something like this happens?"


((Gaz, go ahead and just shout orders for Thor. He's extremely fast. Expect anything you ask to be done in seconds if not faster. Unless of course the ship itself takes longer, like charging cannons and such.))

[Gaz]

Gaz thought a moment then said, "He's got his comm with him. That's if Desmond didn't have him searched. If not...than maybe some of the hardware in Fletcher would give off something suitable?"

Around the ship there was a certain atmosphere. It was apparent that the other members of the crew were itching to get the man who had taken the doctor, one of their own and the captain.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She shook his head. "You're thinking of letting the computer to do the work. You use someone who can detect.......auras and then....direct the.......the path." She told him.

[Darth Revan]

Thor responded to Gaz's out loud thinking, "After analyzing Fletcher's underlying code from my scan of him earlier, I did notice something oddly redundant. It was, what I theorized as a status marker, letting the person to know how their mechanical health was; but after further analysis, I found it also can serve as a beacon. At his 'death', the beacon wasn't working, that's why I didn't notice it at first. I could use that code and scan for it. It's your call though, Captain."

Parker sat next to Silver, his usefulness was in battle strategy and muscle. This was Thor's time to shine. Being cooped up in Parker's armor for so long with nothing to do but scan nearby life signs and determine threat analysis must've been maddening. Now he could spread out all throughout this ship and work on whatever he wanted to his heart's content.

Parker replied, "You can't Silver, you're too weak. You need to rest. You overextended yourself helping me with that squad." He brushed the backside of his hand along her cheek, "Just let them do their job. We're gonna need you later on."

[Chad32]

Temrash stood by them, listening. Morgan and Fletcher had been kidnapped. Probably Asda too. "It is suspicious that they haven't run yet. Are they trying to use the others as bait? Or perhaps they're doing something else that we don't see. That makes me nervous."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver frowned but she knew he was right. She leaned her head back and gave a deep sigh. She knew she was weak but this was her father and friends. She had to do something!

[warren_bearclaw]

(((so... who's not in the ship? Is there anyone still on-planet? I'm confused with so many people....)))
