As he reenters the bar, Temrash hears thoughtspeak coming from...Mar? He looked Mar's way. The guy was still messed up. He went to his side, and smiled friendly. "Myitt is the last person in this bar that I want to hurt. Don't expose yourself to Crayak on my account. I think I may have problems working with people nowadays. I'm a little ashamed." He then placed the container at the edge of the bar, where it originally was, and went to Gaz's table.

"I still require a ship, Captain Gaz."

Mar mulls over what Temrash has said, and decides to trust him but to be extremely wary. Trusting someone has never led to anything good in Mar's experience. On the plus side, it seems as though that form of communication is open to me. I don't feel winded at all. I should remember that...if I remember anything at all when I'm sober again.

Mar lays himself down below Kara and relaxes once more. Yeerk medicine is excellent. Perhaps he does not have long to wait before he can walk properly again.

Alic went around the outside of the bar, happy that they were abe to stop the potential threat. It was time to relax. Maybe get some drinks. She morphed into the human female who she knew so well. The group of men would think she's a joke in her pink spandex and no shoes.

Shrugging, she walked inside and up to the group. "What are you doing, and may I join?" A grin spread across her face.

Kara's sobbing lessons slightly as Mar makes his presence known, although keeps her face buried in her hands and does not move until she hears the bar door swing open once more. When she glances up and sees Temrash replacing the tupperware on the bar a feeling of nausea rolls through her, turning her skin an odd shade of green.

Mar glances up at Kara's peculiar skin tone and looks worried. Is she sick?

"Are you...do you need to go to the ladies' room?" he asks. "Or.."

Mar glances at the tupperware himself and mutters, "Or are you frightened of the Yeerks? Do not worry. In that container your old master poses little threat."

"I know," she whispers, barely audible. One hand snakes up to her shoulder, where Mar's hand lies and she squeezes it for comfort, "I...think I'll be okay," her voice is wavery, and a few remaining tears are wet on her cheeks.

"Breekan's right, Temrash," says Corliss as they gather around him outside.  "We simply can't let Ardiss leave here, after having been inside Tara, knowing what she knows."

He remains relatively quiet while the others go back and forth about Ardiss' fate, and as he walks with Ossanlin and the others back to the bar, he mulls over what has transpired.  He had missed part of the conversation, too.  He approaches Temrash as he sets the little impromtu pool on the bar counter, following him to where Gaz is sitting.  "Temrash, what plan do you have?  If you have an alternative to killing Ardiss, I'd like to know what it is.  We could attempt to imprison her, or put her in stasis, but I have a sneaking suspicion death would be more merciful, and certainly more secure for us.  Still, I don't relish the idea of having to kill a helpless prisoner."

"Oh, Jesus, please don't cry," Myitt tells Kara, grimacing, looking up when Temrash walks back in with the little pool. 

<Well, that was anticlimactic,> Tara says dully. 

Myitt sighs.  "She can't hurt you now, Kara.  I'm a friend.  My name is Myitt, remember?  Tara and I...and Mar...we all want to help you.  But you can help us by telling us how you got here.  We want to make sure Ardiss can't hurt anyone again."  She can't help but feel touched at Mar and Temrash's conviction to her well being, and she smiles a little at poor Mar, who is clearly drunk and still in pain.  Myitt looks down at her Dracon, which is still in her left hand.  "Do you still want this?" she asks Shal, holding up the gun, its nose pointed down. 

((Don't worry Chad, I think you're doing a great job, as long as you're having fun that's all that counts.  All of our characters are pretty screwed up here, in their own ways, anyway :) Yeerks with the audacity to befriend their hosts, exiled interrogators, children of Crayak, an Andalite female with a penchant for jager, a moralizing Andalite War-Prince who wields katanas, Mar...don't even get me started on the bar itself... x3 ))

"I have a memory wipe device." Temrash told Cordiss. "Whatever she saw in Tara's head can be removed. As for a viable host, I can look into some things. Until I find something, I can place her into a better machine with access to entertainment, and communications. I can either find a nonsentient creture that could be useful, or find a voluntary host that hopefully wouldn't mind switching Yeerks. There are other options. It is true, as you may have noticed that even though I appreciate anyone who gets along with their host, that my concerns are slightly aimed more towards my own species than others. You may take that however you'd like."

Myitt's smile at him is almost more than Mar's usual apathy towards people can take. It's already taken a few blows in the form of Kara and Ossanlin. The strange blue wing-like projection briefly reappears on his right side, brighter than last time. It then vanishes and Mar winces, closing his eyes hard, trying to think. (The alcohol isn't exactly helping with that.)

He reopens them fairly soon and states, "Kara...your circumstances may help. But they should give you...time. It shouldn't be long before the medicine kicks in, and then...I may be able to help you."

He gives a bit of a nod of thanks to Myitt.

"I'm more concerned over an innocent victim than the creature who has enslaved her, regardless of their species," says Corliss coldly.  "Especially a creature who is skilled at psychological manipulation, is probably seeking the reacceptance of the Empire, and knows the closely guarded details of our militia.  Memory wipe devices are hard to come by, even we do not have one at our base.  It's useful, but it is the sort of equipment an Imperial brainwasher would have."

"Help her, how, Mar?" Myitt asks quietly.  "You'd better focus on getting yourself back to normal.  What this girl needs is a very long vacation, and lots of therapy.  She needs to go home, although I only wish that could be an option.  The type of mental damage a mind incurs after being neurochemically and physically subdued for so long...I know that sort of thing all too well."

<Hey, what're you sayin'?> Tara snaps good naturedly.

"Well enough to know the prescription," Myitt adds blandly. 

((Haha Patty, let me know what you think, I'm interested in seeing anything with machines turning into robots :) ))

"I realise they are hard to come by, but I used to be a Visser of the lower numbers. I had many, many connections. I still have some. But seeing as I have one already, and only need to go get it, makes the fact that they're hard to come by irrelevant. And I realise what her profession was. Do you know the kind of things Vissers do? Interrogation is more of a footnote in our repetoire. Not a main heading. And I think I turned out all right. Jagill too."

Kara nods again and, despite herself, her stomach grumbles loudly. The noise makes her smile self-consciously.

"Thank you," she says, forcing herself to look into Myitt's face, despite the panic that she is trying to suppress. She takes a deep breath and leans her head back against the wood of the bar, closing her eyes and continuing to breathe deeply.

"Then you've both got a few serious screws loose," says Corliss, shaking his head.  "I am aware of your former connections, and I hope they're only going to be used for the benefit of everyone in this room."  He exhales, collecting his thoughts.  "Can you bring the device here, or is it attached to your ship?  As I'm sure you're aware, memory erasure is extremely delicate, especially considering the complexity of our central nervous system.  We could easily wipe everything she's ever known, or accidentally shut down her motor nerve net, or misfire neurotransmitters meant to disrupt long term memory into her osmosis nodes.  That'd be nice and quick, alright."

Repeating her brother's earlier offer, Myitt asks, "You want some food, kid?  This place does make a pretty mean Velociraptor burger, I have to admit.  Maybe something simple, like protein soup, or I dunno...carrots or whatever.  Hell, you need probably like a hundred ice cream sundaes, I bet."

Mar chuckles. "She probably does need something to eat. I wonder how long it has been since...Aldriss has allowed her food on this run from the Empire. Do relax dear, and...try not to worry too much about the fate of the Yeerk."

Mar glances at Myitt and states, "The entire time I've been here...you've made statements that suggest you think someone's job description also describes who they are. This is foolish. First, it makes you a...hypocrite. You were a former Imperial. Second...it does not explain why I chose to help Ossanlin...or even you. I've found that morality is...self-serving and situational with most everyone. The girl has no future with nothing to grasp onto. I'm merely trying...to give her a handhold."
