[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin continues to train his weapon on Salem, allowing the human's snide comments to roll off his veneer of command.  <And you're an enemy of the worst kind, human.  One who professes innocence, who says he's done nothing, yet acts behind the scenes, orchestrating everything according to your own will.  Lies and deception appear to be your staples.  At least Keshin there doesn't try to hide the fact of what he is behind some sort of self-serving deceptive facade.  He doesn't feign innocence when he's responsible for causing trouble, unlike yourself.  If you really want Keshin to survive, I suggest Corliss and the human girl...>  Ossanlin nods towards the direction Tora had walked off in, <Take Keshin to his ship.  Corliss would have a much easier time reading Myitt's analysis and he knows the area better than you do.  Then you can stay here and we can have a little chat while your best friend gets cured.  Who knows what sorts of future-tech you have hidden up those sleeves?  There's no way I'm letting you and Keshin stay in the same place at the same time.>

Ossanlin arches his tail and begins to lash it back and forth in typical tail-fighting posture, his shredder still trained on Salem.  <So, what do you say 'friend'?  Do you want Keshin to survive or not?  At this point it's up to you.>

[Darth Revan]

((This is awesome, I'm not sure if they're gonna survive or not. ))

Parker finished checking his weapons. He slammed the mag in his Battle Rifle as Gaz spoke up about docking. He stowed the weapon and knelt behind Silver, grabbing her shoulders, gently forcing her steady. He lowered his speakers' volume output and whispered, "Your doing great babe, just a little longer and you can rest."

He reset his speakers and snapped to Beta squad, "You three, remember, deploy your shields after Temrash, Gaz and I have gotten off the shuttle." He looked to Dara, "Stay by her side as much as you can." He looked between Gaz and Temrash and nodded his head, "Well, here we go again." He stood up and withdrew his Battle Rifle once more, ****ing it and taking the safety off.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Salem raised an eyebrow at Ossanlin and allowed a slight smirk to form on his face. He was wondering what it would take to get some cooperation. "Put the tail down, Andalite, of course they can take him. She's staying with us, though," he said, pointing at Terenia. He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, speaking just loudly enough to be heard by Ossanlin. "But if I hear that you've gone back on our little deal, I'll show you exactly why your pitiful little race needed help from me."

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin continues swaying his tail back and forth.  <This isn't a deal...Salem was it?  And I try not to lie every time I transmit a thought...>  Ossanlin lets that implication hang for a moment.  <And you're certainly welcome to try to overcome me, you might find yourself somewhat surprised if you do.>

Ossanlin turns a stalk eye on Corliss.  <Corliss, would you mind?>

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Dara nods and unholsters his Dracon focusing for the coming fight.

John respond, "I'd help you but if you friend was the dinosaur he might not fit in my cargo area. So I'll try to help you."

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora, having heard Ossanlin's end of the conversation clearly--not to mention Myitt's shouting--from where she had been hiding behind fifteen feet of foliage, emerged from the trees and gave the War Prince a nod of understanding. One of her shoe laces was now untied, but otherwise she looked just as she had before.

She walked up the ramp of Salem's ship and holstered her discarded Dracon on the floor, checking to ensure its power level was still set to stun. A moment later, she was back outside, watching Corliss and Myitt, waiting for any countermands.

[Myitt]

Myitt stoops down to pick up her Dracon from where Joanne had convulsively dropped it.

"Sending you the coordinates," she calls over to Corliss, who looks up suddenly.

"What?" he says bleakly, looking from Myitt to Ossanlin.  "Oh.  Yes, bringing Keshin to his ship.  Of course."  He clears his throat and climbs shakily to his feet, holding his head.

"And Tora's coming with you," Myitt supplies.

"Right," Corliss says, squinting a the ground.  He heaves a sigh.  "Right.  Reckon we should go, then, before the expiration date passes on this one."  Corliss walks up to Salem and sizes him up, still wiping at an eye.  "Hand her over, then, we don't have much time to waste."

He casts a sour glance at Terenia while he places a hand on the chair-like device Keshin has been placed in.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver gave a slight nod to Parker, it was all she could manage. She appreciated the steadying grip. She just had to hold out until they said to let go. When they did she was sure she was gunna drop like a rock.

[Gaz]

Gaz took a deep breath and said, "Ok, Thor should have been able to get a map of this class of ship off the computer. From here it's pretty much a straight shot. But in case we get separated for whatever reason they'll be down the corridor, take the 2nd right. It'll be the door with armed guards out front."

Gaz adjusted the armor under her shirt and pulled out her gun, making sure it was primed and ready.

"If we can't make it back to the shuttle," Gaz said, "Not far from the room the three are likely being held in is a room with links to the transporter. It can send us to The Pride and then the shuttle computer can be wiped."

Holding out her gun, Gaz reached for the button that controlled the shuttle door and pressed it.

[warren_bearclaw]

".... well, maybe you've got a tractor beam?" Jackson answered. Would they simply have to leave Riley where he lay?

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin sends a private thought to Tora.  <<Thank you, I would feel better knowing that one of us is along.  You seem to be rather impartial to Keshin, which makes you perfect for the job.  I appreciate it.>>  The "us" in his sentence clearly denoting the andalite race.  He keeps his shredder on Salem as Corliss walks up.  <Thank you Corliss, I appreciate it.>

[Chad32]

"They don't seem to have learned the first time, so let's really hit them this time!" Temrash said as he went through the door after Gaz opened it. The hallway was clear for now, meaning Silver's efforts seemed to have worked. Rifle in hand, he made his way as quietly as possible down the hall. So far he didn't hear any footsteos.

[Midnight_Huntress]

So close....... So close...... She wanted to keep up the illusion so no alarms were set off. Just until they were at least on board. Her breathing took on an effort as she grew tired. Her arms hurt, her head was pounding, her body weak and her energy almost sapped. She wouldn't give up now, she made it this far.

[Terenia]

Terenia picks up her weapon and slowly pulls herself back to her feet, following Salem with her eyes as he moves. She is still pale, her face clouded with confusion and uncertainty. She stands there, watching Tora and Corliss pair off to follow Salem, who still has Keshin's unconscious body, unsure of what to do. When Salem says that he wants her to stay with them, she recoils back a step. She has no intention on being anywhere near him, whoever - whatever - he is.

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora's turns to look at Ossanlin, her eyes narrowing. It is precisely those kind of assumptions that irritate her. Except for every two hours when she must demorph, and during the times when she sleeps, it is easy for her to forget she is Andalite at all. Not that she feels human, either... she is simply a member of the rebellion, somewhat outcast by her own but generally accepted, thanks largely to Reven, Myitt, and Corliss's acceptance of her.

She follows the latter, responding to Ossanlin now that she is looking the other way, <<Please keep Myitt safe.>>
