[Chad32]

With tamora's help, Cody managed to get Myitt onto the ship. "Close the hatch while I find some rope, will you?" He said and went into the back room. He came out with some energy cables and started tying their prisoner up.

Claxter knew that he could trust Cody to have free use of a bugfighter, but he didn't want to tell his Prince what had happened. The only way to get Cody to open up was with his own ship, which he went to after thinking for a few moments trying to remember where he left it. It seemed like a while since he even thought about his ship. Once he was in he began takeoff procedures.

((Claxter is the worst bodyguard on the planet, lol))

Tamora ran to the controls and manually closed the hatch. As soon as the ramp ascended and the doors shut she sighed with relief. She hadn't even known how tense she was, but now that there was an actual semblence of safety her muscles relax slightly.

"Should we stay grounded?" Tamora asks urgently, "Lifting off might alert others to our presence, but staying on the ground makes us an easy target."

[Chad32]

(I know. In my attempts to use those two characters, I made Claxter too lenient for his own good. I might have him do something radical if people start harping on him about not having a big enough spine.)

"I'll get the ship ready to take off, but we should think of a good plan before we let everyone know we have a hostage. I just want my Yeerk back, but I'm sure you want this girl to suffer some? Also should we take Terenia, since she's Yeerk property? Of course we wouldn't be rescuing her. You should think about what you want to get out of this."

[Cobra (Gymn)]

While Tamora and Cody were busy with Myitt I sneaked on board and hid in the back room. ((there is a back room, right?))

[Chad32]

(Yes there is. It's possible that he went unnoticed, or cody just didn't pay much attention. He would assume Bear's on his side anyway.)

[Cobra (Gymn)]

I came out of the back after Cody came in and got the cables and examined the Human they called Myitt. She smelled like a controller. Why would to Yeerk supporters shoot another Yeerk?

[Terenia]

Tamora pauses, turning away from the screen.

"What I want to get out of this?" She repeats. She had been so focused on just getting some sort of advantage that she hadn't really thought ahead. Cody was right, though. For the first time since being kidnapped, she had the upper hand.

"Teresa," Tamora says, breathing out the name slowly, as if it pains her. "She has two options at this point. Die, or return to the Yeerks. I really do not want to return to Visser Three empty handed. I would be much better off with your Visser, I think. However, if I did go back to the Blade Ship with Teresa, then maybe I would be pardoned. She is the property of Visser Three, and he would be quite unhappy if she turned up...missing. Then again, the idea of an extended flight with my insane twin sister is not exactly thrilling."


Tamora turns to look at Myitt's unconscious form, her uncertain expression hardening.

"She, however," Tamora says coldly, "I have no problem with spending time with. In fact, I think I will enjoy watching her suffer."

[Chad32]

"Then we'll try to grab Terenia too. Or Teresa as you call her. Now keeping a morph capable creature contained in the ship won't be easy. Especially if we want her to retain her morph capability. Maybe Sukohn will have an idea. Whenever you're ready, I'll lift off and locate the Prince."

[Myitt]

Myitt, unhearing and only barely feeling the jostling Tara is undergoing, tries everything she can to try and rouse the human body she is attached to.  She curses silently that she cannot reply to Tora. 

<Wake up,> she urges her host, terror spiking through her own body while Tara is blissfully calm.  <Wake up, damn it!>  But her limbs are unresponsive.

Corliss smiles at Terenia, squeezing her hand back briefly.  He glances at the sound of Dracon fire, frowning.  Surely Myitt was back with Ossanlin?  Probably just another one of many fights that this place seemed to attract. 

He is about to say something about investigating, anyway, but Tora's voice reverberates in his head.  Corliss pulls out his comm link.

"Hello, Tora," he says.  "Yes, by all means, nothing is keeping you here.  I'm sure I'll see you at the base.  We might even have a new arrival, the human-Yeerk nothlit girl, Terenia."  He looks over at Terenia and winks conspiratorily.  "It's...a long story.  I'll try to clear it with Reven when I get the chance.  Fly safe, all right?"

To Terenia he adds, clearing his throat, "You know, I was going to feed.  I don't suppose you'd accompany me to my ship so that Reven can meet you, so to speak?  I'll contact him and then take a bit of a swim."

Without waiting for an answer he starts walking off toward the woods where the Skimmer is parked, forgetting about the sound of Dracon fire entirely.

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora lifts her comm link as it crackles to life with the sound of Corliss's voice. "That is exciting news, to have a new recruit," she responds. "I will let Reven know that she may be accompanying you." She hesitates a moment then adds, "I will also inform him of Hadrin's death." Her tone briskly returns to normal. "Have you seen Myitt since we left her?"


Elayne watches Mar carefully, wincing again at the sight of the scar, even though she has seen it once before. Standing, she reaches for her dusty boots. "Why do you say that?" she asks. "Other than... that weird black thing that comes out of the floor. You think he controls that?"

[Myitt]

Corliss lifts up his link and nods out of habit, although Tora cannot see him. 

"Yes, please tell Reven that we have Justin's body and will return soon with it," he says quietly.  "As for Myitt, I haven't seen her since we left with Keshin, but surely she can't have gotten far."  He pauses, and stops walking.  "Were you at the bar?  Did you see her there?"

[KitsuneMarie]

"No, I did not see her. In fact, I saw no one from the incident at Salem's ship," Tora responds into the comm. "Just myself and Dr. Pepper," she smiles broadly at her lame joke, and then abruptly frowns. "Do I read nervousness in your tone of voice?" she asks.

[Myitt]

Corliss considers, then replies, "No, no.  I'm sure they're all fine."  He smiles.  "You and your soft drinks.  You should take one for the road, as they say!"  Corliss laughs.  "Over and out."

[KitsuneMarie]

"I stole a 6-pack," Tora confesses with a smile. "I will save one for you and Myitt. See you soon, my friend." She replaces the comm and continues walking toward her ship, commanding the hatch to open and stepping inside. Once the hatch is safely closed behind her, she turns her attention on the console, which she brings to life with another vocal command.

Tucked in the back of a locked drawer under the console is the old comm link Reven had given her the first time they met. She opens the drawer and she fishes out the unit. Activating it, she says, "Base, this is Tora. On my way home and requesting a meeting with Reven upon arrival in approximately two Earth hours. Over and out."

((I guess Tora's heading out too. Sad times for Marie.))

[Darth Revan]

((Aw, she barely even got to tell her story. ))

Parker saw Gaz was too preoccupied with saving her friends that she forgot to fire at the last guard. The guard aimed at Temrash, since he was the biggest threat. Parker swung his rifle to the left and shot as he sliced his muzzle downward.

Three shots spread across the guard's body. One in his left shoulder, one impacting his weapon, forcing his hands to release it, and one in his right thigh. The guard grasps his shoulder with his opposite hand as he falls to his knees and holds back a yell of pain. All he can do is look up as Temrash approaches his position.

With Gaz's mention of knocking down the door, he reaches back to his grenade deposit and removes one of his custom made SEMTEX sticky bombs. As he reached the door, he slammed the SEMTEX to the door and crouched to guard himself from the blast. He cried out, "Get down!" Seconds later the SEMTEX exploded.

((Gaz, go ahead and determine if the SEMTEX was successful in taking out the door.))
