GM:As Reece reasons correctly that the ship was too cramped to fly with Christina, Eddie, Kasey, Jas, Torrence, Reece, Samantha and Vincent, not to mention an unconscious Jethsa, this did become abuntly clear. Jethsa was out cold and Vincent was unable to morph, although the others were free to start morphing smaller morphs and perhaps Jas would morph to Andalite.
Christina instantly began to shrink, her pale colored skin brightening to green. It soon began to pepper with scales, which raced along her changing skin and along her scalp, with her white blonde hair shlooping back into her skull. Within minutes, she was a
Coast Garter snake, wrapped around Jethsa's hoof for stability.
Torrence chose to morph to Salamander, one of the morphs that most of them possessed. She immediately shrank in size, her human limbs hanging grotesquely large until they transformed into salamander limbs. A tail shot out, much too large and likely striking people before it adjusted to her smaller salamander stature.
<Can you see if the ship has some sort of medbay?>
GM: If Eddie of Jas in Andalite morph inquired, they found the sentient mind of the Andalite different than the smaller morphs they had practices. While one would before relax and knowledge would bubble forth at the applicable time, now they were actively searching through numerous memories and education. The closest thing to a med bay would be where Vincent had said Jethsa's fallen comrades are currently.
The ship supplied with a mental diagnostic, three counters with small devices similiar to a laboratory and a small device similiar to the one that had been given to Sam from Jethsa. There were no more Dracon beams, unbeknown to the others, Vincent had taken the only one.
<Computer; Shield status?>
It was disabled earlier. The ship relayed, likely referring to when Jethsa lowered it so that Vincent could board, before she lost consciousness.
<Computer; Weapons to stun, return fire.>
There was silence from the computer for a long moment, then suddenly
TSEEW TSEEW! rang out as the ship fired twice on the woman's position. A scream was heard and a glance at the video monitors revealed that there had been no stun setting, the computer had fired to either side of the woman. Large scorch marks and burned grass surrounded the woman, who trembled, the weapon lowered. Had the ship assumed Eddie's intent?
<Computer. List acceptable commands.>
Immediately several dozen commands were telepathically relayed to the Andalites, from observation to navigational. Eddie chose not to ask Jas's question.
Outside"Oh my God!" A man in a CDC uniform ran up to the woman, who hid the weapons he'd fired with. "What was that? Susie, get out here! "
He enveloped the woman protectively, staring down at the burn marks on the ground.
Within the shipThe Andalites felt the ship request shields to rise and if no one countermanded the ship, shields were raised. The ship also propmted for flight.
The non Andalites felt the rise similiar to an elevator and not a plane, with no sharp incline. The ship rose up from the ground smoothly and silently.
For the Andalites, there was no silence. The ship was requesting a series of telepathic requests while relaying information.
Requests: Desired altitude?
