GESB: Cursed Pride adventure

[Gaz]

Morgan was breathing deeply. His fist was covered in minor cuts from the screen, but he didn't seem to care.

"They had her!" he bellowed. "All these years, all I've been through! She was there the whole time! They've had her locked up in that...place all this time! But it can't be true...it can't be. I thought she was dead!!"

Asda put her upper hands over her mouth in shock. Realization all over her face, black eyes wide.

"Oh gods," she gasped behind her hands. "You don't mean..."

"We were too late!" Morgan raged. "We came too late! I had a second chance to save her and....and..."

Unable to continue, Morgan instead swung the fist he had used to slam through the computer into a nearby wall instead. Afterwards he sunk to his knees in utter anguish.

Temrash looked at Morgan, and at Silver, and remembered that he too lost the people he loved. Though he also knew they were dead, as Andalites tend not to keep prisoners like that.

"We might still have that chance. We can find out where they moved her, and get her. You have warriors the likes these people have never seen, and we can make sure you get your wife back."

[Darth Revan]

Parker registered Temrashes oddly timed joke, but didn't react. When he heard what Morgan was saying, he came to know what he was talking about. His eyes too widened with shock. He looked to the floor and said to him, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

[Chad32]

(Did I make a joke?)

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver listened silently as all of this sunk in. She wasn't quite sure what to say, she stared absently up at the ceiling, but her eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness.

~~Going to class night. Graduation is tomorrow, be back on in a few hours.~~

[Darth Revan]

Parker made his way silently to where he had given blood and sat back down. He took Silver's hand in his and just sat there in silence.

((Alrighty, see ya later.))

[Gaz]

Asda dashed over to Morgan and grabbed the hand that was bleeding. Morgan tried to pull away but Asda latched on with all four hands.

"We have to find her," Morgan said, past the yelling stage for the moment.

"That goes without say," Asda replied as she began patching up Morgan's hand.

"All this time," Morgan continued, "she's been alive. If only I had known!" Then, Morgan's voice got threathing, "For their sake...they better not have done anything to her."

"Thankfully those files were kept on the ship's main system and not just my computer," Asda commented, attempting to lighten the mood.

"I'll send someone to fix it," Morgan replied apologetically.

[Darth Revan]

Parker spoke up, "No need. Once we get back to the bar, I have a friend that can rebuild it."

[Gaz]

"I'd appreciate that," Asda said.

"Parker makes a good point," Gaz said as she walked in. "I was in the hallway. I heard everything. Came down once I knew the files were coming in. We need to go back to the bar and re-group. See what Cortex knows. Right now the bar is the safest place until things in the Inner Planets settle after our caper."

Morgan nodded reluctantly. "Tell the pilot to send us back to the white."

"Already did," Gaz replied, "we'll be back in the white in less than 5 minutes. We'll be heading back to the bar full speed. We'll be there in half a day."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver squeezed her eyes shut a moment and a few tears ran down her face. "She has to be okay." she whisperd, latching on to the hope that she would find her.

[Darth Revan]

Parker lightly gripped Silver's hand and stroked her hair, "Don't worry. She'll be fine. We'll get her back."

[Midnight_Huntress]

She gripped his hand in return, but it didn't stop the tears she felt. She only had vague memories of her, and that was it. To even think of having a chance to see her again......She had been told to take it easy, but the emotional stress on her began to make her feel dizzy again.

[Chad32]

Temrash was less optomistic about Morgan's wife. Chances were that she wasn't okay, especially since she was related to the one that got away from them. he didn't voice it, though, since Silver was already a bit distressed.

"As long as she's alive, there is hope." It was the best he could say while being honest.

[Darth Revan]

((A real beacon of hope you are. ))

[Gaz]

"We'll do whatever it takes," Gaz said. "I'm going to go grab something from the dining hall. Capers make me hungry. Then I'll send a message to Cortex."

Asda was nearly finished with Morgan's hand.

Morgan sighed deeply.

"Something's bothering you," Asda said. "What is it?"

"What will she think when she sees me?" Morgan answered. "It's been a long time. I'm not the man I used to be. I'm not even a man anymore."

Asda finished bandaging Morgan's hand and replied firmly, "I don't think that's going to matter to her. What's important is that you don't punch through anymore computer screens."
