GESB: Operation Time-Cops

[Chad32]

(Sure. have the Warrior tell his Prince that the medbay smells like piss now because Claxter wouldn't let the prisoner go to the bathroom instead of peeing on the bed.)

[Myitt]

((    Great, now my unhosted Yeerk character is more vulnerable than a potato chip on a beach of seagulls.  Have the Warrior tell his Prince that his prisoner escaped, just so he wouldn't have to use a little Lysol. ))

Tara slowly starts to feel prickling in her hands and feet, and she slowly moves herself into a sitting position, her back against the tree.  

"Ughh," she grumbles, wincing at the pain in her side, and she takes out her Dracon.  With a shaky hand she wipes the sweat from her eyes.  

"Where is the ****er?" she calls hoarsely, trying to turn her head.  "Alic, are you all right?" Sparks fly in front of her eyes and she closes them, swallowing down nausea.

[Terenia]

"Great, thanks," Zorish pulls himself into a sitting position and stretches, wincing slightly as his muscles ache from the previous fighter crash.

"That way you say?" he asks, pointing in the general direction that Claxter had indicated. He does not wait for an answer, instead beginning to make his way towards the Andalite bathroom.

<Here's hoping our Andalite friend isn't that comfortable in that human body,> Zorish says to Tamora. As he passes Claxter he makes his move; a quick, forceful thrust with the back of Tamora's elbow, aimed directly for Claxter's human nose.

[Alic]

Alic was tempted to just start firing. Likely, though, that some human somewhere heard or saw something.. and they couldn't stay for long. "I'm fine, Tara. You're not. I'll find the creepy crawly."

[Chad32]

Claxter was on guard, and jumped backwards when Zorish tried to elbow him. If he was good at anything, it was combat. As long as nothing startled him too badly like getting his tail chopped off. Unfortunately there was nothing keeping him from landing on his butt, and he fell down. He didn't drop his shredder, but it wasn't pointing at her anymore either.

[Myitt]

"Did we get Sukohn?" she peers out from behind the tree, her side protesting like a very bad sunburn that's had a day to sink in.  Her Dracon is drawn almost up to her chin, and although her hands are still shaky there's a chance she could get a shot out if she needed to. 

[Terenia]

Zorish cursed as his blow missed, but his moment of failure quickly righted itself as Claxter fell.

"Thanks, man, you're a lifesaver," Zorish says with a grin. Not waiting for Claxter to get to his two feet, or to re-aim the Shredder, Zorish bolts from the room. His first intent is to go to the computer and find out where they are, but he immediately realizes that the hatch is still open, a warm breeze blowing in. Hardly believing his luck, Zorish breaks into a sprint, pausing only when he notices a small, portable Kandrona pool.

"Dapsen traitor" he grumbles. He smacks the pool off of the table, "not worth my time rescuing you."

Spitting at the sodden mess on the floor, Zorish runs for the exit.


((yeah, just went back and checked. There was never a post indicating that the hatch was closed))

[Chad32]

Claxter leaped up with horror as he saw Zorish run out of the door. <I'm in trouble.> He said.

Quickly demorphing and ripping his clothing apart in the process, he rushed out. <<Zorish escaped!>> He said, leaving out HOW he escaped. With the process of demorphing slowing him down, Claxter wasn't sure if he would make it before Zorish found adequate cover.

from the bushes, Sukohn saw someone running from the ship. He wasn't sure why, or who it was, but he couldn't afford to give away his cover yet. Hopefully everyone would turn back towards the ship, leaving their backs to him.

[Terenia]

((Chad, check the post where Zorish escapes. I edited it slightly.))

Zorish streaks out into the hot, desert sunlight, not pausing to catch his bearings. He knows that he has limited time and that at the moment his salvation lies within the crowds. He appears to be in a wooded area - a park of some sort. He ducks in among the trees, weaving so that his trail is hard to follow, and heads in the direction that he thinks is most likely to lead to the main part of town.

[Alic]

<<Are you ****ING KIDDING ME WHAT THE ****?!>> She knew someone must go back.. and someone must stay here. Tara was in no conditon to go anywhere yet. <<I'm heading back. Find the jerk and blow him up, I'll find Zorish. Tara, you'll be okay. Keep ya posted!> Alic kept her shredder drawn and ran the same path she took back to the Mirage. She was too far to tell, but swore she saw something flashing through a couple trees. She took her chances and ran in the same direction she saw movement, hoping it didn't just happen to be someone innocent.

[Myitt]

"Uh huh," Tara replies to Alic, facing the opposite direction behind the tree.  She watches with some shock that Zorish is sprinting by some distance away, running through the trees like her life depended on it.  Which, upon consideration, Tara figures it probably did.  

She sucks in a steadying breath and raises her Dracon, hoping she's doing the right thing.

TSEEEEEEEWWWWW!  The red beam lances in Zorish's direction, but Tara curses...the distance and the angle...it might've been too late.

---

Myitt begins to sense something is very wrong when she feels a good deal of vibration, usually the sort that meant someone bipedal was walking very close to the pool.  

Are they back, already? is all she has time to wonder, before her entire universe is thrown upside-down.  Fear stabs through her as she feels a rush of air, and the impact of the cold metal floor.  She lies in what little is left of the pool water, writhing helplessly on the ground.

[Chad32]

Claxter knew Myitt's pool had been upset, and she was probably lying on the floor, but he couldn't stop to help. <<You had better hope I don't find you, Yeerk. I'm tired of playing nice Andalite because my new Prince is more tolerant to your kind. You want to play this way? Just keep running and hope I don't find you!>> He said privately to Zorish.

[Terenia]

<Run! Runrunrunrunrunrunr uuun!> Tamora's internal dialogue, combined with the adrenaline coursing through her body pushes Zorish forward. He catapults himself through the trees, ignoring as branches smack his face and twigs entwine themselves in his hair.

He can hear the sound of pursuit, whether it is actual or imagined, and that pushes him forward, arms pumping as sweat begins to bead on his forehead. Suddenly, from nowhere, a searing light blasts near him, missing him entirely but slicing through a nearby tree branch and knocking it to the ground. Zorish stumbles slightly as he attempts to leap over the fallen branch, losing precious seconds as he regains his balance.

[Chad32]

Claxter keeps running, now with full speed from his Andalite form. He cuts down whatever branches are in his way, and leaps over any logs or large stones. He also fires a few shots, thouygh he doesn't see Zorish clearly yet.

Sukohn listens to the spectacle, and wonders if it's safe yet to come out and take a few shots. If he doesn't, the prisoner might not escape. He looks around the bush he's hiding behind to see if anyone is looking away from him.

[Alic]

Alic was suddenly worried for her friend. How did the yeerk get away? Myitt had been completely helpless. <<Claxter where is Myitt? Is she okay?>>
