Oh no, not the Helmacrons again!

[A ghost you know]

*watches the Helmacron ship vanish with Al* Come on, Aldrea, we'll have to leave the car and see how far we can get on foot. Man, being this small is really a nuisance! At least the Yeerks are thoroughly distracted right now...

“AAAAaaaaaagghhhhhhh!!!!!” Pip, Pip pip, Pipip, Pippippipipipipppip pipipippippiii.....

(((For those of you who didn't know, Helmacrons make an odd popping sound when heated over 110 degrees)))

Many of the Helmacrons sizzled and burned as they fell through the air. Only a few that were smart enough (or perhaps 'lucky enough') to crawl on the underside of his arms made it to his shoulders. “Blast his putrid eyes out!!!”

Dear Prime Minister, our ship has taken damage. Apparently, the Helmacrons are quite upset about something, and they've mistakenly fired upon us. Don't worry though, we'll be alright.... Even though it made us sad, we felt it was necessary for us to immobilize them with our static ray (it scares some of us a little bit...). We are all so sad that we had to resort to such desperate measures... *sniff* Maybe we can bring them cookies and hope that they will forgive us.

"Aaaauuggh! Make it stop make it stop make it stop!" I yell as I drop the ship and cover my eyes with my hands. The pain to my tender facial areas make me claw at my shoulders and around them, though whether I'm doing a lot of good or not is unclear in my current state.

[Aldrea Hammee]

Let's do this, Ghost. Um, hey Ghost...is there any way you can fly? Cause this'd be a lot easier if we got airborne, but  I don't want to leave you on the ground.

[A ghost you know]

Yeah, I can go airborne easily. Can you, though?

[Aldrea Hammee]

Indeed. I will morph sparrow, since these woods are a little dense.

(Story time. Aldrea was desperate to be able to morph again. After the Yeerk war ended, I posed as an about-to-be-freed Controller and gained access to an Escafil device. But instead of having my "Yeerk" gain the morphing technology, I touched it myself. It's pretty nifty.)

[A ghost you know]

Don't you have anything bigger? A sparrow would be microscopic in size, since the Helmacrons decreased the baseline size of our DNA, including your morphs' DNA.
It would be a really nice thing if you could acquire a new morph right about now, since that would be normal-sized, but I don't see anything useful right now. The chaos probably scared any animals away.

[warren_bearclaw]

As a result of all the turmoil (aka, scratching), the remaining Helmacrons of the Star Striker crew are squished. Whether or not there are any still hiding inside their ship is undetermined....

The Asteroid Doom lay dysfunctional on the forest floor. None of the weapons, or any other technology, were operating. Not even the tractor beam... (((hint, hint, Aluminator...  )))

The Flowered Pride landed gently next to the disabled Helmacron ship. Though unnoticeable to a regular sized person, a group of tiny Rondecrons proceeded from one ship to the other, carrying what appeared to be small baskets.... They were shaped like peanuts and had many thin, stringy tentacles that they walked with.

I walk around, feeling a little antsy. When I try to morph into a bird, I shrink even more. Paniced, I demorph and wonder where Al is. "Maybe I can find him first." I hear Aldrea and Ghosty talking; while they talk, I need to find Al. "AL! Where are you?"

[Chad32]

I calm down a bit after that, but don't pick up the ship again for fear more Helmacrons might come out. They don't have Al anyway. Instead i start looking for the other ship.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Hmm... the tractor beam finally dropped me. Man... ouch. I think I only fell about a foot, but that was terrifying at this size. And... what the heck are those? You know what? I'm not dealing with this now...

*sprints away and begins climbing a tree*

[Josh (J)]

I decide it's about time to call in....the Visser. He needs to know about the situation. However, after calling, it turns out the Visser is busy sunbathing or whatnot. *sigh* Instead, I call Chapman, who sends two back-up over. How will they find me? I'm the size of an ant, by George! *suddenly sees Al climbing a tree* I think I should go after Al...*runs over*

[Aldrea Hammee]

That's true, Ghost. We'll go with the biggest flying morph I have, an eagle. *morphs*

[Aluminator (Kit)]

*sees Marvin running up*

Hey! It's good to see you! What the heck is going on out there!?

[A ghost you know]

Which way do you think we should go, Aldrea? I'm inclined to follow the path that Helmacron ship was taking, but they may have changed direction.
