Reyna has only begun her wolf morph - the only change so far has been the unsightly protruding of her nose - when all hell breaks loose a second time. One of the Kelbrid attacks Kage and Jim and the commotion that follows breaks her concentration. She reverses the morph, watching with wide eyes as Reli takes out the Kelbrid with ease. Remind me not to make her angry... Reyna thinks, but this thought too is quickly distracted. The sight of Reli morphing a Kelbrid has her, almost subconsciously, going through the catalogue of morphing memories that now exist in her head. She shudders, her stomach roiling uncomfortably. The ship, she scolds herself. A bit unsteady, Reyna follows everyone onto the small ship, doing her best to avoid the rather large pools of blood.
Once they are aboard the ship Reyna finds the nearest wall to lean against and scoots down until she is sitting on the ground. Pulling her knees up she lays her head down, rubbing her temples and trying to make sense of things. She feels almost as if the time since her waking has been a long, convoluted dream. Jim and Kage pregnant...Reli in that awful form...the Pemalites... She went down a mental list of everything that had happened, sorting out what was real from what was a new memory, courtesy of Esplin 9466. Her attention is broken by Shaun mentioning his birthday.
"Shaun..." Reyna says, forcing a sad smile. "Your dad. Before...before he...before we were captured he told me to tell you something." She squints her eyes shut, recalling the dim moment where she had hung between consciousness and unconsciousness. "He told me to tell you that he's proud of you. That was the last thing he said."
