Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

Claxter wasn't sure what he meant for mental resonances. <I'd just like to be able to hear them speak. Being a Human controller, Corliss will speak vocally. Terenia, though in a Yeerk body, is a nothlit and will use thought speech like Efaen.>

[Terenia]

<<She won't kill us,>> Terenia says, although she hesitates slightly in her step. <<At least, I don't think she will.>> Nervously, she glances over her shoulder. Efaen still has the expression of a glorious martyr, but she does not look as though she is preparing to strike.

<<Almost there,>> she turns back around to face forward. <<Not that being in an enclosed space with her will be any better. Sorry, man, but you are simply not fast enough to avoid that tail.>>

[RAFrukh]

<Acknowledged.>

We followed the residue until we read heat signatures 155 feet ahead. We proceeded another 10 feet. We recognized the outline as Efaen's. Then, we waited for thought-speak and acoustic resonances.

Mar gestures behind him slightly and states with a pleased look on his face, "...that is my connection to the greater Mass. I am...in an awkward position as of late. But it is still not something you should trifle with. My Andalite friend may have a few tricks up his sleeve as well. We only seek a clear explanation, warrior. That's all."

Mar glances at Ossanlin with a nod, muttering <Was that alright?> as quickly as he can. He winces slightly. Telepathy while charging gives him a headache.

[Nero's Fury]

Okaru nodded and turned to take a break outside the bar.

[Terenia]

Terenia rounds the corner of a ship and the Skimmer comes into view.

<<Alright, time for one of us to think up a brilliant plan,>> she says, approaching the hatch. She taps into Mike's memory, finding the bit of knowledge that will tell her how to be granted entrance onto the ship.

"Open exterior hatch," she says loudly, followed by the correct code. The computer registers Mike's lilting British accent and the hatch opens. She waits for the ramp to descend, feigning patience. In reality, she is incredibly nervous; something she does not want Efaen noticing. A glance behind her shows that Efaen is waiting somewhat less patiently, her main eyes staring straight ahead and tail twitching ever so slightly.

Salem took Temrash's arm and turned it over, careful to avoid being cut by Jagill's blades. He took the tiny vial and pressed it against his forearm- the white liquid drained out of it quickly and into Jagill's bloodstream. Temrash should end up feeling nothing more than a slight prick.

"Here you are. You're all set. I should let you know that in rare cases, people have reactions to the nanites. If you start to feel sick, let me know, and they can be deactivated and removed. My communicator is perfectly capable of receiving Yeerk transmissions, so contact me if you need anything."

[Myitt]

<<How the hell are we going to get you out of my head and Corliss back in it?>> Mike demands.  <<The Andalite girl behind us is watching our every bloody move.  We'll have to leave him in there, and for God's sake don't let her in the pool room.  The quarters in the back are too small for her, anyway.  I hate the idea of sleeping on this thing with her on board, Terenia...>>

[Terenia]

<<I know, I know,>> Terenia says in frustration. She ascends the ramp, the tell-tale sound of hooves letting her know that Efaen is following closely. <<Is the communicator connected to the pool still? I can't remember if I turned it off.>>

She opens her private thought-speech to include Corliss, keeping Efaen out of the loop. <<Corliss, we're coming back on board, but don't say anything. Efaen's with us and she thinks I'm you.>>

They cross the threshold into the ship's bridge. Terenia stands there for a moment, at a loss. What now?

<Well?> Efaen's voice hits Terenia like ice chips. <Are you going to contact your leader or not?>

<<Contact Reven?>> Terenia squeaks internally to Mike. <<Me? I can't do that!>>

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne laughs. She doesn't know who Salem she thinks he is, but it's probably not the best idea to burst his bubble. If he assumes she is more powerful than he is, maybe that will help her remain safe.

And, even though she doesn't think anything Salem has to offer would be of any more use than the joke books, she can't help but ask, "What kind of information are you looking for?"


"Boy, you guys sure are marching along at a nice clip," comes Illim's voice from behind Efaen. He strides up the ramp and gives Terenia and Efaen a jaunty little wave. "Hello again. Just making sure you don't leave without me." And that this uppity Andalite isn't too much of a problem, he thinks, not that I can do much without a Dracon.

[Chad32]

"Alright. I will." Temrash said. Since Jagill was recently injured on his chest, Temrash could check to see if it healed faster than normal.


<I don't suppose you can pick up provate thought speech, can you?> Claxter asked Gremyyt. Now that they were close enough to hear, he stood by in case anyone said anything. <Picking up any voices yet?> Peeking around a nearby tree, he noticed they were getting in the Skimmer. This concerned him, but he wanted more information before making himself known.

<Corliss owns that ship, and he has allied himself with Terenia. They are both Yeerks, though Terenia is a Yeerk nothlit who was born Human. I feel Terenia may still view Efaen as her host, even though Efaen has left to be with us. She is possessive that way.>


Derrel wasn't keen on going inside the ship. efaen and Corliss didn't like each other, and Terenia was in the pool in the ship. None of them were exactly inviting Illim in, as far as he could tell. He didn't say anything, though, because he was trying to be brave. If Illim was going to be brave, he'd try to be brave too.

[Myitt]

There's no response from Corliss, and for a moment Mike feels a spike of fear.

<<I...I reckon it's still on,>> Mike says hesitantly, <<but I don't know how to turn the damn thing on if it isn't!  He never uses it, and it...had something to do with the communications array...damnit, I wasn't paying attention!>>

He gives himself a moment to calm down.  <<Terenia, you should give me control.  I'll be fine talking with Reven, if we can even get in contact with him.>> In spite of his best efforts, Mike feels his mental anxiety rising again.  <<Hurry up, she's waiting for us to say something!>>

[RAFrukh]

We heard a voice, <It is Efaen...>

We relayed the communication to claxter, <She is saying: <Well? Are you going to contact your leader or not?> >

[Chad32]

<Hmm. Corliss belongs to the Yeerk rebellion. I don't suppose they're trying to get Efaen to join the rebellion. If they do contact their leader, I'd like to make sure we can hear the whole conversation. Should we risk getting closer? I need to know exactly what they're planning, in case I need to relay the information to Prince Ossanlin.> Claxter said.

[RAFrukh]

We processed this new information, <We may be able to broaden the reach of our holographic matrix to shroud us in a hologram of the immediate area.>
