The Sharing: Rebellion From Within

[Myitt]

"Yeah, be thankful we aren't the Skrit Na," Myitt murmurs wryly.  "Ever seen E.T.?  They ain't E.T."

In the main control room of the base, where a big circle of green glowing holoscreens hovers, a bored attendant taps at one of the screens.  His host is a young man perhaps in his mid-20s, and although the alert has already gone out that an evacuation might be necessary, he doesn't seem too concerned.  These kinds of drills have happened before, and there was of course no telling when it would be the real deal, but not sleeping for two days on watch will make anyone a bit lax in attention.  But what he's doing is of particular importance to the underground band of rebels--he's one of the people in charge of scanning the surrounding system for approaching ships, attempting to detect cloaks, and allowing access to the base's entry tunnels.  A sort of high tech alien air traffic controller.  A different sort of controller. 

No sign of anything yet.  The Yeerk, whose name is Nilkar, sits back and rubs his eyes tiredly.  All around them people hurry back and forth, gathering documents, loading cargo, making arrangements for those who can't fight to leave the premises. 

A girl next to him taps him on the shoulder.

"Hey Nil, don't fall asleep on us, we're on alert, you dummy," she chides, smiling.

"Yeah, I know, Sethrin," says Nilkar through a yawn.  "But I can't see a damn thing out there.  I think Rev's just gone on another false alarm paranoia alert."

The girl named Sethrin shrugs.  "Suit yourself, it's your funeral," she says lowly, eyeing the screens.

((Just a little aside in case morf wants someone to try and contact ^__^))

((say what?))

[Myitt]

((If your character wants to try and fool them into thinking he's a rebel, he can contact them.  If not, it's just a little random aside with some control room people ^^))

[morfowt]

((ah...gotcha. I was thinking of doing something else, but I'll leave that option open.))

[Terenia]

Proliss was on her way to her quarters when a sharp ringing interrupted her internal argument. Sighing, the Yeerk lifted her communicator.

"Yes?"

"Proliss, we need you in the control room." Came the response.

"Aye aye, captain." Proliss said, giggling slightly. She returned the communicator to her pocket and changed directions. Now that she paid attention, there did seem to be quite a bit more rushing around going on.

<Are you worried?> Afari asked.

<No, of course not. Someone up top probably is being paranoid again.> Proliss said. She rounded a corner, almost running into Reven as she did so.

"Oh, excuse me!"

(I think at this moment that I will be dropping this rp since i'm so behind and don't have the stamina to catch up with it....however I may come back at a later time, possibly with a new char if I do )

[morfowt]

((then what are we gonna do about your current char?))

[yrkd88]

((Hmmm....maybe she got called on to another assignment? Well, bottom line is feel free to continue on without me. I feel bad enough holding up people as it is, since I myself have been on the receiving end of that. Sorry for any inconveniences I have caused.))

[morfowt]

((hmm...ok...mind if I kill her then? I have a way to make it fit)

[yrkd88]

((Hmm...yeah, kill her if you want  lol...i know i'm baaaad))

[morfowt]

((right...just have to fill in a few holes here and there...and I will have to take control of her for a while))

[yrkd88]

((That's fine...knock yourself out ))

[Myitt]

((Mwahaha, Brittany...dooming your poor characters is so baaad  ))

Reven stopped short, eyeing Proliss up and down.  He exhaled.  "Proliss.  Looks like everyone isn't quite sure where they're going today," he says mirthlessly, running a hand through his ruffled hair.  "You know the drill.  We're on alert, get to your assigned station at Control and help clear some of the people who can't fight out of here."  He started to hurry away.  "Tell them landing dock five, we're going to use as many ships as we can spare.  And Proliss," he added, ducking around a lumbering Hork-Bajir carrying sheets of black metal, "make sure you're armed."  He headed off down the hall toward the docking bay.

"Well," said Corliss cheerfully.  "Shouldn't we be happily scurrying around trying to fight off the bastard who followed us here?  Or at least running for the hills, eh?"

"Not in your condition," Myitt snapped. 

"Aw, come off it, mate," Corliss replied.  "I can still fight--ahhh..."  He winced, the movement taxing his arm too much.  Shizuo stepped over and offered him another dose of the sprayable painkiller.

"Right," Myitt smirked.  She turned to Tia and Aurora.  "So.  I think the best thing would be to get Aurora on a ship out of here.  This is no place for an unarmed human refugee."  She smiled gently at the young human girl.  "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

[traycon3]

"Just point me in that general direction. I'll make sure she gets there in one piece. Oh, and speaking of unarmed humans--Do not give her a weapon. Oh, come on, Norpo, you know that--I know that you're an excellent shot when you're aiming with your left arm. I know that you can't hit the broad side of a barn with your right. So, don't give her a weapon unless it's absolutely necessary." He patted Aurora on the shoulder. "C'mon kid, let's get you out of here."

[Terenia]

Proliss nodded and continued her path to the control room. She was growing concerned now. She was used to the paranoid drills and alerts, but everyone seemed more on edge than usual. Casually, Proliss reached around to make sure her Dracon Beam was still firmly holstered to her hip.

Aurora didn't move, her eyes darting from one person to the next as the conversation took place.

"Where....where will it take me?" She asked quietly.
