Tue well mannered robot steps into the room.
The skin tight mesh suit covers everything from it's neck down.
Appearing some hundred feet ahead of where she anticipated the female would get too, Anahita's 32 foot tall figure takes a moment to peer around and spots the massive Mech a short ways away.
Having just arrived by her teleportation, she teleports once more, this time closer to where Krays and Mithros are, as well as the fallen female.
From her height, she peers down at the figure and gives her some scrutiny, seeing if the diseases are still issuing out of her or not.
"Well done. Not a threat in the physical form-- however, her diseases may still spread."
The fire bear feature doesn't speak to the violence of the form, nor does she sound happy or upset at the figure's trashed form.
"We need to secure her, in some manner of suspended animation or self-contained prison, so we can put her else where for questioning. Where did she arrive from and are there others en route?"
Once a round or so of study is complete, still standing tall and such, her features do soften a bit, for a fire bear, and appear to give thought to her next action, perhaps, yet again, preparing to move once more.

Anahita detects no additional viruses coming from the girl.
Anahita detects no additional viruses coming from the girl.
"I will inform the school's defenders that she appears no longer to be a disease threat. Is there a way you can send word yourselves as well to others that might worry? I shall return shortly."
With that said, and apparently not really needed a response, Anahita vanishes-- yet again.
-----
Once more, back at Vare's side, the huge fire bear elemental appears, perhaps 12 to 18 seconds later.
"Vare! She has fallen to the giant construct, or the Champion of Death, if I am not mistaken..." A glance over at Fei and whomever else is near, Yrrin as well, then back to Vare once again.
"She may be pretending, but ... The dire threat may have been stopped. I would not be surprised if she were playing possum, however." Clearly, Anahita is a paranoid person, even in her huge fire bear elemental form.
Then there's finally a smile on her face, in an odd bear like manner, wreathed in flames. "If you all wished to help figure out what to do-- she did have a life pod as well, though I did not scrutinize it much, it may have other threats on it."
This time, however, she doesn't immediately leave, standing near Vare still, burning with the primal element of fire as her body. Thirty two feet in height, but only about eight pounds of weight.
After a wile Carl gets his metal beetle like Dwarf Space suit on, even with it on he can still move 20' and gos over to the tests to check it, before he heads to the Port Pad and sets the location close to where the mech had stopped.

Mel seemed a bit distracted when hermes approached as she was startled by his request.
wha? Oh, its you, actually i need a compete circuit trace on this pcb. Trace these dip switches they seem wrong. They are not on any other security boards and i can't seem to figure the corect configuration.
She glances toward Jimminy seeing if he is still occupied
i wanted to show jimmy but he is pretty busy, i should be able to figure this out on my own
"To minimize magnetic resistance and optimize flow, the wiring should be leading from here and through here. Perhaps a split port was a piece that was destroyed in the attack."
He takes a look at the terminal.
Looking around and seeing most of the heavy labor mechanics completed, Tryko'Sam checks by asking aloud at the slowly repairing infirmary, "Pretty sure that's all I can help with at this point, anyone need my help?"
Considering the mad skills of the others, he certainly knew this wasn't really his bag.
"Would you like me to retrieve any components for you to work with, ma'am?"
To answer Anahita's question, the mech's external speakers transmit the following:
"I tracked this lifepod inbound from outside the atmosphere. It was pretty banged up even before it hit the ground. I did not pick up any other pods on sensors." his voice is a little shaken
On the radio
"Uhh...boss...I...hit her. She's down. I repeat she is down, but not out. Instructions? Do you want me to go see where the pod came from?" he sounds very tired, and very weary.
"Amazing..." all the kobold says. He begins to pick up the pieces that he can find, and cast gentle repose on them, so they do not rot.
Sends Ephebe the following...
::It seems the threat is over, for the time being. This...creature...has been blown to bits, but she lives. It looks as though her body attempted to start repairs, but only sealed off areas to prevent blood loss. I do not know if this is the disease's doing, or if it's a natural occurance for this creature.
However, if you or someone you know has a temporal stasis scroll, I think it will contain and/or preserve her.::
Ace nods at Ryuzo "Yup. Somewhere in Imperial controlled territory. I've narrowed it down to a pair of star systems. Which I realize isn't that helpful, but the power I used isn't all that precise." He says a bit apologetically.
"So we've got some time, then. Keep me informed of any action plan please. It will take all of us to end her threat." he bows to everyone in the room, then goes to find Nala. When he finds her...
"What an odd day." he tells her about the quick battle with evil Vai "The large dragon's threat seems to have been nullified for the time being.
Are you ok? How can I help?"
When Carl and Arthur show up...
"Excuse me gentlemen, but will those suits protect you from magical sentient biological contaminants? If not then it's best you do not dally here. This seems to have been taken care of..." he says indicating what's left of the girl's torso, and the neatly stacked pile of parts "...but I can not guarantee your safety yet."
|
"no the suit does not but I am infused with nanomachines capable of purging such things from my own or someone else's that I am touching, if you would like I could try to see if I could do the same to this... oh my she..oh... can magic and whatnot fix that, cause that's more than a bit outside of what I can patch up unless she's really a construct of some sort"
Ponders that for a moment
"No, I wouldn't want to trigger a defense from the disease at the moment, it seems to be occupied trying to keep its host alive."
Looks at Arthur.
"You seem rather technical. Could you perhaps take a look at the thing she arrived in, and see what it was doing to contain her, and if perhaps it can be repaired or duplicated? That may prove very helpful."
"If her being alive isn't relevant, I would due to the destruction she has wrought, give her peace and death, Champion."
Anahita says this while still a huge fire bear elemental, standing about near Krays once Arthur's come, and apparently, left.
After a brief chuckle though, she adds, "Remarkable how people seem to not be interested in those around them... ah well."
Giving Krays a brief look over, "My vote has been shared, for what she has done or attempted. I'll leave her future to you. There are things I'd rather attend too." With that said, she glances off to where Arthur and the life pod are, teleporting near the center of all the landscape destruction.
Once arriving, Anahita, as a huge fire bear, sits nearby the life pod, out of the way, and appears to ...well, get into meditation.
He nods as the Champion of Life speaks.
"Fair enough. I've been asked to save her if possible. I don't know if this can be done, but I will try to the best of my ability. The key is to seperate the girl from the affliction. If it can be done, you can have the sentient disease for whatever justice you see fit."
:I will be careful, Vai. The Infirmary needs to be repaired in case we fail, though - that job is more important right now. The Champions of Life and...Justice are also coming. I hope that will be...sufficient to the task.:
"We're working as fast as we can, Fei. I still don't know how long it will take before we're even partially operational." Vai says, doing what she can to aid the repair effort - she was not a skilled technician, but she seems to have an almost uncanny ability to work with electrical systems. She handles live wires directly and they do not seem to shock her - or if they do she doesn't notice.
"Amazing..." all the kobold says. He begins to pick up the pieces that he can find, and cast gentle repose on them, so they do not rot.
Carl ports into being next to Krays, staggers a bit then says
A voice comes out the speakers,
"Hello, sorry I'm late, Right, what help ya be needing?"
[Carl looks like this image really dos look like Carl]
The at what K says
"I has force Armor under this plating, if it has mass its nee getting in"
You can see a force shimmer around Carl.
He pulls out a grabber and a bag from the suits mining tool kit and starts picking up bits and pooping them in the bag.
He holds a bit up to Arthur,
"Is this a kidney do ya think?"
Seeing Arthurs face he puts the bits back down.
"ark poor lass has been blown all to bits, this may take a wile"
Seeing them go he says
"All right all go with yee"
he heads off after Arthur

Lang is greatful that the shuttle moved closer. Less distance for him to fly.
please, why don't you land so i don't have to keep yelling. We can sort all this out face to face.
Lang tries to possition himself so the pilot can easily see him
The shuttle doesn't appear to want to come much closer. Lang may sense the shuttle crew's nerves are shot, especially since they mentioned an attack on the school - they are being overly cautious with themselves, even to such a small threat a 12 year old boy might pose to them. "What proof do we have that you aren't bringing reinforcements? Or are going to attack us if we come down?"

Vare stops in the middle of his casting and lowers his hands. There is a smile on his face as he looks at the feet of the giant fiery bear. "What of the disease? Has it's spread been contained? Has--"
With Anahita once again gone, Vare looks to the gathered heroes. "Well, our assistance may yet be needed, if not in a combat sense. Let us go." With that, Vare will cast the teleport to bring the assembled party to the site.
Arthur, once you begin examining the wreckage of the life pod and its attendant stasis chamber, you discover a few things about it. The life pod, though totally wrecked, can yield some of the secrets of its stealth systems which are quite advanced. Aananda and Jiminy, and the ship that you encountered on your way in would likely be very interested to know more about the Empire's stealth capabilities. In addition, the stasis pod is made of a metal you have never encountered before. If you were not sure that it was, in fact, metal, you would swear it was a living organism. It seems to have some way of keeping a subject in stasis, yet conscious.
"ya can tell all that be just one look Arthur? lad-e yee never cess-ta -amaze-me"
Carl looks around to so the others there.
"I... what is a 'pathogen' Hew-kun? I do not know that word." Midori asks, looking over at the people gathering around the Professor.
Hew thinks to himself till he turns to Midori. "Well it's kinda like a flu bug." Hew shapes his hand like a mock bug and starts moving it around on the table. "But there say smaller so small we can see them and using this they attack our bodies and makes us sick." As he mentions attacking the body he has his mock bug hand squirm up Midori's arm to her kneck. "Doctors makes medicines to kill off most of them but some, doctors still don't know how to kill." He has his hand act like it dies and land upon the table.
"Some of the teachers that were studying me and Zilla thought she may have hallush... a trick of the mind caused but pathogens." Hew explains. "Most our age probably don't know what it means."
She looks down at the bear and listens for a bit.
"Cariban says I can do a spell that let's me breathe water. I can take other people but it won't last long if other people come. Maybe we can find him."
"Maybe, but do you know where in the lake he stay? I haven't been there. Caribear doesn't have to come. It can just be us." She gives Sara a brave smile.

there are two more owls each with a single rider. They are a few hours behind me. Now if i intended harm, would i tell youthis and i gave you plenty of time to warn the school. Now i am laanding and when Simba is rested , i am going to continue to the school becuase my friend Sara sent for me
Lang flies back down and lands next to Simba. Then tends to his owl's needs

Mel looks at the robot.
i guess i expected a little more than you are programed for. Tell ya what can you find me two more circuit boards like this one.
Mel goes back fnishing the project she is on. Glancing toward jimy to see if he still remains busy.
"So what now, I ask cus i really need an ale, its been hell of a day"
"I apologize. I do not understand. Was the purpose of asking for my diagnosis of the problem not to obtain the answer? I am confused."
The LCD screen of his face displays a question mark.
"If I use it then we have a couple hours to find him. The lake isn't really really big maybe we can find him in time."

arthur looks up from his work and notices, apparently for the first time what appears to be a bear made of fire, he opens his mouth, closes it, opens it again only to close it again and he returns to his work looking for an onboard computer.
Wile standing still next to him, his hes mining environmental suit, Carl looks at Arthur as he clocks the Bear in the room, the one Carl has been deliberately not looking at it all this time.
"Not just me then? you sees that ruddy great big fire Bear as well, good I was thinking there for a wile I was going a bit lopped, I best go see what it wants"
Anahita, seated on her fire bear haunches, appears fairly motionless roughly twenty feet from the life pod's impact point . The sheer destruction surrounding it, flattened trees and thrown earth, a painful reminder of large objects and re-entry velocities.
From the point where the bear is seated, one thing is obvious: the plants and life forms centering at this flaming figure, outward, along the ground in a slowly growing radius, appears to be restoring the fallen grass and smaller plant life.
Any minor aches, or soreness felt by either Arthur or Carl, after some moments of her meditating, dim and fade as if minor positive energies wash past them, invisibly, from her trance like state.
A few moments into the meditation, Anahita rises up and casts a series of spells, which produce numerous events. First and foremost, earth elementals spring forth from the very earth at her feet.
Directing them in their native Terran tongue, she has them rush forth and aid in righting the fallen trees, which along with their powerful strength, and her next casting, which causes the very ground to shift and sprout plants and vines, working in harmony to right the fallen and reset their roots.
Adding to this, control of the very winds, assisting the elementals while she runs around in fire bear form, moving with mighty strides. In fairly rapid and short order the newbie Champion of Life, coupled with her magics, elemental assistance and meditation, soon restores the forest near the fallen life pod impact to its somewhat usual self.
Where the fire bear feet do tread, small plants rapidly bloom.
edit:
Carl seems a bit wobbly on his feet as he clatters over to talk to Anafehita as she passes, he seems to get better o his feet close to her, he stands his full 3'2" and wide.
"Here Bear down here, Names Carl by the way, Carl IronFist, A blessing ya meet ye, you the forest guardian then? sorry about the mess, we none done it, just trying ta fix it, and thanks for da healing, I feel a wee better now"
Says over to Arthur
"Looks like its here ta help, I think its the forest guardian, be bloody elves here in no time you mark me words, bloody prancing around skipping and all that stuff they do with Tambareens!!"
he Shudders
"Hippies the bleeding lot of em"
Arthur finds the onboard computer. Or what is left of it. If anyone can get any information from the shattered piece of junk, it would be called a miracle.
Anahita's life senses are acting peculiarly. As she becomes more attuned to the different forms of life around the impact site, she is getting, for lack of a better way of describing it, radar static and a periodic radar ghost. As she completes her restoration task, about the time that Arthur has extracted as much of the computer as he can find, she is fairly certain that something about the life pod is disrupting her ability to sense life forms.
Carl says as an Earth Elemental passes [in there own tough]
"Doing a grand job lad-es, when ya done with this I may have a mining opportunity coming up, pass the word along to any that want work. Tell Carl Ironfist of the Promethium is looking to hire soon"

As the restoration portion of her efforts are concluded, fire for speed, wind to help move as if unseen hands, and the very earth's living forces assisting with replanting and adjusting the ground, Anahita eventually will return to about where Arthur and Carl are standing some fifteen feet from the actual life pod.
Speaking in the 'common' tongue, but clearly with an odd accent (think Farsi speaker speaking English), a female voice comes out of the fire bear elemental saying, "That object is unnatural-- and it causes my sense of it to waver. I recommend it be destroyed or removed from this world, immediately. It might be detected by those that are not of this planet and seek it-- and all those on the planet to continue what I have just wrought. Are you done with it?"
Carl looks at the big fire bear,
"strate to the point, I like that, thing is, we've been told ta secure it so they can work out the pox its released in some girl that ran off ta town, So wee need it a bit for others ta work on, if that's all right with you err forest guardian."
Looking at the others working on it
He hopes that helps
