Lands in the cargo hold, and places the limbs in with the rest of it.
He waves down, beckoning for the paladin to join him.
When he sees his confusion he yells
"You're the Champion of Justice. Just think about being up here and you will be!"
"This may sound cold... but he has survived here far longer than we've even known about the mountain. Given the way he fights, he's probably quite safe." Oneiro doesn't sound convinced though, and looks back at where they came from for a moment.

"I can try to contact him. Lycans are natural telepaths. Like firebirds. Some can only use it in animal form, but some of us can use it regardless. But I can't guarantee that I can contact him. The distance may be too great."
::Pyry? Pyry, can you hear me?::
There is a cool mental 'touch' in response to Jeran, questioning and faint. If it's Pyry, he's too far to get anything intelligeble from.
"Cool. Wish I could do telepathy. Cool that you're better with it than most people too." :)
Tybalt sit down with his needles and yarn and works while more knowledgeable people work on their own things.
"He elected not to come with us. We can go back and check on him, or press on, be done, and take him away from this place."
"If all else fails, I can teleport back to check on him. I would prefer not to waste my magic, but if we have endangered him with our prying into this mountain, then we ought to take responsibility for his safety." Tyrrin says simply, with a slightly shrug of her shoulders as she waits for Jeran's results.

Yrrin nods somewhat uncertainly and appears beside Krays, then looks down with slight horror at the fact he had left the person he was carrying behind...
"Why?"
and reappears scooping her up in his arms....
"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?"
Nala has been overseeing the remaining healing staff in the cafeteria while trying to coordinate resurrections for those killed in the blast to the best of her ability. She looks more than a bit frazzled.
"While I can appreciate how torture can lead one to bad places, even I think her response is...excessive," Nala said crisply and with a bit of a grimace. "Pettyfer Grace, so help me, if you start blubbering again I will slap you! Now give those bandages to Lolo and go fetch more hot water from the kitchen," she snapped at one of the healers. "Honestly, the students are handling this better than the infirmary staff..."
She took a deep breath. "I'm not really sure how I landed in charge of this mess. I'm not even the most senior staff member left. But the rest are not what you'd call good in a crisis. Apparently night staff are not up to snuff compared to the day crew. And healing is...problematic. I manage alright with the children, but these aren't children and I have to touch people to heal them...at least if I'm organizing everyone no one questions why I'm not casting healing spells. And what I really need is some way for people to check up on others without disrupting what we're doing here as far as trying to treat the wounded and bring back the dead. So any ideas you might have, I'm more than happy to listen to suggestions."
There is a cool mental 'touch' in response to Jeran, questioning and faint. If it's Pyry, he's too far to get anything intelligeble from.
"He's too far for me to communicate with him properly. He's alive and he heard me. I didn't get any sense of distress. That's about as good as I can get from here."
"I can run interference for people coming in here to check up on friends or loved ones, and provide some security. I can take names of the folks people are looking for, and either find them and get an update, or ask them to wait. Will that work? There is four of me at the moment..."
His clones suddenly look like they are dressed in scrubs...

and reappears scooping her up in his arms....
"Oh right..."
He ports down."Sorry, forgot you can't take people with you..."
"Hand her to me and go on up. I can actually cast teleport too."
Assuming he does so, Krays will take the girl, then cast Greater Teleport back up into the hold.
"Captain!? Will this 'freeze' thing harm a living being?"
Midori doesn't make any move to break away from Hew - neither moving her hand away, nor backing away from his whispering directly into her ear. She does have to surpress a giggle at one point though - for some reason the whispering was ticklish, even if he didn't touch her. "Oh? Like a hug...?" Midori asks curiously, still whispering. "Why would she want something like that? It seems a bit strange. She barely knows him, ne?"
"Kinda like a hug but more sideways? It's harder to explain than I thought." He silently continues. "I-I-I co-co-uld show you." He stamered while still trying to be quiet. His face started to change to a redish color. "I don't really know. I don't try to read her thoughts often. They just bleed into mind from time to time."
"Ya. I can swim really good. I lived on a island with water all around."
In the elementart wing in one of the rooms Sun is setting up some blankets as he is careing for a few of the younger kids while thier parents are dealing with the crisis.
several of them seem to be getting tired so Sun is looking for cots or whatever is used for nap time.
As Phaezeriel sits motionless, a trickle of his silver blood appears out of the corner of one of his eyes. After ten minutes, Phaezeriel stops manifesting and opens his eyes, looking down at Kitty. His thoughts convey a deep fatigue, ::I am sorry Kitty, whoever did this to you is very, very good. The only thing I could learn is that your memory was most likely being modified as the event was taking place. This is a very difficult thing to do. I will confer with Professor Nix and Lady Ryleh and see if either of them can shed any insight. I am sorry I was not of more help.::
grim flys up to the ship after everybody teleported up there.
Mel looks up from her work, she seems to have been taking her time. with everything.
oh hey, thanks for finding time to talk. first I guess I wanted to show you this. Now I don't know how much you know about these things so, sorry if I sound like I'm lecturing or something.
she shows him the circuit and points out the tiny switches.
I found these switches on this security interface board. and they aren't on any of the others. and well. these switches typically are used to bypass or override logic sequences in these circuits. now since there was an attack that bypassed the security, any enemy would know we are going to fill any gaps we had. so the best way to infiltrate again would be to create a new loop hole.
I was concerned that these switches could be a back door introduced to the system by a sabatour. also with the ability of the enemy to time travel who knows whaen these switches were added.
I thought you should be aware of them, I can disable them if you want me too. of course I could be totally wrong about all of this and am just a little paranoid.
Mel seems to be avoiding the problem of earlier trying to concentrate on her task, possibly trying to make up for everything by just focusing on her work.
the concern seem trivial and she should be able to handle it but, Mel want to show him she is trying her best.
Jiminy examined the switches. "Yeah, you're right. She must have compromised the design when she hacked the network...good catch. You seem to have the fix for this under control...you're very talented at this."
He sighed. "Which is why it's such a problem that you're also unreliable. Look, walking out without saying anything...in an emergency situation...we need to be able to rely on each other when bad stuff happens. That's the only chance this school has for survival. Te stuff we're up against is way more powerful than us. This needs to be the only time this happens. So...you're getting a detention for this, but I'll give you a choice about how you serve that detention. You can report to detention on Monday or you can serve your detention with me tomorrow. I need shuttle pilots and ground crew since we have to finish evacuating the firebird sun tomorrow before it goes boom. This is especially helpful to me if you know how to pilot a shuttle. Your call...you can do whatever busy work they come up with for you or you can help save lives."
"Hang on a sec...did you guys say a twelve year old on a giant owl?" he asks, putting his hand to his ear where he presumably has some kind of earpiece in place for the radio. "Did he say his name?"
"I can run interference for people coming in here to check up on friends or loved ones, and provide some security. I can take names of the folks people are looking for, and either find them and get an update, or ask them to wait. Will that work? There is four of me at the moment..."
His clones suddenly look like they are dressed in scrubs...
"That would be perfect, thanks," she said with an only slightly strained smile. "And should cut down on at least a little of the chaos."
Yrrin follows the instructions,
"That is such an odd drawback... why exactly can I not bring others....?"
In the elementart wing in one of the rooms Sun is setting up some blankets as he is careing for a few of the younger kids while thier parents are dealing with the crisis.
several of them seem to be getting tired so Sun is looking for cots or whatever is used for nap time.
He finds a whole cupboard full of mats and blankets. Most of the children seem willing to lay down and rest, but Dara and Chara are both not willing to. Dara it seems is unable to relax and Chara is worried about trying to sleep on the floor. So instead the two are sitting at a table and coloring.
As Phaezeriel sits motionless, a trickle of his silver blood appears out of the corner of one of his eyes. After ten minutes, Phaezeriel stops manifesting and opens his eyes, looking down at Kitty. His thoughts convey a deep fatigue, ::I am sorry Kitty, whoever did this to you is very, very good.

I will confer with Professor Nix and Lady Ryleh and see if either of them can shed any insight. I am sorry I was not of more help.::
"It's okay, Phaeze...thank you for trying. I...I'm sorry it hurt you to do. I...I really feel bad about asking this, but is there any way you can do for Saffire's memory what you did for mine? I don't think it's good for him to remember Michael as the attacker, especially now that we know that was just someone messing with our brains. I understand if you can't do it now....but I had to ask."
Watching as the rush of Krays, Carl and now this Champion of Justice turns into a loading of the enemy into the floating monstrosity of metal and other bits in the air, Anahita, fire bear elemental stares at the craft floating in the air, a massive metal box of sorts.
Anahita's voice, not monstrously loud as she confides in both Fei and Vare, most likely unheard by those now on the ship.
With a bear's frown in flames she adds with a hint of annoyance, "Not a single attempt, save by the armored one's desires to fulfill his greedy rape of natural elements, with my summened assistants help, for profit to any warning or recommendations I spoke either."
Glancing about, she rapidly seems to flare brighter asking, "Are these minions of the Headmaster? This would explain it..." Her voice having an obvious hint of annoyance and distaste in it.
Overall, however, her efforts to restore the destruction complete, eased her fiery display, going from the bright whitish glow down to a more sedate orange red.
Glancing back at Vare and Fei, the girlish tone of the young sixteen year old then says, "I can move with but a thought! Jivana bids you both greetings, boys. Er, those were her words, not my own, and yet, I would bid you greeting as well, Champion of Courage. She wants me to also... Er, no, that isn't-"
It /might/ be the first time ever that either Fei or Vare actually see a fire bear shaped elemental blush, but that /might/ have just happened. "She speaks and projects such things, I have difficulty keeping my own thoughts heard."
She eventually looks elsewhere after regarding the smaller two men from her height while laying down talking to both. Her front left paw idly tapping at the budding with newly growing plants and creatures which do not burn at her form.
She does not flat out ignore Arthur, but keeps her company primarily at Vare's side, and to an extent Fei's, in curiosity primarily.
Jiminy examined the switches. "Yeah, you're right. She must have compromised the design when she hacked the network...good catch. You seem to have the fix for this under control...you're very talented at this."

Your call...you can do whatever busy work they come up with for you or you can help save lives."
Mel thinks for a moment. she still has some reservations on all of this but says nothing.
I never piloted a shuttle before but I am a very fast learner. I guess it would be best to help tomorrow. but please, if you can give me some of your time tomorrow night I have soemthing I really need to discuss with you. but right now isn't the time so I hope tomorrow things will be better.
Mel starts to get to work on the circuit disableilng the override switches.
He finds a whole cupboard full of mats and blankets. Most of the children seem willing to lay down and rest, but Dara and Chara are both not willing to.

Sun gets the ones that are tired off to sleep. then goes to sit with Chara and Dara.
can I color too?
"That's good at least. With any real luck he'll be fine when we get back to him."

"No problem, Melody. Sorry I haven't been able to give you my full attention now..school getting blown up, my mom being sick, getting back from a long day of evacuations to take charge of rebuilding, my sister almost getting killed by a mutant virus, it's all kinda distracting...aw crap," he said, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. "If I pass out go get Fieri...she's the redhead who was in here earlier. She'll know what to do...I may have bent reality a wee bit too much."
"That would be perfect, thanks," she said with an only slightly strained smile.

His clones suddenly look like they are dressed in scrubs...
"Anything, you ask..." he says with a smile
he begins barking orders, getting partitions set up around the part of the cafeteria acting as an infirmary (he'll find earthbenders if necessary), with only two exits. He will watch one exit, and one of this clones another, while the other two act as runners checking on patients and the like. Things should quiet down for the emergency workers rather quickly...

can I color too?
"Of course," Chara said with a bright smile, handing him a piece of paper. "We put the crayons in the center of the table so it's easy to share."
Yrrin follows the instructions,
"That is such an odd drawback... why exactly can I not bring others....?"
He chuckles
"I do not know. It was a decision made by beings far superior to us eons ago. You should see if your patron can give you a better answer than mine did."
"Um... Is there anything i can do?"
roel asks jimany. The monotone is back in his voice, inhuman and emotionless.
"Ya. I can swim really good. I lived on a island with water all around."
"Mrawr...."
A sixlegged cat paws at Sara's hem.....

"That is such an odd drawback... why exactly can I not bring others....?"
He chuckles

So where are we going now?" Yrrin inquires to the dwarf
tarka and jabby wander around, having been left alone (to my understanding) into the infermary under repair.
"Ooh, working people."
she says, a glint of mechivioisness in her eye.
"Aww. Kitty."
She picks it up and puts it on her lap and pets it.
"Do you want to go to the lake with us?"
She speaks cat to it.
"Tarka I think what they are doing is important. . . . ."
The shy little dragon tries knowing that it probably won't change her mind.
"It's okay, Phaeze...thank you for trying. I...I'm sorry it hurt you to do. I...I really feel bad about asking this, but is there any way you can do for Saffire's memory what you did for mine? I don't think it's good for him to remember Michael as the attacker, especially now that we know that was just someone messing with our brains. I understand if you can't do it now....but I had to ask."
At first there is a look of confusion on Phaezeriel's face, then comprehension hits and he takes a small kerchief out of his pocket to wipe away the blood; it is already slightly stained silver. He nods as Kitty finishes her request, ::It is no problem. That is just a side effect of controlling more power than my body likes. Sometimes it is necessary, however. And of course I will help Saffire, that should be quick and easy.:: He holds his hands out to Saffire, ::Come here little one, I will help you, but I must be touching you.::
"Doesn't mean we can't watch. Chip?"
jeez, she eats a lot of chips, now that she figured out how to make them from thin air.
"I guess. No thanks. Chips are complicated."
He jumps up and lays down on the table the are next to.
she eats the chip, then says
"So, what do you make of this place? More or less safe then wandering around aimlessly?"
as she eats more chips, the question seems to mean almost nothing to her.
"I like it. Some bad stuff happens but there's lots of food."
"Alright. So..."
she lays down on jabby's back.
"Now, what's with the complex as of late?"
"Aww. Kitty."
She picks it up and puts it on her lap and pets it.
"Do you want to go to the lake with us?"
She speaks cat to it.
"Bleek" is all it says....
It nuzzles her hair putting its front paws on her shoulder and starts purring like a buzzsaw through concrete (very loud and vibratey)
"Aww. Kitty."

Midori felt slightly gratified that Hew-kun also had trouble pronouncing some of the words in Common. "Don't worry Hew-kun, I know you're not trying to pry." Midori says back, still in hushed tones herself. "Maybe you could show me? I still don't think I understand."
"How you've been behaving. You're depressed a lot, acting like you find yourself unimportant."
"Um... Is there anything i can do?"
roel asks jimany. The monotone is back in his voice, inhuman and emotionless.
Mel notices Roel
oh hey, your here. Do you have fine control of your acid?She shows him her project.
i neeud a real small drop of acid at these points that should prevent those ciruits from being reconnectef
