igni, hearing this over the radio, really wishes he wasn't busy tending to Mel, so he could smash that moron's skull in...
>>wait... Why do i care?<<
"I'm not going to break it," he fiddles with it pressing buttons
there are only two buttons on it but as you fiddle you notice that it slides open.
inside are a series od tiny dials with odd markings on them and what appears to be a diplay that also has strange symbols diplayed.
when it slides open, the tip also opens to reveal a secondary crystal emitter.
also once you slide it open the buzzing stops and the data pad ceases to update.
Aananda hesitated, examining the woman standing before her.
"Are you capable of moving from this SIM room to SIM room six? I don't know yet if you can be trusted, but any insight into Tryko'Sam's problem would be good right now. If not, I suppose I can bring him here instead...but either way I should go quickly. I have him completely immobilized at the moment and I can't imagine that is the slightest bit comfortable."
Looking around, Maya considers and then says "I believe I get your concern, but, I think I'm not 'plugged' in," she quotes with her fingers and smiles.
"Let's give it a shot? I certainly don't mean to stray. I know better than to wander around a highly sophisticated complex unattended. Plus, I'm fairly sure you'd rather I don't try to hack or interface with your computer without permission going forward. I'd prefer we start off on the right foot, considering I have you to probably thank for the chance at life.. Well, this again."
She wanders over and smiles, looking at the door.
Royston asks in voice."Miss Jones says you not agree to mind scan done telepathically. But I would like to to place you wish's on record, Student Tryko'Sam if I may. What are your wishs in regraded to a telepathic scan of your cognitive brain functions as offered as a mean to help determine any outside manipulation or influence on them. Would you disallow all such telepathic scans under all circumstances?"
He says this in a polite even tone.
"With all due respect, Neo guy, I got mind touched by the nice lady in glasses, who's actually treating me as if I have rights, even while tussled up, even after I yelled at her. Sorry about that. You? You just wanted to mind jack me or something with your book without asking /my/ permission-- so, no thanks. You can keep your creepiness as far away from me and my brain as possible. I don't know you, and I'm sure you trust me as much as I do you... Offering to brain tamper me while a prisoner, while I was right here? Kinda not cool. What's with the formal manner anyway? You the thought police or something? People's private thoughts are just that, private. You got questions about what someone's thinking? Just ask. Works great. I find it terribly useful, all the time. I'm not going anywhere, like I said and I've got tons of time to kill, trust me."
Since Tryko'Sam is still bound and immobilized, he uses the room telepathic link provided to share his thoughts vocally.
He certainly isn't going anywhere, and given his tone, he doesn't seem to like Royston.
"With all due respect..."
Since Tryko'Sam is still bound and immobilized, he uses the room telepathic link provided to share his thoughts vocally.
He certainly isn't going anywhere, and given his tone, he doesn't seem to like Royston.
Royston hears this out with out reaction.
"I should have given my name Student Tryko'Sam, I apologize for my oversight, It is Professor Royson the new Energy and FireArms Instituter. Also thank you for stating on record your wish's it removes any obligation my part to aid in the way I offered. It is clear you wish not to have your mind tempered with in the way I offered."
Royston mods
"and your observation that I was some form of 'thought police' was a very astute observation. That function is precisely what I was made to be. Manufactured and imprinted with the skills and powers to be a law enforcement agent in a culture where some thoughts where legislated as criminal. I know in the past when I have told this simple fact to others from different civilizations and societies they have found this knowledge about me... emotive. But the civilization from whence I came deemed this to be normal and right. How ever I have spent quit some time away from my civilization and have lived in numerous societies. In that time I have done what I think you would feel to be truly abhorrent actions. The one I think you fear is inspecting, Altering even Wiping the minds and personality's other. I have done this some where willing, some where unwilling. However In this case, I mealy asked Miss Jones if she would like me to try and block your mind from all emotions for 24 hours. If she had agreed then I would have then sort your consent. She said no, and so have you, that is an end to it. I would say that all the staff seek to do is help when a Student is in trouble, nothing more nothing less. That is all I was trying to do, just as now I am trying to take your mind off your confinement with conversation.
Royston stops and waits

Rena looked vaguely annoyed when Miss Jones once again suggested that Rena had fallen under the influence of a demon. She was still standing nearby to Tryko'Sam, as if she were his guardian angel of some sort.
The angel girl does step towards Miss Jones though, willing to submit to her examination, as she could feel the eyes of the girl with the ears practically burning through her. Besides... Miss Jones /was/ very pretty. Rena really wouldn't mind if the enchantment Professor were to touch her... though those thoughts receed after a moment. Still, very beautiful. "I'm ready." Rena says quietly, somewhat proudly, standing there with wings partially open, keeping one ear open to listen to the exchange between Tryko'Sam and the... man.
Maybe Mithros heard the comment, maybe he didn't. He doesn't comment further, but his instructions over the radio to other pilots become...mirthless. No more sarcasm, no more upbeat comments. All business, until Jiminy takes back over. Then all you'll hear is a "Roger" or "Copy that" when approproate.
"I understood what you meant. Why is it that you can't mix with other races? I assume the gene pool is a bit shallow at this point..."
He dons a white apron to keep his magic shirt clean.

ok here is a little chart as to what could happen when Arthur radomly adjust the settings and activates the device:
this is only to be opened when and if the event occurs:
** spoiler omitted **
the device has many more functions I just plopped some at random on the list
random selection time? random selection time!
"I'm not going to break it," he fiddles with it pressing buttons"Would you cut that out? Just leave it where she left it. Aside from the fact that it's rude to use her stuff without permission, you don't know what it does, and quite frankly I don't have the ability to do much more fixing...and we have a cargo hold full of people and their stuff to move. So, you know, don't break Mel's stuff and don't break the ship."
"neither are going to be broken-you worry too much, and even if it does, I can fix i-what the?" he says as a 3d image of an angel that would be familiar to raelle, though not arthur "well that's different.."
"Just because you can't breed with other races doesn't mean the gene-pool is shallow. Compared to humans, yes, but our gene pool is somewhat healthy. And as for why, not many things could possibly breed with us, as our reproductive system is vastly different from any other sentient race."
"I can teleport nearly anywhere."
.... " But how?" Sorun looks quite confused, "I get dizzy when you do that..."
... with conversation.
Royston stops and waits
Again, through the room speaking on his behalf, Tryko'Sam says, "Yeah, no tampering with the mind at all, highly unappreciated without consent. Consent not given easily-- buy me dinner first, not on the first interrogation, thanks. Your bedside manner could use some work. Abhorrent, huh? Glad to know."
He stops talking at this point.
"I'm the champion of madness... But you don't know what that means."
"I'm the champion of madness... But you don't know what that means."
....no I don't.... explain?"
"The short version is I'm the representative of the representative of the concept of madness."
Just as Miss Jones might be about to do a 'scan' of Rena, suddenly the beautiful, sensual, white-haired girl bulges extremely unattractively, with the popping of bones and the 'schlrotch' of mutating flesh. Gone is that beautiful face and body, replaced by a shifting mass which grows and elongates out, beginning to fill the smallish SIM room with the bulk. Feathers sprout outof the flesh, in the same colour as the former-girl's hair had been, as serpentine features begin to show, arms retracting in and face elongating out into a snout.
In short order, inside the Sim Room is Rena's original bulk as Tryko'Sam remembers it. Fully 20 foot long and some six feet in girth at her widest, Rena's feathered-serpent shape is quite an intimidating figure, especially with those sharp, pointy teeth.
Momentarily stunned by the sudden change, Rena blinks and looks back on herself.
As Rena undergoes her transformation, Silinrul instinctively jumps in front of his sister, claws fully out. He growls low, unsure if this creature is a threat, but ready to go on the offensive if necessary.
Strangely, Ehos seems to relax slightly as the transformation occurs, some of the tension from the earlier 'encounter' with Rena leaving his body. He does seem momentarily disoriented, but after a moment he gains his bearings and looks at the huge thing. He doesn't feel threatened, maybe because of the wards, maybe because Avalon has jaded him. There's always some huge monster or other.
Vare looks as though he didn't 'see' what just occured, but he looks around questioningly, especially at Silinrul, his hands coming up into a defensive position. "Um... what just happenned?" he asks, looking around wildly as if searching for a threat.
Belsayv
The grotesque creatures hisses at the combatants closing in on him and moves in to extend a greusomely twisted hand towards Vickory. The hand is covered in metal spikes driven into his flesh.

Big mistake!" Yrrin shouts.as he spins his bastard sword like a baton
Yrrin shrugs his shoulder and slides his shield onto his arm, channeling positive energy into it.
Seeing the creature move to touch the smaller Vickory, Vai decides to attempt to paralyze it first rather than attempting to kill it outright. She works her magic and casts a spell, still fluttering a few feet off the ground to stay airborne.
[i]Just as Miss Jones might be about to do a 'scan' of Rena, suddenly the beautiful, sensual, white-haired girl bulges extremely unattractively, with the popping of bones and the 'schlrotch' of mutating flesh...
Professor Royston has listen to Tryko'Sam talk and seemed to be going to reply when Rena starts her change. In a single move he jumps up a normally possible distance to land the ceiling with two odd looking pistols in his hands by his side. They are not pointing at anyone but he looks like he could very quickly correct that.
Calm and even he simply says.
"Miss Jones, If I am wrong in my actions please feel free to correct me, but I have found caution to be in fact, always the better part of vala"
Then with out missing a beat.
"Once all this is over Student Tryko'Sam I would be more than willing pay for your meal. When it comes to my manner I know others sometime have problems with me on an emotional level. It is problematic at times so any help with that Student Tryko'Sam would be of great use. I am always looking to lean new things, if we do not then what is the point to existence"
Nim refuses to move from melody's dress. But take no aggressive actions. Hoping that you will give up before he is actually forced to move.

Arthur fiddles with the settings and with a sudden activation which at first catches him by surprise.
The sonic device starts buzzing and projects a 3d hologram of Dave. There also appears to be a series of graphs and information in the same graphic language that the sonic device miniature display uses.
Intially this seems confusing but a quick check shows it is a bio-mediacl display of Dave. showing vital signs, heart rate, temporal stability, and it also indicates some sort of energy level but what is uncertain, but it is apparently very low.

Nim again makes no agressive moves, but Kai feels shielded while holding Nim. Nim tries to make himself comfortable in kais arms.
Ace smiles at Nala "Understood. As I said, I can provide both mundane and magickal healing. If needed, I can also asssist with administration duties as well. Just let me contact Ginni and tell her I'm gonna be helping here for the time being."
With that he silently contacts Repp ::"Hey buddy, let Ginni know I'm lending a hand in the infirmary, as Nala needs some help after last night. Tell her she's more than welcome to come and join me, as are you for that matter"::

Pets it trying to look nonchalant
"Aww. He's kinda cute. Wonder where she found him. Anyways."
He sets the cloth down on the bed and works it into a nest type shape with an indention in the middle and raised area around a circle. He finishes and picks up Mel's dress.
"That's that then."
He looks at Renkai, expecting him to set the small dragon in its nest of cotton and other soft fabrics.

He looks at Renkai, expecting him to set the small dragon in its nest of cotton and other soft fabrics.
"I suppose....?" Renkai says setting the catlike metal dragon down
Tybalt smiles at the somewhat uncharacteristic behavior towards the small dragon. It made him happy that there were still things that could get through to the mostly unstable friend of his.
"Sure you're done? I could give you a minute or two. Someone might get jealous, though," he says with a short laugh and a smile to Renkai.
You can guess he's most likely talking about Kizmetz.
"I get what you mean. I'm mostly just saying that with most humanoid races being fairly compatible, it seems fairly limited by comparison. I'm sure there's some way using magic to make things possible between Zif and other races."
He looks around the kitchen, sizing up ingredients. He made most of his own food at home, so he could find his way around the kitchen. It was always more neccesity than want, though so his skills were lack luster.
"What do you think we should make?"
"Hmm."
riviarti gather up some spices and more complex things. She has a good bit of practice, though some of her selections may be a little odd- she hasn't cooked for anyone else before.
Carl levels the ship off and heads to the School.
>>Avalon School, this is the HammerShaft, I have a badly hurt students here Name of Mel, the wee lass has Bad Burns both internal and out I will be teleporting her and and another just outside the school be advised.<<
then over the ship com to the medical pay
"Mr Igni Ya best get ready I am going to Teleport you just outside the school with Mel soon as you get there the wards should take her to the medical wing, but I need you to go tell them what happened to her all right, I can't hand around with a full load of Firebards I hope you understands and Tinman here has to stay with me wile we are flying. Its up to you to tell them about here her stare. Right coming up now, get ready"
Then he activated the Teleporter with Timnans new systems
For a moment they are outside the school close to the entrance, then Mel is gone, Teleported again to the medical wing.
Igni your standing next to the now empty trolly she was on.
Tybalt smiles at the somewhat uncharacteristic behavior towards the small dragon. It made him happy that there were still things that could get through to the mostly unstable friend of his.
"Sure you're done? I could give you a minute or two. Someone might get jealous, though," he says with a short laugh and a smile to Renkai.
You can guess he's most likely talking about Kizmetz.
Renkai shoots you a glare.... then sighs... "lets go"
"What? It's sweet. You can't be a grumpy badass /all/ the time. And I think Mel might like it if you do more stuff like that. I've seen you be happy and nice before. Why do you act all stony and super manly all the time? It's OK to not always be the alpha male. I know that more than most people."
He tries to illicit a smile from him before giving the dragon a last rub under the chin and blinking Renkai, Kizmetz and himself to his own room.
Nim curls up in the nest made for him and watches as his visitors go to leave.
Tybs, just before you blink out you could swear Nim gave you that same look you give every so often. the big eyes the cute face the look of please don't go.
"What? It's sweet. You can't be a grumpy badass /all/ the time. And I think Mel might like it if you do more stuff like that. I've seen you be happy and nice before. Why do you act all stony and super manly all the time? It's OK to not always be the alpha male. I know that more than most people."
He tries to illicit a smile from him before giving the dragon a last rub under the chin and blinking Renkai, Kizmetz and himself to his own room.
"I enjoy being a super manly, stony, alpha, grumpy badass." Renkai replies upon arrival... while giving you a look that tells you if you tell any living soul, or any soul that can communicate with the living dead or undead, and he hears about it, he'll skin ya
"neither are going to be broken-you worry too much, and even if it does, I can fix i-what the?" he says as a 3d image of an angel that would be familiar to raelle, though not arthur "well that's different.."
"Do you ever listen?" Raelle snapped, snatching the device away from Arthur. "You're lucky you didn't damage the ship. Although I can't say I'm a fan of bringing up a hologram of my ex who mind-controlled me into dating him. That is more than enough," she said, trying to close the device, hoping this would make the hologram go away. "If we have to have that thing here the whole flight I am going to be very cross."
Just as Miss Jones might be about to do a 'scan' of Rena, suddenly the beautiful, sensual, white-haired girl bulges extremely unattractively, with the popping of bones and the 'schlrotch' of mutating flesh.

Momentarily stunned by the sudden change, Rena blinks and looks back on herself.
Asha shrieked, startled, as the change started and tried to jump out of the way since she had been standing close to Rena. She tripped over Rena's expanding tail and sits there blinking in surprise at her friend, not noticing that she was sitting partially in the floor and Rena's tail was going right through her leg. She shrieked again as she noticed what had happened as she fell the rest of the way through the floor.
Just at that moment Aananda walked into the room.
She looks around a bit nonplussed. "Who was screaming? And what exactly did I miss in here?"
"Oh, right..." she hit a button on her wristband and Tryko'Sam was released from his confinement. "I apologize for that. I didn't mean to take so long getting here to take that down. I ran into an ...interesting development in SIM room three...."
"Do you ever listen?" Raelle snapped, snatching the device away from Arthur. "You're lucky you didn't damage the ship. Although I can't say I'm a fan of bringing up a hologram of my ex who mind-controlled me into dating him. That is more than enough," she said, trying to close the device, hoping this would make the hologram go away.

The device slides closed and then shuts off, dismissing the hologram. However the data-pad is no longer updateing shuttle status.
"Interesting. It would appear that the spell had a contingency on it to dispel if anyone tried to examine it...it seems to have been tied in to the transformative magic affecting you as well. I would still like to examine both of you to see if I can find any traces that might be helpful."
"Also, it would appear that the other female student who was here has had some sort of adverse reaction triggering a presumably new ability based on her startled expression."
"Please stand down, Mr. Royston. We do not shoot students. Usually."
As the others talk Royston flouts down.
"Is this woman a student?"
he asks simply as he lands next to Miss Jones.
The odd looking pistols are gone.
"It makes you far more resistant to desease of any sort."
Dom steps toward the doorway still looking through the vial. Too bad that still doesn't tell me what's in it. It does however tell me what the name is. Although I still find myself questioning which is more dangerous the disease or the draught." He looks it over, then shrugs. "Guess I'll just have to trust it will work." He tips it back and chugs it down. He pulls the draught away once it's finished and gives an odd look at the draught. "Was that... strawberry flavored? Not bad." He tells him just before backing his way through the door way into town.
Asha shrieked, startled, as the change started and tried to jump out of the way since she had been standing close to Rena. She tripped over Rena's expanding tail and sits there blinking in surprise at her friend, not noticing that she was sitting partially in the floor and Rena's tail was going right through her leg. She shrieked again as she noticed what had happened as she fell the rest of the way through the floor.
Already looking back on herself, Rena is entirely focused on Asha's body vanishing through the floor, such that she completely misses anything Miss Jones has said. "Asha!!" Rena cries, the huge bulk moving startlingly quickly as Rena seems to push off the air and dive towards the spot where Asha had vanished, poking at it with her snout now that she was once again without hands. "She's gone! Where did she go?!" Rena's silken voice is full of worry, her huge fangs flashing as she speaks, though no aggressive action is being taken. The huge feathered-serpent form seems to float in mid-air, wings folded and not in use at the moment. "I'm sick of losing people today!" Rena says, hitting the floor with her tail in annoyance. "Asha, if you can come back, come back!" Rena shouts the last sentence, hoping Asha can hear. Her lungs are powerful and the room reverberates with the sound.
With that he silently contacts Repp ::"Hey buddy, let Ginni know I'm lending a hand in the infirmary, as Nala needs some help after last night. Tell her she's more than welcome to come and join me, as are you for that matter"::
::I have parted ways with them. They did not stray far from the burial site, so they are still within the wards, and I believe the plant life there will keep them safe. There is nothing to fear for the moment, and I believe Kitty and Michael are planning some kind of trip to be away from Avalon. I did not wish to intrude any further.:: Comes Repp's quick reply, lounging on his smaller sized bed in his room, distancing himself from the afternoon's troubles and grief.
Finally free and able to move, Tryko'Sam gathers himself from the held position to standing up right. He nods once at Aanandareavekki, not quite sure what to make of her as of yet, and a nod at the person behind her, clearly not recognizing either one.
He is still dressed in his tattered and burnt outfit, comic code approved, fixing his hair and demonstrating quite an extensive amount of charisma with the motion alone.
Looking to where Asha does her slipping into the floor, he looks puzzled for a moment, as if trying to recall something then says, "Ghost-- powers? Or slipping through the cracks of matter. In any event, hopefully she can be reached, maybe telepathically and urged back up here? Wouldn't want her to suffocate or something in the ground."
He gives Rena a slight bump, with his fist to her torso and says, "You look sharp in either form, Rena, though I do recall you primarily in this one. Welcome back, and yay, for losing your demonic essence?"
That said, he looks around assessing what to do.
