Carsta lays her quarterstaff and shield on the ground, and brings up her crossbow.

Zaki checks all of the low berths, and also checks that her patient is still alive in their low berth. She's suited up and ready for vacuum. She retreats to the crew area to await the ship's decompression and grav shutdown. I dearly hope we're pumping most of the atmosphere back into the tanks, and ...

The countdown to emergence continues while the crew does all the searching they can. No more bombs or booby traps are found aboard. Yes, there are a couple of half ton storage spaces that weren't listed as such, each empty, containing neither bombs nor hidden packages. Bob and Doug tinker around an...

Zaki is in the common area, suited up and armed.

In a slightly louder voice so all can hear. "All right, pack up and line up as before." de Francesco checks to see if anyone is napping and generally sergeant's around. de Francisco Carsta gathers her belongings and levers herself upright with her staff. "Be careful, everyone. The or...

Having most definitely got Doug's attention she then suggests "We should put in new seals and then see how much overpressure we can generate in the airlocks. We also need to isolate the air lock grav plates to run them with zero G so the flechettes float free – we'll need about a kilo for each...

Kit "Supporting the snipers, unless you have a rabbit up you sleeve that would be better." "What's a rabbit... oh... never mind. T'Lia just explained it... we will deploy to support the snipers." Prerna moves her team to where the snipers are setting up, and splits them into sni...

Two days before emergence, Zaki speaks up during lunch. "Are we planning to search for more bombs or other surprises? I admit I don't have experience at such things, but the dramas I've seen talk about people sabotaging airlocks to open both sides at once, and other things like that." She ...

She passes out cups of tea and offers to warm and enhance each person's meals. (Curious to see who else rejects magic besides Carsta.) "That smells really good", Carsta says with a light sniff. "I would like to try it," she smiles, "no matter how it was prepared,"

Kit Kit summarizes the group position and gives some additional instructions. "We have the main force including but not limited to the Grey's re-hidden ready to spring the trap on the main enemy force as they come up the gut. The snipers should be at the top of the hill to slow the advance of ...

Vesper She listened to the conversation as she unwrapped her own lunch. Frankly, in her mind, magic was magic, but she trusted Carsta and no doubt she had good reason for the distrust of certain magic. She scarfed down the fruits and nuts she had brought followed by a nice slice of bread. Then she ...

Spoilsport… :D Feel free to keep going. I'm sure there will be a new thread for the next set of events. Or we'll explode and it won't matter. :lol: Zaki works on the exercise machine built into the cargo bay bulkhead for an hour per day. She studies for the same amount of time, and spends the rest ...

Her lips quirk, but Zaki's expression matches his. "Do you have training in sensors operation?"

"What good is magic if it is not practical? A wizard who still does laundry is no wizard at all," Hellebore answers, shaking her cloak so the mud from travel disappears and it folds itself neatly beside her. "Do you prefer your meal as it is? Or warmed so the cheese is gooey? Or chil...

While the others circle, Hellebore is happy to set up lunch. She props her staff and lets the owl sleep, gesturing and murmuring over each food item in turn. Trail bread softens and warms, wafting the smell of melted butter as its flavor is enhanced. Cups of water begin to steam and perk, even with...

With a surprisingly soft touch the serrated hook of a boarding axe gently lifts Zaki's study material so her arm is extended at shoulder height. Sigrún says "Study like that and you'll learn and strengthen your weapon arm". Smooth dexterity flips her grip on the axe to delicately move Zak...

Donovan could only laugh. "I think it will take more than a tranquilizer to calm this down!" "I give up," Zaki says with a laugh. "We are all doomed." She sits down and pulls up a basic study course on sensors operation. "I need to learn more about the ship, so I'...

"With this large a party, stealth is mostly out. Remember to look for signs of our other members, perhaps they could be alive. I hope . Lets do a quick look around before we relax, yes?" Carsta nods and busies herself with setting up a place for them to eat while the others search the imm...

"I got sluggish and flabby while stuck on that rock we just left." Donovan winked at Zaki and then spoke up so Sigrun could hear him. "I can just see Sigrun chasing us around the cargo bay to whip us into shape." He laughed and struck a dramatic pose. "Bring on the horned h...
