Faye is still passed out… Not really much to do here… She hears the sounds of metal viciously hitting metal and the loud clatter of a door. She just enjoys her drug induced nap as things happen around her.
-
*Pandora sighed and continued to spin her top, she felt very tiered for some reason and not very angry or violent really. Weird…*
-
Geralt enters the cell after tossing the metal chair, no longer foldable, aside. Geralt picks up Faye and carries her to the main entrance where he puts her in a space suit. He takes a moment to gather supplies and puts all of it in a bag. He then picks up Faye and takes her back to his ship.
-
Apollo slowly began to bring the Gunship into orbit, then landing it on the bright pink sands of a beach.
“Now, here’s a few things to remember before we go out there. The air is a hallucinogen and will force you to view the natives as a terrifying beast. The only reason we can’t wear helmets is because the planet’s atmosphere is 49% oxygen. This means us Ascendii will have negligible, but present effects of reduced brain function and reflex times. However, it’s good for Jack because he should have a stamina that will go on for hours on end, as well as increased brain activity for him. Also, Jack, don’t think of running. There are sharp cliffs and falls behind the clouds so be very careful. Now, I welcome you to <span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Arthosestakerbosentialithasperriar!” Apollo waved his hand in excitement, about to hit the button, but the boarding ramp was pulled downwards, and a giant sandworm was staring at the group with beady eyes as if preparing to climb onboard.Â

Andaluza stared at the worm before yelping and jumping behind Jack. “What the fuck is that thing?! It looks like a giant worm! Oh, it might be a native. The hallucinogen was let into the spacecra-WHAT THE HECK?! The creature isn’t a sand worm! It’s a dinosa-nevermind, saw worm.”
-
*Pandora gasped and clung to the wall stairing at the worm, she felt like she was gonna throw up*”Do we have to fight it”, she said closing her eyes. she didn’t know why but she didn’t want to fight it and draw blood, she didn’t have an interest in drawing her sword. She was usually really aggressive against a monster like this but she felt like moving away from it to find a corner. This freaked her out, she wanted an answer but it seemed to be just out of her grasp of consciousness.
-
Apollo put his hand under the worm’s head and it closed its eyes, sniffing around. “Oh, wait…it’s one of those things. It thinks I’m its master, so now it does whatever I tell it to do.” Apollo then gestured downwards. “Sit.”
The worm rolled over into a ball and tilted sideways. “You know, more specific commands would be requested at this point.”
-
Andaluza screamed and darted behind Pandora, hiding behind her and clinging to the wall. “It TALKS! AHHHHH!!!!”
-
*Pandora made a dome around her with her wings and shook her head in disbelief, her eyes still shut*
-
Apollo rolled his eyes at both Pandora and Andaluza. “You two, as Keepers, will see scarier things than this. I expect these actions from Pandora, because she’s only like three hundred, but Andaluza? Please, you’re acting like a bigger man-baby than Geralt.”
The worm turned to Andaluza and began to climb on board, the ground shifting as the boarding ramp dented slightly under his weight. “I’m your friend.” The worm then licked Andaluza and Pandora affectionately before turning its beady eyes to the outside. “Well, we better get going now. Who are we going to find?”
-
Faye feels her weight shifting as she is carried off to some sort of new place. Probably an interrogation chamber. She feels the medicine start to fade, her eyes fluttering open as she sees the interior of a ship and a suit. “Mmrrgghh… Eh?”
-
“Thats true… He just reminds me of a monster I encountered”, she said looking at the floor. That monster or worm like monster mass murdered the hole city she was in and almost killed her as well.
-
Geralt sets Faye down on the co-pilot’s seat. He then takes her helmet off and sets it down behind the seat. He then takes the bag of goodies to the adjacent room and returns to sit across from Faye in the pilot’s seat.
-
Apollo dismisses the worm. “Just go have fun, I’m not here to bother you anymore. Anyways, anybody have comm lines to Faye or Geralt? We need to know whether or not Faye’s getting executed.”
-
Faye takes a few breaths of air and looks around the ship a bit more, “G-Geralt?” She rubs her eyes slowly, “Oh gosh it really was you…” She whimpers a little and tries to remove the rest of the suit. “Let me guess…they sent you to get me back?”
