Taran and the fiends and foes

Taran was flying the ship; they hadn't been far from their destination to begin with, and they would be there shortly. Not shortly enough, he found out, when n** went to go investigate a strange sound.

That can't be good. Taran thought. He flicked some switches, and got a few screens to display certain areas of the ship. Then he saw them. Renstok. Most of them were dead, and he saw only a few left- but they kept moving through areas, as if they were running. n**, Taran didn't see at all.

Not having time to watch the screens 100%, Taran was missing the flitting movements of n**, chasing down the Renstok.

Instead, Taran had to focus on getting through Gaia's atmosphere. They were only about three minutes from landing. n** will just have to take care of the others herself. She seems more than capable.

Rose; where'd they all go?

Rose was ready to go after the bad guys- was really looking forward to it, actually. Then Nissa announced something disturbing.


"They got through," Nissa said calmly. "I am sorry."

There was a flash of light while Nissa said that, and Dragon, Shal and Wynn (who were both arriving on med deck at the same time) disappeared.

"Um... Nerissa? Where'd they all go?" Rose asked, more than slightly worried. "And are the Renstok still here?"

Rose, left only with three pets, a pixie who kept trying to talk to her ("Hey! Rose!" wink and ANTIE-D and Nissa, was less than enthused about battling Renstok. But the fact that they had kidnapped Nogard, were going after another, and now Dragon, Shal and Wynn were gone, all made Rose very, very angry.

So angry, in fact, that her forehead jewel turned from peaceful blue to a hateful red. If the Renstok had done something to them, too, Rose was about to obliterate them all.

Se'rox and the, um, hello.

As Se'rox reached ZuchaX, he seemed rather odd. "What's wrong, Se'rox?" he asked. He took a moment more, and seemed to find something else to say to fill the silence. "Nice... defense..." he muttered.

Se'rox stopped, and let her hand fall. The thing she had sensed about ZuchaX was fleeting, now. Leaving quite quickly indeed. She thought she knew what she had sensed, but, she was not about to embarass herself and go on about it.

"Nothing." Se'rox answered, smiling lightly. "Sorry. I'm fine now." She backed up a step, and actually went over to the solid edge of the mud pit, and pulled herself up onto it, letting her feet hang in the mud and kick around a little.

"So. You don't have to stay any longer. I know you wanted to go off into the forest. I will be fine on my own." Her own face was blushed, but she was trying to ignore it completely for the moment. She could be quite stubborn at times.
