William Triberk, COLA, Desidaku, Celegosa
Prometheus

Desidaku merely huddled against one of the table-legs, shaking and gripping the metal tight enough to make his knuckles even whiter than his pale skin began as.

He seemed to settle somewhat at Nora's actions, along with the absence of the psionic messages within his mind; at least stopping his fearful shaking, and his look of horror fading back to nervousness.

"If you really have to know." Triberk stated, stepping up and planting the but of his rivet gun against Cori's chest as he moved to shove the boy out. "He's powered by the fumes of bull!@#$ like this I put up with every day!"

Admiral Noname, Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares

Samantha watched, having suspected some sort of religious beleif from the way Abygail spoke. The Sargant was able to piece the fact together slowly; the excitement and suprise at the ship, and helion, and crewmembers, along with their actions against the undead, and the fact the other woman was clad in thick plate armor. The world they had landed on was relatively primative.

"Now you said something about 'remaining forces'." The Admiral observed. "Am I to take that to mean armies of the walking dead aren't commonplace?"

"They were for a time, but now it's just the Scourge and the Forsaken." Pray spoke up.

"Well that's something to look forward to, at least." Noname nodded, tapping at the paper map as he examined it.

"My medbay! My rules!" Nora punctuated her final blows with the lead pipe, eventually bringing it down when she surmised that the two psionics had been dealt enough punishment for the moment. She set the blunt weapon down before kneeling under the table where Des was hiding, holding out her hand to him, "All right, time to come out kid. We've got work to do and hiding here isn't going to help get it done."

Lance leaned back against the wall, becoming ever more interested in these seemingly-terran natives.

Abygail nodded her head, "For now the Forsaken have remained un-antagonistic (but we'll see how long that lasts), and the Scourge were far more widespread and dangerous prior to the Northern War. Here and Northrend are about the last places you'll find them shambling about, controlled by greedy necromancers or liches hoping to reap some last vestiges of horror from the undead."

"But until further help arrives, myself, my nieces, and my nephew are at your disposal to aid with your fortifications or wounded," the paladin continued, "and provide whatever information you may need to your people, as well."

Des stared at Nora for a moment, eventually reaching out and taking her hand as he picked himself out from underneath his defense. "Right." He nodded.

Admiral Noname, Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares

"And so I thank you for your services." The Admiral nodded. "And look forward to the arrival of your forces, when they do arrive."

"Our most immediate concern is out injured. Any help you could provide our medics would be appreciated." Noname added.

Cori gulped before Mr. Wibbles grabbed the boy and placed him behind him before the robot turned back to Triberk. "Yeah I think we'll be going." Cori said starting to back away.

Frederich Savin
The Prometheus

Frederich quite literally (and far more gracefully than one could ever expect from him) waltzed down a corridor somewhere amidships, the tune to which he danced audible only in his own head. Of course, his dancing partner was equally fictional.

Character: Phillip Quiz
Location: Blackrock Mountain

The heat of the volcanic badlands beat into Quiz from all sides. The ashen sky and volcanic landscape reminded the scientist frighteningly of the zerg infested wastes of Char, where the Queen of Blades reigned supreme. He shuddered despite the heat and shouldered his bags a little further up his back.

All of a sudden he froze. Upon the opaque wrap around which covered his eyes, a target zoomed in, searching for something in the distance. Like a guiding star, the slowly rotating cross hair fixed itself before his vision.

"The Helios!" Quiz shouted. He tapped his visor, the target focusing through several mountains onto the ships beacon. Forgetting his weariness and wariness, Quiz let out a cry of exultation and rushed towards the hills and the Dominion ship they hid.

"What the..."

Having surveyed the peninsula, Mickey was navigating his viking back towards the crater when he saw beneath him a very Raider Thor being tinkered with. By a person who was decidedly not a Raider.

"Well, that's just rude," the sergeant muttered. Nidhogg dived, landing hard near the immobilized vehicle.

"This is Sergeant Thompson of Raynor's Raiders speaking!" Mickey thundered, revving up the volume enough for the sound waves to make nearby palms - those that had not been felled already - vibrate visibly. "You are meddling with the property of the said Raynor's Raiders! Name yourself!"

"Now that we're back on track..."

Gregory scratched his thoroughly whacked head with a mournful, reproachful look directed at Nora before continuing.

"Does that mean people on this world can just waggle their fingers and fwackoom! A wound vanishes?"

"I suspect that whatever this magic is, its destructive applications are far more numerous than peaceful and joy-bringing ones," Alistair muttered cynically under his nose.

Location: Ares Crash Site, Eastern Plaguelands

For once, Lilith did not comment; the situation with the wounded was indeed dire, and any help would be welcome.

Not to mention that with at least some stability in regards to medical aid, more taxing objectives would become achievable after a single wound did not put a marine out of action for an indefinite period of time.

Both Richard and Loki jaws dropped at the site of the viking. "What the fel is going on around here?" Loki asked as Richard climbed atop the thor.
"My name is Richard Grindgear and that's Loki Greyfang. Now who the fel are you?" He replied.

Eva took Gregory by the shoulder, "Doesn't really matter. We've got errands to run, remember? I think we should be getting to those," the female Ghost reminded, and didn't wait for an answer as she tried to drag the Spectre out of the medbay to make the room at least slightly less crowded than it was before.

Nora blew a rebellious strand of bloodstained hair out of her face and looked down at Des, "Well, we're going to have to get our hands on one of your healer friends eventually, but first we're going to deal with all the newly confused and able-bodied louts your potions are fixing," she paused, then frowned. "Actually, I don't feel like bloody dealing with more idiots today. Let's head outside where the air is fresher and talk fancy magic medics and what's in this jungle."

The latina marched her way out after that, leaving the rest of the medical staff to shuffle about with the remaining potions to get as many men on their feet as possible.

"Finally," Nico intoned, appraising Triberk with a cold grin before the boy made his way past Cori and his robot, back towards where Celene was waiting with Spike and the wagon. His icy expression was like a hardened mask on his face the entire way back.

Character: Abygail Daybreaker, Rygos, Tiagosa, Lance Jackson

"Healing isn't my strong point, and I exhausted most of my energy abating your siege, but I can see what I can do for the worst of your injured," Abygail replied, before looking backwards at her young trio of accomplices. "I expect you three to be on your best behavior and offer what skills you have here."

Ryu saluted his aunt, "Certainly!" he stated formally, while Tia bobbed her head exuberantly, before going back to looking around the refitted cantina with wide eyes.

"If someone here would kindly lead me to your medical facilities, it would be appreciated," the paladin then continued.

"Might not be the most advanced but they certainly aren't primitive," Lance muttered under his breath.

"I am a sergeant of a glorious army of freedom that owns the Thor walker you are finding yourself in!" Mickey boomed, giving Nidhogg's twin Gatling cannons a spin for added impression.

"I implore you, mister Richard Grindgear, to step away from the Thor and cease your attempts to meddle with it! Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated – but it is not required!"

"Right, science stuff for Fred. And so we go-" Gregory's voice trailed off as the Spectre allowed himself to be dragged away.

Alistair rolled his bloodshot eyes and sat down on the floor near the Magistrate. The techmarine leaned his back against a wall and popped open his can of energetic.

"I believe I can do that," Lilith spoke up, inserting herself into the conversation before anyone else could say a word.

"Lilith Jacinto, pleased to meet you. I will be happy to give you a tour," the noblewoman spoke, striding up to Abygail and holding out a hand.

"Hey!" Richard shouted pointing at the viking. "First I repaired this Thor into working condition I think. That's kinda of an awesome name for this thing. Second don't go spinning your guns at natives cause you got no idea what I'm capable of so why don't we discuss this like civilized people" He said.

"We where only doing our job." Loki added as he started to back away from the Thor

Character: Cori
Location: Prometheus

"Uptight crazies." Cori mumbled as he followed Nico with Mr. Wibbles behind him.

Des blinked, watching Nora leave before seemingly snapping back into reality. "Uh, yeah." He replied, even though the medic was already out of earshot. Hurrying to catch up, the pale-skinned boy rushed after her.

Celene, in her time waiting, had unhooked Spike from the cart and sat down atop the chest of supplies to relax. The raptor himself had seemingly eaten his fill, curled up on the metal floor for some much needed rest.

The blue-haired girl looked down as the boys returned. "Oh geesh." She commented, spotting Nico's face. Pointing at the Chromatic, she commented. "Stop that."

"Finally..." Triberk muttered. "Now maybe I can get something done." He stated, heading off towards the command center with COLA close behind.

Admiral Noname, Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares

The Admiral nodded. "Thank you, now, I should get back to work." He stated.

Samantha watched Lillith carefully a moment. She didn't like the noblewoman, not at all, but the Sargant didn't say anything immediately. Rather, she made her way towards the Admiral. "Sir, permission to speak freely?"

"Granted." Noname nodded again.

"Might I suggest you make your way to the med bay finally?" Sam questioned worriedly.

"There are many more who need the attention more than me." The man stated adamately, returning to the holomap, and checking with the map Abygail had provided him with. "I'm far to needed here."

"Sir, your condition is worsening the more you keep this up." The Sargent explained. "Many of us are becomming worried."

"Well don't be." Noname told her. "I am a soldier. I live, and die, for the Dominion."

"And I'm sure the Emporer appreciates your efforts, but you're more use to him alive than the latter!" She insisted.

The old man turned to face her, their eyes locking a moment.

Eventually, he sighed. "I will... consider your request. Dismissed sargant."

Samantha nodded, smiling as she saluted again. "Thank you,sir!"

Pray blinked as the woman turned and headed out of the Cantina, nodding to Abby. The wheelchair-bound girl looked up at Lillith, watching the woman carefully.

"I am neither authorized nor trained for such debates, Mister Richard Grindgear!" Mickey retorted cheerfully. "Much as I am no person to judge whether this Thor is in walking condition, or how is it your job to fix it!

If you are inclined to continue your repairs, I welcome you to follow me so that you can bring the matter to my commanding officer, Mister Richard Grindgear! Accept or deny, I in either case must inform you that until sufficient clearance from him is obtained, I cannot allow your further tampering with the Thor!"

"What do you think?" Richard asked looking back at Loki.
"I'll take my chances with there officer." Loki replied.
"Okay mister Thompson we'll go with you." Richard said climbing off the Thor. "Lead the way."

Character: Phillip Quiz
Location: Blackrock Mountain

"Oh %^&* every kind of duck."

Likely not the breathless terms Quiz expected to say when he managed the ridge. However, upon looking down at the twisted remains of the once regal warship, they were apt. The familiar capital I shape of the vessel remained largely intact, but that was all. It had smashed into a deep cliff, leaving it crumpled and in smoking ruins, pieces of twisted metal lying all over the valley floor. Not too far away was a clipped cliff where the ship likely careened off, taking some of the range with it and forcing it into the mountains below.

But it was the unmistakeable presence of Creep that had Quiz curse aloud.

Pouring out of the ruined vessel, the strange fleshy earth of the zerg spread like a flood of corruption out of the vessel. A hatchery had begun to sprawl out atop the ruined ship, building upon it like a monument to the zerg's victory over their captors, it's fleshy walls undulating and hideously chitinous. As he looked down into the crater formed by the crash, Quiz groaned aloud at the sight of several fleshy larvae already milling about on the creep.

A shrill screech shook the sky. "Sheet!" Quiz hissed, dropping to his belly and edging backwards to the lip of the ridge. "It survived."

Moments after he was out of sight, from the largest gap in the ruined vessel's side there emerged a tall multiple segmented limbed creature. Resembling a massive if thicker preying mantis with six long legs connected by a thin fibrous fibrous flesh, the creature curled up from it's lower body like a ships figurehead, and what a horrible one it was. Four arms grew from its torso, two of mockingly human proportion with a pair of long talons, and a second longer pair stretching from its back and ending in pointed ends like a pair of stabbing spears. It was covered in a chitinous segmented shell with a long, almost regal growth widening away from the skull and the green eyes which glittered with horrible intellect.

All along her lower body to the tip of her tail were several bulging, glowing sacks like the vertebra of a human spine. Quiz didn't remember Queens having such warped, almost human proportions before the Queen of Blades took over. What that meant he'd rather not think, but he recalled with more than some disquiet how one of his colleagues had almost seemed...amorous with the thing. And he had taken to noticing the creature tended to eye him in a disquieting fashion. That the Ghosts on board had absolutely refused to be anywhere near it did not help matters.

As quietly as he could, Arthur began to try and edge back down the cliff. It would seem the Helios was lost, and so was he f he didn't flee before more of those larvae started to hatch.

His foot slipped, sending several small stones running down the hill. A small sound, but if the ear splitting screech from the valley was any indication, it had not been small enough.

Character: Eva Barker, Aiden Harvard, Nora Sanchez, Nicostraez
Location: Prometheus Crash Site, The Cape of Stranglethorn

Eva sucked in a sharp breath of humid air the moment the two psionics exited the Prometheus wreck. She promptly let go of Gregory before rolling her shoulders and performing a few quick stretches, after which she was off at a jog towards the southern perimeter of the base. She slowed at the bottleneck checkpoint between two battered bunkers dug into the top of the crater's edge. One of the bunkers opened up, admitting the upper half of one of the marines who looked over the two approaching figures.

"Whaddya wan--" he demanded, the faint bickering of his three other colleagues stuffed inside the sardine can of a defensive building in the background. However, the marine's question died as soon as he noticed the attire and weaponry of the Ghost and Spectre. The man's visor flipped up and he huffed, "Aw whatever. Just go through, I ain't gonna be bothered wonderin' why you crazies want out into the jungle."

Eva shrugged, giving the marine a salute before he popped his head back into the bunker and closed the hatch and made her way past the perimeter line towards the dense, vibrant jungle foliage ahead.

Nico eyed Celene silently for a few moments, as if considering what she was saying. Eventually he slowly raised a hand to his forehead and lowered his head, letting out a slow breath as he attempted to compose his boiling pot of emotions. His tight expression softened to a somewhat more warm, but still neutral, countenance he was better known to hold.

"Better?" he asked. One might think he almost sounded amused, but there was a cutting edge of annoyance still left over from the previous events with Cori.

Around the same moment, Nora made her way down the ramp leading up to the medbay area, whistling an obscure tune that none of the Azerothians would have known.

Character: Abygail Daybreaker, Rygos, Tiagosa, Lance Jackson
Location: Ares Crash Site, Eastern Plaguelands

Abygail eyed Lilith, studying the woman for a few brief moments. The paladin didn't spend much of her time in the company of nobles, but she knew high-and-mighty clerics and paladins with the exact same air. She bit her tongue as she took the noblewoman's hand in shook it firmly, "Abygail Daybreaker," she introduced herself in turn with a slight nod, "whenever you're ready to go."

Rygos looked after Samantha, and for a moment back at his aunt, before following after the marauder. Tia stuck her lower lip out and surveyed the situation. The mute girl then turned Pray's wheelchair in the direction their brother had gone, before she raced after Abby.

Lance snorted, pushing away from the wall and crossed the short distance towards Lilith and stood a few feet away, ready to move whenever the woman did.

Celene nodded. "A little." She commented, turning to watch the woman passing by and out of the ship. Desidaku followed close behind Nora, seemingly not even noticing that his siblings were nearby.

"Great, I think he's gone stupid again." The Blue sighed.

Pray glanced at Tia as she was turned around, almost prepared to say something when her sister hurried off. Grumbling, she took the hint and wheeled herself after Rygos.

Samantha made her way through the halls and towards the barracks of the ship.

"Like my little friend Mercer says, we're good kind of crazy!" Gregory protested with his trademark goofy grin, waving cheerfully at the bunker as he strode by.

They did not go far before the trees nearby began to quake. Shortly afterwards, Nidhogg stomped out of the jungle, followed by Richard and Loki.

"Oy, I recognize those markings. Thompson, what have you there?" the Spectre asked, throwing his head back to at least face the cabin of the humongous vehicle.

"I found a Thor of ours, Lieutenant! However, these gentlemen had found it first! I have stumbled upon them tinkering with it!" Mickey thundered in response, pointing at Richard with his Gatling cannon.

"And so you want to make a spectacle out of us tearing them a structurally superfluous new orifice with our mind bullets?" Gregory inquired with a bloodthirsty grin.

"Nothing quite so melodramatic, Lieutenant - not yet, at least!" the Viking pilot played along gleefully. "Our fearsome commander will have to see them first himself!"

"Oh, carry on, then."

"We're getting sidetracked again," Eva mentioned, giving Mickey a very pointed frown before looking over Richard and Loki, and making her way past the viking and the two natives as if things like this happened every day.

"Most likely," Nico said quickly, before Nora and Des came within earshot. The medic clapped her hands together as she approached the group of younglings.

"All right kiddos. Runt here," she ruffled Des' hair, "has been telling me about fancy little magical healing people. I'd like to know a little bit more about miracles and the lay of the land."

Character: Abygail Daybreaker, Rygos, Tiagosa, Lance Jackson
Location: Ares Crash Site, Eastern Plaguelands

The paladin strode after Lilith, while Tia was right on her aunt's heels, "Certainly," Abby replied.

Tiagosa looked up at Lance and the marine's armor with a wide-eyed curiosity. The man looked down at her and cracked a small grin on his normally grouchy expression. Something about the girl's expression couldn't help but make him smile.

Ryu chased after Samantha, "Ma'am!" he exclaimed.
