"Okay, I'm gonna grab some food for our arsonist, then we'll ask Nora what's this all about," Greg said decisively, proceeding to the cantina.
Once there, the Spectre grabbed a 12 oz. can of a highly volatile energetic drink and two field rations that were equally as bland as they were nutritious.
"Should last him a day more," he muttered, "After that I'll just have to make him sleep. Here's to hoping Maddy will recover by that time."

Des blinked, following up the ramp after Nora.
Celene stared for a moment, now genuinly suprised at her brother's reaction. She lingered behind though, between Spike, Nico, and Cori it was probably best to just stay where she was.
"Mostly what you can tell me about our situation, sir." Triberk nodded. "Need to know where to get started, I've got a long day of work from the looks of it."
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares
The woman nodded. "Name's Sam." She stated. "Let's get going them." She turned to the marines she had brought with her. "Two of you, get those slackers out of that bunker and take their place."
"Yes ma'am!" The men saluted, rushing back towards the bunker.
Samantha nodded back at the group, starting off herself.

"This one looks broken." Cori muttered moving to another suit and looking at the launchers on it's arms noticing the metal bent up and broken in places. "Hmmmm maybe it's just bent up?" He pondered as he took off his backpack and sat it on the ground next to him and knelt down as he started to rummage around for his tools before pulling out a hammer and screwdriver and started to bang the metal back into place.

"Right," Eva replied, somewhat dubiously, before looking over her shoulder at Gregory only to find he had already darted off. She shrugged, and watched the back of the small terran boy as he darted off towards the hangars until he was out of sight.
Nico's search had him winding through the strangers' maze of half ruined constructs. Their towering robots, machine-walkers, and power armor burned, crushed, and maimed. They stood like ruins, empty and pitiable. The boy still couldn't find any sign of Cori in the mess, so inevitably ghosted behind some of the blocky-suits dragging some of the broken machinery into the ship.
Maybe to be fixed, and maybe where he would find his cousin poking about.
It was a hunch, but a hunch he was assured in. Nico made his way into the dark, barely lit engineering bay after enough time.
"Cori!" Nicostraez exclaimed in a harsh whisper when he came upon his cousin messing around with one of the suits of armor.
Nora made her way back through the hall of injured and into the medbay, setting the sack of healing potions down on a clear space and opened it back up. The medic took out one of the glass vials, swirling the red liquid around thoughtfully, "Time to see what these bad boys can actually do," she said, gripping the potion tight and finding a man with nasty burns and enough cuts and scrapes to keep him feverish.
She knelt down and got the man to drink the contents of the potion, stepping back and watched with alarm as the burns began to lessen in severity and the least of the cuts closed while the larger ones shrunk.
"Woah," was all Nora got out.
"We already have the perimeter set up," Aiden said, motioning absently towards the circle of bunkers and metal fence that had been set up around the edge of the wreck's crater. "Now we have to get our base in working condition. Specifically the Command Center and getting our communications up and running."

Abygail, Ryu, and Tia followed after Samantha, the latter two openly gaping at the sight of all the machines ahead, while Abby kept her eyes on the marauder's back with the occasional attentive glance at their surroundings.

Cori was startled by his name being called and dropped his hammer with a loud clang on the ground. "What!" He exclaimed back at Nico. "Can't you see I'm busy." He said reaching down and picking up his hammer.

Des was a little suprised at Nora's reaction to the potion, making an attempt to both keep a clear view of the medic, and remain out of the way within the crowded med bay. A grin crept along his face after a moment.
William nodded. "Understood." He stated.
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares
Pray wheeled along behind, watching curiously as the marines from the bunker hopped aboard one Helion; heading back to the crash-site.
Samantha stopped before the second Helion, pulling down the side seats along the back which had taken the place of the vehicle's iconic flamethrower.

"Burning hell and damnation!" Alistair muttered under his nose, rubbing his already bloodshot eyes fervently to see if what happened before him was truth indeed, and not sleep-deprivation-induced hallucination.
"Alright, let's see why did our Nora begin letting minors into her sanctum of healing all of a sudden," Greg suggested as he walked out of the kitchen.

"So unlike her," Eva observed, before nodding and jogging over to the medbay to see what was going on.
Nora stared at the empty vial for a while, despite the man on the floor shifting in sudden consciousness and feeling. Eventually, she snapped to attention, looking around at all the awestruck eyes, "Stop lolligagging, princesses! We've got work to do," she jabbed a thumb to where the sack was. "I want those distributed out! Spread them out, use them to get people on their feet. We'll save a few for the critical patients," Nora muttered. "Though I suspect they won't work miracles, they might help."
She clapped her hands, jolting various medics who scrambled for the miracle potions.
"Once we get communications up," Harvard said, almost more to himself than to the engineer, "we can start spreading out operations past the base."
The officer exhaled, looking over his shoulder at the towering jungle trees in the distance.
Nico didn't have the greatest reflexes, but he did manage to grab the other half of the hammer a few moments after Cori picked it up, attempting to yank the tool backwards as he berated his cousin, "Busy? Busy trying to get us all in trouble? Are you insane! These people aren't going to appreciate you messing with their stuff! Your blasted curiosity is going to get us all shot!"

Ryu and Tia got up onto the seats when they were pulled down, the mute girl making happy and exuberant hand gestures and facial expressions at the awesomely cool thing they were about to do. Abygail helped Pray out of her wheelchair and onto another seat, before folding up the seat and clambering onto a free spot with her niece's transportation under her arm.
"Ready when you are, m'am," Abby said with a tip of her head to Sam.

Yerk skittered over to the console and leaped up onto it, carefully avoiding keys and more importantly, damaging it. After a moment of staring at it, it started tapping away at the keyboard.

"It's possible to make stronger ones." Des spoke up. "Or other potions if you need to take care of burns and such."
William nodded, turning and starting off. "Got it." He stated.
COLA stood, moving to follow the engineer.
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa

Pray made only the slightest signs of aggravation as she was degraded into more of a burden than she liked to be.
Sam smiled at the mute girl's reaction, giving Tia a thumbs up. "Right then, let's get moving!" She shouted, knocking on the helion's outer cage and causing its driver to jump in surprise. "Get us back to base."
The grungy looking man sighed, revving the engine and sending the vehicle speeding back the way they had come.

Alistair was about to say something when a hand clamped onto his shoulder. The pyromaniac spun around angrily, only to find himself looking into Greg's face.
"Easy there, little brother," the Spectre chuckled, adamantly ignoring the fact that the lanky techmarine was taller than him even when he stooped - and he stooped practically whenever he was out of his power armor and no certain Magistrate was around.
"Gregory, these potions," Alistair breathed. "I know not what kind of sorcery is this, but they heal!"
Mandrake raised an eyebrow, then touched Mercer's forehead as if to check for a fever, never mind that he still had his gauntlets on.
"Geez, you look awful. Why don't you chomp this down and start from the beginning?" he suggested, shoving the can with the energetic and the sandwich into Alistair's hands.
"See for yourself, if you don't believe me," Alistair muttered, his stomach letting out a triumphant growl the moment he got his hands on the food. He winced, then grunted, "My gratitude. I hope the day is treating you well, Eva Barker."

Nora looked down at Des with a brief flicker of hope in her eyes, though it was quenched a moment later. She shook her head, "Come with me," she said, making her way to the back of the medbay to where the Magistrate hung on threads of life support.
"This is Madison Lee," the medic explained, arms crossed against her chest as she made a slight gesture at the comatose blonde woman, "our former captain. Until we can fix her up, we're stuck listening to Mr. Prim-and-Proper for orders," Nora sighed, closing her eyes. "Things are looking bleak. Her condition isn't getting any better."
Eva nodded slightly at Alistair, "I'd say the same to you but... it's obvious it isn't. You should really get some sleep," she mentioned, tilting her head to the side as she panned over the arsonist's muddled surface thoughts.
Nico clenched his free hand into a fist, "Are you really asking me that?" he demanded, before banging his knuckles against the side of the armor that Cori had been working on. "This! This isn't the stuff you and your dad work on! You have no idea how to fix any of this stuff! What are you going to do? Blow us all up because you want to help?"
Harvard watched the predator and the engineer walk off, exhaling before going off on his own way.

Abygail let out a slow breath as the wind from the moving vehicle, just as stale as it normally was, whipped her hair in every direction, "Isn't this just something," she muttered, getting a closer look at the enormity of the wreck before her, and the multitudes scrambling to salvage something of it.
Tia's eyes were wide with dumbstruck awe. She leaned over and hugged one of Ryu's thick arms, though the boy didn't seem to notice much as all as he looked around as well.

"Look at it's hands." He said letting go of the hammer and lifting up the armored hand. "It may look advanced but it's just another version of what we use. The way this fire It's grenades is just like the grenade launcher Sparkbolt uses it's just built to encompass the entire hand instead of being held." He said. "And it doesn't appear to have any grenades inside of it so it can't blow up." He added before trying to get back to work.

Des stared at the woman, gulping. "That's... more a job for a healer than an alchemist..." He commented. "Potions can help, I'm not sure how much though."
Triberk made his way along, through the wreckage and towards where a temporary base had been set up. "You here that?" He asked COLA.
The predator glanced up at him, cocking its head.
"I don't know." He shrugged. It almost sounded like kids talking; as little sense as that made.
Samantha Ahrma, Praegosa

Men in suits of all shapes and sizes scrambled about behind the barricades; marines, marauders, SCVs who hovered off the ground, and many without any sort of armor at all, many with their faces hidden by hoods or masks, and some even covered head to toe is skin-tight white suits.
Pray was dumbstruck, watching as everyone rushed around, walking out of the helion's way, or limping as many of the injured had to do, and allowing it a clear path to a massive circular doorway.
"All right, open her up." Samantha commented through her comm.
The was a loud bang, followed by the hissing of air as the bulkhead door slowly slid open, allowing the group entry. Within the ship, massive hallways twisted and turned, going on and downwards at an angle through the ship; massive lights lining the wall and illuminating everything in a dim, occasionally flickering, red.
"Welcom to the
Ares
; flagship of the 'Dominion Exploration Journey'," She commented towards the natives with her. "Our fleet away from home, if you want to call it that."

"Sleep can wait," Alistair shrugged dismissively.
"I warn you again, Al, one more day and I will sedate you," Gregory told him, almost waggling his finger at Mercer.
The techmarine shrugged again, "It is not in my power to stop one of the Special Forces. Not yet."
'
Well, that was ominous,

Observing the newcomers from a distance was a stately young woman with a gorgeous mane of scarlet hair. She were strikingly beautiful - or, rather, would have been, were it not for the permanently stiff upper lip and a blaze in her slightly protruding eyes; such demeanor very probably threw many a potential admirer off-guard.
Why was Ysabel Catalina Margarita Beatriz Sofia Maria Liliana de la Jacinto - who hated her overly long name and wore her moniker, Lilith, with no small degree of pride - wearing a CMC-405 light combat suit, better belonging on a medic, was anyone's guess. First there was the fact that on the large list of all things Lilith would do to a person at her mercy, healing them ranked somewhere near the very bottom. And, of course, the cadre of bodyguards set to watch over her by her doting father, the patriarch of de la Jacinto noble family of Dominion, would do their best to keep her anywhere but on the front lines, though after the crash that took away some of their lives, the heretofore challenging task already neared the 'damn impossible' mark.
"First zombies, now these? We're wasting time," the noble huffed indignantly, throwing a lock of her hair out of her face. She elbowed her current loyal minion in the gut unceremoniously, "Go forth and find out why exactly are we playing host to some random vagabonds when we would be better off establishing contact with - and dominance over - whoever is leading the sentients here."

"Actually, sleep really can't wait. You're going to kill yourself," Eva replied, but dropped the topic afterwards, watching the medics dispense the healing potions to the injured in the hallway outside the medbay. She'd seen the medical nanobots work miracles on the field, but to know a simple vial of liquid could do the same as expensive technology? Now
that
was more of a shocker to her.
The curious Ghost squatted down nearby one of the patients and watched the process more closely.
Nora bobbed her head slightly, "Exactly my thoughts. Won't get her off life support but it might ease the critical necessity of it," the medic pursed her lips, and looked down at the pale haired boy. "But healers? We've got plenty of medics here, and all of
us
can't bloody well fix her."
Nico planted himself between his cousin and the robot suit, "
No.
Not until someone here explicitly tells you you can go around touching their stuff! I don't want any of your excuses, or any of this 'it's not any different!'. Maybe it really
is
. Maybe you just
think
you know what you're doing, but maybe there's a completely different way to fix it!" he argued, the normally quiet boy's firm voice rising with his boiling temper.

"Light," Abygail said breathlessly, looking at the immensity of just this section of the already enormous vessel. Nearby, Rygos and Tiagosa wheeled their heads in every direction to try and look at everything at once.
"If only the others were around to see this," Ryu mumbled, to which Tia replied by nodding her head repeatedly.
Were he not clad in standard marine armor, painted a patriotic blood red, the jab might have actually hurt the harassed bodyguard. For what it was worth, Lance Jackson gave a half-hearted grunt and snorted, "You know,
Your Majesty
," Jackson said with no fair amount of sarcasm, the only plus to being stranded on an unknown planet with no outside communication is that the little brat couldn't tell on anybody if you were rude, "it's quite possible those
are
natives and they
can
take us to our leader. If the shiny good looking one doesn't happen to be that already."
The hydraulics in his suit hissed as he crossed his arms against his chest. Being employed by the de la Jacintos certainly
had
payed well, but all the worthless credits in the Sector couldn't have made this disastrous jaunt worth it.
