"Wonder if these potions are processed from the blueskins," Gregory drawled.
"Why would anyone process potions from those?" Alistair raised an eyebrow.
The Spectre flashed a nasty grin, "Their blood has regenerative capabilities."
"And I suppose you chopped an arm off one of them for our esteemed science officers to inspect?" the pyromaniac sighed exasperatedly.
"Actually, 'twas a head. Those tusks are really handy to lug it around!" Mandrake said enthusiastically.
"A head. Really," Mercer facepalmed.
"I say it again, only Fred appreciates the stuff I do for science," the Spectre grumbled.

"Knowing our luck and the
overwhelming
competence of the peasants currently in charge?" Lilith rolled her eyes. "That said, I'm very curious what kind of an idiot takes a kid in a wheelchair on a stroll through a zombie-infested battlefield to a crash site with potentially hostile crew."

Desidaku shook his head. "Not medics." He mentioned. "I'm... guessing docters are all you have." He said, glancing around the room. "Healers use magic. If we were a bit further north, we could probably go and find a priest or someone pretty easily." The boy nodded.
"But down here, I'm not sure..." He tapped his fingers together nervously.
Triberk followed the voices, eventually making his way into one of the building set up around the
Prometheus
.
"Who in the hell are you two, and what in the ^&*! are you doing in here?" He demanded, spotting two young boys.
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa

"Get us to the bridge." Sam told the driver. "The Admiral should be excited to heal we found someone
not
dead."
The man nodded, turning the helion off the main pathway through the ship, the hallway narrowing to the point that the vehicle almost entirely filled it; just enough room left to walk by beside it.

"Did I hear that right? Magic?" Gregory poked his head into the chamber Madison was resting in.

"How very observant of you. I am definitely glad you can still process the words I say to you, my dear Spear," Lilith said with an acid-laden smile. She quickly took the lead, drumming her fingers impatiently against the Gauss pistol hanging on her hip.

"You... you don't know about magic?" Des asked, seemingly dumbfounded. He blinked, not even comprehending the idea of someone denying magic.
"Damn right you are. Get; both of you!" Triberk shouted. "^&*!ing Harvard. In charge for ten minutes and turns the place into a daycare..." He muttered.
Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares
"Last stop." The helion driver stated. "Tools, cleaning supplies, stuffy bureaucrats." He joked, pulling to a stop before a doorway and letting the group off.
Samantha nodded, waiting until everyone was off and Pray was situated back into her wheelchair. With a salute, the helion headed back off out of sight.
The doorway opened up into the makeshift bridge. The ships actual bridge had been destroyed in the crash; left nearly irreparable. In its place, the crew had refitted the cantina; the convenience realized when one noticed its location in the center of the ship, and the fact it was left almost entirely in-tack.
Wires traced along the floor, leading to computers lining the walls and set up on tables, in booths, and on the bar counter itself. In the direct center sat a massive circular pedestal; a holographic map of the area immediately around the
Ares
displayed above it. Green dots moved along the edges of the scar the ship had left in its crash, heading to blinking yellow dots in a large triangle around the ship itself.
Leaning over the image was an older man, gray facial hair covering his mouth, and wrinkles lining his face. A bandage was wrapped around his head, covering one eye which, as if in jest, had an eyepatch also pulled over it. His suit was a deep red in color; and one side of it looked stained with blood, a bulge showing that he was also crudely bandaged underneath. One of his arms sat in a sling, sagging from his shoulder and looking dislocated. His other was wrapped in bloodstained cloth, tapping away at the map before him.
He looked up at the sound of the door opening, standing straight. One of his legs appeared twisted; the foot at an odd angle relative to the rest of his body. None of the other bridge members around the room looked in good shape, but the old man was nearly a walking corpse given all his bleeding injuries.
"Admiral, sir!" Samantha shouted, standing at ready with a salute as the man acknowledged them.

Des blinked, continuing to stare blankly at Nora. "Uh... hold on..." He muttered, scratching his head in thought, He had never before considered how he might
prove
magic to somebody.
"How about this?" He asked, bringing his hands together. The room's temperature slowly rose,if only a little. and a slight breeze flowed through it and to the boy himself, hardly noticeable if not for the fact it was a breeze inside a sealed room.
Specs of frost drifted out from Desidaku's hands as he parted them, flowing outwards and vanishing in the slightly warmer air. A crudely formed, and quickly melting, block of ice was held in his grasp.
"Can psi-whatevers do that?" He asked, a look of nervousness and slight fear in his eyes.
Admiral Noname, Smantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares
Admiral Noname (pronounced no-nah-mae, as he would surely correct anyone who said it otherwise) nodded at the group. "At ease." He replies, Samantha dropping her salute. "And who have you brought with you, Sargent?"
"Natives, sir." The marauder nodded. "They were found near the perimeter, and managed to fight off the horde of hostiles."
The old man stared a moment, turning his attention to Abygail. "You managed to free my ship from the siege we've been under since we arrived?" He questioned. "If that is true, you have only my thanks."

Cori started to walk out when he noticed COLA. "Holy light what is that?" He asked rushing over to the robot and walking around. "What's it do? How is it powered? Does it work on magic or steam? Can it talk?" He asked a thousand more questions in his head trying to get out.

Gregory let out a sharp whistle at the sight of the cryomancy underway, while Alistair just stared.

Lilith strode into the bridge, walking like she owned the place. It was a mystery of modern science how could her hips be possibly swaying while she was sealed into the light combat suit, but swaying they were. She only deemed Noname worthy of a curt nod of her head before leaning against a wall, her arms folded beneath her breasts.
"Look at the Admiral Anonymous," Lilith muttered to Lance, the noble having virtually no one else to appreciate her razor-sharp wit. "How many medical supplies are wasted to keep that worthless old husk half-dead?"

"Good man is one thing, competent is another," Lilith shrugged cynically. "How many of your fellow marines could have made it through if we did not waste effort on this good man?"

Des' face fell at the reaction, realizing she wasn't impressed. "I'm... not very good at it. And-AH!" He shouted, diving under the nearest table and peeking out at the ghost and spectre who had prodded his mind, a look of terror ovetaking the shaking boy.
COLA turned rapidly, attempting to keep the boy in view.
"None of your business, and I said get!" William shouted. "I've got work to do, and don't feel like playing babysitter!"
Admiral Noname, Samantha Ahren, Praegosa
Ares
The Admiral sighed. "I had, in a sense, hoped they were a mindless horde, merely throwing themselves at us for no reason beyond intinct. But I suppose it only makes sense there may be some controlling intelligence."
"But, with our perimeter cleared..." He continued, facing the map again. "We can get our sensor towers set up, and finally get a good look at where we are." He nodded. "Although, with your arrival, that may not be as vital has we had feared." He added, looking back at Abygail and the children.
Pray glanced off towards the woman who had entered behind them, raising a slight eyebrow before leaning back in her wheelchair.

"Or maybe it's like Mr. Wibbles and Depthcharge drawing on leylines to spin a generator to supply power." He said now completly oblivious to William. Mr. Wibbles walked up to Cori and tapped his shoulder. "There you are where have you been? It doesn't matter look what I found another robot like you but not like you I don't know how it runs yet but I think I do." He said causing Mr. Wibbles to beep in reply.

Frederich Savin
The
Prometheus
Frederich, lacking in attention span, soon turned to other projects now that he wasn't being...supervised. It didn't take him long to notice the aftermath of the crash, however. The entropy of his lab had not been substantially increased, but there was a lack of utilities that made its presence well known. Electricity, water, pressurised air, vacuum and steam, data links, particle beams, cryogenics, nothing worked as it should.
One flickering light too many caused the aggravated scientist to drop the experimental weapon with a tired, exaggerated sigh and head out onto the deck outside his lab. On the board next to his door he posted a hand-written note in pointy scribbles: "
Gone to fix the damn ship. Will know if stuff is touched."

"Congrats, Nora-ow! You have succeeded in scaring him far-owie! more than Soren ever-agh, quit hitting me, already!" Gregory proclaimed, flinching under the rain of lead.
Alistair crouched near the table Des was hiding behind.
"In their defense, they're good kind of crazy. You gotta get used to them, that's all," he spoke, attempting to cool down the situation.

"Chapel?" Lilith muttered under her nose. Despite the widespread time-honored Terran tradition of invoking some 'god' to 'damn' the 'it', more often than not to some 'hell', she had yet to meet a religious person, and in fact only knew about religion because de la Jacintos took education of their young very seriously.
