*Jake to Amelia before leaving* You too..

*As the ship takes off, Roland looks over at Amelia quizzically, but holds his tongue.*

*He rolls another cigarette, and smokes it silently, watching the thunderhawk vanish into the clouds.*

*steps towards OT*
Nicholas, Joalia and I are here to help. Is there anything you need done?

*Wade slumps over and falls asleep*

*OT considers Santiago*
OT: If you're here to fight then you'll need a Spartan Laser or something just as powerful... Go to the armory, there's a area towards the back marked with red lettering. Take a weapon from there. It won't hurt Coatlicue, but it might cause some damage to her subordinates.

[Looks sad] ..Take Samuel and Bridget. Benny is safest if we confine him in the butter tank and activate siege mode. You don't want him in space with anyone, in this state. He has a reality-defying amount of destructive power.
[Lifts Amelia] Do I have to put you on the shuttle, or are you coming with me?

You can hardly wear your armor with this level of pain.

*Nods happily and prowls beside Santiago*

*Steals his hand-gun and tries figuring out how to use it*

*Accidentally fires it into the ground*

*Looks up innocently*

~

Amee: I...I can't accept this Nick...It's your...Thing...I...

*Hugs OT and holds him for a bit*

Amee: I'll make sure to give it back to you after all this is done

*Smiles and kisses Yarrick*

Amee: I'm stayin', babe. Not leaving Nick when he needs us the most.

*nods*
I've already come armed, but I'll take a look. It wouldn't hurt, at any rate.
*follows OT's directions and starts looking through the armory*
Christ, what I would've done to had one of these weapons back on Reach.
*whirls around and stares at Joalia*
At least you didn't shoot anyone. And I'll have to get you a prosthetic, you're a limb and a half behind your usual self.

*maria hugs everyone*

Right good luck. All of you!

*Smiles and boards the taking off storm bird*

*Leaves a thunderhawk for straglers*

*All ships ready to leave*

*has appeared on Z15's ship*

*OT shakes his head as he hugs Amelia back*
OT: Death loaned me something special, and you need the protection this can give. *Hands it over and shows her a rune on the side* When you need protection, press this. It'll protect you.
I know there's no getting you to leave you stubborn little daemon. *Smiles weakly again* so this is the best chance you've got to hold your own.

*Aoife stares Maria dead in the eyes*
Aoife: Take care of my sister.

*Drops hand-gun and looks around innocently*

*Hears the word prosthetic and runs off*

~

*Amelia hugs Maria before she goes*

*Winces but holds her*

Amee: Stay safe...And give Marla a kiss from me.

*Looks at the Blade*

Amee: I'll keep it safe. Thank you, Nick.

*gets message with the labeled pills to both*

One a fething day for amy even if you need to chain her to the damn bed!
There growth suppressant and pain killer for wings.
One a day no matter what!
Love ya, x

*Thunderhawk sat on pad waits and pucks up Bridget and sam before launching to Maria's ship*

[Looks tired] If you die, I'm going to straight up wrath-murder everyone responsible, on both sides.
[Starts coiling fresh wires for the powerklaw] The people who hurt you, and the people who brought this war to our home.

Just so we know where we stand. [Connects klaw] [Spins it and stretches the blades, with a flash of metal]

[Benny sits in the doorway of the butter tank, watching the shuttles ready] [Lowers shoulders and sighs]

*finds a slender rifle and grins*
I think this will work. Now to find something for you.
*grabs the rifle and keeps looking through the armory*
*sighs when Joalia runs off*
Fine. But you'll need some kind of weapon to counter the missing limb and half your tail being gone. I don't want you hurt any more than this.

OOC: Retcon/change I'll be doing is changing the Shaper's psychic abilities to be more focused on biomancy, rather than the pyromancy he tended to use earlier. I think biomancy is a lot more fitting for a kroot than fire, IMO.

OT: You're welcome, keep it safe and it'll keep you safe. *Checks phone. 24 hours then looks at Yarrick*
She won't die. I won't allow it *Looks fiercely determined*

*thunderhawk landing drops off crates and leaves with final ground crew*

*Crates contain high power vtech mk2 plasma rifles, compact bolt pistols with ammo, mono edge adamantium swords and more heavy and advanced weaponry amd armour*

*Note says*
A gift. Marla and maria. Xx

*Marla messages*

This Mars iv battle fleet departing.
Good luck and fight well.

*Maria*
This is Mars V battle fleet departing

*Lights flare in the sky as fleet departs*

*Amelia wraps her arms around the back of Yarrick's neck*

*Leans in and kisses him*

Amee: Nick said that we have 20 something hours until they attack. Want to spend it wisely? Just incase I don't make it out alive?

*Pokes out tongue and holds Yarrick*

*OT smiles again*
OT: I'll leave you two alone. *Walks off to give Morrigan something*

Joalia! If you don't want a fake limb, I won't make you get one. I just wanted to help level the playing field, come back.
*sighs and grabs several small black orbs*
Some of this stuff looks like it came right out of Tron...

*Shaper is leaning against a wall with his eyes closed*

*Roland sits silently meditating*

*Deep in the forest the Man in black, and Mordred watch the room with great interest.*

Man in Black: A great being comes to destroy them... the weak are fleeing. * He grins wickedly* What are your orders my lord

Mordred: We wait.. I have no interest in the others.. *He stares with utter hate towards Roland* All that matters.. is his death..

*Man in Black rolls his eyes, right before they teleport away.*

*fleet begins to break orbit and hit void*

*Maria relaxing in suite with knight as everyone is lead to suites by crew*

*Maria looking at planet below*
Im sad, but glad we got people out.

There gonna be safe with us. I hope we have home to go to.

*Meanwhile avatar room defences are barely manned, artillary is unmanned and most of crews Manning guns evacuated with rest*

...That's not funny. [Looks very weary]
I have seen fights like this. We will be sincerely lucky if the room stands, nevermind people.

[Blinks] [Smiles] [Takes Amelia's hand] I'm yours for the evening.

*Grumbles and walks back into the room*

*Looks at missing arm and missing tail*

*Groans and lies down in the centre of the room*

~

*Amelia grins*

Amee: You will most likely regret those words.

*Leads Yarrick to her room*

Amee: Wait here, I have to get changed into something more suiting...

*Enters room and closes door*

[Looks confused] Why would I regret anything? I trust you, and I mean what I say. I'm yours to have for the night. [Smiles]
As long as a small amount involves sleep.

*space wolves secure the hall and depart, locking up and turning off power to most of it including hotel*

*Passing column salutes and boards transports with staff*

*Lights flare as space wolf fleet follows the Martians*

*Preparing self for the prosthetic*

*Jordan is wearing her armour and sharpening her sword*

~

*Amelia giggles*

Amee: Okay...You can come in...

*Hiding in the bathroom*

*Billy gets up and sharpening her weapon*
Billy: So you plan on going?

[Enters room, locks door with the slide-latch and sits on bed]
Amelia? Are you hiding? [Amused]

*Jordan looks up*

J: Going? No. I'm staying here. I'm going to fight. Dur.

~

*Amelia exits the bathroom in the same cultist apparel that she wore before*

Amee: Something tells me you like this, eh?

*Does a twirl and grins*

*Billy walks over to her and puts a hand on her shoulder*
Billy: Then you won't be alone. I'm not going to let you die again

J: Don't worry. I don't plan on it.

*Smiles and hugs Billy*
