    Lava beings to flow from the Vent made by Evan and Dhinor, flowing toward the rest of the group...

    OOC: Holding it there for today.

    OOC: AWWWWW MAN :)

    Joking - no probs! :)

    Seneca considers putting Bakleth out of his misery but decides that a sawn off shotgun blast to the temple wouldn't be a fitting end for his friend. "Don't worry, help will be here soon."

    OOC: If Evan can change his name with every post, then after that rescue I want to be called Neo from now on... ��

    It just goes to show, never start a fight on a raft flying over a volcano, as my Granny used to say...

    Dhinor does his best to recover, gather himself and get himself above ground without being further injured. He.....grudgingly tries to help Evan too.
    OOC: I should clear this up before halting.

    Evan and Dhinor come to halt after rolling into a side vent. The lava they met on their way down rushed over the field, leaving them untouched. They continue drilling through and emerge on the volcano's northern slope.

    Dhinor's arm is a cooked mess, the pain almost unbearable.

    Seneca sees Bakleth writhing in agony. He screams "Medic!" and tries to keep Bakleth prone and still.
    Disorientated after the wormhole trick Nestor feels her training kick in after years of repeated practicing. She loads the tranq pistol with K'Kree painkiller and an immobiliser and shoots Bkleth in the rump.
    "Anyone still upright, grab Bakleth and start hauling him to the side"

    Coms to Evan and Dhinor: "Are you alive, where are you? Status report!"

    Thinking a heavy thought to Glenn: "Thank you. Now, can you sense the two assholes?"

    She turns on her thermo suit to max as the rise in temperature is starting to make her feel weak.

    Verne picks himself and dusts off the volcanic ash. He hears Nestor's shout and starts running in the direction of her voice.

    Bakleth looks up as the medicine woman aims her tranquiliser gun at him.

    'No. Bakleth stay. Help others. Bakleth will enjoy swimming in lava, like his captains asked him. Bakleth even found K'Kree bathing suit.'

    OOC: Think this, but in a manly pink colour (Closest I could get :P)

    Dhinor is writhing on the ground in agony. Coherant thought is being chased from his mind by pain.

    "Shushh now Bakleth, time for a little sleep"

    She comms the local emergency services requesting a medical emergency evacuation, on the slopes of Mount Whateverit'scalled, the 'sploding mountain.

    As the K'Kree drifts off Nestor comms everyone: "Sound off, who's still alive and who need help?"
    She checks the nearby Seneca and sees that he is still breathing so administers a dose of painkillers before returning to the Bakleth and doing a full body scan. The medkit allows her to wanjangle bits of him back into place.

    'Where is the captain and the madman? Is there anything I can do to help?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    "captain here. The madman's alive but not looking too hot. Well.. actually his arm looks like it was too hot. I digress."
    Evan checks if he still has his shotgun, whom he might rename Mercy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    OOC: Okay enough of ye are responding to continue a bit.

    Nestor's suit issues her a critical warning. The heat of the lava flow is beginning to overwhelm the coolant systems. The others save Verne begin to sweat and gasp.

    OOC: Nestor -4 to all actions, everybody else except Verne -2. Verne unaffected.

    Part of the upper crater of the mountain collapses, exposing a lake with a small island. Even more important, visible on the small island within the lake is the scout ship.

    The ground begins to shake violently. Nestor knows an eruption is imminent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,642 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    "Hurry people, time running out"

    OOC: Is there anything of the raft left, debris we can make a sled out of?

    OOC: Technically yes, but it would take too much time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,385 ✭✭✭jasonb


    Glenn can sense were Dhinor & Evan is, but now the lake is visible he thinks that flying to the ship might be a better plan, if he can get it flying he could use it to get everyone out of this mess. He takes a second and then decides...

    OOC: While I have that second, remind me, is the ship on the island operational, I can’t remember! Could it be used to take off and get people onboard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Glenn casts his mind over the mountain. He finds Evan and Dhinor on the opposite side of the mountain. His remote viewing of the scout ship reveals the fusion plants are still working and the crystal iron shielding intact.

    Bakleth is a little loopy from the tranquiliser dart but still conscious.

    'Nestor. Please. Leave Bakleth. Save others.'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,385 ✭✭✭jasonb


    Glenn quietly curses to himself and then flies off towards the ship to see if he can get to it, and get it up in the air and load people on...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,829 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Verne sprints over to where Dhinor and RJ are; 'Captain can you walk? I'll get the other one'. He drags/carries RJ away from imminent danger.
    He quickly comms everyone, 'guys the ship is over on that island. If this beast is about to blow is there any point trying to get to it? It doesn't have a jump drive but it should be able to get us out of here using it's [OOC: I want to say sub-warp?] drives. It might be our best bet at survival'

    [OOC: not sure of the strength of Verne actually, would he be able to drag/carry the human?]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,385 ✭✭✭jasonb


    Glenn comms everyone... “Try to get everyone in the one place, I’m gonna try to get to the ship...”

    OOC: Yeah easily. It's the other way round with the drives, confusing because M-drive would make you think it's special, but it's the sub-warp one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Glenn flies through the ash clouds and lands on the miniature island that is beginning to collapse.

    The entry hatches of the Scout Ship are closed at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Evan comms Dyot, reports the eruption, asks is there's any assistance they can offer to the team at the raft site and can the digger back near town start digging a trench to divert any flow around Startown. He doesn't know anyone in Salbarii. **** em.

    "Ah, Dhinor.... My only love sprung from my only hate.."

    Edit :ooc - Molly, did you just Sprint the whole way round the volcano?

    Dyot responds this time.

    "I will prioritize the digging of a trench around Startown. It was good knowing you."

    Dhinor doesn't respond; all that exists in his world right now is the searing pain of crispy fried arm.

    Evan places his shotgun against Dhinors shoulder
    "I'm no surgeon but I reckon I can fix that? I mean, it's elective surgery, you can say no."
