Day 11 Catfish

[voidtreckermods]

Who: Rath, Curufin, Danny, Fëanor, Romeo, Elfnein, Reigen, Raven, Joss, Tony
What: Going to rescue the final group of people

OOC: Here is thread for the bonus mission for those who signed up. There will be a final evacuation post for everybody else that will go up in the next couple of days.

For this post.

Part A: Is a normal mingle/search thread where characters can top level and tag out into each others top level while they look for the entrance into the mountain.

Part B: Is the thread for finding the colony and escaping the mountain. Please tag only once per 'round'. The NPC journal will tag, which starts a new 'round' everyone can then tag in a thread underneath- do not worry about tagging order amongst the characters, just tag when you are able and do not worry if you miss a round, just tag into the most current one.

Vilyani blinked at the younger boy reaching out to comfort her and closed her eyes for a moment, fighting tears. Because he was right. She's not alright but they will live and for now that will have to be enough.

Looking out at the dying planet it is enough, they will be safe soon. "You're right. I'm not. But I'm not dead. Thanks to you lot." He's a child, though right now he is sounding wiser than his years. But many of the group are children, come to save them.

She keeps her hand in his, holding it tight even as they leave the pod to move over to the shuttle.

Quin didn't stop ushering people even as Fëanor spoke to her. "Yes they are all gone. Your son was reluctant but left with the tall man. Igni I believe and the teenager Kaito. Is that everyone?"

The last was to Rath who nodded with a terse smile.

"Let's get going."

The ground is shaking and the planet is clearly disintegrating. Curufn takes on the duty of ushering the passengers from the pod to the shuttle, and when they are all in and his trainmates are in as well, he climbs aboard too. When he is free to do so, he listens to the exchange between Fëanor and Quin and is relieved to hear that both Maglor and Kaito have left the Hub already, and that everyone else has left as well. He helps the villagers strap into their seats and then he gets into his.

"Like Quinn says, let's get the hell out of here!"

All gone.

Fëanor drops on the seat next to Curufin. He wouldn't be able to hide his relief at the confirmation he hears from Quin, even if he tried. He doesn't. There's no need. Now it's their turn to get out.

Once they're back on the station, the grumpy villagers would stop being their problem. Let them sort themselves and their currently updated worldview on their own. He'd just like to see one thing happen. That this one brave girl that called for help gets praised and not punished. Otherwise, he will be very much displeased... and he can do some pretty rash things when he's irritated.
Looking over at Joss, he suspects that he's not the only one with such a predicament.

Joscelin lets her hold his hand. It's what Romeo would do. Romeo would say something ridiculous to 'keep her spirits up,' but Romeo is on the other side of the escape pod and it falls to Joss to be a poor substitute. He tries for a bracing sort of smile.

"And think about the leverage you'll have over them now. Mum and dad tell you to do the laundry or tidy your room? You can just remind them who it was that saved the lives of everyone in your, er, village. Bunker? Cave?"

Okay, he's really not great at this whole cheering people up thing.

"I don't think I want to remind them of this. Ever." She said quietly but she seemed to appreciate the attempt. She had no idea who this child was but she was thankful that he was here and helping. She kept hold of his hand like an anchor until they arrived back at the station.

The shuttle took them up and off the world, anyone brave enough to look out of the window would see spots of the planet crumble or explode upwards as if the entire surface was a volcano. Ripples of fire, rivers of lava. The surface warped and shifted as they flew upwards towards safety.

They were ready for them on the other side, the villagers taken to a medical bay to be checked before joining the others from the planet. Any void treckers who seemed injured were also seen to but after that were not prevented from joining their peers and eventually rejoining the train.
