Day 11 Catfish - everybody else!

Evacuation

Once Rath and Voidtrecker volunteers go off to Blue Mountain the rest of the scientists get ready for the final evacuation off planet.

Earthquakes are regular enough now that it seems strange when the earth is not shaking. It makes it difficult to pack the last of the equipment, get the final lindusi into their containers and start boarding the shuttles.

They need help everywhere, people to ride with the lindusi, others to keep the evacuees calm. Others to carry equipment and load shuttles. People to keep children occupied and out of the way. Slowly but surely the shuttles are loaded and the journey begins.

Space Station

There are scientists and guards waiting at the space station to help unload, lindusi need unloading and taken to containing pens. People need reunited with those that evacuated before them and registered, in an attempt to make sure everyone is accounted for.

The Voidtreckers may do what they like once the work is done, a time to relax after a job well done. Or to fret about those who are still on the planet.

In the control room there is an attempt to keep radio contact with the group on the ground, but as the planet destabilises more it gets more difficult. Signs show that the planet has mere hours before it can not sustain human life anymore.

But the scientists seem to have some faith that these void warriors are up for the job.

Once he catches sight of her, she won't be able to get away without exchanging a few words. Maedhros has a strong soft spot for children and he will cease his pacing - for the moment - and kneel down to her height.

"Are you well?"

He has no tolerance for those that threaten or frighten young ones. If his life had been kinder, he might have been a decent father. Of course certain other factors would have needed...ah...changing for that to be, too. But he has adopted a pair of twins and if more children need him, he will help them. Such things come naturally to the eldest of six brothers.

He was very tall and so his kneeling was considerate, she wouldn't have to stretch her neck so much. She nodded, she was well. She had done well in the mission and hadn't been injured.

"Do you be being well? You do be being worried."

"I am worried." he sees no reason to lie to her, "My father and brother are on that planet and they are...rash."

To put it lightly. Maedhros gives her a small, tired smile.

"But they do also be being strong and very smart." If Curufin could defy gods and go to different worlds and survive then he could survive a dying planet. She liked Curufin, he was very interesting to talk to.

"They should be hurrying up though." She had no idea how long a planet took to die. Longer than a person for sure.

"Yes, that is so. Are you familiar with either my father or brother?" he loves the pair of them deeply, but his features soften a bit when he imagines one of his kin speaking to this daughter of Man in particular. Maedhros might be a mighty Elf - a strong warrior and leader - yet he has a soft spot for children.

"Indeed. I think I will be cross with them." after he picks them up in a tight embrace.

"Yes I do be knowing both of them." She nodded, "Your father did be giving me cake." She grinned, that was enough for her to like him. "And we did be destroying rocks in the fighter ship together. I did be speaking to your brother a lot. He do be being good to talk to."

Almost too easy to talk to, it was hard to hold her tongue around him with his gentle questions.

Well, that does it. Maedhros dips down and lifts her into his arms, smiling gently at her small features.

"Cake is difficult to resist." even for old, grumpy Elves, "Did you speak to Kano...Maglor...or Curvo...Curufin?" he uses both names, hoping not to confuse her, "Maglor is the musician and Curufin is the warrior."

"Curufin, he do be being very interesting to be talking to." She was sure he was a great warrior as well, he had said he had been a warrior all of his life and that had been a long time indeed.

"I agree, but I am biased. I have known him since he was newly born." he smiles at those dear memories, "He is the one who takes the most after our father."

"Did you no be knowing all your brothers since you did all be being born?" Surely that was the point of brothers. Like sisters.

She isn't thinking about sisters, it's a stupid topic.
