Ghubari nodded and waved those going with her closer. “Stay close.” She didn’t dare look back to Konral who should be doing the one she needed most right now: keeping her crew safe. Instead she brushed his mind with hers. We’ll see each other soon. They were not just words, they were a promise and that was never something she made casually.
Bennett followed right behind the Captain. He was scared, still unsure, but trusted his captain to lead them to where they needed to go.
OOC: I fly out today and probably won’t be able to check in on things for a couple days, depending on wifi quality. Ian, you know Ghubari well enough so please feel free to use her to keep the action moving if you need to.
OOC Got it :-) Happy trails.Fl. Captain Koraia, CO
Nico looked up at Nightskin with bright grass green eyes. He could stay that would be safest, but she might need him, and there was no other choice that could be made. with a toothy grin, that one could have sworn came from Stark aka Shadow Brother, Nico nodded, and brushed her mind with, ‘I ready, we go’ he would not let her go it alone, it was too much like when he lost his other person, this time he would be there to protect. Scooping up his back pack and slipping it on, he bleeked readiness. As they moved towards the portal Nico bounded lightly across a crewman that was down, nuzzled the man’s neck for a second, and relieved him of a few items that he had been carrying. He wouldn’t need them and Nico might. Stuffing them into his back pack, well he ate the candy bar, but the other stuff he put away. There were a few items that he took from the backpack and put on himself. Including a belt, and goggles. It seemed the little thing had a penchant for acquiring items from places. Nico waved goodbye to speaks with souls and left him with the image of Nico attacking people’s unguarded throats and hamstrings to protect Nightskin, a promise he would protect her.
Nico the tree cat, hehehehehe I now has a Pew Pew too!
Orvos had ideas, and Nico was part of them. He strolled over to the 6 legged creature. He took off his wrist device that activated his drone and moved to Nico. “Oi! Mr. Nico, I have something for you.”
He held out the device for Nico to put on. The device would automatically fit the person wearing it. In this case, it shrunk to fit snuggly on one of Nico’s arms/legs. He then put the circular disk on the top of Nico’s head. “This is a drone. It flies by using your brain to activate its abilities. And…technically it is just big enough for you to likely ride on.” He gave the feline a wink before then moving towards Stark.
Kaylee stepped over to Ghubari’s side and instinctively reached out and squeezed the hand of her Captain, her friend.
Then turning her eyes towards the Guardian, she awaited the signal, a flash of determination crossing her face.

Laraan kept close to the group in their collective shadows, following just a step behind.
Karina watched Laraan and shook her head. Before she left, she had murmured to the now ‘suddenly healed’ woman, “Be safe…” Something told her she and the counselor and Stark hadn’t finished whatever the three were meant to finish. Which was odd, since she never had such thoughts before with anyone else.

Ghubari had thought Laraan would have gone to help the med folks, but was just as glad to have her with them. Who knew what everyone would actually need to do.
Michail nodded in satisfaction as the assembled group “loaded for bear”. “Anything you jump through the portal with will be yours on the other side.” He handed the Captain a device that looked like a small hand grip. “This is a temporal reintegrator. Once you’ve completed your mission, you’ll need to get together with your past selves and hold it together, it will do the rest and then someone will collect it from you.” Whispering now Michail continued “To succeed you may need to sacrifice either your past or present selves, hopefully not both, but you need to be prepared for that should the need arise”.
Koraia accepted the device with all the intense respect it demanded. It would be the crux of everything working in their favour in the end. If they couldn’t fix the time issue, it was all moot, even if they saved the ship. “Understood, she said solemnly, trying to avoid thinking about temporal paradoxes and other headache inducing thoughts.
Orvos moved to Stark and him his other wrist device. “Its my personal shield that you’ve seen me use more than once. You were obviously captured. Not sure how, but perhaps this may help?” he inquired with a slight grin. “When you activate it, anyone touching you will be encompassed by the bubble shield it creates. Anyone not touching you and is near you will likely get thrown back. Any incoming blows deflected. I’m sure you get the picture?”
Laraan gave Orvos a thankful look. “Stay close please, I cannot shake the feeling that all of this is connected and the three of us have done this before. I think we need your El-Aurian senses now more than ever.” she said.
Stark grinned right back at the two of them. “I’ve always wanted a try with this Orvos, I thank you.” He looked over at Nico, “I’m not sure the world is ready for a flying Nico however” and with that he laughed from deep within his soul. “Let’s do this”.
Meridyth spoke tersely as the sounds of fighting came closer and the sounds of an escape pod taking off filtered across the distance. “One minute, be ready”.

Ghubari nodded.
When it was time and she was given the confirmation, Ghubari took a deep breath. “Let’s go, folks. Destiny awaits us.” And then she stepped through the portal.
OOC: I’ve changed the thread topic, but someone please snip for me soon, please?

Orvos nodded as he moved forward into forever.

Laraan slipped her tiny hand into Stark’s big paw and took the step with him.

OOC going to assume Kaylee and Bennett are here on this trip ride :-) Let the good “times” roll.
The feeling they experienced as they stepped over the threshold would have ripped their sanity clean away if it had lasted but a moment in “time”. The feeling was one of having ones very essence spread to all point of time and space simultaneously and then snapped back to a place displaced from where you first began. As their senses adjusted to “reality” again they realised that they were in the Arboretum, off in the distance slightly out of sight a group of people were gathered around a now familiar rock.
It was 47 minutes until destruction. The Past Captain was on the bridge and the enemy ship was between them and the planet, Past Orvos was in engineering and Past Pierce was at large hatching plans to stop them all including sabotaging the energy conduits. Eventually the fateful shot would be fired that would travel the energy conduits to the reactor core at precisely the moment the Athena would give her life to save them from imminent destruction.
