“Understood,” Remy replied. “Take back-up. I don’ need de two of you wonderine of all alone.”

This situation is just getting crazier by the minute, he thought. It’s bad enough the people were resisting leaving-for thier own safety, but now an external threat seemed be arriving.

=^=Captain. there is a 90% chance rerouting power solution I designed will increase the effectiveness of the transporter system. Between transports power we will need to be recharged, taking 5 minutes between multiple transportations. Effectiveness will be decreased by larger groups but we can do it.=^=

Small rumbles began to shake the public house, as loose dust showered from the ceiling. Some more intuitive civilians got under their desk, most stayed drinking their drinks. This was however until the rumbling grew stronger in ferocity and even things hammered to the walls began shaking to the floor, as the intensity grew people began to wake up to the danger they faced as they began to take shelter in doorways or under tables. In the corner where the transporter’s pattern enhancers had been set up a grandfather clock slowly fell crushing and breaking two beyond repair. A smell of hot metal began to permeate the room.

=^=Petrov to CO. We are showing heating of the area we are at and it may endanger our ability to remain here.=^=

Petrov CE

=^=Begin lift-off procedures, Mr. Petrov. As soon as you’re ready, get de ship off de ground. Start transportine people aboard. We don’ ‘ave time to be fancy, jus’ get dem out of ‘ere!!=^=

Boudreaux (CO)

Alita wondered if this had finally gotten their attention.

“Alright people, are you finally listening? Off your asses and ready for transport! Let’s move!” she said taking firm control of the situation.

She motioned her people to start assisting, firmly if necessary, but no bullying was to be permitted.

There was a few grumbled but it seemed the recent tremors and the fact that the ship was in danger people began to slowly come to terms that they would have to leave. The smell of burning rock and metal was growing in strength, from outside the front of the public house an orange hue was starting to form at the windows and doors as steam began to rise from anything near the front of the house.

A cry from where the transporters had once been, “They’re broken!” The earlier rumble having caused the clock to smash the delicate pieces of equipment.

• GM Narwhal

Remy looked to where the buffers were set up and shook his head. “Do you know see what you’ procrastina-SHON has resulted in? You ‘ave no one to blame but you’selves. Not only ‘ave you put you’ own lives at risk, but you done the same fo’ my crew. We will ‘ave to make due wit’ what we ‘ave and ‘ope fo’ de best!!”

Boudreaux (CO)

The civilians though angry didn’t say anything, they understood what had happened and how their own decisions had led to this moment, another cry from above “It’s all around us!” Lava began to penetrate the outermost walls, seeping under the doorways as flames began to lick up the door itself. People began to head into the centre of the room some crying, some silent. The Public house had an upstairs, with a balcony and those who knew of it were already heading there as more of the molten liquid trickled in but slowly gained in momentum and quantity.

Alita tried to usher Remy and the others up the stairs, hopefully to the roof.

=^=Cel. Where the hell are you?=^= she asked her errant officer.

• Alita, MO/COS

Remy hesitated, making sure all the civilians and his crew were headed up the stairs before heading that direction himself.

As he bounded up the steps, he called to the ship. =^= Mr. Petrov, we are out of tome and need an emergency transport on all life signs in my vicinity. De building is goin up in flames. Get a lock on Ens. Theinna and beam him up as well.=^=

As Boudreaux finished speaking, the comms chirped and the XO’s came through. =/\= Captain, Reilly here. I think we have the colonists accounted for, but we have a new species here that either no one knew about… or no one told us about. They are sentient, sir. And they are in trouble. =/\=
