IC: Mason pushed off the wall and slowly padded over to her, sitting down on the bed next to her. He wanted to say something to her to try and make her feel better, but he couldn't think of anything about it that could help. He just said what little he could think of. "Hey, it's okay Tex." He said quietly, looking down at the ground.

At the same time as Alfonse shielded Peter, Icarus did the same with Alya. His suit was specially designed to block against enemy fire in similar fashion to a bullet-proof vest. It was a good thing too, because not long after they fled, a barrage of lasers fired at them from behind.
Mr. and Mrs. Paralus were shocked at this, and the former actually tackled one of the main shooters, "STOP! They're just KIDS!" The man was abruptly shoved off and subdued, but the distraction was enough for the fleeing group to move on out of sight. One of the soldiers spoke into a communication device on his wrist before breaking into a run in the direction they went, motioning over his shoulder for the others in his group to follow his lead.
The meeting place was actually closer to where Delilah and Chase were, so they would more than likely reach it before the others did. It was another aircraft hangar. There appeared to be only one ship there; black, triangle shaped and colossal in comparison with the craft they arrived in. The door was already open, fortunately.

Damocles and Kiba looked at Claudia and in unison said," Yes she said that." After they said that they started to eat the food that she had made. "Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Claudia smiles, "Well I also explained to Kiba that I'm not by any means normal. And I agreed to help find out what happened to your original mother." She starts before taking a small bite herself and continues, "But I firmly believe no one should be without a parent." She pauses and looks down at her stomach.

OOC: Sorry I took so long, and this is short!
IC: When he was thrown the 'dog', Chase's eyes widened and he nearly dropped it. Thankfully he didn't though and ended up putting it over his shoulder, running harder to keep up with her.

Aurora frowned, "What do you mean? Are you speaking of events, and the like?" "Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Raja nods and smiles softly.

Alfonse winced as he felt the sharp, burning sting of a laser pierce his left shoulder blade. He forced himself to continue running, nudging Peter along when he would fal behind. He wished he had the ability to turn and fight, to save the others, but knew that had he, he wouldn't be brave enough to anyway.
Delilah motioned to Chase to follow her, and she broke off from the path into an alleyway in order to distract the pursuing guards. Luckily, none of them carried any sorts of laser guns, or other deadly devices. Their only weapons were their voices, which they used loudly to announce the theft of the creature. Delilah was able to shake them off through the use of her detour, and she halted when she was certain the three of them were safe. Her hands on her knees, she sat panting exhaustedly.

(I'm gonna wait until Del and Chase make it onto the ship before continuing with the others.)
Aurora took a minute to calm down from her earlier scare, then proceeded to name off the most major things that had happened, beginning with the first resident to show up: Peter. She left out certain details, like being injured personally by Pandora.

She pauses and looks down at her stomach. Damocles looked at from his food and asked," Um miss what are you implying here?" Damocles hoped that this was going where he was hoping it was. Kiba meanwhile was just enjoying the food and didn't really care what was going on he was hungry.

(LOL Q) (If anyone is interested, I did my homework on how a laser gun would actually work. I'll put it in a spoiler because it is a semi-long explanation.) Quote: "The laser beam travels at the speed of light. This is a benefit not because targets will be unaware they are being shot - bullets arrive before the sound of their being fired does - but because soldiers will not have to factor in the time taken for the bullet to arrive. There is also no bullet drop. This actually limits laser weapons to within-visual-range targets.
The damage inflicted can be dialled up or down. This means that the same gun can be used for crowd control or assassination, increasing the versatility of the weapon. There is also no recoil.
Finally, shot-per-shot, ammunition is much cheaper for a laser weapon, as all you are firing is essentially reconstituted electricity.
When the beam heats flesh, it superheats the water in a thin layer of skin, creating plasma. This plasma then partially shields the target from the beam, reducing the amount of energy actually hitting them. In order to avoid this, the beam can be pulsed. If the beam is concentrated enough and the pulses fast enough, each one creates a small explosion in the target, leaving a crater. By the time the vaporised debris has cleared, the next pulse strikes the bottom of this newly formed crater. Dr. Schilling estimates that this effect can bore a 30-cm deep hole through soft body tissue before it collapses - about the depth of penetration of a handgun.
The range of the weapon must also be carefully calibrated. Laser weapons will use lens to focus the beam, as it would otherwise destroy the weapon firing it. Lens focus the light to a specific distance, where the beam is most intense (and hence most dangerous). The distance to the target would have to be known in advance, perhaps using a range-finding laser of some kind.
The weapon itself will probably produce an electrical buzz, so soldiers will no longer have to worry about being deafened. Upon impact the beam will produce a nice bang, which is the sound of numerous flesh-craters exploding. What you see is dependent on the wavelength of light used. Near-IR beams will ignite dust and pollen in the path of the beam; visible light will, obviously, be visible; near-UV will produce a fluorescent glow along the beam.
It will be very similar to a gunshot wound, to be honest, except there will be no bullet fragments. The wound will be not be neat and tidy because of the pulsed beam; instead it will be ragged. There will be little blood splatter behind the target as with a bullet exit wound, because the laser will not carry material out of the body as it travels."

Texi glanced over at him, but looked away whenever he turned towards her. She didn't know what else to say, or even if she wanted to say anything else. Instead she just took a bite out of one of the slices of fruit, a pear.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Claudia smiles and asks, "How would you to like to be the brothers to my baby?" She asks softly hoping they would understand that she was also in a way asking to be their mother.
Raja nods listening and smirking when Aurora skips over the injuries from Pandora but he could understand why seeing as she didn't know that he knew she was part werewolf.

IC: Chase put the creature down right next to him as he leaned on his own knees, trying to breath as heavily as he could. He couldn't help but laugh in between his panting. It was too long since he'd done something so adrenaline pumping. He held his breath for a moment to listen to his surroundings. He heard no more shouting or footprints so they might be safe. He quickly looked over at Del. "You still have the map? We need to get back to the ship as quickly as we can." He said.

Damocles turned his head to the side and asked," What does that mean miss." Kiba then lifted his head from the food and said," She is offering to be are mother you twig brain." Kiba then returned to his food leaving Damocles to just smile and jump on Claudia in joy.

Aurora finished speaking and leaned against the wall, still staring at the now-empty plate on the floor. The girl had a serious phobia of snakes.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." I'm making snacks and sliders for tomorrow because my bf, a friend, and I are doing a hp Marathon...
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Claudia laughs and smiles before lightly hugging Damocles. "Your foods gonna get cold dear." She says softly

Damocles smiled and then jumped off of Claudia and went over to his food and began to eat. Kiba looked up for a couple minutes which was enough time for him to say," Three minutes into having a new mother and you are already acting like a mamas pup."

Delilah nodded. "Let's go." She glanced down at the peculiar animal next to them, and wondered what exactly it was feeling at the moment, and if it would follow on command.

(I can't really do anything more until Chase and Delilah go to the ship. I guess I'll just RP the creature til then.)
The creature, for what it lacked in intellect, seemed to instinctively know the two strangers were trying to help it. And so the 'dog' managed to keep up with them just fine.
