"At the moment..." Micah breathed out, his eyes scanning over the various sparks of light - each of which were displays of the immense evidence of human life on the planet. Mars had long since been terraformed, and it was teeming with life brought from their home planet - earth. "I believe the Qyzek are carving their way into the heart of our solar system. But you saw how quickly the UNE responded to the attack on the OASIS. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the station was saved." There was a hint of disbelief behind his words, even if everything he had said about the attack was true.
It was odd, really. How quickly the United Nations of Earth had responded. It had seemed that only minutes after the first bomb they had been there.
As if they had known - impossibly so - that the OASIS was going to be attacked.

Josh couldnโt help but agree with Skye; this was all very strange. And he nodded when she suggested x-ray imaging.
โIโll see if I can do that,โ he agreed
He felt bad for Tomร s, who had been very quiet for a while and was obviously in a lot of pain. Now he was having to just trust Josh when he was telling him to put his arm into some random box thing.
He asked for a trashcan, which Skye promptly brought before saying she wanted to speak with Micah and would be talking to Josh next. He just nodded again in response. He was a little nervous for that conversation, but for now he put it out of his head to focus on everything else.
โOkay, this might hurt because itโs gong to fix your arm and thereโs no way of healing a broken arm that I know of that doesnโt hurt. I think itโs going to regrow the bone and fuse it back together, which should fix the injury. Itโll fix any cuts on you as well.โ Josh explained
And now he turned his blue eyes to the unconscious Cressida. He didnโt know what to do about her, there had to be some sort of machine there he could use to monitor her vitals or something, or something to help him figure out what the problem was. Tomรกs nodded a thank you to Skye as she brought him a trashcan. He was glad he got it in his hands when he did because he immediately threw up into it. He felt a wave of relief as he spits the last of it into the trashcan. The pressure in his head fully released and he felt like he could breathe clearly again. Sticking his arm into the machine, Tomรกs took a deep breath and prepared for the machine to do its magic. The pain was awful. It was almost as bad as when he initially broke his arm. But nothing compared to the pain in his head from earlier. Gritting his teeth, the boy groaned until the pain subsided and the machine stopped whirring and allowed him to take his arm out. He wiggled his fingers and stretched his arm. Good as new. "You know I'm going to ask now right?" Tomรกs muttered glancing at Josh. He was quiet for a few moments before leaning back in his chair and raising an eyebrow at him. "How did you know how to work the machine? Or the Ship for that matter?" he knew Josh didn't ever copilot with Micah. That was Levi's thing.

Josh was concerned for Tomร s when he had his arm in the machine, because the other boy was clearly in a lot of pain. Perhaps this hadnโt been such a good idea after all. They didnโt really need Tomร s throwing up any more, either, and the pain could be enough to make that happen again if they werenโt careful.
But soon afterwards when the other boy removed his arm from the machine, it seemed completely healed, prompting a relieved smile from Josh. Sure, he had these visions, but he still wasnโt entirely sure they were always accurate. It wasnโt kind of a risk he had taken there with his friend, but he was glad to see it had paid off.
Josh let out a little chuckle at the first question Tomร s asked; of course the boy knew that he was going to ask him. Especially because heโd asked him not to ask about it. That was basically guaranteeing questions, to be fair.
โIf I tell you, youโll think Iโm crazy. And Iโm not entirely convinced Iโm not.โ Josh warned
He paused as he considered whether to explain what was happening. Of course, he might not be crazy. His visions had proven accurate so far and it seemed that he wasnโt the only one who had been acting strangely. Micahโs instincts and reflexes had been a little too good when they were escaping the OASIS, for example.
โOkay,โ he said after a moment, โso on the OASIS I touched this kidโs toy on the floor during the attack, and I saw a vision of the kid getting the toy for the first time. And the same thing has been happening with the controls for the ship, and with this medical equipment. I keep getting visions of the equipment and the controls being used before, telling me what they do.โ
But maybe he wasnโt the only one, since Micah had acted strangely and he could swear Skye had been acting a little unusual too, though to be fair it was hard to tell considering everything that had happened to them all recently. But perhaps Tomร s had experienced something strange as well?
โHave you had anything weird happen with you?โ Josh asked
Honestly, just to feel less like he was crazy, Josh would honestly take almost anything in response to that question

As if they had known - impossibly so - that the OASIS was going to be attacked. Skye nodded, she noted this too with the UNE coming to the rescue, โItโs suspicious, Dukeโs words to you, the OASIS covering up Levi being missing as him dying...โ her blue-green eyes focused on the image ahead, the planet which could provide some safety. โItโs all connected, it has to be.โ She commented, walking over, โAnywhere I can take notes?โ She then questioned. She wanted to keep track of the clues, find and pinpoint what was going on. The UNE responded too fast to not be suspicious, โItโs almost as if the UNE knew OASIS would be attacked, and yet they let it go through for some reason...why?โ She wondered.
She was, in all honesty, pinging ideas off Micah. Yet her eyes focused ahead, โAnd these...strange things with all of us...what could they mean?โ She added on, looking his way.

Micah leaned over the control panel, pressing a few keys in order to enable a holographic notepad. He slid the outputter to his right, eager that Skye would be the one to take notes. Although not sure, Micah felt the beginnings of a dull, aching pain in his brain. Something which he thought to be the start of a foresight.
Clenching his teeth to keep the pain at bay, Micah refrained from answering Skyeโs questions. His focus was set on concealing his pain, and at the moment he was doing an awful job of it.
โI donโt knowโฆ I donโt know,โ He said stupidly, pinching the bridge of his nose. A fog fell before his vision, and in mere seconds Mars and the present reality began to melt around him.
Another few seconds passed, and upon opening his eyes Micah found himself inside of an endless dimension of grays. โH-hello?โ He called out, his voice drowning in the infinite space. Acting upon their own, Micahโs feet began to lead him forward.
Spirals of gray fog shifted beneath him, seemingly trying to evade his movements. The ripples below repositioned once more, beginning to form a maze of skyscrapers. Color returned, and Micah even sensed an odor of salt wafting from a nearby ocean.
A lone, tall figure stood in the middle of the street. She was several yards in front of Micah, and her back was turned to him. โHelloโฆ?โ Micah said again, more warily this time. This caused the woman to turn slightly, and her eyes fixated into his own.
The gaze broke his connection, and Micah was sent rocketing back into the ship.
He opened his eyes, surprised to see that nothing around him had changed. Skye was to his right, and it seemed as though no time had passed relative to her whilst he was having his vision.
Jericho.
The thought, uninvited, pierced Micahโs mind. But just as suddenly as he had it, the boy knew what it meant.
โWeโre going to Jericho,โ Micah said, immediately beginning to type in the coordinates to the navigation system. He didnโt know how he knew, but Jericho was the name of a large Martian city. They would find help there.
Or at leastโฆ Micah thought that they would.
โGet everyone in their seats.โ

(Oof.
On another note Iโm on my iPad again and have service. Hereโs what happened.
My mom/dad are driving through the night, Iโm sleeping, morning comes(I didnโt sleep much, at all), and our car isnโt like, working by morning and a rod/valve broke and basically broke the whole car b/c it canโt really be fixed. So we had to wait for my sis who lived 4 hours away(the one we were vising) to pick us up, and she does but we had to wait like 6 hours in total at a gas station(which we luckily were able to get to before the car just didnโt).
I mean, other crappy crap happened today but thatโs the big, main negative and Iโm just so happy to be in a house right now, laying on a futon/cough and just checking on games because the town we go at stuck in did not have service.
So yeah great day.)

Skye began noting things when he pulled up the notepad and slid the outputter to her, her fingers skipping over what appeared to be a type of keyboard, yet without the keys. Nervous impulses and touch receptors of the hologram would transmit her typing, as would the sensors that would sense her location in regards to the notepad.
Simply, she was typing, notes that included things that she had priorly spoken to Micah about. Yet it didnโt slip his attention when he seemed to snap. He was in pain, it was obvious and as clear as day.
She almost asked if he was alright, but none of them were, and none of them would be for a while. So she let it go, escpecially when he seemed to lose touch with his current reality.
Moving quickly, she pulled up a new notepad, noting what she saw of him, the distant look, and when he mentioned Jericho, she noted it, before closing the tab before he could ever see it, hopefully his thoughts were elsewhere. Not that she was incriminating, but she didnโt want the others to know how invested she was becoming in this. Another mystery to be solved.
โJericho?โ She asked, aiming for unsure, and not exactly getting it, her meant-to-be-question sounded more like a statement and reiteration.
When he told her to get the others, she had to refrain from rolling her eyes, she was never one who enjoyed being told what to do, no matter the situation. She was bullheaded at times and as stubborn as a mule.
โYeah, sure thing,โ she said, turning around, it would give her a chance to speak with Josh anyways, if she could gather more on the supposed abilities the others were possessing, maybe she could inch together what was going on with her.
I hear voices, but they are so random...I might just be making them up? It doesnโt seem out of the ordinary for that to happen, does it?
Her footsteps were light as she found herself grabbing at a small communicator, before lowering her face towards it, โEveryone her in your seats, weโre going to Jericho.โ
Afterwards she dropped the communicator back, walking to her own seat and sitting.
(I said communicator because I assume the ship has one/she does from when she built them with Levi.
Iโm still experimenting with like, what she does in the group haha.)

โSound?โ Josh repeated
His voice was quiet and thoughtful. He wasnโt entirely sure why that was, but it was certainly strange. He supposed they would just have to see whether anything else strange began to happen with Tomร s and whether he began to display abilities like Josh and the others seemed to have. And who knew if Cressida had abilities too. The problem was trying to figure out what caused them.
He didnโt say anything more to Tomร s about the sound problem, though, because at that moment a voice came over the communicator. They were going to Jericho and they needed to get back in their seats and strap in.
โSure, weโll talk later,โ Josh assured with a nod.
Then he left Tomร s and Cressida (idk guys should she be awake now? XD) and headed to rejoin Micah, who was putting coordinates into the navigation system. They already had a safe place to go, which was a good sign. Skye was still with him, it was she who had spoken over the communicator.

Skye glanced at Josh and Tomรกs as they re-entered the room. Her features were a bit mischievous, her arms crossed as she turned to Josh. โAlright, time to talk,โ she commented, her notepad pulled back up, โAnd Tomรกs, you as well, Cressida too if sheโs up to it.โ
Her gaze held no room for argument, she was on a task. Part of it to prove she wasnโt crazy, and part of it due to curiousity.
Part of her viewed it all as being interlocked and connected. Maybe the abilities connected to Leviโs disappearance in some way, or the attack? It was a loose string, and she was blindly pulling at it, but it was probably better than ignoring her gut instinct.

Oh great, it was time to talk.
This wasnโt great news to be honest, but there was no point hiding everything that had happened now heโd told Tomร s and so he might as well share with the whole group. Besides, Skyeโs expectant look told the redhead that he really wasnโt going to be getting out of this one.
โOkay, time to talk it is,โ Josh agreed
He knew what she was going to ask about, but that was good because at least now he knew what to say, and Cressida was alright. That was good, and he could focus on that. And as Tomร s asked Skye what she wanted to talk about, Josh locked his blue eyes on the girl.
It was finally time to get some answers, from everyone this time.

Skye noticed the chagrin her friends shared, the almost mirrored expressions they all shared. But she needed(wanted) answers, and this was how to get them.
She glanced at Josh, and then Tomรกs. โYou both acted strange earlier,โ she noted, they should know how perceptive Skye was, not much got by her without her reading into it, picking out clues. โAnd not from normal pain. Tomรกs, you seemed pained, and seemed to hold your head, like you were having a panic attack, but we all know thatโs not what it was. It was as if something was hurting you, furthermore than a wound.โ She mentioned.
She looked at Josh next, โYou looked clueless when copiloting, and yet you seemed so distant for a moment and then knew exactly what to do...โ she noted, the ebony and cyan haired girl waited then, swiping her holographic screen to reach her notepad on the abilities.
โAnd Cressida, you didnโt have any noticeable wounds,โ she finally noted, before raising her sharp gaze to the three of them.
โSo whatโs going on?โ She questioned, leaning forward slightly, daring objection.
