I have no idea as for Cressida, if someone wants to take her as a character then I guess we could do that but otherwise
We could just rp her between us I guess if not?)

Upon the chaos of the crowd, Micah spotted a lone figure standing still, arms wrapped up against their chest. Micah recognized the silhouette, and began dragging himself along in that direction.
"Come on," he said urgently to Josh, before racing up to who he know knew to be Tomas. The boy was visibly wincing, in pain from what was most likely a various number of wounds.
I could've prevented this, Micah thought, holding his hands out to grab Tomas' shoulders.
"Tomas?" He said, voice loud over the commotion, "Tomas, are you okay? Where's Skye and Cressida?" He had no idea that the volume of his voice was most definitely shooting spikes of pain into Tomas' head. All he knew was that they needed to find everybody, and they needed to leave.
An explosion sounded above them, and Micah barely registered that the Eagle's Nest had been destroyed before shards of glass began to rain down upon them. Instinctively, Micah shoved himself and Tomas into the ground, throwing his arms up into the air to block the two of them.
Intricate lines carved themselves onto Micah's skin, forming hundreds upon thousands of scales which seemed to harden and therefore protect him from the piercing glass.
After the shards subsided, the baffled boy drew his arms back down, watching as his skin appeared to be returning to its normal state.
What the hell?

"Come on," Micah was saying to Josh
The boy noticed Tomás at around the same time as his friend and moved forward, rushing to help Micah get Tomás to his feet. But obviously something was happening with the other male, who was shouting to Micah to shut up. Josh kind of understood what he was saying; his headache from before still remained, but far less intense and obviously nowhere near as bad as what Tomás was experiencing. But still, the noise around them wasn't helping.
And when the glass landed around them Josh lifted his arms to shield his face, and he could feel it landing in his hair. Some small shards of clear glass nestled there, and he brushed them away carefully. They had to keep moving.
And as Tomás was telling Micah to take him to the others, Josh saw a familiar figure behind them in the crowd; it was Skye, and she looked hurt too. Josh knew he had to help her.
"Micah, you two go ahead to the ship. I see Skye, I'll grab her and see if I can find Cressida and then I'll meet you there."
His voice was firm; he would not be questioned on this matter. He wanted to make sure Skye and Cressida were alright and it would be easier for everyone if Micah got Tomás to safety first.
And with that the redhead ran further into the crowd, shoving without apology between the groups of people to get to his friend. This was no time for manners and niceties.
"Are you okay?" Josh asked Skye "come on, we have to go to Micah's ship. Have you seen Cressida anywhere?"
He supported Skye as they moved through the crowd, the boy refusing to let anyone block their way. She was injured, clearly she had been hurt not just be the explosion but the crowd as well. He couldn't let that happen.

Skye let off a small shout as she was kicked in the side, while part of her was in dismay at the fact that her very possible death would be due to being trampled.
Go figure.
Forcing herself up some, and refusing to die in such a way, she noticed Josh there, and she almost broke into tears in joy. She saw Micah and Tomás not far from him, and sighed in relief. He then asked about Cressida, and she swung her head around.
She pointed in a direction, narrowing her eyes, “I think she’s over there!” She called out, seeing a similar looking figure to that of Cressida.
Josh was helping her then, she wanted to push him away because she wasn’t weak, but she took what she was given, just happy her friends were alive. Yet her gaze flickered to where she thought Cressida was, and she pushed herself away from Josh, running in that specific direction, albeit with a limp.
Cressida? Cressida!
Again, that voice in her head, it was clearly hers, but it sounded so loud, and jumbled voices reached her as well.
Josh, we have to save her!
She pushed herself faster, eyes narrowed in her concentration.
(I’m just saying for now that Skye saw Cressida and Cressida is out cold or something, up to you guys.)

Upon hearing Tomas' pleading commands, Micah narrowed his eyes, utterly confused. Why was Tomas acting like this?
It took him but a moment to realize that the boy seemed to be wincing at the slightest noise around them. Tomas' eyes were sealed tightly in pain, and his next words confirmed what Micah had just began to realize.
Turning to Josh as he spoke, Micah began to nod quickly. He gave an urgent, concerned last look to Josh as the boy left to find the others. Please hurry, he thought, kneeling down to Tomas once more to help him up.
"You heard him, let's go," He said quietly, hoping that Tomas would even be able to hear him over the chaos that surrounded them. He lead them out of the hub, looking back just once to see if Josh had found anyone. His attempt, however, was in vain. The blackness of the station prevented him from seeing any such sight.
Traveling quickly through the rings of the station, Micah swiftly began to realize the severity of the entire situation. Every time they passed by a window, he would catch sight of Qyzek and UNE fighters arcing through space. Thousands of explosions that couldn't be heard were lighting up his view, and Micah began to think that maybe there wouldn't be a ship waiting for them to get to.
Don't be destroyed, don't be destroyed... Micah pleaded internally as they rounded the last corner to the hangar. It was mostly empty, and dozens of ships were ablaze with brilliant flames of all colors. Once the flames would reach the fuel tank, a large explosion would rock the station, sending waves of heat toward Micah and Tomas.
Quickly catching sight of his ship, Micah breathed out heavily as a large weight lifted from his shoulders. He bounded over to it with Tomas, pressed his left palm against a small panel on the belly of it, and raced in as the bay doors opened downwards.
Come on, Josh... He thought, settling himself into the pilot's seat quickly before beginning to start up the ship.

(Okay so we’ll go with Cressida being out cold)
Josh’s eyes followed where Skye had been pointing, and he saw the figure she was talking about. It would seem to be Cressida, but she was definitely unconscious.
And then Skye broke away from him and ran to get Cressida, and Josh followed. They needed to get the other girl quickly so they could get to Micah’s ship. There was no time to waste anymore, and Josh no longer was concerned with the crowd, shoving them away to get to the two girls.
When he reached Cressida and Skye, he looked to Skye, letting out a light sigh as he looked at the unconscious Cressida.
“Will you be okay to help carry her? We carry her between us?” Josh suggested
He knew an unconscious body would be heavy, probably too heavy for him to carry himself; he needed Skye’s help if she was uninjured enough to give it. Once she agreed, he helped Skye to lift Cressida and then Josh pulled one of Cressida’s arms around his shoulder, knowing Skye would hopefully do the same. They could get her back this way.
Once they had lifted Cressida, Josh began to move again with Skye through the crowd. They were slightly slower than before, now weighed down by the unconscious girl, but they were running out of time and this urgency kept them moving.
Eventually, the two of them made it with Cressida through the crowd to Micah’s ship, which Josh could see the other boy had already started up so they could escape. Once inside, they found somewhere relatively comfortable to lay Cressida, Josh laying her in the recovery position for the moment. Hopefully she’d come back round soon.
Josh then headed over to Micah, who was in the pilot’s seat. There was no time to explain about Cressida’s condition right now, they had to get away.
“We’ve got everyone, let’s go!”
(I plan for Josh’s computer based powers to come into play soon. He will probably touch one of the controls on the ship or something and then he’ll end up inside the ship’s computer. But as well, like you said Sparky he can also touch the controls and know what they do if you like Also I know this post skipped a lot of stuff and I hope that’s okay with everyone I just wanted to get everyone on the ship you know?)

(From now on, Skye’s messages through telepathy to theirs/what she hears will be displayed in italics with bolder font(that’s the plan anyways).
And I probably won’t introduce it for a while longer, the idea is, is at her current stage she can hear others, and the messages she has haven’t exactly sent out clearly, they’ve only been in her head, really. But I guess if someone wanted to, one of their characters could have heard it.
I plan to give that ‘sending out a message a semi-dramatic introduction.)

When Josh and Skye entered the ship - helping each other to carry Cressida's limp body - Micah closed the hatch immediately. A large, resonating hum was coursing through the interior of the ship, and Micah's hands flitted over the controls in front of him.
"Got it," He said tersely, raising the ship into the air. The massive hangar doors were already opened, and a thin, translucent field of blue separated them from the vast expanse of space. The field acted as a gravitational and vacuum barrier. It would allow ships to pass through freely, and that's exactly what they were about to do.
The only thing keeping them from escaping now was the Qyzek.
"I need a copilot!" He shouted backwards to no one in particular, shoving the throttle downward before pushing on the separate handles which propelled the craft forward.

Skye nodded, her eyes set on Cressida’s prone form as she helped Josh pick her up, and placed one of Cressida’s arms around herself.
The rest of the way, she was silent, trying not to worry too much, and once they got there, she st Cressida down without much of a complaint. Then the doors closed, and she ran over to them, resting her fist on it as she pulled in a few breaths. That was, coughing, before she spoke, “What about our families?” She snapped, turning on Micah and Josh with a glare. “I need to-we need to-“ she huffed out. Everyone knew that her friends were her family, both of her parents were extremely busy and mostly set her up on lessons to keep her busy. They were gone most of the time and she barely saw them.
It wasn’t secret that she loved her friends more, that they were her real family, but a part of her refused to leave without her real family. “What if they die?” She questioned again, balling up her fist in frustration.

(Okay I’m gonna do a Josh thing now
For the moment I’ll just let him have the intuition thing with the controls as part of his clairvoyance but I won’t let him go into the computer just yet because I feel like touching the controls and immediately fainting is not an ideal quality in a copilot somehow xD)

Skye was asking about their families, and Josh bit his lip. He had family too that he was leaving behind, he knew that, and he didn’t really want to think about it. It would be too painful. But he had to answer Skye’s question.
“We can’t get them all on this ship, Skye,” Josh said soberly “and we don’t have time, more to the point. We can’t stay here, if we’re going to get away from the OASIS we have to move right now. And I’m sorry about that, God knows I’d like to rescue my family too. But it just can’t happen.”
It pained him, really it did, but what other choice did they have? Going back for them would certainly be a death sentence, and there was no way of knowing where all of their families were and if they would be able to get them all in time. No, they just had to leave.
And when Micah called for a copilot, Josh moved into the copilot’s seat beside him.
“You’ve got one,” he said with a nod
And his hand touched one of the controls, and suddenly the splitting headache was back, and a vision of the control he was touching being used. He knew exactly what it did now.
It was Levi, and Josh could see him laughing with Micah as they sat together in the ship, and then Levi pressed the control, and the navigation systems for the ship lit up.
But as the vision faded the headache remained, if not worse than ever, and it was painful enough to make his breathing sharp. This was strange. His eyes were wide for a moment, and he shook his head. This was strange, very strange. And everything about that day so far had been so unusual. This was the same thing that had happened before with the girl’s toy, and suddenly it was happening again. Why? What did it mean? Why now?
Not to mention the added emotional pain of seeing his missing friend for the first time in weeks as if he were right there, as if he were with them again.
The boy just swallowed, and pressed the control to boot up the navigation systems.
“Let’s go.”

Ahhhh I love her as a fighter and a spy she’s awesome Oh gosh well I think the ‘dying’ has more drama so maybe do the telepathy first? I don’t know they’re both really cool)
