There were personnel standing by in the Gulvisa Ruonor. The Yome's Wapoin'asa Jaqsi stood with a Wun Wapointe held in her tail. They had been advised that there were injuries among the crew and that they were bringing survivors back to the ship. 'Bad enough to survive what they did, but to be so young. I see a lot of counseling in the future for those baglii.' she thought.

Also on deck 5 by the starboard airlock Niu'te Ruo'sa personnel were waiting to help those who EVA'd into the ship and out of their armors.
 
Flitter / Yome Ismaopate

Murr fell into a light doze, missing the majority of the flight to the Yome Ismaopate. Even though her ears were perked and occasionally twitched. She felt drained, sticky and dirty. Even with the dull pain, it felt good to finally relax and let the others provide for her safety. She had done her part and did it with a willingness so that other may enjoy life as much as she does.

An eye opened when the interior of the cabin pressure changed, followed by the other opening to see what happening around her. Till Miali gave the word that it was clear to move, Murr remained secured to her seat.

She made sure the Doctor's bag was still with her that contained her Dahome's Data harddisk, the samples she had gathered for future analyst in gathering evidence to lead them on the trail of the culprits who had made Tota and Sogi homeless.

She was determined to walk off the Flitter onto the Yome Ismaopate, same way she left it. On her feet standing proud. She had brought back survivors she had helped protect, befriended in the heat of battle and mission.

Murr was going to uphold her end of the bargain, regardless if someone else beat her to it. It was good to show that the young would be accepted even if it wasn't with kin, family. For new blood was always accepted into the community of family and clan. Families had gone broke fighting the system to ensure that the young had a place to call home, felt secure and wanted. To be guided with love as if they were flesh and blood born into the family. It wasn't strange to see a Qakturo baqli with Tula parents or vise versa and in between on Ikâtue. All young life was precious and needed to be taught the ways of the Poku Saeruo Degongjo. To be a productive asset to the continuance of the species.
 
Flitter

Despite the rough note the trip had begun on back on the Âmuso Ibâka, Miali managed to pilot the salvaged Vona'â the short distance back to their mothership without further incident. Anyone looking may have noticed that she had a pair of headphones plugged into the console, bobbing her head now and again as she listened to a private concert to get her in the mood to fly. Being at the controls for even this brief ride was relaxing to the Touro, and in some ways it was like a victory lap for her first successful mission. Though she had to take it easy on the speed as she had more than just herself to worry about. For her passengers and hangers-on, though, it was many other things... the hope for succor and safety paramount for the injured Murr and the two baqli.

But soon this silent interlude in space was to end, as the open clamshell doors leading into the Gulvisa Ruonor beckoned the shuttle craft home. "Beginning approach... time for the fan club outside to jump ship," the savvy pilot signaled to her handful of Dahome armored riders to begin to disengage for a final EVA to the airlock, as she simultaneously eased up on the throttle to the plasma engines. The sound of the maneuvering ion thrusters took their place as Miali made adjustments to reduce speed to minimum, deftly spinning the six-person craft as if in a slow motion pirouette. Inertia from this carried it backwards into the waiting open spot in the bay where the cradles could swing out to accept it.

The shudder of the craft being locked into place let everyone remaining in the Flitter know that the ride was now over, the cabin beginning to shift pressure and the docking hatch opening to the waiting personnel outside. "And that's a wrap. You can begin unfastening your harnesses now, kittens. And thanks for flying Syavis airlines!" grinned the grey-furred Âdornorpa'a as she slid the headphones off her ears. "Looks like you all have your own fans waiting outside to welcome you, too... Sar Whisk, you even got the Wapoin'asa worried enough to come out here. Don't disappoint." This last part was a warning to the Tula warrior, in reference to the sight of Jaqsi through the cockpit glass obviously here for the injured poku. But Miali had already figured Murr would try to do the prideful thing and get out under her own power... she would probably do the same in her shoes.
 
Flitter

Murr began to unstrap when she heard Miali give clearance. By the time she had the last of the straps free, Jasqi had bullied her way into the shuttle, having dealt with the Daho'as before and knowing how prideful they were. She climbed over the cargo that flitter also carried with years of practice from previous dealings of auxiliary crafts no matter how big or small. Or what they was loaded with.

"Gotcha!" Jasqi roared with authority, "Just stay put, kitten." She pulled out her scanner, not that she didn't trust La'ta's readings, but to confirm what La'ta had sent in advance and to see if there was any more damage caused by the Daho'as incredible stupidly of pride these young Daho'as had to show that they was indestructible to their peers and superiors alike.

Murr jerked and looked startled at feeling the hand pressing her back down onto seat she was trying to vacate and the voice of the senior Wapoin'asa in her ears close by. She wilted back in the seat under her authority. She gave a nod and the Paw-speak (sign language) of compliance.

Jasqi wished it was anyone else other than Murr. For she had the biggest chip on her shoulder to prove that she was more than worthy and to win her detractors over to her side. This one was destined to burn bright and quick to pass into obscurity before her time, but not under her care to keep the Yome Ismaopate Crew from Tin-Ta'a to the lowest of low Savyjo. That included prisoners of war and to unexpected passengers like Sogi and Tota.

"You're damn lucky to have Sâvyjo'sa Qoji part of your team, Savyjo'sa Whisk. Do you want to let her down by messing up her hard work?" Jasqi growled at her in her gruff manner, finishing up her preliminary scans. "You just say put till I'm ready for you."

She gave Murr's shoulder a squeeze as she looked over the two Baqli and then to Syaboa. She proceeded to scan Syaboa with the same care she shown Whisk. "At least you have more sense than Whisk."

Exterior of the Flitter

Holding on tightly to Latâ during the trip, Memi released them both from the flitter as the drew near to the Yome Ismapate. Still holding on to her, he used the armor's maneuvering systems to bring them up to the Air lock. "I'm going to let go now, can you make it to the airlock?" He spoke calmly to Latâ as they floated a few meters from the hatch. He wanted to get in and back down to the bay the flitter was parking in. He needed to get a technician to help him get the Brain plugged in to the ship so that it's life support systems could go back to full power.

His thoughts drifted to a long work list he was creating for himself. He needed to go over all of the logs he had gathered and write a full report on the matter, also Memi wondered about getting the brain rigged so he could have access to her in his quarters. Even with all of that he knew he needed to bath and maybe sneak some real food from the mess back to his quarters, so he can eat and work on everything.
 
Gulvisa Ruonor - Outside Flitter

Alpin, and his apparently bigger-than-everyone-else frame decided he would do better assisting those who came out of the flitter when they came out rather than trying to fit himself into what was inevitably a tight squeeze. He did spot several heavy things he would be more than capable of lifting and carrying to wherever they needed to be moved once there was room for him to do so.

Gulvisa Ruonor - Inside Flitter

The much smaller Yanga though was able to slip into the flitter behind Jasqi, slipping nimbly into some free space beside the Wapoin'asa. While Jasqi was busy with Murr and Syaboa, Yanga turned his attention to the pair of baquli. Carefully he helped them out of the flitter harnesses, crouched so that he was level with them and quite clearly not a threat. "Welcome to the Yome." Yanga said softly "Looks like we're both new here," As Yanga had boarded the Yome only twenty minutes or so prior to the Flitter landing in the gulvisa ruonor. "Why don't you come outside with me so the Wapoin'asa can do her work?" Yanga hadn't missed the significance of the seating arrangement between the pair of baqli and Murr. "We can wait for your friend out there" He added, offering each of them a paw.
 
Inside Flitter

Sogi and Tota stood up. Sogi looked at Yanga, "Thank you Sar, but we are capable of exiting without assistance. We are not injured and we are not newborns." she said with chuckle.

The two were all too familiar with the concept of being moved out of the way of things that elders needed doing. Living on a starship both had developed a keen knack for being unobtrusive, and how to get out of the quickly. Being smaller than everyone currently in the crowded flitter, they easily maneuvered around the edges and made their way out of the Flitter. After crossing the ramp to the actual deck the both stepped aside and looked around. They unsealed and removed their helmets. "This flitter bay is huge." Tota exclaimed.

After completing her scans Jaqsi turned back to Murr. "Come with me. I will let you walk off the Flitter on your own, provided you allow me to assist you. Once on the Yome however, you will be taken on a gurney. You've done a right thorough job of undoing some of the repairs Sar Qoji did."
 
Flitter

Murr gave a smile hearing Sogi and waited for the others to clear out first. What could she say, at least she was still mobile enough to walk. With assistance, Murr stood up, keeping the doctor's bag she had scrounged on Ibaka with her. along with her pad with her mission report.

With her ruined Dahome (armor) already taken off and the enemy power armor also gone, there was plenty of room for her walk with assistance off the Flitter. Seeing the gourney waiting for her. She looked hopeful at Jasqi, who just pointed at the gurney. She sighed and laid down on the gurney, like she was under protest and being ordered to, but thankful for it anyways.

She passed off her report to the Senior Officer or Non-Com along with the Doctor's bag with the samples and her Dahome's Hard-drive so that everyone and their brothers could take a look at it.
 
Flitter

Syaboa watched everyone leave "I am going to take this armour off and have a nice hot shower" she smiled as she stood up then she got scanned and was a bit confused with it but nodded 'Must of been to just if I was okay' she thought as she removed her armour, where the wound on her stomach was there was a large red patch on her clothes. She hoped no one noticed as she quickly made her way out of the Flitter as she saw Murr she signed I will come visit you later Murr.
 
Yome Ismaopate

Murr winked at Syaboa as she was wheeled to the ship's infirmary. At least she didn't have to worry about doing after operations checks and making sure it was ready for the next sortie. But then she would be behind the rest when it came to the Dahome as she would be getting a new one. She would have to get used to the new quirks and upload new programming to allow her to use the Dahome's speakers to communicate with the rest of the team.

Then her mind switched gears, realizing there was a new person on the flitter that came aboard after Jasqi did. He looked quite handsome. Maybe she'll look him up while recovering after treatment. All she wanted was a bath or shower to get cleaned up. And then there was big towering dude that was obviously new also. Both looked quite handsome. But she wondered how they would react when they found out she was mute. Probably like the rest, viewed with suspicion. She exhaled softly in a sighfull manner. ~~ Cant win them all, Murr...~~ She thought to herself watching the corridor walls pass by.

She blinked at feeling her hormones begin to rage within her. She scowled as she hissed sharply. What a time to be fertile again. Seeing new crew and on her way to surgery. She scowled even deeper as she also realized she was scruffy looking and not at her best. When Dog (Murphy) threw in his two cents worth, he let loose big time. She looked miserable and felt miserable to boot with raging hormones.
 
Wapoin Rou'sa (Medical Bay)

Jaqsi wheeled Murr into the room. "There is a small shower for decontamination. You have 10 Tui'sai to clean up. Then I will see about treating your wounds. " she said putting the cart next to decon shower.

She walked over to her office. Took a look at the medical scanner. "Tasi, inform Syaboa that she is to report to medical, or I will have Tigar escort her."


Corridor

As Syaboa was approaching her cabin, Tasi's voice came from the speakers in the hallway. "Sar Purpur , Sasâvyjo'sa Yaobas says that you need to report to the Wapoin Rousa as soon as possible, or she will have Security escort you."

Yome Nuiga

Hewid carried the damaged Dahome out of the Yome Nuiga, he looked at the two baqlii, "You two don't wander off."

Sogi and Tota watched Murr get wheeled away. They looked at Alpin. "So what is your position on the ship?"
 
Wapoin Rou'sa (Medical Bay)

Murr was so grateful to have access to a shower, no matter how short of time she had to take one. She moved off the gurney as fast as her injuries allowed. She wiggled out of the civilian EVAC suit, making funny faces as the dull pain flared up at an odd twisting of her body.

Once in her birthday suit, al la natural, Murr let the water soak deep into her fur and run down off of her. Heat of the water easing the pain as she washed as quickly as possible to get the stench off of her and the excess dried blood off her fur. She missed having her hygiene kit with her with all the favorite fur shampoos and scented soaps, Grooming brushes and clippers (scissors). But then if she had that with her. Well, they would be dragging her out of the shower in 11 Tui'sai, kicking and hissing to be able to finish up her bathing grooming ritual regardless of her injuries.

At 9.5 Tui'sais, Murr stepped out of the Decon room with a towel wrapped around her for personal modesty sake and sense of comfort. She glared at everyone as if she wanted to fight them all, looking very disheveled with still damp fur sticking out in clumped spikes.

Laying back down on the gurney as it was available. She felt incredibly tired as the adrenaline finally wore off. She was home and safe as possible. Finally giving into her body needs of rest. She fell into a light sleep.
 
Gulvisa Ruonor - Outside Flitter

Alpin blinked down at Sogi and Tota when they asked their question and he gave them a grin. "I am Alpin a Daho'a though I feel more like a beâgor lamin-fautyo right now." He said with an amused tone and a flash of his teeth. "Nice to meet you." He glanced into the flitter and tapped on the hull to grab his brother's attention. "Why don't you help me and Yanga move some of these things out of the flitter?" He suggested, giving the pair something to do that might make them feel more useful.

Gulvisa Ruonor - Inside Flitter

Yanga's ears dropped at the rejection the instant he was alone in the back of the flitter. What did he say wrong?! The tap on the side of the flitter brought his attention back to the here and now and he picked his head up, glancing outside to Alpin. After a moment he roused himself and started working the various restraints for the cargo loose. Then it was just a careful bit of moving the cargo to the door of the flitter where Alpin could either hand it off to Sogi and Tota to move to a designated spot, or for Alpin to carry it off to the same spot.

(OOC; 'carry mammal' Closest thing to 'beast of burden' I could find sorry e.e; )
 
Gulvisa Ruonor

Sogi and Tota looked at each other at Alpin's suggestion.

"Sure Sar... we can help." Sogi squeaked knowing what most of the cargo consisted of. The two of them walked up to the flitter and started picking up some of the stacked stuff. Sogi handed Tota several of medical kits.

"Hi I am Sogi, and my friend is Tota. What is your name Sar?" She asked.

She then very carefully started picking up Fiqsoar Utovu'te . The two of them moved away from the flitter and stacked their first arm loads on the deck against the wall. When the stood Sogi turned to Tota, "How is your leg? Is it bothering you?" She inquired.

"It hurts but not too bad." came the reply from her friend

"After we get through helping... we should get you to the Wapoin Rou'sa." she said.
 
Corridor

Syaboa sighed "A girl just can't catch a break" she turned and made her way to the Wapoin Rousa.

Wapoin Rousa

Syaboa walked into the Wapoin Rousa "Why was I called in here, I am perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with me" the blood mark on her shirt was clearly visible but the pain from her old wound had gone when they left the other ship.
 
Inside Flitter

As her passengers deplaned and the recovered cargo was beginning to be offloaded, Miali went into her usual final post-flight system checklist and noting any minor issues that came up for the follow-on maintenance crew to take a look at, which was inevitable considering the Flitter was itself a piece of salvaged equipment, too.

Putting the shuttle into a standby mode, the Tuoro gave a good stretch from head to tail as she got up from the Acceleration Chair at the front of the shuttlecraft, still in her slightly damaged Anoka'ano Dahome with the helmet off and held to the side. It was indeed a classic pilot pose she struck coming out of the hatch and onto the deck properly, looking around briefly with a satisfied smile.

Gulvisa Ruonor

As she exited, Miali's attention was drawn at first to the two Qaktoro who had helped receive everyone, wondering if like herself they were also relative newcomers to the Yome. Rather than leaving right away, she strode over to the cargo side of things to assist with the heavy lifting, pausing once to give the two baqli a little thumbs up as they made their stacks. "You're really a couple of superstars. Careful with that stuff, though, wouldn't want a big boom in here," she however cautioned in a big sister sort of way.

Miali came up to Alpin and Yanga now as they were hard at work, folding her arms a second and watching them with her violet eyes. "Well, who do we have here... want a hand, boys?"
 
Airlock.

Once Memi and Lata was in and repreussurized, Memi took off towards the Flitter bay. Noting even taking the time to remove the armor. He opened a channel with the bridge as he moved, "I have brought the Jodau Yoqajo back with me, and I need a Technion to meet me in the flitter bay at once to get it connected again. This is an emergency."
 
Airlock

La'tâ rode back on the top of the flitter with Memi, the trip was not what she had expected when she was told she would be riding back outside. She was very thankful for Memi's quick thinking that kept her on board and safe. Now that she was safely on the ground and the pressurization was done, she took off her helmet and turned to Memi "Ti ri qantsu Sar Memi, I might have ended a drift if not for you." Her voice was a little shaken, though she had mostly recovered, it seemed space walks were a weakness for this Tula.
Ti ri qantsu= I thank you

After seeing that Murr had been taken for treatment already, she moved herself to a terminal where she could sent the medical information from her instruments to the Wapoin Rou'sa, she also included air samples that her armor might have picked up to have them scanned for any pathogens.
 
Wapoin Rou'sa (Medical Bay)

The light sleep had passed in to rem sleep as Murr's tail tip twitched back and forth. Ears flickered...

:: Mind's Theatre ::

... It was a kaleidoscope of images and scene flashing across her minds eyes theatre, showing vistas of family, people she had met that enriched her life whether it was her detractors, rivals, instructors; both from schools of her youth and military; friends and those that passed through her life in one manner or another. Joining in with the old was the new as her horizons expanded as she moved from one location to the next. Even the Defilers were present as they had exposed more about herself. Her communion with plants, both wild and domesticated. Sogi and Tota, even for the brief time they was in her presence exposed new feeling. The one that unfortunately was part of the female genetic make-up; her maternal instincts to protect the young as her mother protected her in face of adversary. Then even Alpin and Yanga, the newest and unknown showed she wasn't all tom in her mannerism if she could be effected by them at first glance in passing.

She was sadden at the first contact with Miali when pulling a loaded weapon on her with full intent to kill in the protection of the Baqlis and known team member La'Ta, even in her injured state. ...


A soft purrrr rumbled softly from within her at seeing the two brothers in her mind's theatre.

::Mind's Theatre::

...Was her hormones of the first stages of fertility making the two brothers more handsome and desirable. Or the way that the smaller tom had shown caring and concern for the two Baqli that touched her maternal instinct to trigger her softer feelings towards the opposite gender that ensured the continuance of the species... ~~Meaorowwww! I'm a Daho'a!~~ ...

Her tail gave an involuntary full curving sweep as her claws extended and then retracted with ears going flat against her head

:: Mind's Theatre ::

...The flaring of Siama Ryu burst into the background to make the parade of people turn ghostlike and consume them all, leaving her alone floating in space looking at Nebula that held fledging Poku star empire. A huge world station silently floating in space superimposed on a familiar planet hovering offset to the side. Ships of all makes silently leaving to disappear into the vastness of the void of space. Only to be replaced by ships appearing, arriving from same vastness of space... ~~Why am I being shown this? I can't protect them all~~ ... As to answer her inquiry, Yome Ismaopate in its grandeur, faded into view with those of the current crew, she had seen, appearing standing en-mass using the ship as background. Other ships of the fleet in their unique shape and style along with their faceless mixed crew of the different subspecies that made up the Guardians of the Poku Saeruo Degongjo, began to appear one by one...
 
Wapoin Ruosa

Jaqsi looked at Syaboa, after starting Murr's treatment. "Besides the fact that as the Wapoin'asa for the ship, and it is my perogative the check any returning member of any away team? Your Dahome reported blood in the interior. And looking at your tunic I can see why. How did you get injured?"

Engine area
Potos listened to Memi's call for assistance. "Qopo." swore aloud and then activated the intercom. "You remove the jodau. What in the name of the watcher were you thinking? A jodau is a delicate piece of equipment. I just hope it is fine and well Tasi is going to have some company.

Kehula out." He crossed over to the equipment rack and remove a tool kit for servicing Jodau. He left the room at a run while pondering what awaited him.

As La'ta uploaded her data Tasi appeared on the display, "Kindly uplink your Dahome's logs as well. The Tin-Ta'a wants all data avalable as swiftly as possible.
