Witches and Wyyrloks (Tygara)

Follow the cheers.


It was easy enough to track the redheaded woman with the throngs of adoring fans. Long legs helped himself find his way through the crowded skyport. It seemed there was quite a bit to welcome home the 'heroes' of Castamere. He found it all a bit amusing, curious that a planet would be concerned about another so far. Perhaps it was the sheer celebration for the return of family members and friends.


Reaching the front, Lady Kerrigan had spotted him in the crowd, congratulating him on Castamere. All he did was 'salvage' a few ships with Elpsis.


"Thank you Ma'am." He nodded, unruly curls falling across his forehead. "Yes, I am waiting on Elpsis. I heard she got hurt."

 

[Nima Tann]

"Yes we did." She nodded, hearing she was okay, considering. Then added. "I am alright, don't worry about me. And Charlyra, well I asked the nurse and she said she is not ready to see visitors yet. But I am sure she'll be fine." She was pessimistic when it came to herself but in this situation she would try to look at the brighter side of things. Anyway, before their conversation would move on, one of the nurses entered the room and informed them that they arrived to the port. Nima felt a little dizzy after hearing the news, probably thinking about finally laying down and relaxing triggered this dizziness. Taking a breath, she looked at Elpsis who tried to move by herself. "Elpsis, let me..." Before she could finish her sentence, Elpsis stumbled and Nima quickly moved towards her to help. Then they would move towards the exit and finally step on the ground. At the corridor just outside Elpsis's room, they would meet the droid, and he was being sarcastic as before. Or was it a serious suggestion? Who knows, Nima couldn't tell. She gave him a look, but didn't say anything more than "We are okay, thanks for asking."

Meanwhile, at outside, there was a familiar wolf running around, excited to see the ship, probably sensed his caretaker inside. Also he was pretty pissed at the writer because he didn't want to be a background character. So as the ship docked to the Skyport finally, he stopped running around and moved closer to Sio and pushed her a little with his nose, wanting some attention, and looked at the one who was talking with her. New friends! Also he was barking a lot since he was pretty excited to be in the spotlight once again.

Many of the soldiers in the task force had family on Tygara. Part of Firemane's mission statement was that it considered itself a family and thus was quite supportive of them. So it was likely that many in the crowd were now waiting with baited breath for the return of their loved ones.


Others might simply be there out of patriotism, or simply because it seemed like a fun event or they thought it was expected of them! After all, the Tygaran Alliance was an authoritarian, monarchist confederation.


"Yeah, word is she was blinded," Siobhan responded to Makai. She liked the boy. "That's not too troubling. We've got good surgeons and eye replacements. She'll be happy to see you though! There'll be celebrations later on. You'd be very welcome to attend."


All in all, the Countess was in a good mood. Firemane had suffered casualties and she'd have to write letters to the bereaved, but her girls had made her proud. Moreover, they'd gotten a nice battleship. She felt like mounting the two Hellbore cannons Firemane had bought from Iron Crown on it.


And then a massive wolf suddenly approached her. Before Siobhan knew what was going on, he was pushing her with his nose, eager for some attention. Alas, he'd missed all the action on Castamere. "Hey, there, big guy. Nima'll be here soon!" Siobhan declared jovially, petting the oversized puppy...who was the size of a horse. "That's Makai. He's a friend of Elpsis."

Symara staggered behind the group, she watched Elpsis and moved to help her but Master Tann had beaten her to it. The Corellian took her walking stick and got up to her feet, waiting a few moments to make her way out with the others. It was good to be back on Tygara, Tygara was a great place at least in her opinion. She could keep to herself or stay up at the Skyport which is actually where she did stay most days.

Major Lavali Sanjeet and Sgt. Charlie Halifax were doing quite well they had played a few rounds of sabaac on the ride home. She met up with Lavali in the corridor, the Major gave her a warm smile. "Still got that little something for later."

"Yeah, well, we'll pour one out," Symara says quietly shifting her weight between her legs. Lavali was alright for the most part. Halifax or Hal as some of the girls have taken to calling him was asleep in his room. Still recovering from playing fetch with the Acolyte. Speaking of the Acolyte, Symara and Lavali stepped aside as a team of nurses and doctors moved her to another floor. Where they were taking her the Corellian wasn't sure of.

Nima had caught her when she stumbled, and though the fact that she needed support rankled with the redhead, she was grateful for it. "Thanks. I'm fine. Just need a little help," she admitted, glancing towards Symara to give her a slight smile as the Lieutenant limped behind them. There were a number of things she wanted to say to the Corellian, but now was not the time.


As for HK, Elpsis was not sure what to make of the eccentric droid. Talking with him a bit awkward because it very difficult to actually 'see' him! Artificial beings did not really have a presence in the Force, but, unlike Force dead beings, they were not a void defined by the mystical energy field's absence. Cast aside what you see, and reach out with your perception. If she listened to the ripples, she could make him out amidst the background noise.


Younger Elpsis would have probably taken a swing at the droid, but she was slightly more mature now. More to the point, she was tired. "I'll manage," she insisted in response to him. Elaris stubbornness reared its head once more. "Can we got off the ship now?" she sounded just a bit confused and somewhat exasperared by all the attention! The room was quite becoming quite crowded.


Outside in the corridor, Symara met up with her Major and then a team of nurses showed up, moving Charlyra. Now that they'd arrived at the Skyport, she'd probably be taken to the Firemane hospital on it. Elpsis came to a halt when she sensed the Fire Sister was close. Wincing a bit as pain shot through her leg, she tried to make her way towards her. She also almost ran over a poor guard who just happened to be coming her way. "Hey, Lyra, you get better, you hear me? When you're walking again, we're totally gonna party."


"Let her get better first, young lady. She's been through major surgery and now needs a lot of rest. No unnecessary excitement!" a stern Twi'lek called Doctor Osway said in a commanding voice that was as sharp as a whip. She kind of had a point.


Anyhow, with Nima's help, and presumably with the others in tow, Elpsis finally departed the frigate and stepped out into the Skyport. The redhead winced slightly when she heard all the noise. There was a big crowd of cheering people outside. Their auras were so manifold that she felt like her metaphysical eyes might be overloaded, causing them all to blur into one amorphous, multi-coloured mass of shapes. The sensation made her head hurt. It took effort to use the Force to see and bring light to the darkness, and she was only a novice. Feth, I need a drink, she thought to herself. Good Corellian whiskey, not the Eldorai stuff.


She took a breath, trying to narrow her focus. Then she finally saw the bright, scarlet aura of the woman she'd been looking for. "Tempest!" Quickly the redhead took off towards the black amazon. Hopefully she would not fall in her haste. Her lover's worry and concern for her was like a beacon. "Makai? You're here, too?" She believed she'd felt he was close, but wasn't too sure.

Tempest ran forward to meet her, scooping up Elpsis in her arms and giving her a strong kiss.
“Oh, my poor Elpy! I heard what happened, I’m so sorry I wasn’t there!” she said softly, so only Elpsis could hear.
The redhead’s eyes showed she could not see, even if Tempest had not heard this news before she’d know clearly. The sight, as it were, made her heart skip. She felt terrible, she had not been there. Perhaps if she had been.

Still, she was not the only one here. “Nima, Symara, I’m so glad you’re alive.”
She looked to where Lyra was being wheeled past. Another failure.
“I’m sorry, Lyra,” she said ruefully. The birb had not been ready to leave the nest for such a struggle yet. Not alone anyway.

“Come on, girls, we’ve got a party waiting for us.” She put an arm around Elpsis, it was a couple’s hug but it also acted as guilt free support for the wounded firemane.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Elaris"] [member="Nima Tann"]

Tegaea was waiting at the dock with her wife. She did not wear a uniform much anymore, instead opting for a more corporate business outfit.

"I think I see them," she said, looking up at them. "Whatever I think of the Sith, they do at least make some decent ships. This will do well for us...with a few changes and refits. Not sure if we should encourage Elpsis to get into the maiming game though, I think I can only deal with one redhead who does that all the time!" she said and gave Siobhan a kiss. "Besides, [member="Coryth Elaris"] might get mad at us...and we don't want that!"

When Ice came up she smiled and gave the big wolf a pet and a hug. She liked Ice, and he was mostly well behaved.

“Good to see you again, Makai. How’s your dad?” she asked genially. “Big thanks for helping our girls heist this. I hear you got a Dark Blade out of it. That’s worth it for sure.”

As Charlyra was wheeled by...​

​

Above Charlyra the bright lights of a hospital threatened to wake her. Her breathing was stable the battle scars she bore on her body were just that, scars earned in battle as she fought against two Acolytes of the Sith. Internally, there was something freeing about the battles she had fought, about the battles she had won. It had been a journey to become the person she was now, and in fighting both acolytes she solidified this belief. She would not bow to anyone, she would not yield to those who waged these holy wars and she would not go down without a fight. In the moments before her falling, Charlyra did not know if she would live or if she would die. She did know that she would have given her life if it had meant one less Sith roamed the Galaxy. As she slept, her mind was greeted by a long lost voice, a voice that had been lost in the chaos, in the darkness of her journey that only now she could hear...

Nimi? It's Ammee, where are you, my love?​

​

I can feel your presence even now in the force.​

​

​

As her body rested, a single tear escaped her physical form...

​

​

Nimi, please just stay alive - that will be enough... ​

About to reply, Makai was nearly bowled over by some overly large creature. A 'puppy' of sorts. Was this Lacey, the famous adult holostar pet? Unease fell upon him, wondering how close he was to death. He didn't do good with large land dwelling mammals. Sea creatures were more his speed.


"Eh....hey....creature..." Lucky for him, Elpsis was emerging from the shuttle. The creature suddenly seemed more interested in the crowds than himself. "Yeah, its me Elpsis. Really, you should learn to look away from bright lights."


Elpsis was being reunited with others as Miss Alcori began to talk to him about the salvage. Firemane and Salacia had both gotten a wealth of ships. Soon their sector of the 'verse might be one of the most well patrolled and defended in the sectors history. After all, much of the 'verse had forgotten about the area. Something Makai was certain both companies enjoyed to an extent.


"Yes Ma'am, you're welcome. I didn't do much, Firemane was the one watching all of our backs. Salacia just had a little extra muscle to spare. Dad is fine though...how have you been? Working hard?"

 

[Nima Tann]

The wolf was just about to sniff the man and be all friendly, bu he suddenly was oh shinied by the gaining crowd as people started to exit the ship but stood his ground close to Sio! If Ice could talk, he would say. "Excuse me sir. I am not a creature, I am a mutated wolf and my name is Ice." Fortunately for the man, no he couldn't talk. Yet, Sio's and Tegaea's hugs were enough to make him happy because he was a huge puppy. He barked to Sio when she said Nima was about to be here. And in the crowd, Nima was seen finally escaping the ship. So Ice suddenly stood up and started to run towards her, tail wagging like a helicopter and tongue was fully out, he had that goofy face. Needless to say, the wolf missed his caretaker. Aand cut to Nima and the group.

Meanwhile, Nima and the group walked towards the exit, Nima holding Elpsis's arm to help her. Once they were outside, the huge crowd and the bright light suddenly became too much for her and induced yet another headache. She saw Tempest coming towards them, and Elpsis as well left Nima's arm and ran towards her. A smile was formed on Nima's face, it was good to see them reunited once again. "Hey Tempest. Glad you all are okay as well." She said with a nod, then left the lovebirds alone. It would help Elpsis greatly if they were alone for a second, she thought. Then she sensed something. And it was familiar. Oh no, Ice was running. "Ice, no! Sit!" She said as the wolf was almost about to jump on her. Being the smart wolf he was, he probably sensed the girl was in a bad shape as well and stopped. "Good boy." Nima said with a smile and moved towards him. Then puppy owner sweet moment has ensued as Nima hugged the huge wolf and Ice nuzzled her. "Missed you." She said as their hug continued.

[HK-36]

[member="Makai Dashiell"], [member="Nima Tann"], [member="Charlyra Araano"],

"Well I am glad you are doing alright."

The machine quipped back to Elpsis and Nima at their response, secretly the droid was already calculating a series of pranks to put young Elaris through before her sight is restored, or she learns how to properly detect the droid through the Force. It mostly involved sneaking into her quarters at night and waiting until she woke up, then following her around all day and scaring her when she was on the toilet or something. HK was really committed with his pranks.

Either way, the droid would bare the witness to all the reunions and romantic gestures going on, apparently a wolf was involved in the mix now, that was pretty cool although the machine did wonder what was with people and their pets lately, especially since he would come to be accosted by a space peacock in the near future.

Finally they would be joined by the familiar appearance of [member="Tempest"], the droid waved to her shortly,

"Hey Tempy."

Before [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] and [member="Tegaea Alcori"] joined them,

"Sio, Tegs, hello, there you are. I have been trying to find you after you disturb my slumber and dropped me in the middle of that Omega hellhole without explanation."

While Tegs stopped wearing her uniform, apparently HK stopped wearing anything else as for once he was in front of them without his robes or armor,

"I heard the Eldorai have formed a new Alliance. Perhaps we can find a way for Abregado to join this relationship, especially now that the Protectorate fell and our forces seem to keep on fighting on the same side in the same battles either way."

At the mention of Coryth, HK would look to Elpsis,

"You know little Cory?"

That was a jab more on Coryth's height rather than the age difference between her and the droid.

Thusly, a heartfelt, emotional reunion took place! The Dahomian amazon scooped up Elpsis in her strong, muscular arms and pulled her into a deep kiss, which the redhead eagerly returned with the considerable passion she could muster. And the scene was so sweet to make syrup taste sour.


Naturally Elpsis just had to use a cheesy line. "Hey, hey, the important bits of me are still there. Nima and I beat up a Sith Lord," she said quietly, feeling her lover's sadness and guilt through her empathy. The fact that this affected Tempest so much warmed her heart. Pressing against the older woman, she cupped her cheek.


"It's not all that bad. Kinda miss seeing your glorious black skin though." However, Elpsis was not the only person in the docking bay who'd sustained injuries. Indeed, she'd been luckier than others. "Mara carried me when everythin' went crazy on the station," she added in a fond tone.


Charlyra was wheeled past them, and Elpsis sighed slightly. Her hand found Tempest's and she gave it a squeeze. "We split up after storming the citadel. She was injured, so she stayed behind with some grunts, Nima and I took a shuttle to Omega. Thought she'd be fine. We three kicked arse together," she said, sounding a bit regretful. "It's not your fault, Tempest. We all knew the risks. She'll be ok."


Wait, was Elpsis actually trying to act mature? Character development is a horrible thing. Anyhow, Tempest wrapped her arm around her and Elpsis leaned her head on the older woman's strong shoulder. It was guilt free support that didn't hurt the wounded firemane's pride.


She chuckled a bit when Makai interacted with the big wolf. It did not occur to Elpsis that it was more that the Firemane gang's choice in pets was more than a little odd. Then again, her mental safe place were the Shadowlands. "Hey, normally I'm the one causin' blinding bright lights! They usually only hurt the bad guys," she responded with mock indignance. "Nice to see ya, lil bro. You sticking around? By the way, how's Myra?" Now that he was here, Makai could no longer escape embarrassing prodding from her!


Meanwhile, she was blissfully unaware that the HK droid was plotting nefarious schemes to troll her. However, she heard the mechanical 'background noise' mention [member="Coryth Elaris"]. "Yeah, she's my mum. You know her?" Elpsis was a good deal taller than the short stack of fire.

In Siobhan's opinion, her wife looked majestic in her swazzy suit. Of course, the Countess was probably more than a little biased. Her hand slid down Tegaea's back towards her buttocks. "Oh, come on. I don't get maimed that often," she protested with mock indignance, giving the redhead a squeeze.


"Work's been busy, but we've been good. We'll be retrofitting the ship. I feel like giving it a Colossus Reactor and mounting two Hellbores on it. We can show you Tygara a bit if you stick around for a while," she said in response to Makai. She could see that the various members of the task force had docked. Elpsis was blind, Nima's lekku was damaged, Symara needed a cane and Charlyra was unconscious. HK was alright and plotting prank schemes.


"You're not gonna let this go, aren't you?" she asked rhetorically when HK made a jab about being woken up too early. "Your coffin was getting dusty," she raised an eyebrow when he suggested Abregado join the Alliance. "Perhaps we can discuss things somewhere more privately, HK. There should be an opportunity at the celebrations. The port is a bit crowded."


Her girls had done so well and made her proud. Firemane soldiers who'd been part of Symara's and Major Sanjeet's force had also landed. Leaning strongly on her cane, the Countess stepped forward. Briefly, her eyes followed the little birb while she was wheeled away. She'd receive the best of care. Firemane casualties had been light, but there were still many wounded, and some families would receive the news that their loved ones had perished. Letters would have to be written. Thus was the price of war. Still, they'd gotten the job done.


"Welcome home. You all fought admirably and with courage against a barbaric enemy, who wanted to blow up the Galaxy out of spite and pettiness. And you made sure Firemane and Tygara's voice was heard. You've earned yourself awards and bonuses and, above all, Tygara's gratitude for your actions. We shall celebrate victory, and honour the fallen. Their names will be inscribed upon the Memoria Wall. I expect a complete after-action report once the celebrations are over," at that she glanced towards Sanjeet and Nima. She could not trust Elpsis to actually write something concise, after all!

 

[Ria Misrani]

Cane was temporary, very, temporary. Bone mesh weave would be installed to help the Lieutenant later on, but for now, a cane would do. Major Sanjeet gave [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] a knowing look, the reports were already just about done. She had time to work on some of them on their way back, but Sanjeet said nothing else as she looked to Symara and gave her a squeeze on the arm. They would talk later, for now she had to see what was happening with Sgt. Kala Matthieu's on Corellia - where Symara had been. The Lieutenant lingered behind the rest of the group as she limped out, Halifax and Sanjeet continued their own conversation and once again, Symara felt like a soldier without a war. And so she did what she could to catch up with Sanjeet, "what's the status on Sgt. Mattieu?"

"Not sure, Halifax's had a little bit of trouble getting in touch but we're sure the lights at Ashira are on, why?" Sanjeet questioned as they now walked side by side, "Lieutenant if you're thinking about going-"

"Not thinking, doing," Symara quipped, "you get me this bone mesh weave or don't, I'll fine a way back down there."

She felt useless outside of war, and worse - it left her to think, Think about everything, the past, the future, her feelings - and that was something she certainly didn't want to think about right now.

 

[Tempest]

[member="Elpsis Elaris"] [member="Symara Tarriq"] [member="HK-36"] [member="Nima Tann"] [member="Makai Dashiell"]

Tempest felt her throat catch a little. Elpsis was making light of things, but Tempest understood just what a loss a sense could be. She would inquire about getting some bionic or cloned replacements very soon.

“You girls…you all did great,” she said, choking slightly. They didn’t blame her, she knew that, but she blamed herself.

HK was here too. The droid had apparently re-emerged. If he attempted to prank Elpsis when she was there he would be finding an activated lightsabre inserted into a place they would not normally be found.

Coming out, she heard Siobhan making her speech. She didn’t really react, she was too numb and too concerned about Lyra and Elpsis to think much more on it. At this moment she just wanted to be with Elpsis.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] et al

Tegaea did not have much to add. “You’ve helped save the galaxy from a terrible evil. Tygara and all who live on or above it will flourish as never before. No matter what happens, we will prevail.”

She took Siobhan’s hand, smiled at Ice and the others coming over to see them. So many hurt, so many wounded. It was sorrowful to watch them come off the ship so battered. She’d make sure her best medics and doctors were ready to help each in turn.

 

[Ria Misrani]

Charlyra was relocated to Caeltuile, a Firemane owned hospital where she would receive some of the best care this side of the Galaxy. Between lightsaber burns, broken ribs, minor fractures along the thoracic vertebrae and scapula which now had been replaced with a synthetic weave. It was amazing that the acolyte was still alive, skin grafts had already been conducted and her burns have already begun to heal. The soon-to-be thirty-year-old rested in her medical induced coma, she would be this way until her body had been allowed to heal completely. She had no parents to inform, no family which to speak of, or at least family that the hospital was aware of. Myrrashai no doubt would make an appearance soon to check in on her little sister. Dr. Walder looked over her patient and made a few more notes, they had gone in and replaced broken bones, reinforced the structures around fractures and worked to allow the fractures to heal naturally.

"Dr. Walder do we release her medical information to her master then?"

Dr. Walder looked to her nurse and then at the acolyte, "what does her chart say?"

"Right then, I'll pass this along to her Grand Mistress and Mistress [member="Tempest"]," said the nurse who then departed the room - walking toward a nurses station where she would send the notifications that Charlyra's medical information was ready for both Mistress Tempest and Grand Mistress [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] to review.

 

[Nima Tann]

Well, their hug lasted only a little more until Ice probably saw something in the crowd that attracted his attention and left Nima's embrace to investigate. It was for the best anyway since hugging made her body ache a little so she sighed with a smile looking at him running around excitedly. Needless to say, the wolf was getting oh-shinied a lot. Hopefully he wasn't scaring people since no matter how he was like a little puppy, he was still a horse-sized mutated wolf. Anyway, standing awkwardly after she was left alone by Ice and she had no one else to talk to since everyone was busy reuniting with each other, she started to think about the infinite universe and the meaning of life. No, but seriously it was that awkward for her since she was a socially awkward person, and hell, there were a lot of people here. Fortunately, she wouldn't be alone with her thoughts any longer since Sio and Tegaea stepped forward and started to talk.

Unlike one rebellious young Angelii that this writer was playing, Nima actually had the sense of professionalism. There was going to be a time where they could stop using formal words, but they were the leaders right now. So, she listened to their words and then nodded. It was good to hear that they have done a good job, but at what cost? Sadly, it was war, and war wasn't a lovey-dovey business. There were many people lost and wounded. But they shall be remembered for their contribution in this success. Nima couldn't help but sigh out of sadness. Yet of course, duty called as always so she collected her thoughts. "It'll be ready as soon as possible." She said with a nod, probably the report would be ready in hours without rest after the celebrations. She didn't think she would sleep with this much headache anyway. Besides, it would be good to check if she was still okay mentally this way since she basically fried her own mind during the whole event with her mental powers.

While emotional reunions were taking place and the wounded were being cared for in Firemane's hospitals, the recently acquired Wyyrlok-class Star Destroyer was not being left unattended. After all, Elpsis and [member="Makai Dashiell"] had made such an effort to liberate the Sith's battleships. It would be a crime not to overhaul the warship.


Thusly, Firemane's Military Engineering Corps sprang into action. The Wyyrlok was a beautiful and lethal vessel, designed to take a good punch and dish out an incredible amount of pain. Still, even this leviathan could be improved in some ways. By now, Firemane engineers had inspected most of the vessel.


"You know your orders. Move it, ladies. We have a deadline to meet. I want all unholy Sith symbols removed from this vessel. Team one will install the Colossus Reactor, team two the Aegis, team three inspect the weapons systems and install the Hellbore Cannons once they've arrived, team four is handling repairs," an Eldorai engineer commanded with an authoritative voice.


"There goes my free weekend. We need a trade union," one minion grumbled to himself.


"Are you getting lippy, Lieutenant?"


"Uh, no, ma'am. I'll go work on the reactor!"


"That's better. The sooner this ship is finished, the sooner your family can sleep easily without afraid of Sith blowing people up. Or another Yedai turning traitor." There was no way anyone could oppose such a winning argument! In any case, Firemane labourers swarmed out like bees from a hive, spreading across the warship. Conveniently, the Wyyrlok's systems had been designed by Kiliks to be both easily replaceable and form fitting. This should make a retrofit rather easy. Outside, in the black void of space, Eldorai and Firemane ships prowled across the vast expanse like sharks, vigilant guardians of Tygara and its people.

[member="Elpsis Elaris"], [member="Nima Tann"], [member="Charlyra Araano"], [member="Tegaea Alcori"], [member="Makai Dashiell"]

The droid nodded to Elpsis, confirming that he knew [member="Coryth Elaris"],

"Who do you think taught her how to fight? I was her teacher once, and a finest duelist the Jedi Order had in their ranks when I still served them,"

Granted that was back in the days of Ancient Republic when Makashi was still considered to be a dangerous radical new fighting style,

"I also taught her new applications of the Force, how to bend and manipulate light,"

The droid had a good recollection of their private lessons where he taught her light displacement by observing light banding through a glass of water,

"We were also lovers,"

That was a lie,

"And I was her gynecologist,"

Also a lie,

"We had a rather wizard time together."

And fun fact, "wizard" is a canon saying, they use it in the Clone Wars series, look it up,

While he waited for Elpsis to absorb and process everything he said, his attention was grabbed by Sio, and he nodded to her when she offered to discuss this in private,

"Sounds good to me, although we already have so much cooperation I assumed I was part of this alliance already."

HK looked to Tempest as she gave out praises to the ladies,

"I was there too, in fact I personally took out two reactors. I do agree that the ladies handled their own, but all I will say, high scores belongs to me."

The machine quipped, tightening his grip on the glory earned during the battle, he looked to Sio and Tegs, who should get her character bio linked to the character already, seeing if they were ready to go attend the celebrations.
