Fiona was pacing, back and forth, between Billie Jean and Liam. She was thinking. She thought best whilst she moved. She didn't know why, but that's the way it always had been. She was thinking of sickness. Fee had seen much of it in her life-some phyiscal illness, but some mental illness, as well. And these people were DEFEINTELY, as her therapist back on Earth would say, blocking reality. Fee did it. She would know. Blocking reality was Fiona's proverbial middle name.

Something struck her then, and she turned sharply to Billie, and spoke, her accent rough with her sudden clearness.

Scared, that's what they are. Probably a little hungry; mayhaps a drought or something. Kana and I should go look. I have some diagnostic applications that Dr. Harrison downloaded for me to process for the medical team, and I can watch her. What do you think, Lt? Fee was very careful to refer to the woman by her official military rank; when you respected someone, they usually reciprocated, and Fee needed Billie to be on her side for the moment.

We can take Kelly with us in case of danger, but I shall be rather fine, I think, I mean I've made it almost thirty years looking out for just meself. Also, I have a knife with me, a river type, and Lt. Telion has been showing me some self-defense moves. Fiona smiled a tiny bit at that; mostly, she just fancied watching him flex his muscles.

She looked at Billie, questioningly, but sighed when her tablet buzzed.

Fiona I've just sent some test results over. Could you double check them for me? Our host seems to be from a different world if this is accurate. Both tests return human but... Fiona just nodded at the screen, and copy-and-pasted information from Kana into Doc H's system. This might be interesting.

Fiala watched as Sala returned to them with the two men that had now followed her down the corridor and if she had to go by expressions they weren't happy to see them . As she entered the room. Fiala made sure to give way to Sala, her two escorts stayed outside the room and refused to even let the girl who had showed them the way even out of the room . Fiala moved away from the door keeping an eye on the two men at the door and Sala . Sala spoke as she made her way to her chair at her desk .

" I'll cut the rope and get right to it, Why are you here ?"

" Were explores and we mean no harm . All we seek is peace ." Fiala replied

" Well you have, just look at the poor girl . I'm sorry but she's lost to us now cause of you's ." Sala tapped a word in her book and then another before the girl Kana had just examined collapsed to the ground choking on her own breath which had now turned green .[/b]

Kana ears pricked as Sala broadcasted whatever it was she was broadcasting. Kana rushed back over to the girl she had just examined scanning and casting furiously to both find the cause and to help the girl breath. The girl was choking on her own breath and something had caused it to turn a green colour. Kana worked furiously trying to determine the cause but whatever it was was happening inside the girl. Desperate to help the girl Kana made a small magic circle next to her and started transferring oxygen directly into her lungs whilst sending data to Fiona. She'd had to concentrate however she wasn't nearly as good as her brother was with this complex spells.

Fiona waited impatiently for Billie's reply. Finally, it came in the affirmative, and Fiona took off towards Kana. Hopefully the young girl would help her. She approached carefully, watching. Kana seemed to be far away; as if searching for something else. Fiona nodded once at Fiala.

May I take Kana, and go below?! Lt. Witwer already OK'd me. I got knife, just in case, and me tablet. We'll be Ok... She waited for Fiala's response, knowing that the other woman would likely not want to be alone. But if Fee could get down there, she could investigate, and who better than a young woman with a child?!

Sala watch as this little girl tried her best to keep this woman alive, but Sala gave a smirk as her book gave the readings revealed she was brain dead and readings began to signal this little girl had some hiding talents . She needed a deeper scan, but she need to hold them off till she could get reinforcements and take these strangers by force if needed .
Fiala could only watch Sala's lack care for this woman, who seem more interest in Kana as her eyes more focused on her . This woman from the information her and Kana had noticed was this woman was clearly not from this world

" This disease strikes with out warning, your little girl is wrong . I'm going to need you to get the rest of your team to my lad for everyone's including for your own protection . The last thing I want ...."
Fiala intrude in to Sala's lovely speech .

" Do you think were stupid ? You belong here as much as we do and I think I'll go with my doctor opinion . "

For a second Sala taught if there was any way out of been discovered but any more lies would be a waste of time and stop her getting near to Kana " Well we are here and we were here first, we are only trying to improve and help this culture through this plague ."

" Well you don't seem to be doing a good job, there dropping like flies "

" Well that's your view, my people take a great interest with these people, like all plagues there's only so much we can do . "The annoyance in her voice slowly increased with every word . She stood up and slowly moved towards the now dead woman and with a smirk of hint of delight spoke again . " Poor thing never saw it coming, I think we should deal with the present, maybe your girl can go over with some of her findings with me while you get in contact with your home world on what's happened . "[/font]

Fiala let out a short laugh," My mother always told me when someone talks crap, it's time to walk out . Kana there's nothing you can do here, time to leave ."

Fiala could feel the atmosphere tenses up as she took Kana's hand . Every thing about this woman felt wrong, let alone the woman dropping in front of them and the lack of urgency to help her . Her biggest fear was what might happen to he rest of her team , they needed to regroup and go from there . Fiala continued to hold Kana's hand as she moved at a fast pace, " Kana let hold are mouths closed till we join the rest of are group ," with that Fiala made haste hoping she was going to have anyone following them .

As soon as the rest of the team came in sight Fiona was in Fiala's face making demands .

May I take Kana, and go below?! Lt. Witwer already OK'd me. I got knife, just in case, and me tablet. We'll be Ok...

Fiala looked towards Witwer first, with a nod of her head she agreed with Fiona and straight away Billie reached out her hand as if know what Fiala would suggest . The entrance looked tight, She could see one reason why she taught of Kana, but she be dame if she was sending civ's in alone .

" Witwer take a secure position out of sight with in sight to the gate . Lets keep out of sight from the locals . I believe Kana may of got herself noticed so be careful ."Fiala passed her back pack to Witwer trying to make herself thin enough for the gap ." Approved Fiona but I'm joining you's ." With that Fiala took point into the passage ." Your my guide Fiona, stay close ." < Tag Kana Charter , @ckitchens >[/b]

Kana had her own readings. Despite her best efforts she had failed the woman. Technically Kana had kept the woman alive but the brain damage was too much. She knew her brother had a spell that would help but Kana had refused to let him teach her it, she was against everything blood magic stood for after all. Kana dispelled and laid the woman for her final rights. She brought her hands together, closed her eyes and began to pray. Kana wasn't exactly a religious person but the woman had just died, it didn't feel right not to.

The second Sala moved next to her the fur on Kana's tail puffed up as she let out a growl only audible to Sala. Once she was finished giving the woman's final rights she shot Sala an icy glare that looked completely alien on her childish face. Kana had seen death a number of times before, whilst on Tamura she'd been caught in the middle of air raids and had been treating some of the wounded soldiers from the front lines. It wasn't the first time there was nothing she could do but all the same she wanted Sala to know that she would prove that she was responsible.

Kana had every desire to strike the woman, to use her magical scalpel to do some serious damage, but with her still being a child, and a support mage at that, she would only be putting herself in danger. She made a quick glance at Sala's book, so far the woman had not let the thing out of her sight for even a split second. Kana was hoping she'd could pull off whilst the woman was occupied inspecting the deceased woman. Kana kept her hands behind her back to hide the magical rings that appeared around her hands and used another magic circle to transfer the book into Fiala's backpack. In just a split second it was done hopefully far faster than Sala could notice.As soon as she was finished Fiala was grabbing Kana's hand for them to leave and Kana made no attempt to struggle, following Fiala's suite.

Once they we're back with the rest of the group and Fiona had informed them of her plan Kana intercepted Fiala's backpack and pulled out the book. I hope you don't mind, I took a leaf out of Onee-chan's book. She said as she revealed her work. It was true but Chiquita would never have been able to pull off a transfer nearly that quickly, she would have had to relied on sleight of hand and her amazing speed. [/b]I'm sure that woman was using it to communicate and... To do whatever she did to that woman.[/b] Said Kana the second part was clear it held her contempt. Fiona would you be able to analyse it?

Fiona waited for Fiala's permission with a little bit of impatience. Once Fee put her pretty little head to something, she became a woman possessed.

Witwer take a secure position out of sight with in sight to the gate . Lets keep out of sight from the locals . I believe Kana may of got herself noticed so be careful ...Approved Fiona but I'm joining you's .Your my guide Fiona, stay close . Fiona nodded, and waited for Kana to finish whatever she was doing-it appeared to be mischief. That was OK with Fee; there was something afoot, and she bloody well planned to get to the bottom of it.

Fiona shuddered when she realized the girl was dead. She dipped her head, and said, to herself, an old Celtic prayer her Aunties would say at wakes and things.

May you be as free as the wind
 As soft as sheeps wool
 As straight as an arrow
 That you may journey into the heart of God. She sighed. Fiona felt no sadness, as she didn't know the girl, but instead a quiet horror. She hadn't been prepared for the dark side of missions.

Finally, Kana was ready, and Fee had her permissions. Kana moved to the two older women, and Fee wanted to hug her, but held back-not only was she not the touchy feely type, really, but she didn't want Kana to think that Fee was being condescending.

I hope you don't mind, I took a leaf out of Onee-chan's book...'m sure that woman was using it to communicate and... To do whatever she did to that woman. Fiona would you be able to analyse it? Fee gave Kana a LOOK. It wasn't OK to steal things, no matter the circumstances. But she would let Fiala deal with that.

Probably. Let's go below. Miss Charter, I don't know much about medicine, but I do know a lot about technology. Tell me what you might need, and I will see if I can make it happen for you. Even if Fee had to write a quick application for temperatures or whatever nonsense.

Liam got him and Shadow ready to head underground.  After doing so, he moved into the spider hole that they were standing near.  Shadow followed his master into the hole, staying close to him at the same time.  Once in, Liam led Shadow down, his P90 up and in front of him at the same time.  Liam kept his eyes and ears open as he and Shadow moved along.  Shadow kept his nose close to the ground at the same time, sniffing out for anything and anyone.

With a flick of a switch her touch light the way, it was a storm drain and with hope that was all it was . The drain lead in a single direction going down in a slope . The stone bricked ground was soft and wet with what looked like seaweed acting like a rug making a slush sound with every step . As Fiala walked every few yards she'd come across areas became slippery from the light covering of water . As Fiala walked with touch lighting the way she couldn't help but notice a junction of four tunnels, one lead down while the other three lead up . Kelly take point behind me and show me the way . How's that information going along Fiona and any idea were to go ."The tunnel was tight and she didn't need Shadow getting in to a firing line if one happened .

Fiona wasn't paying much attention, at first, to the surroundings. She was hyperfocused on her tablet, and her programming. The program she'd written for Harrison was fast spitting out information, some of it jargony that Fee didn't quite understand. Where the bloody hell was Aear when she needed him to translate things?! She'd have to rely on Kana-Fiona didn't trust her yet, though. The only ones Fee really did trust just yet were Koren and Fiala, and Aear was fast moving up.

She almost lost her balance, and made a face at the slippery algae that grew everywhere. The smell reminded her of the Bogs back in Ireland, where she had spent some time at visitng extended relatives once. Salt. And sea life in various stages of life-being born, adulthood, dying, and dead. The cacophony of smells almost overwhelmed her sensitive system, and she gagged just a little.

Finally, they moved forward a bit, coming an area that forked off into four different directions. Fiala spoke.

Kelly take point behind me and show me the way . How's that information going along Fiona and any idea were to go . Fiona sighed. To the right, there were what appeared to be guards-figures that moved once an hour with precision, which is why Fee assumed guards. To the north was a dead end, behind them was the swamp. Left seemed to be where the most people were concentrated.

Left, or North. There's a large mass of people to the left, and north has a few, but appears to dead end at some sort of chamber. Be wary on the right; there's guards or something like it. And, of course, behind us was the Bogs. She shuddered. She just hoped her calculations were correct. She couldn't afford to be wrong this time. She spoke to Kana next, quietly.

I am beaming you the translation from the sheet of paper. It's mostly rhymes, I think, but maybe you can make right or left of it. She sighed. To her, it may as well be Greek.

Kana moved down the sewers with almost grace as she sunk her stance low and moved one foot at a time. Once they came to the fork Kana raised her weight back to a more comfortable position and closed her eyes. She listened down the hallways, probably in the same way Shadow was doing. She heard chatter to the right, loud and boisterous. Fee-san, I think you're right. It's not a language I recognise but to the right the conversation is rather boisterous.

On the other hand there was an almost silence from ahead and a hushed murmur from the left. To the left there is some chatting going on but it's rather hushed. Almost as if they afraid they'll be overheard. I can't hear anything concrete from up ahead though. What about Shadow? Kana asked turning to Liam and Shadow pointing the question more at Shadow then at Liam. Shadow would be doing the work after all.

Kana furrowed her brow at the data Fiona was sending her. Kana wasn't a tech nut like her siblings, you could stick either of them in front of a terminal and they'd still be there whenever it was you decided to come back. Kana much prefered just talking to people. It looks like a collection of sayings or principles. They don't seem to be from any one place. "Wenn Sie ein ab gesandte des friedens sind nicht einen speer tragen" That one is Belkan.... And ths, "Shi wa yuiitsu yuki de ōwa re", Is Meowtian. This "lin sil je da" sounds familiar as well. Don't ask me what that last one translates as though. Said Kana reading out loud as she gave her take on the data. It didn't make any sense to her just a bunch of bundled cultures.

A sudden realisation struck Kana. They can't be doing this on other worlds as well... She said thinking out loud.

Sala's face went pale as she stared at her open book which lay on the table with a missing page . A second later her heart sank at even that idea of the strangers had taken a page from her book, the effects could cause her life been recycled and if support came soon the effect could be soon . How could she not have seen this happen, there was only reason for this happening and she'd need to act straight away . She opened her book to its first page and tapped a letter,

" All personal, this is your commander speaking . We are now in lock down, anyone found on the street is to be shot on site . We have a possible hostile force trying to gain a foot hold, " Sala flipped the page and tapped a picture, which revealed in the picture every heat signature with in the town, tapping of a letter removed all personal under her command and another tap removed all towns people who had been tagged . As she looked at the map only one remained and it was far out of place but were were the rest . An area near to the gate had been cleared of all townspeople so why was there one there now near to an entrance to the underground network of drains . There were still alot of towns people missing, this made her think was this were the missing ones were hiding . She turned the page back to the first page," All units converge on to building 0125, possibility of entering the underground network located next to it . I want the little girl alive and the remaining hostile's dead ."

Sala just stood there pacing the room thinking of her next option and than it hit her .With that she hit the letter again followed by a another .

" Calu I want you to put all bio tech weapons we've worked on in to operation, all I want is the girl, butcher anything else left in the tunnels ."

She knew if she could capture this girl it might just be the most important research she could be involved in and she smiled at the idea .

Fiala followed down the tunnel were the large group and whispers were coming from, she moved slowly listen to the voices as they slowly fell in to silence and waited . Than she heard patter of feet in the water, She raised her hand for the team to signaling in hand movements for Kelly to hold position as she crept forward further to what looked like a small opening . Her radio crackled, the only words she could make sense of was two words movement plus activityand with that Fiala watched as two men seem to jump out from the opening . The first was yielding a short knife as he made a lunge towards her, the man was a short thin man rough shaven and looked far from having military training so surely had nothing to do with Sala . He stood little chance as Fiala swung her gun around her back with it's sand side stepping out of his way, as he regained his balance she grabbed his wrist and twisted it till she had it round to his own back given him under her full control . His knife fell to the ground as she pulled out her own and placed it to his neck stopping the second in his tracks waiting to see what to do next .
As this was happening she was unaware three had come up behind Kelly, Fiona and Kana .

Kana's ears flicked as she heard her attackers from behind. She turned her feet inwards and immediately sunk her weight and placed her tablet and scanner on Fee's tablet. The second they were in range she span round, keeping her weight on her rear leg, and raised her elbow and inverted her arm her wrist covering in front of her solar plexus. She saw the glint of a knife in the dark and projected a magical barrier over her arm and stepped into her attack moving her full weight into the point where the knife and the barrier hit causing the knife to flick out of his hand. Once it had hit the ground she used a transfer spell to place it in her right hand and pointed it behind her so Liam could take it as she placed her left hand in front of her again in front of her solar plexus and pointing up towards her attackers nose. Aear had made sure that she knew how to defend herself if she needed to. His unarmed combat style was particularly useful for Kana who held no offensive magic. She didn't know where he'd learnt it, when she asked he'd mentioned the labs and Kana had just told him to stop there. Aear had confided a significant part of his past in Kana and she knew it was painful to talk about. Until Roger had that appointment with her brother she was the only person she had told. She asked him once and all he told her was she was the only one who asked, that his past wasn't a secret. Sometimes she wondered if she should have gone for psychological training to help him more but he had told her that she had enough to do without him adding more problems. He was one of the patients that bugged her the most, always trying to look out for others rather than themselves and though Kana was yet to realise it she was the very same.

Lam nodded and got Shadow behind them when he was told to.  Not long after doing so, Shadow sensed that someone was coming and barked.  Liam turned and noticed what Shadow was barking at.  "Contact rear" he called out to the rest of the team as he raised his rife, seeing what Kana was doing at the same time.  Shadow kept his eyes focused as his master said that.  He stayed close, knowing to not get caught in the cross fire.  The K-9 stayed focused on what he had sensed, waiting for a command from his master at the same time.

Fiona was lagging behind the two, but Liam was behind her, so she was TRYING to hurry up. She was also quickly processing information, and growing frustrated that her brain simply wouldn't work any faster. It was making her crazy, and she was annoyed by it. She was having to rely more on her machine than she would've liked-Fee preferred a combination of common sense, the machine, and her own instincts to discern her next moves. However, she was a million miles from home, without the benefit of a home-court advantage, and she could sense tension.

Suddenly, Fiala was under attack, and Fiona, without thinking, went into "survivor" mode. Being, at one point, a victim of sexual assault had made her take some self-defense classes, and she knew what to do. She pocketed her tablet, and let the man grab hold of her arms. With a quick jab with her elbow to his solar plexus, a hard step on the insole, she was let go of, letting her break the man's nose with the palm of her left hand (the dominant one), and a kick in the groin. Once he was on the ground, she swiped his weapon, and moved quickly towards Liam.

Get your pale Irish rear in gear. Go help Fiala; I will get Kana. Meet me in the middle. If anything goes wrong, tell Lt. Telion that he's great, and tell Fiala to make sure me Da gets Jacques. She turned away, her red hair flying as she raised the weapon with a deep breath, and yelled out.

Hey, Kana. Do that invisible stuff and get your cute butt over here. I know a way out, I think. Fiona hoped she wouldn't have to fire, but the men were coming towards her quickly. She took a deep breath, stared straight ahead, and fired. She winced and stumbled back from the buckshot, but smiled. She hit someone, and he was down. Probably not dead, but down, giving Kana and Liam a few minutes to haul butt.

(Yeah, I got on a roll, too.)
