Bk1: Ch11: Pg13
1b.
A: Are you ok?
M: Yes. You?
A: Yes.
M: Let's get out of here.
2a.
M: Get us away from this smoke.
2b.
M: This is good. Put her down and do the breathing in the mouth and pushing on the chest thing.
A: CPR?
M: Yes! That! Like in Baywatch.
3a.
3b.
A: What are you doing?
M: There's mana here. It's different than what I am used to at home so I couldn't sense it,
but when that asshole zapped me all of a sudden I could feel it.
M: I think I can use it.
4a.
M: OK. Let's give this a shot.
4b.
M: Ugh.
A: What's wrong?
M: It's dirty. It feels like sewage.
A: Are you ok?
M: Yea. Let me just push through.
4c.
M: There. I think she's going to be ok.
5a.
C: What? What's happening?
A: Stay calm. You're ok. We've got you.
5b.
C: Archdemon! There's an archdemon!!
A: It's ok! We got him!
6a.
M: She's exhausted.
A: Your pilot is dead. Was there anyone else with you?
C: Zhang...Dr. Zhang.
6b.
A: I'll go look for this Dr. Zhang, you get her to the truck.
M: Be careful, love.
A: You too.
7a.
C: Crate. Get the crate. Orange crate. Must get it...
A: OK. I'll try.
7b.
8a.
A: Oh Maker.
8b.
M: Thank Sweet Epsca you're ok. Let's get the hell out of here.
A: Agreed.
Glad they managed to save Charlie, but what happened to Zhang… just hope it was quick or postmortem 🙁
Archdemon got her. It was neither. 🙁
That’s what it was planning on doing to Charlie when it returned?
Aray really needs to go back and shoot its dick a few times
Yea. It’s a mean bastard. Well, was…
Aray never learnt the important question to ask when going to look for someone new: “Describe them to me.”
They know the pilot is dead, they have the girl and if she says there was only one more person his (or her) appearance doesn’t matter.
Especially if you find only a corpse.
Good point.
Yeah, that’s the thing that annoys me about cop shows: they never ask how to spell an obscure, foreign, name, and yet are able to type it correctly into their computer…
This is how it sounds today…
Rover 4 for Control: Request ID check.
Last name: Smith, I spell: Sierra-Mike-India-Tango-Hotel
First name:Tshawneeqa, common spelling.
Pretty much
Sometimes you will get someone spelling the name, but most times not
This uniform stuff with all those textiles simply contradicts Aryanna’s raison d’être.
How do you mean?
She’s not naked
LOL
So Maeye needs a mana-ge a troi ?
LOL
Not objecting, and I’m sure this is covered somewhere in the archives, but why is Maeye needing to strip down to use magic to heal her?
My read is, clothes are a slight impediment, normally not worth thinking about. However, because she couldn’t sense the mana at all until she was directly hit with magic, she’s trying to remove impediments so she can reach it. Once she’s more familiar with Earth’s mana(presumably tainted by the demons, the way Horrors taint astral space in Earthdawn), it won’t be an issue.
Maeye absorbs mana through her skin. If she needs a lot in a hurry then it helps to bare more skin. Story lore excuse for me to get her to strip as often as possible. 😀
Thought the ‘excuse’ was simply she dislikes wearing clothes at all 😉
Only wears the bare minimum to avoid jail 😛
LOL. That’s a good enough reason for me.
Better keep her batteries charged up for awhile, you never know what they’ll run into.
Fair enough. I figured there was some excuse, but wasn’t sure what it was.
Next page (or some time after they get back to Oz), they open the crate… and it’s just the cooler with sandwiches and beer 😛
An Archdemon attacks an Apache?
In this hemisphere?
At this time of year?
That crate is full of steamed hams, just like Seymour used to make.
Da choppah must have been cozy, with three people and a crate of steamed hams.
That crate has drawn a lot of unwanted attention and I think that is going to continue.
