The crew may notice a low rumbling for a few minutes. The source seems to be Dominic & Mitch's room...
Bridge
Val does indeed record what's going on, and transfers it to Izzie to permanently store it later. He also sends it to Dominic, Peter, Chris and Greg by proxy.
"Okay, here we go." He broadcasts to the Godsgift, opening the hangar.
Lounge
"Uh..." Izzie is at a loss for what to do. "Do you have anything on board with you?" She asks Russell, trying to ensure his safety, at the very least.
"Val, really? You're doing this now? ...Ok."
VR Room
Dominic smirks slightly from the broadcast while waiting for the upload to finish.
"Infected wounds tend not to be sexually appealing, you know." He says telepathically to Lex and Jiko.
Captain's Quarters
Peter is rather restless in his sleep for some reason...

Amos nods to Michael. "Yeah, it..."
He trails off as the link finally connects, displaying an image of Greg at his seat, looking at his terminal, clearly disgruntled. "...Well, you could have said something? Am I supposed to just assume-" he starts to respond to Zevai, before Amos calls out.
"C-Captain! What are you doing?! Why did we take off?" Amos interrupts, not realizing he was having a conversation. "We told you we were touring our friend around. He's still on-board!"
Greg blinks. "Uh...what. No. Nuh-uh. You didn't..."
"...Yes, we did. It was right back in the cargo bay."
Greg starts to sweat slightly. "Uh...Y-You're breaking up...I can't...ear...ou..."
"No, you're not! I can signal reading on my screen..."
...
...
...
"ME NO SPEAK ENGLISH, BYE!" *click*
The video shuts off. Amos stares at the blank screen in utter disbelief for a moment before merely reopening the connection.
"Captain..."
"Alright, alright, I forgot, OK?! The tin can men fucked me up bad!" Greg exclaims, probably loud enough that Zevai can hear through the comm and from Amos's monitor in the room where she is. He the pauses and looks up. "...Why the fuck is the floor shaking? And...And..." he goes completely silent for a moment as if he's watching something. "...WHY THE FUCK ARE MITCH AND RAKIRI FUCKING IN MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW, WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Amos looks utterly shocked by Greg's more than odd reactions and exclamations. "Uh...C-Captain? T-Tin can men...? Shaking...? Er...Mitch and Rakiri...? W-what on earth..."
He pauses for a moment and looks at Michael. "Um...yeah, I don't think he's going to be much help right now..."
Med Bay
"Think nothing of it." he says with a reassuring nod. "Heh, and sure...that's the least I can do." he says before pausing and glances around. "Do...you feel a sort of...rumbling?"

Michael just stares blankly at Amos and the close comm link in disbelief not knowing how to respond...."Sooo does this mean i'm on a space adventure as well now?" He questions to Amos and Michael in a amused coy tone, the latter of which returns a confused uhhh and a shrug looking to the other.
Then Russell looks vaguely in Izzie's direction again, his balance slightly off still being correctedby the white cane he had been walking with previously. "Oh yeah I have some stuff in my bag."
Michael perks up and looks at him. "How much, can I check. I don't have a lot but I have some minor spare stuff otherwise you can borrow and ur-?" Michael is trying to be responsible and improvise.
The boy gives a wide smile and pulls off the bag and opens it up to let people see the contents of the backpack. "Calm down. I'm prepared!" He responds his grin almost devilish.
Michael peering over and just freezing. "Wait... why do you have all of this with you...?"
Anyone looking inside the bag would notice it has been packed with a spare pair of hightop shoes, a jacket, a cold weather coat, a few t-shirts, a pair of shorts, a pair of jeans, some other smaller articles of clothing, a tooth brush, tooth paste and a small stack of candy bars and bags of chocolate. The bag essentially stuffed to its limit as far as he could get without making it bulge. Then of course the hoverboard is attached to the bag's outer strap and he has what he is wearing... Well he has stuff at least but... why?

Blake looks around confused. "Yeah, what in the void is that...?" Blake says genuinely confused wondering it it just started or if he missed it before.The Troperia - Hallway
Kyerine has this still absolutely confused expression on his face as he responds. "It's just a tool though and the bear is just a stuffed snuggle toy... It doesn't hold any memories we hold memories in us. You don't need help in keeping them."edited 10th Jun '16 8:12:12 PM by darkdestinysoul

Chris sighs calmly, yawning sleepily, "I have a feeling Toraq might be able to explain better. As for me...I should probably sl-..." something invisible seems to have seriously... distracted...Chris, whose nostrils are now flaring between deeply blushing cheeks, "I uh...should be...er...getting to bed." He awkwardly stands and walks to his quarters, holding the large bear in front of his waist. Mitch may find a strongly worded paragraph in Chris' unmistakably ornate handwriting gouged deep into his door about inopportune broadcasting times, that possibly ends with how he might like to subscribe to similar shows in the future if set at a better hour.Lounge
Merrick manages to sigh and chuckle at the same time, "Well...It's not like we don't have the people to look after you, so..."Training Room
Lex lightly wraps an arm around Kijo's waist, and starts trying to walk him to the Med Bay, grunting softly as she tries absorbing a bit of the pain from him via telepathy, possibly much aided by her actually being in his subconscious, she retorts, "You sure, softie? Seem snuggly and warm all of a sudden." If he's able to banter, I guess the wound isn't that bad... she thinks.If David is in view, she'll simply walk past, simply saying "Med bay."
Subconscious Lex rubs at the place Jiko's wound would be while tracing his shining gridwires while laying her head on his shoulder, whispering, Te pharan kaosì’xo énèto.
If Kijo speaks any Kirina, or is able to correlate terms from Echirean-dialect Echirina to Kirina-dialect Echirina and vice versa, Lex is basically saying 'light shines brightest in the darkness'.

"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."
Training Room - > Med Bay
Lex's treatment works but Kijo attempts to reject the hand around his waist - he can walk on his own, he reasons - but he only now realizes he's a little weak. Like his energy has been sapped. In reality, in the time it took for him to take the wound, let it sit in the sea, and then finally congeal over to start healing, he'd lost more blood than one might have previously thought.
I can agree with that, Kijo tries to broadcast, though his efficiency with telepathic communication is just as sterling as Jiko's. That is to say, practically non-existent, Maybe that will convince them to lay off it a little.
As they walk, despite his best efforts, Kijo will gradually begin using Lex as a support on their way, and when he catches her words to Jiko in his subconscious he raises an eyebrow.
"Light is cautious...what are you talking about?"
Jiko's Subconscious
"I didn't catch that...it's weird isn't it?" Jiko after Lex speaks, copying her motion and running his hands lightly along her shoulders and back, "You'd think I'd know the bits and pieces he knows, but I can't really get a handle on them." The pain fades off but he is aware of just how weak his body is. He keeps it to himself.
The Kestral
David, it turns out, is not anywhere to be found between the Training Room and the Med Bay. He is, in fact, sitting back in his ship with his parts gathered in front of him for the reconstructed device that started this whole mess. He still feels quite bad about it, and has begun pouring into the work with more fervor than he'd shown before.
You know you should probably rest a little bit, right? I think it's been...somewhere around 32 hours since you actually got some sleep.
"Yes, and in that time we've done quite a few things to fix."
You still need to truly discuss the matter with the captain. You heard Tom's reply. Or the Echirean within him at any rate. The sooner the better - the kid could come to, or we could get in trouble with some of the other Cells.
David shudders at this last part. Some of the Cells are nasty pieces of work. Truly crazed men and women with horrifying goals of human advancement. That's why they're Cells, some of them - keep the crazy ones away from the real projects.
"Later. Right now I have an idea," he says, and pulls a small component forward to inspect it. It looks like a touch-sensitive screen display, though not quite like the one that was on the original device.
Training Room
Jonathan walks in, going for one of the shooting arcades. Instead of taking up a weapon, he simply mutters something under his breath, and starts shooting blue energy bullets from his pointed index finger. Somehow, this kid manages to always hit his target.Arboretum
Dulkar walks around, looking at the trees. Stopping in front of a Terran tree, he suddenly feels like he already has seen this tree somewhere before...
Bridge
"The part about those two is probably my fault." Val says to Greg. "Hey, don't stress out. We can just drop the kid off at the next planet along with a return ticket." He puts his hand on Greg's shoulder reassuringly. "...Or maybe not, if he wants to stay."
"Granted. Keep in mind there's another ship docking as well, though." Val says to Zevai through the intercom.
VR Room
Dominic places the box in one of the drawers at the VR control room, and runs a few tests to make sure the uploaded program has been installed correctly. He then walks out of the room.
Training Room
Dominic conjures a temporary floating Hard Light chair for Kijo to sit on on their way to the med bay as he walks out.

Izzie looks at the bag's contents. "Um, why do you look like you're already packed for a trip?" She asks Russell.
"Greg... does that sometimes, though it's not really his fault in this case." She says to Zevai.

Amos merely nods. "Erm...yeah, that's just our captain. Certainly an animated fellow..." he says to Zevai, and looks back.to Izzie. "Wait, you know what's wrong with him?"
Then he looks back at Russell. "...Oh my god, you planned this from the beginning didn't you." he says, seeing the extent of how much Russell prepared.
Bridge
Greg is a little bit too busy spazzing to respond to Val. "OK, SERIOUSLY, I DO NOT NEED THIS RIGHT NOW IN MY HEAD! IF IT WAS TIME FOR MY PERSONAL TIME, THIS WOULD BE A WHOLE OTHER STORY!"
A message appears on screen that someone is trying to contact the Troperia.

"...It seems.to have stopped. Odd..." he trails off before.moving to something else. "Anyway, your brother and you are in good hands." Tor assures, and he goes to check Matt's vitals again. "How is your bite wound feeling?"

Russell just bursts out laughing for a moment. "Yep! I had this big thing planned and everything and it turns out your Captain just took off without me doing anything!" Laughing the entire time and just speaking whenever he gets a chance."Wait but why?" Michael asks confused.
Russell shrugs a little. "The orphanage is boring, I've always wanted to visit space. Amos told me I couldn't till i'm older." He turns to look at Amos. "I win!." A coy smile on his face.
"What? This will be fun!" He lets out excitedly while Michael is still trying to process all that just happened. Russell does eventually stop laughing to give a breif confused look vaguely in Zevai's direction.

"It aches and stings a lot. No idea if that is how it is suppose to feel, can never say I have been bit by a shark before now." He responds with a bit of a sigh, going and taking his seat near Matt again.Matt's vitals were the same as before, like a creature in hibernation but otherwise as healthy as you would expect with him just coming out of surgery a short while ago.

"Alright, alright." Val chuckles and shuts off the images from Greg's mind. "Did you listen to anything I said?"
"Huh? Looks like that other ship is trying to contact us." He opens a comm line.

"Val was recording the... things happening in Mitch's room telepathically and sent it to me for temporary storage, since he doesn't have a memory drive with him. Apparently he broadcast it to everyone else in our mental network as well." Izzie points to her interface device as she explains to Amos.
"Just... try not to get the captain in any more potential trouble, ok?" She says to Russell, having mixed feelings about him. While he's put the ship, and Greg in particular, at risk, Greg himself did something similar when he was younger.

The Eccentric Electric
Troperia Observation Deck:
During the course of everything that had been happening, Torvahk continued observing the environment around him. He would notice a giant blue planet gradually shrink as the Troperia left Lyca IV, along with the binary star system that he was briefly blinded by. He also thought he noticed an asteroid belt, which he remembered were a lot easier to avoid than they were typically portrayed in fiction. After several minutes of laying on the ground, Torvahk's back began to get sore, prompting him to stand up again. Afterall, his armored spacesuit was designed with pragmatism in mind, not comfort. Unsure of what to do next, Torvahk decided to wander about the ship again, not having any particular needs requiring his attention besides a mild case of discomfort.

It should feature one of the pilots, if there is a video, otherwise, the comm won't show anything.

Greg takes some calming breaths as the visions stop. He looks over at Val, clearly pissed. "Well, it wasn't exactly easy to listen with fucking D&A flashing all up in my face." he says with a grimace.
As the comm channel opens Greg looks at the screen. "Huh...we read you. Are you having some trouble?"

"...Um. Yeah...I'm not going to ask why that was a thing that was happening..." Amos replies to Izzie with a blush and looks back to Russell. He's not even sure how to respond at this point. "And I didn;t say couldn't, I said...I didn't think you were going to take that literally..." he says with a sigh. "Space isn't all about fun and games. Space can be a dangerous place..."

"I can give you another healing session if you;d like." Tor offers while recording Matt's vitals down on a datapad and also switches the I Vs when the prior one runs just about dry.

Michael blushes up a lot looking at Izzie then to Amos realizing what she was talking about, meanwhile it had clearly gone right over Russell's head.Russell turns to perhaps argue with Izzie about something then Amos speaks and his words perhaps hit Russell a little his enthusiasm dying down. "I know... I'm not trying to cause trouble.... I just-" His head turning back and fourth at everyone, perhaps only now the consequences not of space but that people might be annoyed or upset were starting to sink in. "... come on I didn't actually do anything..." Russell clearly a little worried about people being upset.
Michael frowning looking back and fourth. "H-He is right. Even if he planned to try something he wasn't the one who did and urm... Well if he didn't this would be alot harder." Michael says gesturing to the bag. Michael was not happy with the situation but making the best with whats going on is all he could do.

Izzie steps in between Russell and Zevai. "Alright, what are you asking so many questions for? Because if it's for drilling in how little the kid knows about space travel, I think we've already figured that part out." She looks back to Russell. "We can teach him."

"You know, I'd think you'd have gotten used to that with your Psychic Link. Sorry." Val says to Greg, then turns back to the comms. "How badly damaged is your ship? How many people are on board?" He asks, running a basic scan on the other ship just to make sure it's not some pirate ship trying to hijack the Troperia.
The Eccentric Electric
Troperia Hallways -> Training Room:
Torvahk would once again walk through the halls of the Troperia, but he was not wandering aimlessly as he made a direct route for the Training Room, guided by his portable map. He figured he hardly had any time to fully tour what the Training Room had to offer before the fight earlier had broken out, and wanted to see if there was anything he missed. Not to mention the fact that he had spent years dedicated to having at least some level of physical exercise daily. Eventually Torvahk would arrive in the Training Room, looking around as he took notice of everyone inside and the state of the area.

Greg looks down down at his console, listening to Val communicate with the other ship. "Eh...it's fine. If I was doing anything else, I wouldn't have minded so much. But...well, I'm glad those to finally stopped beating around the bush, I guess, heh..."

Amos also, steps up in defense in Russell. "And if you think I'm going to let anything bad happen to him, you're worrying for naught. He's inexperienced, but he can learn, like she said. And I'll keep him safe while helping him do just that." he says to Zevai as well.
Med Bay
"Right, then." With a nod, Tor goes over to Blake and kneels, looking at his bite wound. Raising his hand, wisps of Essence swirls about his fingers as he glides his hand just over the wounds, the Essence mingling with the skin and tissues to start repairing them. "Does it hurt more in any specific area?"
Mitch's Room
"...*pant...*pant*..."
Still working to completely catch his breath, Rakiri pants as his body starts to slowly recover from its ordeal. A mixture of pain, fulfillment, and joy all lingered in his mind and body. He gingerly runs a hand over his bare torso, wincing slightly as pain suddenly flares in lower end. A good sign he probably wasn't going to be walking straight for the next day or two, he figured. Oh well.
Glancing over, he shifts—very carefully—to reach over and wrap his arms around Mitch, laying his head on his chest.
"...Well...that was definitely no Echirean mating ritual..." he starts, a slight blush on his face. "Are...you alright?"

Michael also comes to his defence, maybe a little less fervently than the others though. "Yeah, I-I barely knew about any of that when I first came urm, a-aboard I'm still learning about the engineering bits... but everyone has to start learning the basics at-urm some some point. F-for the suit..? I know someone aboard who get one fitted for him if we need to!" Michael ends with a sudden realisation at a solution to that potential issue, also the fact he still did not have one for emergencies of a breach.Russell was maybe about to do something, looking vaguely at Zevai's direction but everyone stepping in he... Well he is a little overwhelmed, worried a second earlier than everyone was going to be upset or dislike him were now defending him...

Blake winces a little as the procedure goes forward but quickly responds. "The top inside part of my leg the most. Think i-ahh, it nearly hit the vein..."

"...*pant*... I think I should be the one asking you that. I still have a lot more in store for you..." Mitch says with a devilish grin, despite the fact that he can barely move himself thanks to all the times Rakiri unintentionally shocked him. He strokes Rakiri's hair with one hand and his wrist with the other.
"Still, you did pretty good there. Certainly got the stamina..." He kisses Rakiri's head. "Does it chafe bad?" He asks.

Kijo is about to shoot a comment back but whinces when Alex touches his side. The blood on the shirt has dried and congealed to the wound itself, which is shallow but not at all pretty.
"This body is too static. Can't just patch up with energy," then, with a glare, "I am not a cuddly bear."
In the subconscious, Jiko laughs and also winces, the pain transferring to him as well.
