I don't really have anything to do with ol' Ozzy right now. He's just waiting for someone to chance into the medbay.

@Nevix

You might've missed it but everyone has been called to the bridge for the mission.

Unquiet

Wow Mokely I never pegged you for an artist ��

Unquiet

Rose accepted the girls hand, hoisting herself up an onto the wall. She gave the girl a toothy grin, "Thank you. I almost didn't think you were going to help." Rose let out a slight chuckle. Apparently almost dying was amusing to the witch. Rose looked down at those still below, particularly Nail. She shook here head, "Bad deal. Those things don't bargain unless they're going to get the better end of the deal. Most demons need to trick you into stealing your soul, but it seems like our friend is eager to lose it. I wouldn't take a deal like that, y'know, learned better... er..." Rose realized she didn't know the name of her savior, or for that matter anyone else that had lived through the earthquake. "I'm Rose, by the by." Rose didn't extend her hand to be shook, instead forcibly grabbing the blue-haired girls hand and shaking it.

This would be a normal albeit slightly weird interaction in any other situation, but here in a collapsing prison being attacked by an ogre at what seemed to be the end of the world Rose's calmness might have been slightly unnerving to some. In fact it seemed she didn't care a fig about the apocalypse happening around her, or at least if she did she wasn't visibly worried. She looked at the ogre trotting towards them. "Unless you have a plan to take that thing down I would recommend we get down onto the ground and start running. I would... well, y'know, 'magic' it but, uh, there aren't exactly a lot of reagents on hand. Maybe with some chalk and a small blood sacrifice... no, no, actually that would get pretty messy, on second thought let's just run."

Rose began to scan the wall, searching for a way down. She noticed the exterior of the prison was caked with vines and other greenery. It looked like she found her way down. "Well, that certainly looks like our best bet." She said, gesturing towards the vines."Last one downs ogre food?" She said with a playful smile. "We better be quick about it." Rose grabbed a thick vine, giving it an exploratory tug. It seemed sturdy enough... hopefully. She grabbed onto it and began to slide her way down, hoping the ogre wouldn't run up and swat her off.

Emma looked around before she descended into the darkness. It was clear: The city had fallen. Despite the walls, despite the guns, despite everything, it looked like eventually everything did end. She released the boy's hand, turning to him. "You can come with us if you want... but... well, I was going to say it'll probably be dangerous, but it looks like we're in the middle of a whole lot of danger. I'll try my best to get you to safety and then..." She looked at they boy. He was obviously homeless, bandaged, bruised, dirty. He didn't have parents to go back to, at least Emma didn't think so. "Well, you can decide what to do." She nodded at him, turning to the manhole cover, descending into the depths of the sewers.

Unsurprisingly it stank. Her face scrunched. She wasn't exactly use to conditions like this. She stepped down into the muck, knee deep in filth. "Gross." She sighed. Why can't our escape route be a nice hospitable underground anything-but-a-sewer, huh? As for Lily's question, Emma shook her head. She was wracked with guilt over losing Meryn. She took a moment to think it over. She saw Meryn a lot, but only in her shop, and it wasn't exactly like she could ask a mute girl where she liked to hang out. "If she got lost... I doubt she'd stay in one place, she'd probably take to the roofs, get on the move. At least that's my best guess."

Emma looked down at the filth they were walking in. "Y'know, this is a real shitty situation... figuratively and literally." Emma followed Lily to the light. "Although I don't know how we're going to find her. The streets are chaos and if those things find us they'll kill us. We need a plan- even if we get outside of the city it's not like we'll be much safer, there's just as many of them outside as there are in. Maybe there's somewhere inside that's still holding out?"

Soon! I just finished my term paper but now I have to sleep.

As Ben's spoke Rain's smile turned a bit queer for a moment, a suspicious sort of grin, until he gave a wink signifying his sarcasm- or at least she hoped that was the meaning. Rain accepted his hand, shaking it as she should. "If you say so, 'Old' Ben. Well, I think you already know I'm a pilot but it appears the AI is more keen on flying the ship himself- why hire a pilot if you don't want her to fly? Especially a ship as cool as this. This thing cost a real fortune- even with my memories gone I can say for sure I've never flown anything like this." Speaking of the AI, it suddenly chirped up, ordering them to the bridge. "Speak of the devil. Better get going." Ben went about equipping himself in the armory- Rain felt like she should do the same, but she wasn't exactly much of a fighter, and none of the items really interested her. She wasn't really keen to use her own pistol, but she knew if push comes to shove she would have to. She saw Ben pick up a taser baton. It seemed a suitable enough weapon for self-defense, so she grabbed one for herself, hooking it to her belt. Ben started to leave, nodding at her. Rain returned his nod, and suddenly had an idea.

I've hardly looked at my PDA... How could she not think to? It probably contained some useful information. She headed out into the hall, beginning the walk to her room. She pulled the device, and powered it on. As the device slowly whirled to life a holographic projection greeted her, 'standing' on the screen of the PDA. It was a robotic but decidedly womanly visage. "Welcome, Miss Causwell. I have been instructed to reintroduce myself the next time I am powered on. I am Erin, your personal assistant so to speak. You can ask me to find information for you or set tasks for me, and I'll do the best I can to fill out your request." Rain gave the device a quizzical look. "I'm sorry, this doesn't make much sense... are you AI? I didn't think I would... well, make one." The projection shook it's head. "No, I am not Artificial Intelligence. I am a Virtual Intelligence- I can perform many of the same tasks as an AI, although I am ultimately not self aware or capable of independent thinking." Rain gave the projection a nod. For now she tapped the screen, which ushered the projection away, giving way to the device's interface. She didn't see much that seemed immediately useful until she came to a file labeled "WhenIWakeUp.txt". She tapped the icon, opening a simple text document onto the device. It didn't say much. All that was written was, Sometimes it's best not to look for the answers we want. Rain shook her head. I sure am the cryptic one, aren't I? She had her suspicions about what the words meant, but nothing concrete. Maybe she really did want to forget her past.

She spoke to the device one more time, "Erin, we don't have extranet access here do we? The next time you can get a connection find any information you can about myself." She briefly considered asking about the others aboard her ship, but decided against it. After all, was it really healthy for the crew dynamic if they went behind each other's backs for info? Although she didn't doubt at least one of them had already done so. She didn't have anything to hide- hopefully. The robotic secretary confirmed her task then went into standby mode. Rain lipped the PDA back to her belt. It only provided more questions instead of answers- hopefully the robot's search would be fruitful. By the time she was done she had came to the door of a room, heading inside. She walked over to the desk and picked up her toolbox. She had a feeling she'd need it- she couldn't really fight, so she would have to provide quite a bit of utility for the team if she wasn't going to be dead weight. With her belongings in hand she headed to the bridge, ready for the briefing.

Once Rain has been posted for, I shall make my post!

@Eisenhorn

You can go ahead since I'm going to wait for Roosan to edit.
