Wolfkin rolled her eyes and headed down the hall after Nova calling back, "not a chance in hell Tsaeb, your welcome to tag along but I'm sticking with him" Wolfkin was fighting back tears, she knew what he ment and it hurt deeply, "you don't mind us tagging along do you?"

"Plenty of room in the ship," Nova said simply as he keyed in the password to the hangar.

Wolfkin grinned, "Then it's final"

Right, looks like I'll need to retreat my Krystazians to allow the free movement of the characters, and also to relpy to Aeve. Got it.
Krystazians
Shatter Ice called back the remainder of his unharmed troops, leaving three to fight, and headed back for the ship once the alien showed up. It was one of them...the cursed Sun-Dwellers.
He hurried his unit along, only to stop in shock as the wreckage and death around the ship's opening was revealed. <Get inside! Quickly!> he flashed to the rest of them, searching among the shards of crystal for any sign of Broken Glass. The gleam of the crystal denied him his worry, and he followed his men inside their ship.
Ok, this means that Shimei and everyone with her now has to look out for these guys and try to get back out
*********
Shimei stood up stiffly and began picking crystal shards out of her skin and hair. Some of them had left deep gashes, and at least one felt like it was buried in her arm. Wincing, she peered through the door into the armory, absently replying to Aeve's comment.
"Yeah, I think you've got that right. But let's get some weapons and get out of here. I'll bet the Krystazians will be returning."
She sucked in a breath as she pulled one particularly jagged shard from her leg. "Let's hurry."

Aeve scrambled to her feet, wincing as she watched Shimei pulled crystal shards from her skin.
Aeve had a few scratches and a piece of crystal in the fleshy part of her left thumb, shallowly sticking in the skin. She plucked it out quickly, feeling slightly sick and helped Lilia to her feet.
They turned to the jagged hole Shimei had created in the wall. A chamber opened beyond it, light sparkling in and on cases of...
"What are these things?" Aeve asked, moving cautiously into the room. A gracefully arcing display case of sorts bent around to the left, odd shapes of crystal and metal combined sitting on shelving in serried ranks, seeming to pulse with an inner glow.
The same gently pulsing glow that Aeve now noticed in the walls as well.
To the right another gently curving case seemed to embrace them. This one held much more familiar weapons.

"This place is weird," Lilia muttered, wiping a thin line of blood off her forehead, where she had cracked it against a wall - not doing much to help her headache. She was looking forward to getting out of there.
She followed Aeve's gaze to the weapons case, and frowned. "You think we can get them out?"

"I'm wondering if they'd do us any good," Aeve said, gesturing at the traditional weapons, "or are they for use on soft-bodies like us?" She turned her attention to the crystal/metal shapes, "If these are weapons they might affect the Krystazians more."
She sucked the injured hand, tasting blood and wishing she felt a lot better than she did.

Shimei shrugged. "I'd think any of them should work on Krystazians. That's what they were developed for first. Right now, any weapons of theirs should be adaptations."

Nova made his way down to the ship in the hangar, going straight to the cockpit. The sooner they could leave, the better.

Lilia arched an eyebrow. "Then we'd better take some. We'll need them if we meet any Krystazians, and they might help breaking out of the ship too."

Shimei nodded, picking another sliver out of her hand, and headed for the nearest weapon that approximated a blaster. "Let's each take more than one, so we'll have back ups just in case."

Aeve nodded and followed Shimei. She had never fired anything but a regular ion blaster. Sometimes the charges had actually registered on the target.
She inspected the odd-looking weapons, choosing one tentatively.

Just to avoid an argument in a somewhat precarious scenario, Osiris decided to follow. 'Who knows,' he thought. 'Worst comes to worse, this might even get fun.'

Nova readied the ship's engines, waiting only to make sure the others had boarded.

Shimei glanced over at the weapong Aeve had chosen and nodded with approval. "Good pick. With your light build, you'll need something that won't toss you around with recoil. Try to find another one."

Even with her knowledge of weapons, Lilia found most of the Krystazian armoury. Finally, praying to whatever gods of chance were listening, she picked one she felt she would be able to lift.

Shimei tucked one Krystazian style blaster into the small of her back and hefted the other one for a moment before finding another place to put it. Aeve looked to be well prepared, but Lilia appeared to be a bit uncertain. "You find one you think you'll want to use?" she asked, moving over to the other woman.

I really suck with technology. Please forgive me >.<
"Well ... I've found one I think I'll be able to use," Lilia replied with an unsure smile, showing Shimei the weapon she had picked out. It looked to her to be a short range that had a long-range extension. "What do you think?"

lol. Not a problem. I'll have Shimei whip up a nice sounding name and description of what your weapon can do!
Shimei felt gravity trying to drop her chin onto her chest. She drew a long, slow breath. "Lilia, you must have the Goddess of Luck on your side." She ran her gaze down the side of the sleek sky-blue of the crystalline weapon. "I...I haven't seen one of those in...years."
She gave her head one shake, then locked eyes with Lilia. "This is a very powerful weapon. Not only will it shoot, it will extend and morph into a..." she smiled slightly, "very beautiful spear. If it likes you, it will also shield you. Even if you have not fought well before this, now you cannot help but fight well."
Her smile faded. "It is Asheiratsi."

"Asher...Ashier..." Aeve gave up and looked Lilia's weapon over with interest. "Turns into a spear? Sheilds you? Is it in some way biological?"

Lilia's engineer brain had gone into hyperdrive, thinking about all the possible ways she could try to replicate such a weapon ... though if Aeve was right and the weapon was biological, it would probably be high on impossible.
Despite that, a grin spread across her face. "Well, whatever, it's cool."

"Ash-e-air-rat-si..." Shimei drew the name out slowly. "And no, it isn't biological...exactly. It's...well, you might call it...reactive." A glint flashed in her eye. "Like this!" She sprang up into the air, whipping out one of the blasters and bringing it down like a club toward Lilia's head. Ashieratsi should react to form a shield...or a spear...depending on how Lilia reacts. No need to worry about Shimei getting hurt though.

Lilia looked up from her Ashieratsi at Shimei's sudden movement, and for a moment froze in alarm. Then, panicking, she lifted the weapon over her head to protect herself, screaming out "Holy --!"
But she didn't need to worry. There was a crystalline whine like when the ship's doors had opened, and the Ashieratsi unfolded into a many-faceted, glittering shield around her.

Aeve flattened herself against the wall, nearly dropping the weapon as the shield deployed. She fumbled the rifle and managed not to shoot anything.
"Will you two stop fooling around?" Aeve hissed, "I don't think we'll be alone for long."

Shimei stopped herself in mid-leap, settling lightly back to the floor. "Now that Lilia understands her weapon, we can go." She glanced around at the others. "That is, if you're satisfied by the weapons you chose?"
