Skye Prower

(ooc: not much I can do in the story right now. Skye has just involved himself, or rather his turret, in the locke fight, and Melody is helping in the infirmary. Neither situation will change without outside influence.)

Told you it was easy. Yep, you're correct.

(ooc: Possibly enough to bludgeon someone into unconsciousness with! :P )

Nope.

Ok. This will probably be an easy one. Acquired a Chaos Emerald, but never spoke a line.

(ooc: cool. Good to know you haven't been completely exiled by your holidays)

Sabre... or is it spelt Saber? I can't remember.

Dimitri?

Got all three, and still have them to play as well. But it's just not quite the same as on the big screen. And anyway, the last one is still... how old?

"Maybe he's still sleeping in that cryopod you were found in. Or maybe this worlds' Shadow wasn't immortal." (ooc: Why can't I shake the feeling the next line is 'Or maybe he's standing right behind you!' :P Anyway, catch all of you in five/six hours or so.)

"Uh, whoops, heh heh. Um, you weren't meant too hear that. Actually, thinking about it, where IS this world's Shadow? There has to be one or your access codes wouldn't have worked..."

Quite a few things I'd want from a STH game. But primarily, above them all: playable Tails. It's been far too long. And, no, I don't count STH4 EPII. That doesn't have a Tails solo mode.

Skye raised an eyebrow and returned to watching the controls. "What an odd guy," he mumbled.

Skye grinned at Shadow. "Of course I can. It's easy. And I've put the rest of the cannon on an automated targeting program. Anyway, no need for YOU to worry, this isn't your world or your Ark after all. Leave it to this worlds Shadow."

(ooc: Wheee, plot hole. Zet was actually on the Ark. Oh well, we can say he went back alone to try and save Ziona) Melody had earlier rushed Dylan to the infirmary, and was now racing back and forth between the multiple patients treating them as she went. Meanwhile, Skye had finished modifying one of the internal defense turrets for the Ark. Sitting in the firing chair for the exterior cannons, which he'd modified to be a remote control for the now mobile turret. A few clicks of the controls and the turret was teleported to the surface. "I hope Dylan didn't mind me borrowing his teleporter for that."

Skye stood ridged for a moment, torn between his hatred for the woman who took his sister's life, and his desire to put his whole past behind and start a new life with a new family. Unsure of what to do, he took his frustrations out on the wall. He was still nursing his hand when Melody hurtled up to him and slapped him on the back of his head. "What did you say to Mom? It looked like you really upset her." Skye looked at Melody. If she could call the woman who killed her Mom, Skye was sure he'd be able to find some way to forgive her. Even though it wouldn't be easy. "It doesn't matter. C'mon, I'm gonna need a hand to take down one of these turrets." "What? You mean we aren't going ourselves?" "I'll let you use the turret once we set it up," Skye promised his sister. Melody's face lit up.

"That's only going to happen if you tie a rope to her. She'll always act even if it's the worst thing she can do. That's what happened when she..." Skye chocked back the word 'died', partially because he didn't want to say it, and because he remembered that Red had been involved. His whole manner stiffened. "Anyway, that doesn't matter. She'll stay up here and I'll get a cannon ready to teleport. You can go and save Dylan and the others. Once the cannon is read it can give you covering fire."

"If we use my cannon idea, I should be able to control for here, or if not a safe distance. As for Melody, well she always acts before she thinks. Probably because she can act faster than most people can think. Melody won't mean to cause trouble, but..."

"Not a bomb. The point defense systems for dealing with small debris. Or even some of the internal weaponry should pack a punch." Skye then moved in and whispered to Red. "And Mom, if Melody goes down she's gonna get involved in a fight, no matter what you or Dad says."

"What? But, but... Dad's in trouble. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW!" Skye looked around thoughtfully, then gave a sly grin. "We're on a station loaded with external defenses. It won't take me long to rig up a remote and beam one of those down."

The two kids were dancing round each other, chanting 'We did it, we did it" before they realized that Dylan had stopped responding and Locke and Shadow had gone. "Wha.. where did Dad and the others go? Did the Syphon..." "No, nothing like that. Wait, Dad's radio is still open. Listen." "We've got to get down there." "How? They've taken the teleporter." "Not all of them," grinned Melody as she glanced significantly at Zet.

(ooc: back to the action then?) "I don't know what the DEL are up to, but I've tuned the harmonic stabilizers to compensate. Readings are still in the green area."

Is it my imagination or does that Cream look sad?

(ooc: Hey, no need to apologise. And I've no ideas right now, but doubtless someone will think of something.)

(ooc: Uh, Dylan? Are you wanting to do the DEL stuff? If not, no worries the rest of us can make stuff up.)
