EVERYONE
Rina stood back a pace as the Professor approached the throne, taking another involuntary one as the skeleton crumbled at their touch. The Tintinna tensed as the Chadra-Fan fitted the ancient cybernetic eyepiece over their face.
"Er, Professor," she said hesitantly, "you may want to...
EVERYONE
Rina rubbed her apparently dead arm as she listened to the response from the hologram, raising her eyebrows as the implications of what it said sank in. She looked up at the skeleton in the throne, and at the extensive cybernetics which had been grafted onto it...
"Oh... kriff, okay...
EVERYONE
As the other members of the group stood around discussing the revelations that the hologram had provided, Rina worked through the dusty readouts and control panels which ringed the huge space, standing on tiptoe to reach some of them. The systems were of an utterly archaic design; the...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina walked toward the raised dais topped by the command throne and its skeletal occupant; unlike some of the others, she did not seem to feel apprehension toward it. She felt... a person; it was a skill she had always had, the ability to sense when someone was nearby, though it was...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina barely reacted as the Doctor scooped her up, carrying her into the lift. She clutched at her ruined arm, desperately trying to renew the state of concentration which had allowed her to suppress the immense pain; gradually, she found she was able to force the sensation back...
TEAM DOCTOR
As the strange sound resounded in Rina's head, the Tintinna gave a cry of anguish. The information being shoved into her mind was bad enough, but it was the secondary effect which caused the real problem. Her concentration was broken, and like a serpent held at bay, the pain she had...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina nodded to the Doctor, dutifully going to the controls panel for the apparent turbolift and keying the digits of the password she had recovered into it. As she did, she gave a nervous look toward Ra'sa'd and Trodai (@Akheron); the adventurer had proven willing to betray them...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina stood, holding out her arm as Trodai (@Akheron) instructed. She hesitated, though; Ra'sa'd had turned on them, but something about the purpose of this exertion of her newfound power seemed...
Kyssiara (@René) took away the necessity for Rina to choose, stepping in to help...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina hissed in a breath through gritted teeth as the Doctor put an improvised tourniquet on her shredded arm; the material quickly soaked through, stained deep red, but the bleeding seemed to have mostly been staunched, at least for now.
Hazily, the little Tintinna looked up at...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina blinked as the stranger - Ra'sa'd, he introduced himself as - began speaking Basic. Had he been able to do that the whole time? For some reason, the Tintinna doubted it; she thought back to the rumors of strange powers wielded by those strong in the Force, whatever that was...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina looked over her shoulder at Kyssiara (@René), blinking in confusion.
"I thought Sith was a religion. It's a language too??"
The stranger had stooped to roll the crystal toward the group, and Rina, being closest, stooped to gather it up. Lifting it to eye level, she studied...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina looked between Kyssiara (@René) and the stranger, her broad ears twitching slightly. There was almost no way she could be more on edge, but the alien syllables were managing it.
"Okay what language is that? I kinda wanna know what's going on here, seeing as I'm between you...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina had expected to be able to dodge past the slow reactions of the security droid, but hadn't expected to be outright ignored; obviously, the machine didn't consider her a threat.
Wouldn't be thinking that if he'd see what I can do with a hydrospanner! the Tintinna thought to...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina jumped as the power came back on in the room, her gaze turning toward the bank of windows that the shutters had revealed. Drawn by a ruby glow, she went toward it, small hands pressing up on the transparisteel as she looked down at the scene below. She marveled at the sight...
TEAM DOCTOR
Rina was looking up in amazement at the ancient, dusty arrays of cathode flasks that composed the display system of the massive computer. She tried to remember where she had ever seen equipment so primitive; sure, there were terminals that used such equipment to this day, but...
