Flightus Interuptus

by Jerry J. Vahn

Runeforce and Phaser piloted the Xplore plane as we, Lilianna, Sandcrab and I, headed for Russia to try to find and make sure that her parents, the Prince Michael and Princess Michael were safe. Sandcrab installed his L-nanite in my head.
 
Now that was an experience. It went well, I think. I just hope it's not what caused the explosion.
 
We were flying along nicely, when, well, all hell broke loose. There was a shake rattle and roll as the Xplore plane began to break up. The entire area was flooded with energy, and we seemed to float rather than plummet to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
 
Lilianna created a platform for us to stand on, just out of the water. Runeforce lay on it, unconscious and really torn up. The rest of us, including Phaser seemed unharmed. Sandcrab found an ocean platform fairly close, so we made our way there. The crew there only had the supplies and knowledge to stabilize Runeforce. It was decided that I would run him back to Homestead, as I could get the two of use there in a couple of seconds at best.
 
I dropped him off, then returned to the platform and we made our way to land. Sandcrab noticed that there were drones in the area, apparently searching, so we went underground.
 
It took everything in me to follow them underground. I know it may be strange, but I do NOT like small, confined places, especially if I cannot see a way out.
 
We finally made it to the outskirts of the town with the PRIMUS Doomsday safe house. We changed over to our 'regular' identities and walked into town. Who knew that Sandcrab was an old man? Phaser was having some issues with 'energy' flowing out of her body, but we made it to the safe house.
 
Sandcrab opened up the safehouse door, and we went in. Good news, it hadn't been found by the new authorities. Bad news, well, no one was there to help us out. We were able to get some stuff up and working, but there was a lot of dust.
 
Phaser, now Lyzen, was able to finally get her new abilities somewhat under control. It seems that the 'Rune Force' as they had been calling it, left Runeforce and moved into her. I wasn't really sure what to do, but I knew that I was hungry, so I went in search of some food. Food is always a good thing.
