Flimsy of Doom

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

I seem to be floating in fluffy green goo and there are wires all over me. It is not that I am uncomfortable, but I am unable to get out of here and I really want to hyperventilate, but GOO!!?!? I am really panicking, and then it tries to 'help' me and I know that is a bad thing so I keep stopping it. Then I hear Vanya talking to me and she has a plan to try. I am supposed to remember my training classes from heavy atmosphere and how to remove the suit by the secondary controls. I am also supposed to think about shoving the goo away from me.
 
I start to hear a burbling sound and then I can feel air on my face. I must spit out some of the goo (aahhhaa, it was that hyper concentrated oxygen that is used on some of the heavy G worlds) and I try to get that lime taste out of my mouth. The burbling sounds gets louder and becomes a bit of a scream and then I hear the sound of an air lock popping open. I freeze. I hear another one and then several in quick succession and then I am sliding on the goo and out of the suit to plop on the floor. I am covered in this stuff. Who gets the cleaning bill?? Damn, it is so nice to have Vanya on my side.
 
I can hear So'Zen talking to someone, but I am still trying to get my bearings back. Then I see some of the armor starting to move out of the corner of my eye and also an archway appears. Inside the archway I can see Vanya, yet I can also see her in the corner of the room and Davish is trying to safely lower her to the ground. I rush over since I am positive that I can move faster than the armor - and let's face it, using my blasters early did not solve the problem. I take Vanya from him and start to get her settled while Davish leans past me and shoots those moving armor pieces. I hear them hit the other wall so at least they are farther away. Davish mentions that those pieces are made of starship metal so really strong. Yeah?
 
So'Zen re-enters the room and finally notices the archway with Vanya inside. Then a blue figure appears, speaks Corellian, and asks me what I want to learn today. I would prefer to leave that to the Jedi, but then he talks sense about using brute force to solve problems and that it is so much quicker than doing it the supposed 'right' way. He seems to want to start an argument between me and So'Zen or me and him or just me. I take as much of the talking as I can handle and then I tell him off and turn back to Vanya to check her vitals and see what Davish is thinking. Davish is also confused as to why he is being ignored until I mention that as a Crimson Knight he is the perfect balance of light and dark. This reminds him that he is gray in the force and invisible to some. I suggest he test that by getting behind Kraft and turning him off. Davish shrugs and heads that way while I do a vitals check on the two comatose. Danar is sweating, but otherwise the two of them are fine.
 
Davish then talks to us from behind the blue guy and tells us that the page is a hologram, but that he can feel something under the stones. I wonder if we should get the page, but Davish feels that we need to get Reece out first. I am not sure that Reece wants out of the armor! Davish says that is probably true, but we have to rescue him from himself anyway. We devise a plan. Davish will pull off the plate and at the same time So'Zen will TK the stone over the page. I will then shoot the two gaskets on the armor, and it should release Reece immediately. Davish asks ready and we all three take our actions within moments. The armor opens and Reece is not there. Kraft is surprised that So'Zen was able to TK both the stone and the armor plating and then disappears. I can see the holocron page, but I refuse to go near it.
 
Reece then stumbles out of the portal and is asking if I see those things in the portal. I agree that I do see them and give him the vital systems check on our two comatose party members. Reece begins medical scans - starting with me for some reason though I suggest that a brain scan on So'Zen would be smarter. Then Vanya wakes up and is herself and the portal quietly disappears. One of the Bo'mar monks enter the room and inquires if we need anything. So'Zen asks for a shielded box that seems to be for the tenochron flimsie. We start trying to figure out how to get it into the box and while we argue, Vanya picks it up, folds it, and puts it into the box. Vanya's buddies get us out and we head back to Port Etmarr.
 
We are met by a princess who I recognize by name as being part of Corellian history, Lady Cordelia Naismigh Vorkosigan. A two-time medal of valor winner, but one who has upset my Aunt too. I need to do some research to determine the details of how and why she got those medals. Should also probably call my Aunt for the dirt. She gives Kit Kat - who I thought was Reece?? and Danar a mission to go find some guy named Ivan. We have some time to relex, shower, find some entertainment, and get all refreshed before we start the next stage of the journey. I wonder if I have time to go look up my Wookie friend??
