“Thanks, That’s sweet of you old girl, but not quite what I meant.” He smiled kindly, as if the ship could see him. “Hrm… I wonder, is this the origin of the phrase, ‘till all are one’?”
As they evacuate, they see the shuttle dart into the fog, with Zepar, Topside, Gronius, Redstocker, and Gronius still aboard.
@BlackBeltGamer98 Topside clings to the back of Zepar’s dragon form.
“I don’t mean to rush you,” he says," but this bird won’t be in the air for much longer."
The Savant’s AI does not answer.
“Don’t go quiet on me now old girl! Do you think you could learn to have opinions?”
Silence is Gatecrasher’s answer.
Alterion turned to his robot mode and landed on a big boulder, looking at the crashing shuttle.
The shuttle dives into the fog bank, briefly silhouetted against the green light from the canyon below, but quickly disappearing from view.
“Savant? You still there?” he asks, starting to sound worried. “Rev your engines for yes.”
The Savant’s engines do not rev, but the ship seemed to still be in working order. Maybe the AI was just done talking for now.
“Giving me the silent treatment are ya?” He said. “I guess it takes a lot of time and energy to learn a new language. I’ll come back tomorrow.” and he moves for the exit.
Zepar launched away from the shuttle, landing on the ground with a thud.
Outside, in hangar thirty-one, technicians study the Savant. This unassuming science vessel was built with technologies that put even Salvation, the most advanced ship built in the last hundred million years, to shame. At the back of the hangar was its massive aperture, leading to a view of Salvation’s flight deck and the mountains around the Fleetcarrier. Gatecrasher might also spy a few of our heroes gathered on a cliff.
Topside rolls off Zepar and onto the grey rock of the cliff.
“And that’s why I prefer to do my flying from the bridge,” he quips.
Flyby transforms and lands in a crouch nearby.
“Is this everyone?” he asks, looking up.
OOC: who?
OOC: Zepar, the Splitter brothers, Delta, Wildsong, Alterion, Flyby, and Topside. There are a few more outside, but I’m not sure they can be seen right now.
IC: A flock of techno-organic birds flies between the peaks, following Salvation before veering off and disappearing.

“My It’s beautiful here” He says to no one in particular. He notices several people up on a cliff. He transforms into his plane to go and investigate.
He would see Wildsong in her dragon mode, exploring the layout.
Zepar sprawled out on the ground, exhausted.
“Seriously, was that everybody?” Flyby repeats.
“Oh! hey Wildsong!”
“Need some help?”
“I hope so.” Zepar said tiredly as he accepted help from (ProfSrJohn’s character).
Wildsong turned her dragon head to him.
“Oh, hey there!”
