[Taban Mei] My orders are to eliminate the source of the hallucinations, and Little Brother here seems to fit the bill. But Cribbage's on the M-T take and Sanchez (or Sung) may be under Psi Corps influence. I'm very aware of the weight of my side…
-
[Taban Mei] A weapon? "Sanchez, Cribbage, I see your bogey, I, uh—" In a blink, I see the fourth-dimensional rotation of the psi wall, turning a balloon inside out without popping it. It's like stretching the wall to be infinitely large for an in…
-
[Taban Mei] "Cribbage, it's coming from above. Sanchez, stay frosty." I pull up their cams on the HUD. I look down the stairs, peering carefully. I glance at Gaumata's work. Ze thinks so differently from Adenay. "Sung, you copy? We're about to mak…
-
[Taban Mei] A note of concern in my voice. "Like before? On the alien ship?" How much is Space Corps Command not telling me?
-
[Mei] I look at Sanchez, nod with my chin to the stairs. "Go. Do not close comms. Stay in visual contact with her." I stick with Gaumata. Nobody goes alone. Part of me wants to go with her. I watch her go. I'm the barrier. The mission depends on m…

[Taban Mei] Cora's acrid soundscents wash over me and I wish I could rub my head. I probably try, my padded gloves to the notglass of the helmet. I keep on my feet, though. A little wearily, I ask, "Sanchez, Gaumata?" I my mind's eye I see the bubb…

[OOC: 7+8 = 15 and again a trouble 1 for you, I think.]

[Mei] Love - d8 - Nobody is ever alone. I'm here, you. Communications - d6 - I suspected the emitter might not be a device. Let's talk to this brother. Alien-Enhanced-Psionic - d8 - Whatever the Core was, this entity knew it. Trigger - Connectio…

[Taban Mei] I break off and look at her, fast as lightning. My voice has an edge to it and I'm sure my eyes are big, blinking sudden moisture away. "Ksenia, do not pop your suit." I'm thinking about the Dauntless. How close I was to suit failure. K…
-
[Taban Mei] Almost as an aside, I say, "Sanchez, triple check those readings and report back to the Jane." I'm hesitant, but I stand still, feel apart, eyes closed, hands away from my body. I bite my lip. I know they're watching me. Do it, Mei! Yo…
-
[Taban Mei] She's so... Ksenia. I shake my head, admiring her fearlessness, her bravery. I make sure Sanchez is doing up the bigger lights, and I fall in. I'm sure Gaumata will follow. I radio back, "Stalker Jane, I'm leaving open a heartbeat pi…
-
[Taban Mei] I think, it's a stone in a river, the river flows around it. But give it a thousand years, or a tsunami, and the stone is lost. I say, "It's holding, Cribbage. But this thing is strong. The flex prevents it from breaking." I got it, Ks…
-
[Taban Mei] Wait... how can Church know? Of course it's that strong, Mei! it can reach out nineteen K-klicks! I don't have time to feel self-conscious about having a golden touch, or worry about what the rest of them think. The words touch me and …
-
[Taban Mei] I stand up, impressed despite myself with the finesse and power of that psi sending. "Uh, Stalker Jane, we are receiving a, a psionic sending. A greeting, be advised." I forget to close comms and say to myself, "Guess Mei's got the gold…
-
[Taban Mei] I kneel to investigate the tiling, running a gloved finger across the shapes. "Hard to tell on standard visual. Sung? Anything stand out?"
-
[Taban Mei] After I hear their report, I half shrug. I wasn't expecting anything, but instead hoping for something more obvious. "Gaumata, check other spectrums besides human visual. I'll check thermals for any patterns." I look over and Ksenia's g…
-
[Taban Mei] I've got my eyes closed, tensing and swaying with the psi waves, just holding my ground. My eyes snap open as Ksenia's voice and I make a startled noise. "I'm sorry Ks— Cribbage. The emitter is very strong here... It would be really bad…
-
[Taban Mei] I nod. "Aye, Ms. Cribbage." There are a lot of questions where that's her answer. Stay sharp, Mei.
-
[Taban Mei] I grin into the comm. "Obliged, Sergeant. Thanks, Ms. Lourdes. If we had two we could race." Wait, do we have two? Is he being a smartass or asking for permission? I'm fine with the latter, not so much the former. "Good to know, Sanche…
-
[Taban Mei] I say pleasantly, for conversation, "At least it's low gravity, Doctor. What's the most G you've ever pulled?" I feel their eyes look to me. It still tingles but I don't ruffle. I hail the ship. "Sung, can you push through a topographi…
-
[Taban Mei] It wasn't a big obstacle, but I feel warmer inside from Ksenia's approval. I try to hide a little grin, but my gait is pleased.
-
[Taban Mei] I keep my expression neutral as I listen to Sanchez and Gaumata report. I nod absently, thinking. Reevaluating. It's okay, Mei. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's your first mission and it's just a grav sledge. Once things are settled,…
-
[Taban Mei] A qualified success. Sanchez double-times to stow the gear, and I spot check a knot or two needlessly. I give him an approving thumbs-up, knowing everything's packed tight as a shipping container. Gaumata's provided me with a few plo…

[Mei] Working on the grav dischargers, I remember a Psi Corps mission that almost went horribly awry. There were six of us on a shuttle bound for Europa and the entire electrical system went dead. All the backups, all the tertiary backups. No power…

[Mei] Discovery - d10 - ...one giant leap for sledgekind. Engineer - d10 - As long as I don't outright break this, it's really just physics. Sanchez - Security d8 - Sometimes you need a grunt to do grunt work. Gaumata - Science d8 - Well, maybe th…

[Mei] My posture relaxes, my voice softens a little. "I have no doubt you could." I bite my lip and want to ask more. She seems in better spirits, I don't want to push her away. Focus, Mei!
-
[Mei] I watch her leap in the low gravity, just happy to see my friend do something superhuman. I open a private channel. It takes a beat or two for me to finally say, "I might lose that footrace, Ms. Cribbage." I can't believe it's truly a private…
