"Where did they GO? Dammit!" Jin sipped on the cup of hot jolla and paced clumsily in the boots she found in one of the drawers in the shuttle. Neblae shrugged and finished the last power test. "Don't know. 518 SHOULD have found Toxic by now, and Neon SHOULD have found Doctor Aran by now. I got the rectifiers installed at least with your help, at least. Glad you're cured of Blight." "God! These boots are killing me! It's been ten years since I wore shoes and AHHHHHHHH!--" Neblae had turned to get a tool from the kit near Jin when she saw Jin trip and spill the steaming hot jolla toward the high-voltage panel in the floor. Neblae had removed the panel to power up the proto-type Relative Inertial Generator. If the hot jolla hit that live power connection, they'd both die in the resulting explosion of star-hot plasma. She reacted by thrusting her hand at the flying fluid. It simply stopped falling. Period. It floated and steamed in mid-air. Jin stared at it and glanced over at Neblae. "H-how are you--" With strain and fear in her voice, Neblae said carefully, "Tip the cup UPRIGHT and gather the fluid up! If it shorts that panel WE WILL DIE!" Jin carefully and quickly gathered up the jolla back into the cup and sat down shaking on the bunk bed. Neblae rushed over and grabbed up the hydrospanner and slammed the panel back down to the deck-plates and sealed it up. Jin asked quietly, "How did you do that? I've NEVER seen ANYTHING like that!" Neblae shrugged. "You saw that weird alien jewel bind to my stomach. It must be the instrumentality that does it." Jin narrowed her eye. "WHERE did you get it?" Neblae thought hard about telling her the truth. She didn't really know Jin and couldn't take the chance to trust her. Neblae shrugged. "It was in the belt I got from woman that died in the wreck. Her name was Neblae. She didn't want to die unknown, and she wanted me to continue her work." "Her work?" Jin sipped the regathered jolla and stared at Neblae hard. Neon ran up and shouted, "SHE'S GONE! A BOUNTY HUNTER GRABBED TOXIC!" Jin shouted, "WHAT?" She spilled the jolla on the bed this time and both she and Neblae didn't notice as they ran after Neon to find out more. --TO BE CONTINUED!-- Media is Poser 6, Modelled in Wings3D
