Nekbet's tail swished the air as she danced the universal dance and went,"Oooooh! I gotta PEE! My lady--if they keep the city locked up for another four or five minutes, I'll hoist my rump over that parapet and pee on some flying city property!" Queen Glorianna laughed, "Here comes the saviors of your precious bladder, my felinoid friend! Heavens! That ancient air vehicle must be five hundred years old!" Nekbet looked and asked carefully, "Is that a DRAGON landing on our aircar? God! Please don't let me get frightened! The bladder detonation might overcome you!" A young human woman pelted out of the ancient air-ambulance and shouted at the dragon-like creature,"PRINCE! DOWN! GET DOWN! You big goofball! That belongs to someone! You want'em to shoot ya?" The armored Meshite ran to catch the woman, his short legs pumping for all they were worth. He shouted, "Pelza! Take it easy! You'll bust a blood-vessel!" Pelza said over her shoulder,"Ganz, I thought he'd obey me! Now this!" Ganz said, "Between a nuclear explosion and watching flying city one crash to the ground, he's shook up! Hell! I know I am!" A small-boned Duergar woman with delicate features and ancient green armor strolled up to Queen Glorianna and the Lady Nekbet and said loudly,"YO! What's up, ladies? Some fireworks,eh? So is the light-show from that building across the city, the reason eveything is locked down?" Glorianna whispered to Nekbet, "Best behavior, and follow my lead." Nekbet snapped a left-handed salute and mumbled,"Yo-kay." Glorianna said,"I am Queen Glorianna of the Sidhe, and I have been separated from the rest of my group, behind this blast-door! I would bestow a great favor to anyone who could open it!" The small green woman bowed and said,"I am Jiri, a Duergar technician. Gimme a sec while I do me magic! Think you could wrangle me a good dress like yours and maybe a title or something?" Jiri spent a sweating moment with her patch-tool plugged into the data leads to the door. She then jammed a screwdriver into the plug, causing a loud 'POP' and a spark. She jimmied the deactivated doors with the driver and slid them open. "There ya go, wenches! I mean your high Queeniosity and hugging-buddy!" Nekbet sprinted to the bathroom as Queen Glorianna patted Jiri on the shoulder, saying,"I believe I can wrangle something for you, Jiri." Jiri smiled, "Cool! Now I gotta rescue Narchi from them crazy women that dragged him off!" --TO BE CONTINUED!--
