Description
The SNARE ended with a snap as Snowflake woke up in the shuttle with Neblae,Jin,Dr. Panchetta and Captain Tkarro. She got up and said, "Captain, Measure reports that has the Asuran Battle-ship and is mopping up stragglers, but needs help. Also..."
Dokka Tkarro asked tensely, "Where is Toxic?"
Snowflake blinked in shock. "I don't KNOW!"
The ship fire alarm went off, "Fire detected in cabin two on level two!"
Neblae shouted, "It's SUNSHINE!" Snowflake shot out of the room like a sprinter. Captain Tkarro snapped, "Neblae, Jin! Stay with Toxic's body!" He and Aldus Panchetta chased after Snowflake.
Commander Rose stopped them at the door of the cabin. She said quietly, "My daughter, Sunshine caused her bedclothes to combust. Lime got her into the shower before any harm was done. She's getting dressed. One moment." She closed the door.
Aldus and Dokka waited for a couple of minutes, fending off questions from concerned crew-mates. When the door reopened, Rose said, "Dokka and Dr. Panchetta inside, only."
She went over and knelt down nest to her daughter. Snowflake was across the sofa from her shaking her head. When Sunshine turned around, her arms crossed in front of her, Dokka was shocked speechless.
Aldus Panchetta laughed uproariously and fell into the remote access terminal chair and kicked his feet.
Rose crossed her arms in anger and asked, "DOCTOR! I do not find this circumstance funny AT ALL!"
Sunny shouted, "I LOOK LIKE A TIE-DIED TEE-SHIRT! Toxic is here but can't do anything! I sneaked into the Four Sisters SNARE thing, but COME ON!"
Aldus gasped, "Oh, this is FANTASTIC!"
Lime sighed from the sofa, "I just woke up. My head hurts. WHY is Toxic in my sister, again?"
Dokka turned to Aldus and growled, "Doctor! This is NO time for hilarity!"
ALdus said with his eyes sparkling, "I MUST disagree! This is the first time we have a lead on how to fix this complicated problem!"
Everyone blinked and stared at him. Now Dokka had an idea what Narchi warned him about Doctor Panchetta before. The man WAS a genius and like to make sure everyone else knew it,too.
Dokka took a deep breath and asked, "What do you mean?"
Aldus looked over at the rainbow colored Sunshine and said, "Snowflake with Toxic's spirit, with Sunshine in tow, entered the virtual world of the SNARE. Toxic, spirit or NOT,--IS A MEMBER of the Four Sisters Weapon system! Sunshine is NOT! Everyone in the SNARE had a forerunner artifact attached, and was a member of the Four Sisters. EXCEPT SUNSHINE. She didn't have one of these 'Hypermatter artifacts' inside them."
"Toxic needed to be re-embodied, and Sunshine was the default candidate! It's simple!"
Rose asked, "So if we take Toxic's body, Sunshine, and the rest back into the SNARE, Toxic should go back into Toxic's original body? That's the default thing to do with dis-embodied drift-ware spirits, in your opinion?"
Snowflake shrugged, "If it'll get Toxic back to where she belongs, I'm all for it. This has been really tense and stressful for everyone involved. I'm worn out. Literally." Snowflake sagged and went to her knees behind the sofa.
Rose jumped up and she leaped over the sofa with shocking ease and gathered her niece up. After a moment, she said as she rounded the sofa, laying Snowflake down on it, "She's dangerously low on power. She needs sleep and regeneration before she does ANYTHING else in the SNARE."
Aldus waved a hand and said, "Neblae is a Four Sisters member.She should be all needed, I'd think. It should be a relatively quick thing, I'd wager. We should be about it now. Fortune favors the bold, after all!"
He jumped up and looked at Dokka with eager eyes. Dokka looked over at Rose.
Rose shrugged. She growled, "Let's be through with this ASAP!"
Dokka nodded. "Agreed."
Topside, 518's drop-ship docked with the shuttle.

That Aldus could get on a person's nerves. Fortunate he makes up for it by being brillant. I find the bottom part of his costume a little distracting, but a great render, and you are Alduslike in your story.(Brillant not nerveracking)
