Copperette regarded the ACHE pony - Seva. Seva was her name. She seemed to be a stable rock in the chaos, never panicking like Copperette did, always ready to help. And that she still found time to acknowledge her skill...

As she contemplated her situation, Copperette realized she was rather short on friends like that. And friends in general. Maybe Seva wasn't so bad after all...

"I'm Copperette," she said. She began to say something else...

Copperette. Seva registered the name. With the cybernetic earth pony breaking the conversation though, there was little else to be said in terms of pleasantries. At the very least Copperette seemed to be getting more comforting with them, which was the least the least the ACHE could ask for. Seva breifly eyed the pegasus going to help the kids, but their quiet assurance, combined with the pressure of the situation, leaned the ACHE towards not challenging the situation. After all, it's not like it was Swab's first time handling children, the pegasus could handle it. So, Seva just offered a nod and followed along behind Copperette and the mare.

Copperette smiled a little as Seva fell in with them. And then recalled a certain confusion, and decided to ask a most awkward question...

"Uhm... Are you a colt, or a filly?"

Seva had not quite anticipated the question, but considering how the unicorn didn't seem that familiar with ACHEs, and Seva's base form was androgynous, it was not unreasonable. They had no issue with educating the filly in a brief way.

""Neither. We are agender, and do not possess physical sexual definition,""
they stated matter-of-factly.

"You were looking for the hospital evacuees, yes? Then lets just grab the first three of those we come across and wish the rest the best of luck. We need off the planet, everyone on this ship is depending on it." Borealis finds the largest seat in the room and eases himself into it.

"Perhaps we won't need to visit that location. It's just one of the possibilities" - Emblem said in response to Degree's input. Although he turned first a bit of a scrutinizing eye towards him, he didn't find anything overly suspicious in his speech this time. One's bound to make some competition in this vast world. Failing to do so would mean not having accomplished anything important in life. The unicorn didn't unnecessarily press the issue, especially now that they were having rather open otpions. As Clean Cut decided to pay them a visit he added in concord with the others currently on the bridge - "Be it from the hospital or whatever other location, we're best off picking whoever we come across first. We can't have the luxury of picking the lives to be saved without further risking of the ones already on board. That seems like the the optimum for saving as many as possible in this situation."

The rest of the party arrives as Clean Cut nods. "You... make a good point. We should still try and make it to the evacuees, I promised at least a few of them passage off world. But if the situation gets any worse, we'll just grab who we can and go. No sense in risking the others. Is that acceptable?"

The bridge is quite crowded with the whole party there, but there's still ample space to maneuver. There's the black drake at the pilot's seat, the unicorn next to him inputting navigational data, the minotaur sitting tight, and the doctor standing to one side looking stressed but relieved that they're finally casting off. A tremor passes through the entire ship, and a humming sound comes through the metal hull - the hyperdrive is up, and finally the ship can lift off.

Golden Gears looks up to the ceiling of the ship. "Well, that sounds promising."

Degree grins broadly and grabs the controls, kicking the engine up and rocketing the ship skyward. There's no subtlety in his piloting, but it's skilled nonetheless - he's a professional, after all.

Degree flips on the PA and laughs, "And we're off! Enjoy the ride, kids!" As soon as the ship reaches a safe altitude above the city, he'll bring to the ship to a hover, where they can see most of the city from the bridge. "Alright, where to? The sky's the limit!"

The crowded bridge wasn't the uncomfortable zone for Belgond as it might have been for other members of the crew; Years spent working in crowded, chaotic workshops and engine rooms was surprising good training for dealing with crowds.

Making his way through the crowd to stand by Golden Gear's side, Belgond softly bumped his rump against hers in order to get her attention before he said with a surprising softness for anyone who had seen how much of his body was metal now "Hey. How are you holding up?"

Introductions with the rest of the crew and passagers could be made later, right now he needed to check up on those that he had been traveling with first and foremost.

Golden Gears smiles weakly. "As well as I could be about now. We're on a ship, we're in the air- couldn't complain."

The ship handles surprisingly well for a hospital ship - still very unwieldy compared to your old smuggler corvette, but at least it flies. Degree brings the ship to a hover a short distance above the bulk of the buildings, and the party can easily see the crowd surging below, trying to get onto the evacuation crafts as soon as possible. The crowd extends past the main docking area and building, spilling onto the streets. The black crystals seem to have slowed their growth, but they still inch along the streets, slowly eating up buildings, pavement, and vehicles. It'll still be a while until they break through to the main evacuation route, but with the amount of people there, it'll be a very close shave.

Gristle growls, "That's a big crowd. Where's them hospital people ya were talking about?"

Clean Cut points out a group of ponies around the outer edge of the crowd who seem to be them.

Copperette was wedged between Golden Gears and Seva, feeling a little uncomfortable on the bridge despite not actually touching either of them. She tried to wrap her mind around Seva's answer, and eventually failed.

"Uhm... What?" came her articulated response. "I don't... How?" she stammered, paying little attention to the crowd below them.

Taking a moment to lower his head, Belgond softly nuzzled Golden. While he hadn't actually lost anything in he destruction that had been unleashed on the settlement below, Golden had been there for sometime. It was hard to watch a world burn before your eyes and the worst was yet to come...

Looking towards Gristle for a moment and focusing on the patients that they had been discussing the pros and cons of trying to pick up ( He personally was in favour of trying), Belgond looked over at Clean Cut before asking "By any chance, does this ship have a teleporter or will we be forced to land to pick them up?"

Clean Cut nods. "Not the strongest hardware, but we do have a teleporter. Alright, Degree, could you bring us closer to the crowd? We'll want to lock onto three of our evacuees as quickly as we can and leaving. Ah... Seva, you're telepathic, right? Could you broadcast a message to the hospital evacuees about the situation?"

If the situation were not as dire as it was, Seva would not have minded trying to help with Copperette's confusion, but in the moment, they were needed with something more pressing.

""Please stand by while we attempt to establish contact,"" Seva stated as they made their way to the front of the bridge.

Standing by Degree, Seva surveyed the crowd, scanning and attempting to identity the hospital refugees specifically. The ACHE reached out with their mind – the antennae by their horn twitched as they attempted to identify the appropriate brainwaves to connect to and how to connect to them. When the process at last finished, the slight movements stopped.

<<Attention hospital evacuees, attention hospital evacuees,>> Seva signaled, trying to broadcast to all of them, <<This is ANC-47777 on board the HMS Onset Dawn. The crew is preparing to teleport who we can on board. Be advised that we can only bring on a few due to restrictions of the ship's capabilities. Please remain as separated and as still as possible while a teleport lock is established.>>

""The evacuees have been informed,"" Seva stated.

The ACHE did as they were asked. They were being useful. They ignored the stream of alerts coming in from their clearly malfunctioning damage detection systems as they informed the evacuees of the situation.

Emblem remarked in his mind that the other unicorn was swift to make promises. Something, which wasn't too great of an asset, considering the obvious implications of such. Clean Cut took more upon himself than he was able to carry. Nonetheless, the merchant's voice didn't betray signs of his feelings about the matter, as a more pressing one was at hand:

"I suppose so... if you indeed gave them your promise, then i guess they have as much right to be here as we do" - saying that, he glanced briefly at the drake and the minotaur.

The feeling of nervousness resurfaced as he witnessed the advancing crystal field again. For the safety of the ones below, Emblem hoped the rest of the rescue operation went smoothly. He was quite glad to hear of the presence of the teleportation device on board. If played right, that could greatly help in cutting down the time needed to deal with the crowds. He stayed silent afterwards, in order not to disrupt the ACHE at work. He took the time to try and see whether anything about what was actually attacking them could be discerned from this, airborne angle.

"Bring it in. Gotcha." Degree tugs lightly on the control column, easing the ship closer to the crowd. As much as he hates damaging any sort of hardware on ships - those are expensive damn it - he'd rather worry about patching the fuse up afterwards than be blown up by an angry sky-death-ship-thing. "A'ight, that's about as close as I can get without scraping the buildings. You do your thing, we should probably go as soon as you're done - the engine on this thing ain't build for planetary hover."

Borealis Emblem Degree Belgond Copperette Seva
For a terrifying moment the crowd seems to panic at Seva's announcement - a ripple passes through the mass of bodies, and many seem to exchange heated words. Arguments break out, however they quickly quiet down as the larger and more levelheaded individuals in the group break up the conflict. After some short discussion, Seva receives a message back, their sensors detecting a messaging implant from someone in the crowd.

<We're alright, it looks as though there will be enough space on the ships for most of us. Take these three - they'll probably need the most help. Or, be of help. Either way, get away from this planet as soon as you can. We appreciate everything you've done for us, now it's time for you to secure your own safety.>

The group parts a little, revealing a frail looking earth pony stallion, a unicorn mare, and a female griffon. <I'll leave introductions to themselves. Please, stay safe.>

Guided by Degree's careful piloting, the ship closes in on the group, and with a hum, the teleporters come online, locking onto the three individuals. "I'm beaming them up. Any last objections?" Clean Cut's hoof hovers over the interface, ready to begin the transmission process.

Emblem, during all this, takes a gander at the sky, but fails to penetrate the thick smoke and clouds to see more than what he already knows - some kind of massive structure is casting a shadow on the planet, firing down energy seemingly at random.

Roll perception, everyone.

Taking the knowledge that the ship had a teleporter on side, Belgond made a mental note to go and turn it off so that they could convert power to another part of the ship once the patients that they were planning to save had been teleported aboard.

Without any objections to the plan, Belgond remained silent as he took a moment to look out of the window, his enhancements already working to enhance his vision and clear away the obstructions that clouds would normally provide.

"Keeping the ship steady... alright, we should be good, lets nab 'em and get this over with." Degree eases the controls a little to bring the ship to a stop, hovering above the street.

Borealis Emblem Degree Belgond Copperette Seva
There is a whoosh sound from the teleporter room down the hallway from the ship, and the ship's capacity warning pops up, notifying three additional bio-signatures on board, and Clean Cut moves to investigate the newcomers - though not before saying, "Okay, Degree, kindly get us off this planet please. Any pony else interested in meeting our evacuees?"

Degree notices that, based on the ship's fuel levels and engine specs, the only available jump beacon in range is a refueling station designated Junction Beta-5, or Junction B5 for short.

Looking at Clean Cut, Belgond nodded his head as he stepped forward. "I would meet with them. At any rate, I wished to turn off the teleporter so we can put that power to better use elsewhere. I'm sure that our pilot would love our ship to be a little bit faster after all."

Taking a moment to look around at the gathered crew, Belgond took a moment to clear his throat before saying "To those of you who do not know me, my name is Belgond and I am a tech-priest. I am sure that I will get to know some of you during our time together and I will most likely be found somewhere in the engine room or simply making myself busy keeping making repairs and improving what I can. If you find something broken or feel that there is a system that could do with a tune up, please come and find either myself or the lovely Ms Golden Gears over there." A hoof was pointed towards Golden Gears.

With his introduction to the crew at large taken care of, Belgond moved to follow Clean Cut and head towards the teleporter. If anyone wanted to introduce themselves to him, they could come find him when he had more free time. Right now, he had some power that needed to be freed up for the good of the ship.

Seva eyed Belgond and Golden Gears. They were the technical specialists then. The ACHE made a quick note to request their assistance with running a diagnostic on themselves later. In the meantime though, Seva trotted up to Clean Cut's side.

""We are ready to administer assistance.""

"Alright then." Degree cracks his knuckles, tapping through the pre-jump sequence. As much as he wants to see who they picked up, he wants off the planet even more. Switching on the PA, Degree announces, "Going through pre-jump checks - we're locked on to the jump beacon of Junction B5, only beacon in range. It's a refueling station, maybe we can get some directions from there. Hold on to your lunches boys and girls!"

That said, he flips up the safety and jabs the jump button with a claw.
