Ashi noticed the slower pace, but didn't mind. They weren't going to leave him behind, especially if the grenade didn't work and that thing was still alive. She wasn't able to see the scene of the crime, but she saw what that creature could do. Instead, she grabbed the dataslate with her one good hand, scanning through the contacts and pinged Rosalind.
Rosalind, meanwhile, had been dead asleep. She got a few hours, and already it had done wonders for her body. She had no time to marvel at how much a little bit of sleep could do, however, as her dataslate was screeching some emergency message at her. She rubbed her eyes, blinking for a moment at the small light that was now blinking red. She'd wired her dataslate to pick up distress signals from just about everywhere, if only because half of the time she followed a distress signal, she could get some sort of loot and cipher any fuel she could. At one point in her life, she would have been surprised at one of these distress signals coming from one of her contacts. It was Hyun.
Or, to be more precise, it was the out breath princess who was parading around as Hyun's girlfriend, “We need your help. Please tell me you're still planetside.”
“Ay, that we are,” a sleepy-sounding Rosalind murmured to the very relieved blue-haired one. “What is it that you're needin'?”
“A fast retreat. We're making our way to the ship as we speak, two wounded, one may be critical. Just, have the doors open and be ready for a quick take off. If there's a cloaking mechanism, make sure you have that up and ready as well,” Ashi said, casting a worried glance at Shaldag.
“That's all right and good, we'll be ready,” Rosalind said, hanging up to ensure that they were. She burst from her bedroom, making sure first to open the doors, “Ay! Anyone listenin'! Prepare for take off! Can I get a 'ead count?!”
Fikri stopped what he was doing and came out to see a wide awake Rosalind already in the cockpit and firing up the engine.
