Jahntu, the Minotaur beastman, groaned in pain as he ran ice cold water over his hands. Little Sister, the telepath looked over at him and said, "You could have just thrown that alien reptile attacker off the third floor mezzanine WITHOUT punching him several times." Obba Tkarro said over his shoulder to Jahntu, the sunlight glinting from his gold sunglasses, "I have ice-packs in the fridge if you need them! I'm just glad you and 399 know each other. We really need a plan to spring my family out of jail and get out of the city. Does anyone have ANY ideas?" 399, the Scav gestured toward Little Sister and said, "Look--in the excitement we overlooked something. You said you can ONLY locate people you had met, right?" Little Sister bobbled her her up and down, while trying to watch the news, and sip on her fruit-juice. "Yes, that's true. I don't know ANY of your friends except for Dokka and Dakk, both of which are in the same cell in the city central block!" 399 looked pained and said,"Your son is safe in Mirelle's airship, because he has no ANTENNA on. YOU have a Telepathic Antenna on. Can you locate your older sister, Tall White Lady? God, love those names!" Little Sister made a face at 399 and retorted, "Let me power up mu antenna. I turned it off to save battery power." Jahntu snorted his lager and coughed while laughing, "Oh my GOD! Battery powered telepaths!" Obba said with a smile, "Ah! You MUST be from out of town!" Little Sister closed her eyes and let her mind search the city. She went ridged and trembled as her breath caught. Jahntu rushed up to her and paused, not wanting to interrupt by touching her. 399 put down his drink, as did Obba. After a moment, she opened her eyes and tears spilled down her face. Jahntu took her drink and handed her the towel he had dried his hands on. Little Sister took a deep breath. "Here's the situation as I'm told it. Tall White Lady IS alive. She's been tortured for information, and presently alone. There's been...trouble. She's in Lady Narus's office on the underside of the city off of the City's Molecular Motion Induction engines that provide lift." Little Sister paused and swallowed. "Lady Narus is dead. Shot to death by a Deva repair woman, who shot a guard and was in turn shot to death. The guard is dead,too. She wants me to do something weird." 399 snapped, "Spit it out! What?" Little Sister blinked,"She does NOT want us running to her rescue! She wants me to call the police and have them put her in the same cell with Ahrini and General Chiboo!" 399 exclaimed,"She's INSANE! She must be in shock from what happened to her. We need to get moving!" Obba remarked, checking the city map, "It'd take us fifteen minutes to get there. It'd be riskier than hell,too!" Jahntu sighed, and said,"It'd take the police a minute. Is speed necessary?" Little Sister nodded. "She's slowly strangling from how she's hung up." Jahntu pointed to the front door of Obba's safe-house, "Get out and call the police. ASAP! I want her to LIVE! Go!" Little Sister didn't pause and ran out the door. Jahntu held up one of his bruised hands and said grimly, "We have to come up with a plan to get them ALL out of the Central Block! With Tall White Lady alive--we can relay through Little Sister to her, and maybe find allies who AREN'T arrested yet!" 399 kicked a table over and shouted, "SHIT! DAMMIT!" He clenched his fists and stood still. The silence in the room was filled by the still playing news, "...breaking news about an alien transmission from orbit to THIS city to the Squirrel derived Beastman only known as 'Jeet'. We'll keep you updated as the story evolves." Jahntu exclaimed,"Oh my god! The fate of the world depends on JEET?" 399 sighed,"We are SO screwed." --TO BE CONTINUED!!--
