* smiles again*







If you are comfortable with it we can ask.


I just haven't been a practicing paladin as I should for a while....guess you don't need to hear about that. Still I don't see why we can't ask for your healing. I'm not looking to my goodness. In the end it's all grace.


Still, I know I'm self condemning and He has already forgiven me. Mike straightens shoulders* It's high time I stopped with the self pity and failure and put my life back in his hands, go where I'm called and be a Paladin. If Shepherd Book can be a preacher while with Mal I think with the help I'm offered I should stand up to.
So, one of the gifts I was given...back when was a small healing gift, when He gave it. All I can do is ask of course.
Sorry...I realize it's hard to hear others problems and my losses aren't something I'd burden you with.


Let's go somewhere you can sit...I never know how long I'll be in prayer.


* sometime later Lacy notices that her wing no longer hurts. Mike has dropped into a nearby chair and again smiles at her.
So, lets go get something to eat, I'm starving.


Now to look at the rest of life...
Anyway, now that your wing is whole as soon as we get some rest it'll be time for butt kicking and finding out what's going on here and who's behind using this planet as a mutation experimenting zone. Well...you do butt kicking, maybe what I do will be "smiting" now. * grins*
Now...I'm starving and I'd bet you burned some energy as your wing healed to... I want a steak.




Lets get her back to sick bay...and strap her down. Tor has some trouble getting through to me without Lacy's help but it looks like her psyche is completely subdued. I didn't realize this could happen. Guess we'll have to see if we can rig a helm or something to shut input down till she can fight it off.
* They arrive at sickbay and Riddick straps Lacy down as Mike replaces the head gear. *


* Mike powers up connections and sees the red and green lines overlapped. He shuts the access to to Lay's brain down blocking all outside input. Tor whines and curls next to her as He misses their contact. Mike scratches his ears and comforts him. Tells Tor that as soon as Lacy can protect herself she'll be back *

I'm going to give her a mental stimulant and see if she can reassert her own personality.


If this doesn't work we'll have to knock her out....




Mike then get's back to his machine. Without Lacy's brain contact he can't reach the attacker...but with the remaining probe's readings and picture he knows just where on the planet he...or they are located.
In minutes Mike has armed and armored. He fit's Knight with the hyperKevlar suit he'd had the ship produce. With his heaviest weapons and extra ammunition he's in one of the planes and out of the ship before The Ranger or Arthur know he's leaving.
Riddick and Tor remain in a comma. *


Exiting the ship Mike sends out a call to all predators any where nearby. As he enters cave and steps over the remains of the first probe destroyed as it went in he sees motion ahead...and fire.
he finds an odd beast looking like a cross between a large snake and some kind of cat. he didn't know what to call it...but it was dead. *


The Beast that dominates Lacy hears the massive firefight going on in the next chamber. *


* Mike takes aim but several of the guards interpose themselves between their leader and Mike. Things look to be at a stand-off but then Mike smiles.
In only a few seconds everyone else can hear what Mike knew because his "friends" had alerted him....dozens of actual wolves and large cats, lions of several varieties, a few leopards and a couple of tigers crash into the cavern.
Mike walks through the carnage as the animals tear into the beasts and chaotic fighting spreads through the cave.
Mike clears the fighting and looks the beast in the eye and raises his weapon as if to give the beast a chance to surrender...and then fires sending a solid armor piercing round through the beast's brain.


Setting the computer to take over in case he passes out Mike launches for the ship. He makes a risky approach...enters the landing bay...lands a little hard and the plane skids into the wall doing some minor damage.
The Ranger and Arthur race to the plane finding Mike and Lacy unconscious and covered with blood...which turns out to be from the creatures and Mike. *




You awake...or do you plan to sleep all day? Things to do...time to get up...come on. Up and at 'em. * Mike speaks gently but encouragingly* Come on, you've worried your friends enough...


You weren't even here. Look, you can't blame yourself for what someone else did...What you need to do is get a good case of righteous anger that this was done to you, and done to your friends. Those creatures weren't behind all this anymore than a gun can shoot someone or a knife can stab someone...it has to handled, aimed. those creatures that are now feeding my friends were aimed at you...or us. You need to realize that blaming yourself is just what they'd want you to do.
So...don't blame yourself...lets kick some butts and take some names.
* Mike Hugs her and lets Tor jump down on top of her*


Either way I'd think you'd be a bit...peeved.
