Raine rustled her feathers in annoyance, "Nothing! I'm just worried, that's all... I can't shake this damn feeling that sends shivers up my spine... somethin's gonna happen, I can feel it in my claws..." She gave Doc a firm nip on the hood in disdain.

"Maybe its a sideaffect of having the stripes," Phoenix said. "And you might want to learn a bit of control for it."
(((Gotta go into work now, please puppet. Won't be back on until tonight.)))

"I'll take that into consideration," replied Ebony. She then looked over to where Tess was with Darcy, "but right now, I think someone wants to talk with me."

Tess was still chatting with Darcy when she saw Ebony come up. Darcy glanced over and moved aside for her, reading that she wanted this to be private.
"Raine, you only have to tell me in plain words." Doc sighed. "Anything else on this feeling?"
"I wonder what they're gonna think of us out there?" Dawn mused. "This is just gonna raise our profile."

As soon as she was sure that they had some privacy, Ebony spoke, "Tess? I caught that look. Do you want to tell me something? Is it important?"
~~~~~
"They're the Army," replied Jade, "I don't think they'll tell anybody unless their superiors want them to tell. I don't think Cole's very keen on having us exposed to the rest of the world so soon."

"Ebony, it's good to see you back...if you were noticing some, you know... anxiety... it's because some of our people are out looking for an Army convoy that was caught in a landslide." Tess informed Ebony. "Cole asked us a favor. The disaster wiped out the roads into and out of the area and that left only a high, narrow pass that cars couldn't use and the fog and the deep, narrow gorge were too dangerous for helicopters. I hear they just found the group, with several injured and two dead. I only hope there aren't any more casualties." She paused to address other matters. "So how was your trip? It was very good of you to help out Darcy."
"I just wonder when that's gonna be." Dawn pursed her lips. "Like, the videos have been out on their version of YouTube for weeks now."

Ebony pursed her lips. "Figures Cole would have a reason to get some of you involved with this. Now all we need now is the Army to know about your existence."
She closed her eyes then opened then again, "As for my trip, it went without a hitch and I found that I actually did have some money left over from the amount had given me over a year ago. I used that to pay for my new set of tires, Darcy's new paintjob, as well as two rooms at the local hotel to spend the night."
~~~~~
"Yeah, that's how some of these 'people' know about us now," replied Jade.

Raine sighed, "Do you ever get that gut feeling that something's going to happen? That's what it feels like."

"Things have been leaking out onto the net for weeks, where everyone and their housecat can see it." Tess sighed. "No way to stop that. Cole was good enough to set up the rendezvous away from the complex, anyway. Brett is an army guy, but keeps his mouth shut when he's away. They didn't learn anything from him because he's never mentioned it and they never thought to ask."
"It's coming..." Dawn looked back towards the horizon. "One way or another, it's coming."
"Gut feeling? Yeah." Doc nodded. "I get dozens of'em all the time. Big ones and small ones. I've just learned to prioritize."

((I told you you could puppet -_- I hate these shifts.))
Aron looked at Ronald and Sid approaching. "The Captain is the worst off Sid, you better start doing your magic on him. Well -" He paused, catching his error. "Heck, you know what I mean." He looked up at the gorge, it's width unchanged from the earth magic. "The helos can't make that."
"You don't need to move them to the spot where the helos can land." Cole said through the radio. "Like I said, we can drop a cradle to heave up. The wind is still from what Delfina did, so it is minimal risk operation." He looked up to Kathleen. "Thank you Kathleen." He said through the radio.

"The whole planet's gonna find out soon," said Ebony, "You can't keep hidden forever, you know."
~~~~~
"What is it? What's going to happen?" asked Jade, looking at Dawn.

"OK." Kathleen answered. "I think I see them coming now." There were two of them, a Chinook and a Sikorsky sky crane with a cradle.
On the ground, Sid got down to the business of stabilizing the Captain. It was pretty much what he'd worked out, with the fuel/energy distribution systems and all. The pack string had made it down to the gorge with the heavier tools and equipment, and fired off a couple of flares. The others attended to the other Humvee and helped to stabilize Clair's broken rear axle.
"We know that." Tess concurred. "We only hope by that time, they're over the shock."
"The whole circus. Newspeople and everything." Dawn said.

Delfina, still recovering, also heard the helicopters come in.
~~~~~
"That takes time," said Ebony, "And who knows what they're reactions are gonna be."
~~~~~
"Now that's going to be a lot of fun," Jade said dryly.

Aron never felt comfortable working on the cars in this world, having been attacked the first time, and though he had actually lost any recollection of what happened in the Rover, the stories about it had been successful letting him avoid being around the Rover. He saw the downed M35, so he took up a shovel and proceeded to dig around the cargo. Not as noble as saving lives.

Julian had finished with Claire for now, and went over to where Aron was. "Some of those boulders are pretty big. I don't think we can get him out by ourselves."
With the supplies from the pack string, they went further in the way of stabilizing the Humvees while the helos got into position.
Kathleen had moved aside to give the helos some room. You might want to find some cover, she warned Delfina.
"Believe me, I'm praying every night." Tess sat back against the bench.
"I hope they have some common sense." Dawn said. "At least as much as an eleven-year-old kid."
