"That so? Can you send him over, then?" asked Raven.
"We need everyone who's capable to come along," added Ebony.

A dark green Land Rover Discovery came down the road, from the same direction that Sarge had come from. As he passed by the scrapyard, Sarge called out to him.
"Hey! Cam!" He shouted. Cam immediately changed direction and entered, approaching Sarge.
"Yes, Sargeant?" He asked.
"These people are going on a small mission, searching for somebody who's been lost in this canyon. They don't know in what kind of place they may be hidden, so someone with your type of skill can be very useful to them. Are you up to it?" The jeep explained.
"Although I've been getting a good share of excitement over the past few days, I guess I could join in." Cam said. He turned towards the group to greet them. "Hello, everyone!"

Ebony smiled to Camran. "Hello, glad to have you with us."
Strip and Mike were already sorting out logistics and looking over a map. The kids were going back to camp with their counsellors telling them that this was perhaps not the best thing to write home about.
Darcy and Ondine were looking after the twins, along with Abby.

"After all the help this town's given me, I might as well repay the service." Cam replied to Ebony.
"Well, looks like I'm needed at the shop. Good Luck, Camran, I'll be seeing you tommorow." Sarge said.
"Thanks, Sarge." Cam replied.
The old Jeep nodded and drove out of the scrapyard. Cam turned back to Ebony.
"So, what's exactly going on? Sarge's description was kind of vague."

(((((OOC: I only have an hour, so this may be my only post for the day. Need major puppeting until I can come back tomorrow afternoon. Thanks.)))))
Ebony nodded, "Might as well lay it out to you." She turns to Raven, "Do you mind if I tell him what you really are?"
"It was bound to happen and I know that my secret doesn't last very long in this town," replied Raven.
"Alright, if you say so," said Ebony, then turns back to Cam, "The dark gray helo you see here is named Raven. He's not actually a real helo, but an alien lifeform that has taken the image of a helo to pass as one of this planet's locals. This other entity is one of Raven's species that has gone into suspended animation, or hibernation as we know it, because they have lost their power disc." She points to the shieldlike disc now sitting in the scrapyard, "Like that. Now, if that's been lost, the lifeforce doesn't last very long and the unfortunate entity would either die or go into hibernation to conserve the last of their energy reserves."
She turns back to Raven, "Did I get that right?"
"Just as right as you can get it," Raven nodded, "I sensed this entity's lifeforce somewhere in Carborator Canyon, where I suspect that they have taken refuge for the duration of their hibernation. When we find them, you'll find that Ebony is telling the truth about me being an alien, because that would be my true form."
"Why don't you switch forms when you're outside the perimeter of the town?" suggested Ebony.
"Good idea," agreed Raven, "That way, I'll be able to prove that I'm an alien."

"I would laugh and call this a big joke. But before yesterday, if you had told me that I can take a journey into my own mind and talk with the spirits of the dead, then I would've laughed too." Cam said plainly. "So I'm keeping an open mind for now."

"You should've seen how everyone reacted to me being an alien when I came here five years ago," said Raven, "They were all pretty much surprised about that revalation, but they all accepted me as I am now. I just prefer the helo disguise because I can still get around as I would if I was still in my true form."
(((((OOC: Gotta go now. Please puppet my characters. I so wish that I can get my new adapter soon. This has been hell for me, really... ^^;; Anyway, see everyone tomorrow. Bye.)))))

Sonya and Huracan finally came over to see the shield for themselves, and also wanted to join the expedition.
<<< Won't be able to do much today, Deadline Sunday and all that>>>

"You can change shape?" Cam replied to Raven. "Well, knowing how paranoid people get whenever they see something they don't recognize, I can see how that would be necessary. A few years ago in my country, a big deal was made when a couple photographed a strange, irregular object hovering against the night sky. Turns out it was a plastic bag being lifted by the wind."
He noticed Sony and Huracan approaching, and greeted them with a simple smile.
((The whole plastic bag thing = true story. XD))

"Yeah, I know things like that can mess with your mind and make you think that they're something that they're not," nodded Raven, "but I can change shape. I can be anything from your world too, not just a helicopter. I can also be a car, a wolfbike, a smalltrack kit, a forklift... Hehehe, once I messed with Luigi's mind a bit by pretending to be Guido. It was during this holiday called Halloween. Can't say that Luigi was amused, but it was fun. Learned a lot of colorful Italian words too."
He nodded as Sonya and Huracan came over.

Sonya smiled to Ebony and Raven. "We left Herculago with Darcy so he could play with the twins. Hope you don't mind." Then she became a little more somber. "Kamui and Slick are still in a funk. I wish I could do something for them, but so far, blindness is a hard thing to address."

Ebony smiled back, glad that the twins would, at least have a playmate close to their age, "I don't mind at all." Then she saw Sonya's more somber look. What could she do about Slick's blindness? She knew that was a terrible thing for a tuner to go through, and really hoped it didn't have to happen to her.
She thought for a few minutes, "Being blind is a bad thing for tuners, but maybe there's a way to get around Slick's blindness that will help him, at least, to function around town. I've heard of these things called curb feelers. Sheriff has them. What if those would work for Slick?"

"We could ask him to try them. That's all we could do." Sonya nodded.

"It's worth a shot isn't it?" asked Ebony, "Where is Slick and Kamui right now?"

"At the trailer," Sonya answered. "They haven't really come out since getting Hideki back."
