Knowhere IC

(OOC: posted on the network after the fighting has stopped when Bruce finally makes his way back to Knowhere.)

One of the alien ships took Steve. He was standing right there in front of me and I couldn't do a thing about it. I'm so sorry.

For everything. For all of it. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Now would be a time for The Collector to use chaos to kidnap you. Please let me know you are alive and free. Also, it would be wise to not be alone at this time.

I believe if any of the hostages are killed by the Troyjans or Ba-Bani, the humans will riot. It will be important for someone to keep them calm and inform them that a plan is being formulated and that no one will be hurt. Perhaps we should send the emp Mantis out to keep the humans emotionally sedated.

In a worst case scenario, if we are pressed for time, I would not be opposed to trading myself for some of the hostages. I imagine they will want to torture us for some time before they kill us and I cannot imagine they will do anything that I cannot handle.

If anyone needs me I'm in the medbay.

Are we going after them? I'd like my little brother back.

Everyone make sure to sign in on Cosmo's post. We're still trying to suss out who's missing and who's still around. Once we have a pretty good idea of what we're dealing with in regards to number of missing we can put together a plan or not on how we're going to get them back. Because I promise you we are getting them back. We just need to get some rest, get ready and make an actual plan. Maybe you guys are better at that than we historically have been.

I don't think those guys are going to hurt anyone. They don't have any beef with anyone other than us. It's a hostage play to get us to turn ourselves in for the people they kidnapped. We've got a little bit of time. They haven't even made demands yet. Try not to panic. Get some rest. Get patched up.

If anyone needs her, Mantis will be providing her empath abilities for anyone who needs it, including getting to sleep.

Anyone else feel like the universe has been handing us an actual army over the past couple months? And they like us! Not a single person made an outcry for us to hand ourselves in and they defended us when those stupid Troyjans attacked. We've got to get whoever they kidnapped back. We can't let them get away with taking our people like that. Yeah, our people. I think the Guardians of the Galaxy just got about 50 people bigger.

First you pissed me off by attacking a peaceful settlement.

But by taking prisoner one of my Companions, Rose Tyler, you've made a very dangerous enemy, indeed.

I am the Oncoming Storm, and you'll find out exactly why, if you don't turn over our people, immediately.

Hey. Uh. Sorry I missed the big fight. Or not missed so much as landed on you in the middle of it. But I'm not dead, so ... that's good?

I don't really know what's going on. They're saying I've got to stay in the infirmary for a while. And I get that, only I need to ask if another guy showed up here. Spiky blond hair, glowing eyes, might be pretty out of it. Answers to Cloud.

Are you all okay?

If you are and you're willing, I know there's some people in the marketplace who could use some help with cleanup after that fight.

Is it safe to come out yet?

[Tina Goldstein]
Tina, please tell me you're okay.
