But the best way is to remember that this is a world filled with injustice. You have to be prepared to act in order to protect the people who matter the most to you. And when you've been wronged, it's important to make sure that no one else feels that pain again.
You're on your way now - don't lose sight of the goal. Your next mission is to arrive at the ruins and make the choice in the cathedral.
There's a compartment to your right on the second floor of the ship: take something with you.
[for now there doesn't appear to be anyone chasing after the - so they're free to set the ship to fly toward the coordinates already set, and see what's going on upstairs!]
[Sakyou's just sort of leveling a quiet look outside these swanky second floor windows into the sky as the staticy voice speaks, apparently respectful enough to not talk over it. Judging by the look on his face, he completely agrees with the words spoken, too.
Beyond the soft understanding, there's a flicker of steeled determination - bone-deep and true. When you've been wronged, it's important to make sure that no one else feels that pain. In a world filled with injustice, what more can one do?]
...Never again.
[This said softly more to himself than Sieghart. ANYWAY NO ONE FCKIN TOLD HIM THERE ARE INJURIES IN THIS GROUP, YA PUNKS. HELP. To Sieg, first, with a little nod:] I'm glad you've all made it safely, then. The alarm was worrying... [AND CALLING DOWN TO THE FIRST FLOOR SQUAD:]
The coordinates for the ruins are set; the ship will take it from there.
[ That's... not what he had been expecting. But he can't quite get into a debate about justice with a disembodied voice. He patches Catra's leg up the best that he can, startling when he hears a familiar voice. ]
Sakyou...?
[ He doesn't mind abandoning the first floor for a moment, and he'll help Catra up the ladder so that they can join the party.
[Sieghart watches Sakyou until the end of the voice's answer, after which he scans the floor before turning to Claude and Catra. Without moving from his spot by the opening to the ladder, he angles his head to the right.]
. . . The reunion's good and all, but someone needs to check the compartment. Who's going?
[WHO IS THAT DISEMBODIED VOICE TALKING TO. . .? Catra would have Words again, but she's too stunned by Sakyou's general presence to like. . . digest what the voice is saying. she pulls herself up to put the airship on autopilot before allowing Claude to help her up the ladder! and once she is close enough to do so?]
[she marches (limps) towards Sakyou and punches him in the shoulder]
[HE'S JUST LOOKING like increasingly baffled by these responses... He looks like he's about to address Claude first but then?! Catra just??? COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH GREAT INTENTION TO PUNCH HIM. Owie. It's a solid connect because he apparently did not anticipate that, but he does take a step back after, glancing between the three with some mild indignation coloring the confusion.]
As much as I appreciate the-- concern... [IS THAT WHAT THIS IS???] -I wasn't the one in a dangerous position. If you'd please; we'll be arriving before you know it and we must stay on task.
[FOCUS DIPLOMAT CLOWNS FOCUS. He starts moving toward the compartment, but someone else will have to actually get there because he's briefly distracted by CATRA'S LEGGY.]
—Injuries after all? [PLEASE.] Have you secured it as well as possible? I'm sorry, but there won't be time for proper treatment just yet.
[While Sakyou addresses Catra and Claude wanders over to the compartment, Sieghart stands very still. Now that the adrenaline of fleeing the hangar has run its course and he's no longer occupied by conversation, his skin is starting to become clammy. His grip around the hilt of his sword tightens and he closes his eyes, breathing out, barely able to register the words being said by the others over the sound of his own palpitations.]
What do you mean you weren't in a dangerous position? How many times did you get shot!!
[she wants to KEEP FUSSING, but. . . her leggy. . . it bleedy. so she'll prop herself up against the wall and let Sakyou do his thing while Claude opens up the compartment. though. . . out of the corners of her vision--]
[THIS GROUP IS A DINGDANG MESS. Sakyou's absolutely looking at Catra with open confusion at that, though.]
I should be asking you that. You were the ones they fired on out there.
[He has none bullet holes as they can see, while Catra has bleeding leggy. Then, to Claude:] "Yet" as in, we aren't out of the woods until the mission is complete.
[That said, when he's done looking over Catra's injury to make sure it's not Critical, he will make his way to the compartment of neat toys. He's absolutely taking gun unless he's stopped or someone else grabs it while he's looking over at leggy... Then back to Catra's side he goes, but he's distracted by SIEG. EVERYONE'S HAVING A BAD TIME HERE. HE'S LOOKING BETWEEN THE TWO LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. To the other two, since Catra's addressing him directly:]
[ Claude is just going to pocket the smokebomb for himself, conveniently not noticing that Sieghart is near death until he's already made his choice. ]
Okay, it looks like— What's the matter with him?
[ He'll wander over, carefully looking at Sieghart's collar to check if he's been poisoned at all. ]
When he feels Claude's presence nearby, his eyes flutter open and dart frantically side to side before shutting closed again. He's no longer clammy, but full on sweating. His knees buckle and he quickly rights himself to turn away from the group.
There isn't anything off about his neck or the collar.]
[buddy. bro. pally. bud. you don't look okay, and Catra squints at him as she pushes herself back to her feet to limp around. her leggy still hurts but it's bleeding less due to FIRST AID so she can move towards the compartment and grab. idk. the pocketwatch]
[she also picks up the syringe but that is for Sieghart]
Since you did it within one tag round, amazing wonderful, you get a treat - and that treat is that instead of just being suddenly attacked because you weren't paying attention, the clouds on the rear side of the window panes will part. It seems that another airship is following, and it's orienting itself so that it can attack.
As a reminder of your inventory, you have the items you just took as well as: - Gatling Gun - 2 Parachutes and only 2
A look at the navigation will reveal that you are not yet at the destination, but you're getting closer since Claude hit the Boost button. You wanna try to hit another one?
[Oh boy just what he wanted A THIRD THING TO WORRY ABOUT!!
Sakyou's attention snaps to the window the second the clouds start to shift, and he doesn't look at all surprised to see another airship appearing. THEY ARE ON THE RUN. Clowns on the run... With a soft curse under his breath:]
Get ready—! We can't allow them to claim victory, not here!! The ship is armed--
[With BOMB. And also FREEZE. And also their gatling gun that's trapped on the first floor... But so sweet Sieg isn't entirely abandoned when Claude blows us all up, he'll run over to him.]
I'll handle this.
[HE'LL HANDLE SIEG?? It's fine he's just kind of corralling him back from the windows most likely to get taken out first.]
[Sieghart drags his feet. He doesn't want to be up here! He wants to go downstairs, where it's just a little closer to the ground! So he opens his eyes (HNNNG) just long enough to locate and reach for the ladder.]
[oh my gooood they're being followed? Catra lets out a low snarl in the back of her throat before she too scrambles (LIMPS) towards the ladder to make her way down. with. . . great difficulty, but hey, she's trying]
Hey, Claude! You've got weapons, right? I'll do the fancy flying!
[SHE WILL DO HER BEST TO DODGE WHILE CLAUDE HITS BOMB]
[Fancy flying while also trying to launch a bomb is an interesting combination. Doing both at the same time admittedly does release a bomb in the direction of the other airship - it's similar to a cannonball, soaring through the air. The other ship was just barely able to get into position time however, and fires a round of bullets in the direction of the bomb - resulting to an impact midair.
Hopefully Sieg doesn't get airsick as well, because the resulting explosion makes their airship rock a little bit. The other airship takes more of the damage from the bomb, but it nonetheless shoots one more rocket at them, trying to knock them right out of the sky. Claude won't be able to deploy another weapon, however - it seems like the system's fried after two shots, overheating. Maybe you should've taken the airship that Impey wanted you on? It sounded fancier.
I'm going to need Catra to roll on her fancy flying. :) ]
[SIEG YOU BINCH JUST ACCEPT HELP says no one in this group full of people who don't accept help, probably.
Anyway this tag is largely useless, Sakyou will seat himself at the top of the ladder so he can get the view through the full spread of windows on the second floor as everyone else is currently on the first. They've got the navigation and now-defunct weapons systems covered, so he's just keeping an eye on the movement of the ENEMY AIRSHIP.]
[He's just reached the base of the ladder, his feet firmly on the first floor, when the explosion rocks airship. The more rational part of him hangs tightly onto the ladder in order to avoid falling over, and the irrationally fearful part of him decides that it's best if he stays where he is. Something to grab onto is good.
Jumping and crashing are both bad, but in line with their luck.
As much as he'd love to help, he's literally paralyzed by fear.]
[Catra is ignoring most everything else happening in this ship in an attempt to maneuver the thing out of the line of fire! don't blow us up, please! she's doing her best!!]
The other airship is slowly falling out of the sky, but the downside of this roll means that the missile they launched manages to rip right through the upper half of the deck that they were on. They aren't immediately destroyed by the missile, but it does mean that their floor suddenly faces a lot of destruction as it's separated from the air balloon portion of the airship.
