==> both Joan's fail at being sneaky
Somehow both your future self and present self managed to set off alarms on both ships simultaneously. Future you just disappeared using the time widgets and decided to stop procrastinating. Now future you went back and cut off noir's ring finger.

Present you was not so fortunate to have time widgets. Trolls and drones were searching the ship trying to find any trace of you. But you disappeared into one of the many service corridors. You are safe but you forgot about that one damned motion sensor placed above the door into the Mechanik's room. Time to respond to Tia.

Pester log :

Looks like Kyle is about not let this mistake be unknown.

Pester log:

You stay sitting in the service corridor since all of the service hatches are closed. You hope that Kyle will be able to get you out soon.

Worry abou7 Joan <==> Hate flirt with Asiiaq

Troppo stared at Tiamat's message.

She knew he was locked up and his brain was not working right, yet she still told him that the girl he pitied had put herself danger in a misguided attempt to rescue him.

Gog, he was thankful for the news, but he hated Tiamat so much for delivering them.

Why didn't she keep Joan for doing something so stupid?

Pesterlog Wrote:

He sat in his cell, divided.

Half of him was worried sick about Joan and wondered if she was alright. The other half was busy thinking about all the ways he would make Tiamat pay for not breaking his tiaratop before the factory reset.

"Or for breaking it at all," his Crocker half whispered.

==>Lars: Be useful

Lars failed and just sat there on the ground as the carpacians around him sparred or just talked. So he decided to talk with people. He didn't do that for quite some while.

Pesterlog:

Lars sighed and got up, stopping the insane carpacian. He noticed that it's the same one that stole someone's rifle. He pointed him towards the nearest war party and then took the phone again, unsure who to message. Hm... perhaps he could make this work over pesterchum as well. He has to be subtle though.

Pesterlog:

As he wrote this, the green light appeared around him again, but he didn't send it into the phone yet. He neeses the right time and actually see what's going on.

[temporaryAbsent]

==> Start arguing with the other troll

Tiamat didn’t see any drones or trolls and the spaceship didn’t move. It was the silent before the storm, but she had her problems. She wondered if it was good idea to tell Troppo about Joan’s mission.

Chatlog wrote:

She read through Joan’s messages too, copied them into a new memo and she was ready to look for the only other present member of the team.

==> Notice drones

Tiamat closed her techlet and saw drones approaching, but the spaceship still was in place. Probably they were looking for Joan.

She flew to Lars with the news.
‘Drones are coming!!!!!!!!.’ Then she noticed the green light. ‘1 hope it means you have a plan. 1’ll hold the attacks back with carpacians.’

Answer Lars <==> Answer 7iama7

Troppo decided to answer Lars first. He hopped to anger Tiamat by making her wait.

Pesterlog Wrote:

The tension in kismesissitude relies not only on hatred and annoyance of ones more irksome aspects, but also a level of admiration for their more positive aspects. Troppo would never admit it, but he was thankful at least one of them remembered that his powers could be of use to Joan.

Pesterlog Wrote:

Next he tried to give Joan's a boost, but found it impossible since he had no idea where she was and there was a reasonable distance between them.

Troppo sighed and sent her a message.

Pesterlog Wrote:

So sappy, but whatever. Now there wasn't much to do besides waiting.

[temporaryAbsent]

==> Respond

Tiamat can't do that, because she is busy fighting drones with a team of carpacians.
As she counted, there were at least two hundred of them, so it couldn't have been the main wave of the attack.
She fought them slower without her trusty spear, but she managed fair enough. She was a bit deconcentrated too, as she tried to keep an eye on the ship, hoping to see the red of Joan.
Also, she looked out for her moirail too, and hoped his plan was something at least Sgrub level of sane.

[Breeso]

==>Lars: continue talking

"actually tia, i've ran outta plans five hours ago, now i'n working on pure instinct." Lars said, keeping himself behinf the lines while the others fought. This is hard, he needs to concentrate on Troppo's thoughts to even try and get rid of the Crocker half.

Pesterlog:

Just as he was writing that, a lost drone shot him in the arm and Lars dropped his phone. With several curses and a whip aimed at the droid, he destroyed it easily. "i don't think i can do this during a battle, tia! we'll have to leave it up to joan. i will help fighting in here." he said as he attacked more drones, his metallic whip changing length and wrapping around the drones, throwing them into other drones. But he could really feel that he won't be able to keep this up for long because of his exhaustion. Also, he still felt the shot in his chest and arm and it hurt.

[timesrowKilling]

==>Escape
You first message Troppo back. After all you are in love with him.

Pester log:

You smile after sending those messages. So cheesy and mushy. Now is not the time for sentiment a troll just found you and the recently opened hatch to the out side.

You stand ready to strife but the troll only seems interested in running away. You use your chain and wrap it's legs up the thorns on the chain making it harder for the troll to escape. You know that you can't release the troll back into the ship. So you captchalog it and it is now locked away.

Then you wipe your chain off and go through the hatch and leave the ship. Just as the Mechanik begins to roar.

You fly fast towards the battle field chain and icepick in hand ready to strike down some drones.

[temporaryAbsent]

==> Ask for Joan’s help

Tiamat saw the drone, but wasn’t fast enough to reach either the attacker or her moirail. She noticed the approaching Time hero too.
‘Joan, get Lars out of here, he can’t fight if he is injured!!!!!!!!’ She shouted at her, running to the boy.

==> Get your own injury

While Tiamat tried to reach Lars, a drone appeared beside her. She leaped out of the attack’s way, but only with a moment of being late. The drone’s arm cut her left side, and instantly, violet started to spear around the wound.
She destroyed her attacker and continued to fight the hostile forces.

==> Black Queen, appear

The Queen of Derse entered the battle, sneaking in shadows and getting into fights only when she had to. She arrived to the Loud Lady’s side and knocked her back. When she turned, after blocking an attack and destroying the drone with a counterattack, she explained with signals that she is ready to fight if her ring is given back to her. .
Tiamat declined the offer.
‘1 need it as a proof of your good will.’
The Queen left and after a few minutes she returned to the troll, holding the King’s scepter.

==> Tiamat, accept the exchange

She did, capchalouging the scepter and giving the ring to it’s previous owner. She watched as the Queen attacked the enemies who came to destroy her monarchy.

[Breeso]

==>Lars: Think quickly

Atfer managing to calm things down around him, he looked around. The carpacians had poor skills and weapons compared to the Condesce's army's, but they still outnumbered the enemy forces. Or so it seemed so far. If only they had more troops, perhaps the situation would look better. Perhaps Prospit will send some more reinforcements? Lars doubted it. He turned around and ran back, stepping accidentaly on his phone. "oh for fuck's sake i hate this all so much, i just want my fedora back!" he muttered, but didn't stop to examine the damage done to his device. Next thing he saw was the Black Queen, to put it accurately, wrecking through the enemies left and right. "alright, something there went wrong but also a bit right." he said and stumbled on debris of some drones, falling down and breaking his nose.

[timesrowKilling]

==> Joan get Lars out of here
You are destroying drones left and right on your way through the battlefield. You make it closer to Lars and see that most of the drones here were destroyed. Then a loud roar from the Mechanik rings through the battlefield making everyone turn to look at the ship. Damn he's loud especially if he can scream from up there and have it reach down on Derse. Everyone returns to fighting very quickly, taking that short amount of time to give the other army an edge.

Thats not the worst problem looks like the ship got out of lockdown and trolls are coming down to fight. You hurry up towards Lars and see that his nose is broken. " lets get you out of here Lars." you pick hip up bridal style and seem to have no problem carrying him.

The first wave of trolls lands just as you are nearing the palace of derse." Lars, Joan will need you to give her support. Can you do that?" you look at Lars who is still in your arms bleeding from the nose. Trolls begin to surround you both. So You don't even wait for an answer and set him down your chain and one of your many razors at the ready. This will be bad... For them.

[temporaryAbsent]

==> Be amazed

As the Black Queen took back her Ring and pulled it on she transformed into something terrifying and a bit absurd. Tiamat had the urge to laugh as much as she wondered how strong an ally she is.

==> Enough of that, look for the Prospitian messenger

She started to look for her, as she fought drones and the newly appeared trolls, when she heard the Mechanik. It sounded as he still was on the spaceship, so she wasn't really worried for now.

As she looked for the white carpacian, she saw Joan surrounded by trolls for a moment. Tiamat had a half thought to help her, but then she saw her expression and continued her search.

She noticed the little white figure near to one of Derse house as she fought a drone alone. Tiamat threw her spear straight into the enemy's back, then hurried after her weapon.

'Go and tell the Prospitian army that they either come here and help Derse, or they'll end up dead, because we won't fight the Condense when she heads for them!!!!!!!!' She commanded the carpacian, who nodded rapidly, and ran off. With that done Tiamat returned to the battle.
