Thomas<br/>He let out a slow breath, "Um... Yeah. That-ah that's me."<br/>A quick scan of the area said things weren't going well. One of the Zoo Crew members was on the floor unconscious, another took a vicious attack that made him cringe just watching it. Another was trying to talk Shae into joining the fray.<br/>He swallowed, he couldn't just leave his sister to fight this thing without her, "I can help."<br/>His words were brave but he wasn't, there was a ball of ice in he pit of his stomach. He pulled out the machine from his bag, "Keep him off me for a few minutes, I can make this into something useful...

He did his best to breath, he wouldn't be any help until he recovered but sweet mother of god was that proving to be an issue. He'd been hurt worse but that didn't mean he was used to it.<br/>He silently cursed himself for getting into the situation, it'd been stupid to let his tail get grabbed and he knew it. He'd let himself get careless.<br/>Socks glanced about, taking the situation into account, Hiiro on the ground, Talon trying to talk to one of the recruits, Barb trying to get another to join the fray.

No better way to judge you than to see how you actually work with the team right?"<br/>She suppressed a cringe at the sound of a roar, "Or I can take you to a safe place but I would really appreciate if you helped out over there." She motioned out into the hall with her thumb. "I need to know about now though, they need some help."
