Jasper strolled over to Sirra, "I don't really know what we've gotten ourselves into," he said. "Kyle will explain what he knows once we're all safe and sound in the factory. And anyway, I already said you don't have a choice in the matter." Jasper grabbed Sirra's wrist and pulled her towards the exit, calmly letting all the hits she aimed at him pass through harmlessly.<br/><br/>Jasper pulled Sirra out the door and into the night, the others following close behind. Strictly speaking, Jasper wasn't anywhere near as strong as Sirra, but he was making the bottoms of her feet pass through whatever they caught on, making it impossible for her to resist.<br/><br/>They followed Jasper's nose deeper into the forest. Once they were getting close Jasper carefully sniffed the air. "That's funny," he said, stopping for a moment. "I just noticed another scent near Clover. It's really subtle, but I can smell a little human, and a little machine. I didn't even notice it until now..."<br/><br/>"Is it a Technus?" Kyle asked nervously.<br/><br/>"No," said Jasper, "It doesn't smell the same as the other one did. Less metal more... life." They continued walking and soon saw Clover, and a girl about to wake him up.<br/><br/>"Whoa, hold it!" Jasper stage-whispered to her, "Something tells me he'll be really cranky when he wakes up. You could get seriously hurt." Jasper turned to the others. "So what should we do? Wait for him to wake up?"<br/><br/>"We don't know how long that will take, or for that matter, how long we actually have," said Kyle. "I vote Jasper should wake him up."<br/><br/>Sol laughed grimly, "Kid's always a pain. I'm not waking him up. I suppose if we have to ghost boy over there is a good choice. What do you think, Aeris?"<br/><br/>Aeris was still trying to move on from what Kyle had said about Kairos, and about her father. "Hmm? Oh, well my technology doesn't do much concerning humans. If he gets cranky I'd rather he not take it out on me. Sorry Jasper. Looks like it's already a majority vote."<br/><br/>"Come on guys, he's just really scary when he's mad," then he muttered under his breath, "And I'm not a ghost boy. I happen to have an aptitude for spirit magic." his voice returned to normal, "And I'm not doing anything until Sirra votes. I count Clover's vote as an automatic no, so if Sirra says no then it's a tie."<br/><br/>"And what do we do if it's a tie?" asked Kyle.<br/><br/>Jasper paused, "...Rock paper scissors?" he suggested feebly. He turned to Sirra, "So how about it? I really am sorry for dragging you all this way," he said, attempting to suck up at the last moment.
