All around her was FIRE. The ground was on FIRE, the forest and all the trees were on FIRE, the animals were on FIRE, the air itself was FIRE.  The sun beamed down on the devastation with an eerie red glow, as if it too was on FIRE, as if FIRE could be on FIRE. Rain was falling from the burning dark clouds hanging overhead in patches, but even the rain seemed as if it was on FIRE, a perception that was further reinforced by how it scalded her naked skin. Instead of putting out the FIRE, it only seemed to make it spread. In short, this was a really pleasant place to be. The girl takes stock of her surroundings.  There is no shelter from the FIRE. No refuge from the devastation. No safety from the FIRE. Quite simply, the only thing with her was THE FIRE.<br/><br/>---------------------------------<br/>Cali listens intently to Ty as he describes his creation and his mystical abilities. Puzzled by the information, she ponders it for a few moments before speaking, "I've never heard of an AI quite like you. You and I might have more in common than I first thought.  I mean, it'd be very difficult to program an AI to be able to do what you can do, almost bordering on the impossible.  And yet, I get the feeling you and your pilot were meant to be together. Sort of like fate or destiny."<br/>----------------------------------<br/>The trio rushed down the corridor toward the hangar, catching the eye of more than a few of the cadets as they went about their business. "It would seem that the higher ups have kept your arrest a secret for the moment," Cherise hissed, her danger sense went on high alert and her tail puffed out.  Moments later an armed soldier rounded the bend of an intersecting corridor and attempted to take her out with the butt of his gun. Too late, he realized she had gone low and was aiming a strong punch to the gut.  The man flew into one of the walls of the corridor, winded and unable to fight. "Come on, we don't have time to dawdle Cherise," Silas called over his shoulder, not having stopped for her. Cherise easily made up the distance with her cat-like agility.  At another intersection, a trio of armed guards appeared and aimed their weapons at the fugitives. Alarms started blaring as Renault fired on them, causing them to take cover.  Silas slammed a fist into a control panel and the intersection was sealed off by a bulkhead. He then smashed the controls to prevent them from being opened anytime soon.  The three didn't stop for a second as they rushed to the hangar, only to find it had been sealed because of the lockdown. " We need to get to R&D," Renault decided.<br/>-------------------------<br/>The head mechanic does a mental check of the list of parts Razzly requested before saying, "I think we can get you those parts. I'll see what I can do.  It might take me a while, but you're more than welcome to use the shower facilities if you'd like." He fails to hide the expression on his face as he imagines Razzly in the shower, but he quickly turns and sets about procuring the parts she needed, so as not to let on how much she turned him on.<br/>
