Boney, or Appleblossom, had been so eager to join up and see the spheres she hadn't even considered who she might be joining with.  She had ended up "conscripted" on a Githyanki ship but then was saved by another before she had learned much about them.  She had, as usual played dumb, making many mistakes and as much mischief as she could get away with.  Once saved, she took the first chance she could to join up, using the magic she had kept hidden.  The ship they escaped from pursued and another joined in, destroying the ship and leaving everyone for dead.  Since the Githyanki didn't have lots of experience with saurials it was easy enough to play dead.  Unfortunatly the pretending was building to reality.  With the power going down things were getting cold.  Too cold.  She could feel herself growing slugish.  She fought it off as best she could but it was a biological inevitability that she would go into torpor unless heated soon.  Only her large size kept her from passing out to this point.  If she had been any of the smaller of her species she probably would be asleep by now.
