Good morning, everyone. It's nice to be able to say that and know that everyone's here and not here and on a spaceship. Let's see how the aftermath of our latest alien invasion went.
And no, for those of you wondering, that's probably not the last time someone will be able to say that sentence around here.
Over at the school, Face had the
library open for anyone who was helping out with the hacking.
Kinzie and Cosima were celebrating the simulation's destruction, and
Raven thanked Kinzie for everything she'd done to help us. I don't know if Kinzie is somehow still listening, but we're all grateful, thank you.
In town,
Emperor Zinyak wasn't pleased about the simulation's ongoing destruction but, as mentioned yesterday, he can kindly go [microphone feedback] himself. The good news was, getting off of
the ship wasn't difficult once the
pods everyone was being held in opened. The bad news was--well, I'm sure some people didn't mind running around naked, but it was certainly an indignity I'd like to not repeat any time soon.
Jono threatened the soldiers around Hannibal's pod until they let him out, and they took off together to get off the ship.
Eliot and Parker did some damage to the soldiers and the ship on their way to finding
Hardison and making sure he was with them while they made their escape. "
Escape" mostly involved beating up soldiers for their clothes and for being involved in this whole mess -
Atton made sure Sparkle got past the soldiers and
Kathy took care of a group all by herself.
Atton's ship was waiting outside the big ship, and he and Sparkle made their escape that way, while
Hardison hacked into the teleporters to get everyone else out.
*chittering*
Yes, I saw that part, but I wasn't going to call them out like that.
*sad chittering*
Oh fine. Also, Eliot admitted he loves Hardison, and if any of that glitter gets on me, there will be hell to pay, squirrels.
Cara also escaped safely by jumping out to Surreal and landing with her in the duck pond. There were worse options, I'm sure.
Hannibal and Jono also ended up in the park, and Jono insisted on just going home and skipping a visit to the clinic for any injuries, like a proper citizen of Fandom. I'm not saying that's smart, I'm just saying that note didn't surprise me in the slightest after living with you people for this long.
Atton made his way home and promptly got into an argument with someone over his comlink, and
Electroclash was chainsmoking in the park when
Bellamy came by. He wasn't pleased about the smoking, but they talked about how he's new in town. Oh, what a time to be new, poor boy. The ship finally
departed once everyone escaped, and we were left with a disco dance floor in the park. As goodbye presents go, Zinyak could have done a lot better.
Lottie and her animal menagerie danced in celebration;
Clint found his dogs among Lottie's assortment, and thanked her for taking care of them, and
Kathy found a dog she knew too, and was impressed with Lottie for taking care of everyone's pets.
Overall, I'd say everyone who was in Fandom deserves thanks for what you did to find us, get us out, and make sure everything was all right when we got back. Hopefully, we won't have to deal with anything strange for at least another week. Everyone, cross your fingers and we'll see.
