A door burst open, not too far away and Matilda stumbled out, coughing and waving away smoke that was coming out of her room.

She had started to hear all the bombs going off, the screams, and then shortly after the telling noise. It was a good thing she had been able to find it, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to conjure up a small shield around it to withold the blast.

The tiny girl held herself up against the wall, watching the smoke billow out and slowly reveal a foggy--but otherwise fine looking room. What on Earth was going on? The poor thing was always trapped in her room, and had yet to have much interaction with the others, she she was still slightly at a loss for why they were even out in the Badlands to begin with.

Her numb musing came to a complete stop, however when she heard footsteps and turned in their directions.

To see a somewhat frightening looking man, and a large snake leading his way.

She let out a little shriek at the sight of it and acted reflexively, her mind flinging the snake away from her.

The snake - currently four feet long, and not unlike a minature anaconda - hissed as it slammed into the wall; Medusa had not quite expected that, and the instinctual response slipped out. Swiftly regaining control, she had it look around, searching for the source of the attack

Sho had been running at his full speed, and such when the girl 'attacked' his guide, he really didn't have time to stop. Instead he went faster, and jumped.

He took to the air, soaring over her head, his boots brushing her hair a little, before he landed of to the side.

The snake gave him a look, and he stopped, twitching from the need to keep moving, but not disobeying either.

"Make up your mind little digit, unless you WANT to exploded." He had no idea this girl was the one he had talked to over the journals earlier... but he would of been amused if he had. Life was ironic that way.

Oh god, he was going to squash her. Matilda illogically thought and for a moment more she was frozen on that wall, barely believing that he had made that jump so easily. Her heart was pounding a drum solo but not that she was beginning to understand things a little more, thanks to Medusa's explanation her resolve was returning. The fear trickled slowly, out of her face. She was still frightened, but now in control.

The voice wasn't one she had heard before, but Matilda had read about familars, and ventured to guess that this snake was something of that sort.

She was a little torn. Her reaction to the snake had been completely instinctual--as good as she was, Matilda still sometimes lost control when emotionally strung, and had she been in more control she would have just won. Edgeworth had told her not to flaunt her powers, and that it was best to just lay low about them but it was a little too late for that now.

"I'll help." She would ask later for them to keep it hidden, turning to follow Sho wherever he led.

Bidoof didn't know what was going on. He'd been sleeping peacefully and dreaming of becoming a treasure hunter with Sunflora when suddenly! There was shouting and explosions and people running about! It was enough to confuse a bidoof, by golly. He couldn't even find his journal to ask what was going on.

So he tried to find someone who wasn't too busy running about to tell him what was going on.

Integra had been in buildings under fire before. The only difference now was that the building was half a mile in the air. Not ideal conditions to mount a search-and-destroy mission, but circumstances couldn't be helped. She could only work around them.

She had managed to get the top off the small wooden table in her cabin and had it tied to one arm as an improvised shield. Belowdecks, the corridors were eerily quiet, all sounds relegated to the distance - shouts, pounding feet, and the occasional BOOM. There was no beeping here.

Rounding a corner, Integra nearly collided with a-- what the hell was that thing? A beaver? Why the hell was a beaver on board an exploding ship?

Again, circumstances couldn't be avoided, only worked around. There was no beeping in the immediate area, so Integra lowered her shield and snapped, "State your business!"

...Hopefully it was a talking beaver or she'd look a proper idiot.

"Oof!" Bidoof flailed wildly to get out of the way of someone charging around the ship. That was the problem with being so short compared to everyone else, by golly. No one sees you until they trip over you.

Standing on his back legs to talk -- she looked like someone who was in charge. Bidoof hadn't gotten around to knowing all the superior officers -- he clutched the stick he'd been carrying in his mouth with his front paws. She looked scary though, so before Bidoof knew it, he was saluting with both paws, causing the stick to drop.

"Trying to find out what's going on so I can help out!"

[adlegatio]

So it could speak. And salute. Integra inferred this to mean that it was a part of the crew. There was no time for introductions, so this information would have to do.

"There are bombs planted on the ship," she said, just as another explosion went off somewhere disconcertingly near. "They're easily disarmed, but not so easily located. Assist me in disarming as many of them as possible - two will work more efficiently than one."
