[Vesper]
"Above us, I can get us to it, I need a height from the ground to the ship deck, those cycles if they are hover people get on them."
"Actually if it is less then 500' above town that will make this easier. Someone check those cycles."
Vesper waits for confirmation of the ships elevation. If in range he will open a mystic portal to it and urge everyone through.
He will grab something from the pile of items and toss it in his box as well.

Keldon is astonished. "There must be tens of millions
of credits at least." He says. "Almost under my
feet this whole time."

[GM]
Oz quickly locates the lever, but it seems stuck and it is
taking some effort to pull it."

[Keldon]
Kelson shrugs. "Perhaps, if we have enough psychic
energy we could at least teleport out of the town
itself."

[Jacek]
"Perhaps." Jacek replies. "But I feel it in
what is left of my gut that our homelands have troubles as
well. But one day at a time. First we must survive
this."
[/Jacek]
[Keldon]
Keldon and his eldest son quickly begin dumping gold and
silver bars into their odd boxes.
[/Keldon]
[Louissa]
Suddenly Louissa's voice squawks over Alex's and
Oz's radios. "Alex... Oz... Come in. This is
Louissa, and we're hovering over the center of town
right now. We can only stay here a few more minutes so come
in. Repeat. Only have a few minutes so please come
in."
[/Louissa]
[GM]
The ship must be close, as despite being underground in what
looks like a concrete bunker, her signal is coming through
clear.
Oz manages to pull the lever and the door
slides open, revealing a long passage that does not look
like it has an access to the surface. There is are lights at
the other end of it, and what my the quivering reflection of
water.
The crewman shouts out "We better move
out. Those Kydians are about to blow through the door!"
The door is indeed smoking and white hot.
