"I disabled the<BR>> elevator." Brian says. "They'd have get down here to fix it, and the<BR>> only way to do that right now is the way we came."<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> > [Owen]<BR>> > "Can the entrance to the Pocket be collapsed? I hope not.

But if they did, your life<BR>> would be kinda short, because those big cylinders are the<BR>> emergency air supply. If they seal it off, we'd probably have a day or<BR>> two at best."<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> > [Alex]<BR>> > Alex adds, "What are we suppose to do now?"<BR>> > [/Alex]<BR>> <BR>> [GM]<BR>> "I was gonna get to that." Brian says. "We've got to save the ship,<BR>> obviously. I've got this device..." He pulls a small metal object that looks<BR>> like a calculator that's been half pulled apart, with small looping wires,<BR>> buttons of different sizes from different equipment stuck to it, and a large<BR>> ruby right in the middle.<BR>> <BR>> "I swiped this off the engineer as he was trying to shove something in<BR>> my ear. I know it can be used by a psychic or a mage, and apparently<BR>> controls a second doorway that can be programmed for anywhere in<BR>> the ship. Can any of you use it?"<BR>> <BR>> Suddenly, far above, they can hear swishing, as if someone is sliding<BR>> down...<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> Aaron Clausen<BR>> mightymartianca@gmail.com<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Taocowpbem mailing list<BR>> Taocowpbem@zork.net<BR>> http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem<BR> <br /><hr />Windows 7: It works the way you want. <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/default.aspx?ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen:112009v2' target='_new'>Learn more.</a></body>
