Ru grabbed the shoulder of Arron's that wasn't crystallizing to steady him, being careful to avoid his many wounds. "Easy buddy! You can't go out on us now!" The mercenary could feel panic welling up in his gut. He looked toward the others across from him. "Kate, Solsi, Mattie! Help me out here please!? This guy weighs a bit more than he looks!" His other hand carefully Guiding Arron's head down, Ru tried to get a look into his eyes. "Mechanic, hey! No time for sleeping! You gotta tell us how to fix you!"

_Solsi grabbed around Arron's waist in a futile effort to help out. "It's okay, just take it easy..." She tried to sound reassuring but it was obvious by her tone she was struggling to support the rather tall man.OOC: ~

She hurried over as Arron swayed and lost his balance. Getting a better look at the situation, it was much worse than expected. "Oh dear Gaia... The crystallization is spreading." Kate looked around as if she would find something. Only problem was, it definitely wouldn't be there. She wasn't sure where his toolbox would be right now. Would it be here or back as his ruined workshop?

It was too late for their words to reach the mechanic. He had already fallen unconscious from blood loss. The group would notice a raised band around his neck that was slowly fading away. However his body was still crystallizing & fast.

The blonde twirled the knife between her fingers, the blade flashing in the sun as she danced it around her phalanges with nary a nick. Minty kept one eye on Ann, waiting for an answer to her question, and the other on the scenery. There was always the possibility of a third guard coming back from a bathroom break at an inopportune time.

Ru looked to the detective on the other side of the transforming machinist. "Run and go get Ann, she may know what to do!" He started lowering the now unconscious man to the floor. With a free arm he reached for his gauze and looked to the two mages. "Which one of you knows white magick? I am no medic, I need help with him."OOC: Minstrel says she won't be on till late today guys!

The young woman snapped out of her thoughts & nodded at Minty. "Sorry... Yeah everyone made it on board..." she said.

"Good." Minty stopped fiddling with the knife and shoved it in her belt, "Then I have a few questions for you. One in particular. What do you want with Arron?"
Her demeanor was friendly, but the observer of the acute would sense there was a proverbial muscle tensed.

She paused before replying, "...I... I want to see my friend again."Ann's voice had become very soft, & sad.

"You knew him from before he crashed here, yeah? Same corner of space and all?" Minty asked, still all friendliness and smiles. There was still a tension in the air, like someone had played a chord sequence but left out the last note.

Ann nodded once again. "We've known each other for... stars... about eight years now..." she said quietly.

Minty relaxed and her smile went hundred-watt. That was the magic word she'd been missing from Ann's vocabulary. "Then let us fashion ourselves a stunning and dramatic reunion, after you~"
Minty bowed and gestured to the hatch on the ship.

The young woman stared at Minty. "...I... I don't... I don't know..." she admitted, "...We haven't seen each other in a long time. It... It could bring up way too many bad memories."

"So can paper cuts, but that shouldn't keep us from finishing the book." Minty shrugged, "It could be the best thing that has ever happened in the history of the universe. It doesn't do you much good to come all this way and then start balking now. Might as well see what happens. What are you gonna do anyways? Sit it out and wonder what could have happened for the rest of your life? We could sit here and come up with a million reasons why not to do this, some of them might actually be good, or we could sit and think of a million reasons why we should. But all that really is is doing nothing when we could be doing something. So the real question is, did you come all the way to Gaia to sit in the grass and worry about what might be, or did you come all this way to see your friend?"

Nodding at Ru, she began sprinting out of the Bridge and into the depths of the ship. She knew she wouldn't be much help in the taking care of the injured mechanic, but she could run. And run she did, feet making thumps as they hit the ships floor, the sound echoing down the empty halls. She hoped her luck would remain, at least until she could find the exit again. OOC: Back, orientation went sorta kinda well. ^-^
