Transitioning into the Black

Solsi's eyes flickered to Kate briefly. "I know a couple tricks, but Kate's the healer, and a really good one!" she replied confidently. In fact she got to see the girl's powers in action not moments ago.

Ann was about to reply to Minty, when Mattie appeared from the entrance. She looked at her with concern. "What's going on?" she asked.

The mechanic's body started to respond quickly & in favor of the group by healing. However by the time the more serious wounds had healed, his eyes had snapped back open in a prismatic.

Her luck held out! No goons or anything all the way back to the entrance (although she almost tripped over something just siting in the middle of the floor, she guessed even in space you had your messy types), and there were Ann and Minty standin' right there. Perfect!

She opened her mouth to speak, taking a few precious seconds to gather back some air, and saying in huge rush, "W-we found ya guy, or rather he found us...with a wrench. He's beat up pretty bad, shiny thing on arm goin' all over the place, and last I saw passed out." She held up a finger to get some more air and cough a little bit.

"Sneaky Magic and Metal Legs are with him gettin' him all patched up with some sorta spellwork and first-aid combo, but blue-hair was real worried 'bout the shiny stuff. You know anything about it?" she finished, directing her attention to Ann for the last part.

Ann listened & shook her head. "...I've... I've never heard of that happening..." she said slowly looking at Minty for an answer.

"Looks like fate is answering the question for you." Minty smiled at Ann, "I've seen the crystallization once before. He was ahhh....distressed...at the time."

In fact, Arron had probably been downright distraught. Falinn had played a practical joke on him by shoving him half dressed in the middle of a conversation Minty hand Gigi had been having about abs. The visual display of the mechanic's physic had been too much for either woman to resist and they had both resorted to flirtatious teasing. Arron had turned strawberry red and then to crystal. In the interests of all involved, Minty decided to keep the details of the encounter vague.

"He had a potion down one of his numerous hatches that reversed the process. From what I've been told though, be careful. When he goes all rock-candy like that he's apparently very violent and very strong. You didn't find any glass looking vials while you were looking for him? Or on his person or in his toolbox? I'd think Arron would keep some medicine close in case of emergencies. Like this one."

The young woman shook her head saying, "No I haven't seen anything like that... Unless you are talking about the medicine that was helping him with the radiation poisoning he had."
She looked determined yet worried as she slipped on the jump suit she was wearing before.

"Potions. Medicine. It's all the same." Minty shrugged, "Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. That sounds like the stuff though. Probably. If his radiation poisoning turns him into a Crystal Gem...erm...*cough* I mean, causes what is probably a calcification process of his organic matter that resembles crystallization."

Minty started walking up the gang-plank, "Either way, we should shake a leg. The armed guards are no longer the most dangerous thing on this ship."

Ann, slowly nodded as she followed after Minty & Minstrel. She looked confused as well as concerned at the situation. Her authoritative demeanor had given away to someone who did not look as sure of themselves.

 

[Minty Andee]

(Okay, the fact we're all talking about a messy battle/recon/medic mission aboard a spaceship WHILE ALL DRESSED IN OUR FANCY FINEST is giving me no end of amusement)

"...Oh for Edova's sake." said the mechanic's counterpart, "Oh course this is how it happens. Of course. Guy wouldn't let me take over until he passes out from blood loss!" The rest of Arron's body quickly crystallized revealing a new character. The mage as well as a few others had met Arron's other half before, & those meetings were not the best of times. However, Lyth appeared angry at Arron & not the rescue party.

Solsi jumped back a little. At first she feared crowding the patient and getting in Kate's way...but then, hearing a new voice coming out of Arron, it seamlessly transitioned into a startled reflex. When the crystalization completed, he appeared altogether different. "Uhh... Lyth?" Kate asked skeptically. "Lyth...?" she echoed in confusion. The magical girl found a wall to support her while she tried to figure this all out. "Of course this is how it happens. Of course. Guy wouldn't let me take over until he passes out from blood loss!" the man, apparently Lyth, went on. Solsi blinked a couple of times and shook her head. "Whoa whoa, what's going on now?" her voice cracked. Her first instinct was to worry that this...whatever this was...was a direct result of his recent attack and kidnapping, but everyone was talking as if it was normal and happened before.

At a complete loss for words, Ru stared at the transformations' result. "Well. That's certainly new." The mercenary took a cautionary step backwards to study the scene. "Sooo... Mister Lyth, was it? Do you still have need of the rescuing, or has the goal of our little excursion here changed? Anyone want to fill me in on what just happened here?" Ru looked to the others around the new crystalline being in front of him for answers.
