[Video] - Grasshopper Day 13

[wizard_redfive]

[If anyone is near the Luggage Car, they might see a trunk suddenly swing open with a loud TWACK, a foot sticking out from kicking it. One very disgruntled Dairine sits up. Grumbling, she brushes herself off and heads straight for the closest ICP.]

Hey, is the mission still on? What did I miss?

The whole week.

[Nita deadpans, as Bobo helpfully pings Spot to affirm the exact time of day on the 5th of Grasshopper that they disappeared.]

The good news is, we stopped the threat we were sent to intercept. The bad news is, we got even less context as to what was up than we normally get here, let alone on errantry.

[But then, that's a given.]

[Dairine flicks open Spot to check the deets.]

Crud.

[She really did miss the whole thing.]

You better have. I'd be extremely cross with the lot of you if you failed without me. [And also beat herself up for not being there to help.] What little context did we get?

The actual threat was something from space, for one. Never identified itself, and the spheres all over the planet produced its 'offspring' every night to attack the natives. They didn't even respond to the Speech!

[Nita shakes her head.]

It got worse as the week went on - by the end of it all teams had to fight the things. Half the teams fought what seemed to be the source of them on the surface, defending the labs; the rest of us went all the way down to where the 'Burrower' was and defended it.

I, uh, might have helped the rocks do some remembering.

[Dair might even recognize that trick.]
