"Maybe it was something to do with that ritual. a predicted or unpredictable result of the magic that was used! Who really knows? All I know is I can understand all of you in this room so it's better in the long run that we are able to communicate is it not?" the monk interjected matter of factually. he paused to sip his coffee  "I say we go back and do some more digging. Give these guys some weapons just in case force is needed and call up whatever scholars you have left in Trident's ranks to help interpret the symbols a little better." 


Dayna had found her way back to the meeting, in less of a foul mood. She perked up at the monk's suggestion. It would mean that she would be free from this metal prison and hopefully more time with the elemental energies of Earth would enable her to connect wiht their forces.

"I agree with the monk!" she chimed as she hovered into the room "It will be good to feel the fresh air once more." She turned to Vaughtar and drifted closer to him and his crate "Besides, at best, this one looks like he can protect everyone anyway. At worse, he would do nicely at scaring other people away. I mean look at what he's done to his chair!" She circled him slowly, gazeing at his wings. "It looks like it would do you well to stretch those wings once more too!" she commented out loud.


Natasha

The striking red head brooded to herself at the sight of the dreadful submarine lurking below them once more. So dull, She had never grown fond of Trident's mobile bases and the submarine was one of the worse. A giant tin can, and everyone in it stuffed like sardines.

She looked across at the pilot and sighed "To think, I cut my vacation short to come to this pile of heaping dung. At least I'll be able to hang with some of the MOON operatives. That's about all that's motivating me to report here , plus I want to show off these sexy Tan lines and make them all jealous!" The capsulke pilot simply stated 
"Well Actually, you would have been suspended if you refused Ma'am"
"Oh you're such a kill joy. If I didn't need you to pilot this capsule I would have tossed you overboard before we dove."
"Actually they would have also suspended you if you had refused my escort Ma'am! More so if you had tossed me overboard!"
The look she gave him burned him to silence and a few moments later, they were docking
"Have a good day Ma'am"
"Fuck you!" and a less than lady like gesture was all she offered as the airlock closed. he had known she hated being called Ma'am. After all she was only 33. if he had said it one more time, he would have been unconscious right now and she gained some satisfaction knowing that he knew that.
