Jibb rushes back and forth bringing Artemis her required components. Once she has delivered them she rushes around to the other side of the massive furnace and reads a few gauges before turning a loud, squeaky wheel that causes steam to burst out of an open valve briefly. The fire in the furnace sparks up high as the steam vents out and then dies back down to its normal size. 
"Artemis you need to [i]hurry![/i]" she calls out, "We only have two... maybe three minutes left. The shuttle isn't going to reach them in time!" She is holding the valve tightly, keeping it from spinning back to it's original position with great effort.

Down on the surface the group has begun to move back toward the landing site. We have to scale the hill and return to the top, the valley is too dangerous for the shuttle to openly land in due to the possible effects some of the artifacts might have on the Drinnium engines. The Stone-Turner itself is also floating just above the hill, the shuttle will take us directly back up to the ship. Once we hit the base of the hill Gorchek drops down onto his prone position and scuttles up with extreme speed before hitting the top and calling for the shuttle to be deployed.

On the way up the hill Virum approaches Lanestol. The people of Lyduros have far greater mental capacity than those of a human and often make deductions or learn new skills entirely subconsciously. One such skill that he had learned from Lanestol was how to read people and determine when something was wrong, even if he could not diagnose [i]what[/i] was wrong. The doctor looked as though something troubled him and Virum couldn't help but take notice. He approaches and speaks semi-quietly so as not to arouse suspicion in the other members of the party.

"Are you okay, doctor? You look like you need to go see... Yourself, I suppose." Virum wasn't sure who to refer the only doctor on the ship to for a medical check up.

The shuttle begins its descent just as the group is reaching the top of the hill and about two minutes later it reaches the bottom.
