[b][i]GM Post - Ashton and Flame[/i][/b]

Ashton and Flame, having had their laserdiscs and a few musical instruments delivered to the Xuanzang, were now looking for a place to catch up with Jude, having decided to accompany him home to the Xuanzang. 

Then they saw the pillar of white fire from some distance away and Flame said, "Damnit. It's either us, the Ascendancy, or miscellaneous terrorists. Either way, we need to warn the others - Ashton?!"

His boyfriend was already looking at the pillar, a bad idea considering the fact that it could be radioactive, and taking a moment to concentrate, a long moment to use Supernal Vision. Then he said to Flame, "It's World Magic, but much amplified as if someone pumped in a lot of Mana." His face turned firm as he said, "Let's go - Maybe we can do something."

As he began running towards the source of the danger, Flame, already activating his 'Prenatural Calmness' spell (he had taken that instead of a Nuking spell - That can be learned later) said using the telepathic link being lent to them, <[i]Maria![/i] Are you here? Tell me what's happening with the pillar of fire! Also, send a message to every one of our crew in the Bazaar to rendezvous in the Pillar of Fire!>

Just in case Maria was somehow incapacitated, Flame would also send a voicemail to his' and the others' omni-tools, saying, "There's a Pillar of Fire in Sector North! One of us is at fault! Help us put it out and then flee the Bazaar at once - Security will not look kindly on what we're going to do!"

Ashton, meanwhile, was making a few automated purchases, ones which relied on his Omni-tool and access to autonomous delivery drones. One of the latter flew overhead and dropped three hoverscooters/airspeeders in front of them, which both kids hopped on and began driving towards the flaming pillar (it was up to Jude if he wanted his'). The second purchase, meanwhile, would be dropped off at where the Pillar of Fire was, and contain several containers of high-grade fire-extinguishing foam which was resistant to radiation as well.

"Maria!" Ashton said, before shifting to the borrowed telepathic link, <We just ordered several containers of high-grade fire extinguisher - The type which can put out flaming lava - Dropped off to the site of the incident! Are you okay?> Then shifting gears to talk to Jude and Finbarr in his mind, Ashton added, <Jude, we might need the Stasis power if I remember right about you having it, while as for you, Finbarr, we're going to need an escape route back to the ship as soon as possible, so rendezvous with us so we can flee!>

Why were they going to flee again? Because Bazaar Security in gunships and old-fashioned ground vehicles (which were cheaper and less vulnerable to counterattack than hovering speeders), was already flying towards Alan and the pillar of fire, saying, "Attention! Attention! You kids are under arrest for Suspected Terrorism and Unauthorized Magic Use!"
