The sudden explosion and the punch from Fei is apparently sufficient to knock the dragon out. The creature staggered for a bit, still intent on devouring the adventurers who had crossed him. His injuries from the Sword Slash, the explosion, and the sudden punch showing in all the right parts. But then his movements became slower, and slower, and slower. Before the Dragon then crashed into the snow covered ground, breathing raggedly despite his prone position, and then breathed his last. Srikandi slowly went forwards, checking the status of the dragon, and the moment she saw the dead eyes staring at her. The Ksatria knew what had been done.

The Dragon's dead, the group has slayed a Dragon. And Srikandi gave the thumbs up to the rest of the group. [color=50c8ff][b]"I have no idea how you'd managed to do it, but it seems that a Dragon has been slain by our hands. While in any other occasion I would celebrate, I suggest that we cover his corpse with snow and then try to move as fast as we can to the Table. It is best that we reach our destination before more Dragons arrive and probably see the fruits of our labour."[/b][/color]

Srikandi then grunted in pain, the pain she felt on her stomach not subsiding at the very least. [color=50c8ff][b]"I... I can perhaps set up camp here? Don't worry, this won't be the first time I have been camping myself. I do not want to slow you down at all. Just make sure to pick me up once you've seen what's in the great table."[/b][/color]

As much as she wanted to see the sights of the Great Table herself, she knew that slowing down the team right here and now would be tantamount to collective suicide.

Oh, and before she forgot.

[color=50c8ff][b]"You, fairie."[/b][/color] She called Dumas. [color=50c8ff][b]"I was wondering where the other adventurers are, but I did not expect that a fairie would be among the many adventurers seeking what has crashed to the table. What is your name, and what abilities you might possess? My name is Srikandi Nagasari, the Ksatria Naga of Pataliputra. I hope that you would join forces with us in our quest to the table."[/b][/color]

The inclusion of the Fairie was honestly quite unexpected, and a bit surprising, while she is in no way familiar with fairies, Srikandi do know one thing about them.

That they are small.

And with that knowledge in hand, the Knight is not sure how to proceed with her next potential inquiry, perhaps when the group comes back Srikandi can ask that question. But right now, an introduction from the Fairie and a showcase of his abilities should be enough to make her satisfied about his joining of the party.

Not that she would exile the fairie should he showed himself to be an incompetent. They're not exactly in a position to choose the best adventurers right now, beggars can't be choosers.

The Rovers are prepped, the crew pretty much ready, Bonnie had been given the Green Light, and Q-T is all set and go for the entire op. Thank goodness the Gravity Harnesses are also brought by her, she has been Almira's lifesaver more than once during her pretty long career in the Navy. And now, with the Dragon Rider Squad also showing up, it seems that everything is all set and go.

Well, with the potential exception of Galmira's consent to bring about more people on her back.

[color=1A9D60]"Hey, Galmira. Are you okay if I bring in more people in with me? It's one thing for me and Q-T to ride on your back, but what about an entire squad? I'll be honest, they kinda came here out of nowhere and started giving the name Dragon-Rider Squad. I think I need to have a chat with Bonnie about the importance of communications or something..."[/color]

She'll be honest, she was quite surprised when Garrett and his squad suddenly showed up, Drago-Rider Squad and all, and started asking for orders. she felt like the entire group just suddenly barged in, assuming that she wanted his squad to be present and escort her in the first place. It's a bit weird to be honest.

[color=fff200]"Hmm. Well, we'll see. Take the Dragon-Rider squad into my back, with your 'Gravity Harnesses' and all, and we'll see if I can still fly."[/color] The Dragoness responded, suddenly transforming back into her bigger form and lying down. [color=fff200]"Walk into my wings and then to my back everyone. And we can perhaps rescue this squad before it's too late."[/color]

Almira, shocked at the sight of her transformation, was weirdly enough the first person to walk towards the creature, Gravity Harnesses and Megafuna Pacification devices on her thighs and back respectively, before settling on a place near Galmira's neck. Comfortable, the 300 year old woman began issuing orders yet again. [color=1A9D60]"Alright, Q-T, do you wanna come too? If she can lift both of us then Garrett's Squad can come."[/color]

She then touched her ear, a communications network was already set up in the minutes leading up to this moment. [color=1A9D60]"Hey, Sumiye. Are you riding in one of those rovers or something? I think you might be interested in the terrain data collected form the Rover's sensors and all, should be useful in calibrating our vehicle's suspension for the terrain ahead. Oh, and Zoe?" She then looked at the crashed ship. "Can you perhaps prepare a small welcoming party for our adventurers? Like set up a room and make it homely and such? I assume that you've cleaned yourself up and set the botanical gardens mostly right by now."[/color]

The final moments before an op like this is executed has always been intense, the sheer amount of energy that is about to be spilled is nothing short of atomic. A wellspring of manpower, energy, weapons, and will is about to be unleashed into the direction where Almira wills it, and once everything is ready, she will not hesitate to order the commencement of the op.

Just a few loose ties to be tied up, and everything's set.
