The Tower Chapter 1: A New Dawn

"We escaped from Lorne." Taylor answered, keeping most of its eyes focused on the being itself, though it was still paying attention to the movements of the rats around it. "He helped me escape. He fed me to bursting to give me the strength to escape, but it weakened him. Knocked him unconscious. I owe him my freedom, so now I protect him. And it's why I'll kill you if you hurt him."

Briefly, Taylor's thoughts went back to the escape, especially being that had spoken to it after it broke free from its cell. Whatever it was, it knew about Taylor and its captivity, and had the power to give it an escape route. Yet, it had taken William to get it out of its cell. Were William and the ghost related in some way, or had it been coincidence? Taylor could not ask William at the moment, but it did realize that others outside Lorne might know about it.

"Then there was the other being. The strange face that appeared on the screens, jumping between them like it was struggling to stay put. It could have been a...hacker, but it felt more like a ghost in the machines. It spoke to me...gave me a path out of the prison. Do you know about the ghost? Have you seen it before?" Taylor asked.

Taylor jumped up to its feet the moment it spotted the being enter the room, letting out a sound most akin to a growl to warn it from getting too close. It could not see behind the coat, but the sight of some of the rats gathering around it immediately clued Taylor in to the fact that they were related. It seemed that the para woman had been right in her intuition about the rats that had been trailing them; they were more than just normal rodents.

"Just stay back from him. I don't know you, but I will kill anything that tries to hurt him. You have questions...then you can ask them from right there." Taylor warned.

Additionally, there would be no Sangheili the lab, and he probably would not have met any of the few Sangheili aboard the Resurgence yet. The only Sangheili with experience vaguely related to science is still in slipspace on the Aegis.

As cautious and suspicious as Taylor was being overall, it was at least warming up slowly and noticeably to the para woman. It did not argue when she used her abilities to assist it, so as long as she kept her distance and allowed Taylor to do its work uninterrupted. After cleaning the wounds, it saw no signs of a negative reaction to the antibiotics. Granted, it was not an ideal sort of test, but these were not ideal circumstances. It applied the antibiotics to deal with any potential infection, then set to work with care and precision to bandage each and every one of William's burns.

Regardless, Taylor was still somewhat terse in its answer to the para woman. "It doesn't matter what I was before. That life was stolen."

However, even after the woman flew away to keep watch around the area, Taylor still had cause to be protective. She had called attention to the rats, so Taylor was taking notice of them. It had seen them as it was fleeing through the city, and now it could still catch glimpses of them here, as long as it looked closely enough. Their presence only reaffirmed to Taylor that it needed to stay right by William's side, if they intended to make a meal of the incapacitated Human.

After Taylor had finished with the bandages, it dressed William in the clothing the woman had brought, then curled up, laying on the ground by his feet. Its many, glowing eyes scanned the room, vigilant even for small signs of movement.

Like I said before, Sep wants to avoid having to repeat the same "meet-and-greet" over and over again, so during the timeskip, he had it so that the new arrivals were brought into the universe near to where we were hiding. So, your ship would have been greeted by our fleet and given the basic explanation of what was going on. They would have been told that they had been pulled into an alternate universe, though whether they fully believe it yet is up to you. Currently, the Resurgence is about to be host to a meeting to decide on the fleet's next steps, and your ship would have been invited to send a delegation.

Meesei had attempted to show a friendly expression when Ariel answered the door, but the scent that emerged from inside behind her was...overpowering, to say the least. Even the normally stoic Do'rhajul could not avoid briefly scrunching up his face. However, Meesei was not too distracted to answer when Sabine gestured to her. "Hello, Ariel, it is a pleasure to see you again. I admit, I wish I could say I was here for purely social reasons. Indeed, we probably will have the chance to catch up as well, but there is something of great...personal importance to me that I wanted to ask you about."

Hesitating a moment, Meesei gave a quick glance to the streets around them. Most of the city's crowds had died down by this hour, but Meesei could still not speak freely out in the open. "Might we come in?" She asked.

If you're feeling up to it, @DisturbedSpec, now would be a good time for you to post. We're currently awaiting the new arrivals to make their introductions, and to have their delegates arrive on the Resurgence for the meeting.

The Tower Chapter 1: A New Dawn

Taylor was less hostile the second time the woman entered the room, though it was still quite obviously on-edge the entire time. It did not have facial expressions with which to show it, but it was glad to see the supplies she had brought. They would certainly improve William's chances. However, as the woman started to edge too close to William, it once again put itself between the two of them. "No, I will treat him. You watch! You...keep watch." It snapped back as it snatched up the trauma kit in its arms.

If there was one thing that had been made clear, it was that the woman would have to fight Taylor if she wanted to get close to William. Fighting was certainly an option open to the woman; however, Taylor did soon show itself to be quick, decisive to act, and surprisingly gentle once it had its supplies in hand. Despite being considerably more massive than the average Human at the moment, the tendrils than comprised its constantly shifting hands could easily and delicately manipulate objects. It laid out the blanket she brought flat on the floor, then gently lifted up and moved William on top of it, with his head resting on the pillow. From there, Taylor opened up the trauma kit and, by appearances, seemed to know exactly what it was looking for. Taylor pulled out a bottle of antibiotic ointment and, rather than immediately start rubbing it on the burns, applied only a small drop or two to a portion of skin on his arm to begin testing for an allergic reaction. From there, it grabbed the water, which was at least reasonably cool, and started to use it to clean out the burned areas of his body.

Taylor heard the footsteps on approach well-before the dark-haired woman made her way into its room. With as many obstacles and debris as there was scattered across the floor, it was difficult to move around quietly. Were the intruder a police officer or someone with a Lorne uniform, Taylor might have attacked immediately, but this intruder was obviously different. She was something of a tall woman in elegant, dark clothing that appeared severely out-of-place in a location such as this. That fact bought her enough time for Taylor to see her create the orb of light in her hand.

Although the light revealed Taylor, it also went a long way to disarming its aggression. That was obviously not natural, so she could only be a parahuman. Briefly, Taylor felt relief at the notion that help may have found them, but ultimately, its mistrust was not so easily diminished. The fact that she was a para did not necessarily mean she had good intentions; it just meant she was not working for Lorne.

Taylor moved in front of William, standing between him and the woman in a defensive posture. Its eerie, echoing voice let out something similar to a hiss to warn the woman away from getting any closer, though Taylor did not make any more aggressive moves itself. It knew that William was hurt and needed treatment, but the burns themselves were not the major concern. They were deep, but none had penetrated all the way through the skin. It was primarily their size that made infection the biggest threat. "No...he can't go to a hospital. They'll learn what he is, sent him back to Lorne. He has to stay safe. I don't know you...don't know what you want. You want to help? Bring me supplies. Bring...bandages, disinfectants, clean water..." Taylor said, pausing to give a quick glance to William's bare form. "...clothing. Bring those supplies here...while I protect him."

Hope you get through it smoothly, @DisturbedSpec. For the current situation, delegates from each of the ships are starting to gather on the Resurgence for a meeting on what to do next. Just so we don't have to keep repeating the meet-and-greet stage of the RP, the new ships were included in the previous timeskip as having met up in the transitory mists. They would have been given the basic explanation of the fact that we are all in an alternate universe, having been pulled in by some mysterious force from other universes. The Immaculate Aegis has not yet arrived, since its FTL is slower, so your characters would not be aware of the Sangheili presence yet.
