I didn't see a lot of options for how to proceed. The plan had always been to seize the city with Crystal and then to use its resources to rescue Sylax and Anna. That plan had failed. Either Wolf was going to win the day at this point, the only hedge against them would be Sylax herself. If I wanted Anna back I'd have to go and get her. I didn't have to rescue Sylax too, but at this point the differences between her and Wolf had faded into irrelevance with the primary difference being one of them might actually be grateful to me.

If I was going to effect any sort of rescue I'd need either a ship or to control the transit portals that rimmed the city.

I reached out and tried to reestablish my connection with Tara and my drones on the Graven. It was like trying to pick out a whisper in a loud room but when I finally got a connection everything snapped in at once.

Tara was on the bridge of the Graven and had been injured, one arm broken in four places and some burns that might prove life threatening without proper treatment. Oddly enough she was also in shades of black and white. None of my drones were or the ship itself. I had lost eight drones, and the others all had injuries of their own.

I took one over so I could have a conversation. "This is Emma. Status?"

"Crystal blacked out and we have her in a medbay. Vessel secure. Holding position above the Alivari Ravine having escaped from that dimension I was a prisoner," Tara said.

"You're looking rather duochrome," I said.

"Don't have an answer for that. I didn't have coordinates for Aefwal and outside of your control neither did your drones," Tara said.

Her words matched what I was pulling from my drones memory. It seemed they'd had a hell of a fight just to get safe.

"Do you want a healing upgrade?" I asked her. Righteous tended to hate the powered, it seemed polite to ask.

"Will I survive until I can get back to one of your medbays?" Tara asked.

"Probably," I said.

"Then I'll pass," Tara said.

I cleared an underground hanger and had my drones take over the ship controls. A shimmer as I engaged the drive and the ship was docked.

I sent a medical drone for Tara and my others at once as well as replacement drones for those injured to man the ship.

Well now I could get to the Ooze world but that wouldn't help me to save Anna and Sylax. To do that I thought I'd need the most formidable offensive tool I could get, I needed Hot Stuff.

Even while I was out my surveillance systems had been monitoring and recording. Put together I had a good idea of what was going on in Wolf's district. His district was mostly composed of dense forest and under ground bunkers, and under thermal scan some irregularities quickly became apparent.

Hot Stuff herself put out a lot
