"Are the others awake yet?" I asked the Squadron Leader. "If we're going to have this talk, I only want to go through everything once, ti is of the essence here."
"What do you an, ti is of the essence? The threat has clearly passed," The Squadron Leader replied.
I shot him a withering look and hoisted my aching body out of its floating bed. I had known from his cowardice during our fight with the hybrid that Belana wasn't the smartest of people in Prespian City, but this was taking his arrogance and idiocy to fresh new levels. All he was doing was centing the fact that I never wanted to work for him again.
"The threat hasn't passed in the slightest, if anything, the threat is only just getting started and if you can't see that I might consider taking myself out of the Guard entirely."
Belana seed taken aback by that, he flinched as if physically attacked. The concept of soone leaving the guard just days after they had been made a part of his squadron seed as if it were deeply offensive to the man.
"Now," I continued, disregarding the man's distress entirely, "We should find the others, I don't like repeating things."

We found the four other mbers of my little group sitting in a recovery lounge area, all four of them eating various different foods. My stomach grumbled at the sll of whatever it was that Yr'Arl was eating. It seed that Humans and whatever his species was called had a very similar sense of taste.
BB snarked, I couldn't keep the stupid grind off my face at the comnt.
"Hey everyone, how's it going?" I said as we entered the room.
Yr'Arl jumped to his feet, a deep rumbling purr coming from sowhere in his chest. Akash, anwhile, visibly stiffened at my voice. It was clear that we weren't going to be anything close to friends quite yet. Pax and Fal were leant up against one another, it was sweet to see them together again after so long.
Clearly, I was the one who had been out for the longest, whatever Yr'Arl had done hadn't agreed with my human biology.
"It is good to see you awake, Jacob Lyre, I had feared that"
"No need to fear Yr'Arl, I'm just fine," I cut him off and gave him a pat on his shoulder, before taking a seat on one of the more human-looking chairs. "But if we don't get ourselves back in the ga, none of us are going to be fine ever again."
"Indeed, the threat has not yet subsided, and we must work together if we are going to stop Lara and her plot," Akash chid in, I was surprised to see the wooden alien agree with so quickly.
"So It's true then," Belana gasped, "The human wasn't lying, Lara really was behind everything that has happened over the past week."
"The human has a na," I snapped, "and of course I wasn't lying, every word I've ever told you has been the truth, the sooner you realise that the better."
