Welcome to Gaia! ::

She took the offer, as the closest to sympathy she expected from the General, wincing as the pain shot through her arm.
"Okay.. I suppose that was a little dim." And thought to herself, how was I to know what way up the stupid thing went? Both ends look the same.
Having picked herself up, both JL and herself entered the building through the previously mentioned, slightly ajar door.
She looked over to JL, "Any chance of that sticky plaster?" She smiled.

"Ooofh." She felt so; so stomped on. In the dark, and out of harms way, she grinned. Space put one hand on JL's shoulder, and the other found itself on her face, patting gently in order to discover exactly what she'd found. Feeling cool metal, she panicked, thinking it was a weapon. Space grabbed the artifact and pulled it towards her. Stood in total darkness, grasping the metallic object she said rather proudly,
"Don't worry General, I got it!"

Her reply was muffled, and turned into something along the lines of "Mggunhfff huugthyr"
The cold, clammy skin was uncomfortable against her face, and the long fingernails scratched her cheek. Her eyes widened too. The putrid smell of old skin seeping into her nostrils, she squirmed a little, attempting to free her face from the vile creature.

Her worry subsided a little, as the General sat up, though she had looked better. Now, she deemed, would be a good time to give the general back her glasses. She looked down, fumbling in her pocket, and smiled, bringing them up to the General's eye level, and wafting them a little.
"Thought you might need these. Sorry I took them, I didn't realise it was you." She considered asking about the head, but, seeing the look in JL's eyes, decided it was better left alone. For now at least.

Unsure of how to break the news to the general, she shuffled round and sat in front of her. Nervously.
"While you were.. out of it.. I thought I could use the 'Gem' Eyes gave us to try and escape, but-"
She held what was once the shining artifact out at arms length, it was now a shrivelled, black crumbling mass of what looked like cooled molten rock.
"I think the Anti-Tech Beam that Eyes spoke of earlier has something to do with it. When it didn't get us out of here, I thought I could use it to revive you, but that didn't work, either, well ..obviously. My bet is all the gems are broken, permanently."

Waters walked toward a house with glittery objects on them. as he got closer he noticed something famliar. They were C-4!! Waters backed away and went off in search of clues to the whereabouts of the two lost group members.

She thought about that, for a minute, hands deep in pockets. She felt the detonator given to her earlier, some tissues, a few other objects, none close enough to wire to fit into the lock.
It hit her suddenly, and she began to unbutton the standard green BDU overcoat. She hoped the guard wasn't getting any ideas, as she pulled her shirt up, with one arm.
"Right where I left you" she said, half to herself, half to the Safety Pin holding up her slightly too large trousers. Unpinning it, and replacing it with a hair elastic, not perfect but close enough, she then held it up, and looked over to where JL knelt by the door.
"Will this do? Not quite wire.." She smiled, hoping this would be her chance to be of some use.

Waters noticed that some of the Cronies were massing around a ceartin house. Waters went down the neares ally and mase his way towards the back of the house the cronies were massing near. he took out one of his gems and placed it on the wall and put his ear to it....listning. he heard JL and Space voices. so he willed a hole to appear, the gem caused the wall to melt away. Inside he saw (to his relief) JL and Space huddled inside.
