    Mi Su shakes her head at the strangeness of it all, then goes back to reading her book. Eventually, she gets up and goes to bed.

    -------------

    The day-shift priestess comes in the next morning and sees a small foxlike creature curled up near the altar

    Hello there, little one.

    It opens its eyes and yawns, gently flicking its fluffy... tails?

    Aww... aren't you a cutie? What are you, then?

    The creature sneezes, releasing a small gout of flame, and announces

    Vulpix!

    The priestess is startled

    Oh, my!

    Out Front

    Enter THE LAW!
    Or really just Nick Richard's very official-looking Union squadcar, which pulls up and parks out front. He probably parks a bit too close to the temple than is proper, which is to say, he doesn't use the parking lot, but he has excuses. One of which being that the car floats so it's not like it's leaving a mark, and the other is that after a moment he gets out and opens the side door to reveal one unconscious chaos dragon and one conscious human man covered in minor injuries.
    If no one comes up to greet them, Nick will go looking.

    At the least, one Tavlii is here, coming out to see what the commotion of the hovercar is.

    "Yeah, they were working on some stuff Inside when they got jumped with some goons in suits. Had pretty good tech, but got him with a poison dart. Took some antitoxin, but I don't know what it is or if it's been properly neutralized. Whoever they were, they seemed to have unusually good knowledge of his work, so I thought that we had best have them looked at somewhere a bit more off the grid than a normal hospital." he says politely, finally taking off his helmet.

    Sounds like DART, right off the bat.
    "Can you move them? And who is worse off?"

    Tavlii is suddenly all business, and snaps her wings to rush close and chatter a spell that should slow the metabolism of both of the patients, and further protect them from any poison. Not Inarin techno-miracles, if they have any way of telling.

    "The man's injured, but he can walk a little. He can be helped to the infirmary easily enough. Fortuna's about four hundred more pounds than I can easily lift though. I can, but I can't really go very far. You might need a stretcher. She was just hit by a stun-beam. Should be fine if it worked as intended, but better be safe...." responds Nick, glad the woman is serious.

    "Help him along to the hospital, around the edge of the sanctuary there and then past the lot. I'll get a stretcher sent out for her."
    Go! This could, maybe, be an emergency.

    Then Tavlii launches into a prayer to de-stun, de-hold, de-slow, and otherwise lift implausible status effects.

    Probably because she got shot in the face with a phaser.

    Steve is helped along to the hospital!

    Thank you, officer. I think that Fortuna's quick administration of the antitoxin took care of any danger from that dart...

    It is a good thing you knew of this place... I have certainly never heard of it before.

    Fortuna gives her head a shake. "Just a few minor lightning burns. I should be fine," she replies.

    Though...

    Honestly she's more concerned about all her equipment that got left behind.

    Some of that stuff is expensive!

    Hopefully no one steals it while she's gone.

    "It might be a good idea to find out who those people where and why they had your technology, Steve," she says. "Maybe they're some new faction that's violently opposed to the application of scientific rigor in public environments?"

    That was probably a joke.

    Yup, nothing eventful (unless you count the utterly non-Pokémon universe children playing with a vulpix: a pet that can set things on fire is cool beyond belief... unless you're one of the teachers)

    Steve tries to be patient while the healers clean grit and gravel out of his wounds

    Ow... yes, I agree, Fortuna, and that's what I was telling Nick: they must have stolen one of the earlier designs, because we never have made very many of the units at all - they're still experimental and unfinished.

    dangit!


    Sorry, sir... I'm being as gentle as I can

    Steve shakes his head

    Not you, sorry. I just realized that we should have grabbed one of the units those attaclers had - then I'd know which generation it was. I'm guessing it's the one before last... we had a lot of new hires that didn't stay long: I bet it was one of them.

    Okay, so the monster is fine.
    "You should be okay now. Feel free to follow me, or wait here."

    As Tavlii takes flight and heads over to the hospital area. Whoever's on duty will probably apply far too much magic in the healing process when they should have mundane antidotes somewhere.

    Fortuna frowns a bit at that tidbit of information.

    "I still have some of my equipment back at the park," she admits. "Things I would really rather not have to replace if I can avoid it. I could fly back over and retrieve everything I can. It would be in and out and Nick can back me up for cover," Fortuna suggests. "Just in case the goons send any more goons. If I'm fast enough I should be able to collect our gear before they even realize that I'm there."

    That and she could build up some pretty considerable magical charge on the flight over and employ it on any agents loitering about and being awful.

    The healers have been learning! At least they're cleaning and disinfecting Steve's wounds before piling on the spells.

    He looks concerned

    I understand not wanting to leave the equipment... my tools aren't exactly inexpensive or easily replaced, either. But those guys were not... I dunno... just be careful.

    Fortuna offers a reassuring smile. "You don't need to worry about me. My home universe was pretty dangerous by all accounts. Getting shot at while trying to collect supplies was more or less normal."

    Post apocalyptic worlds sure are lousy.

    "I'll be back in a flash with our gear and some of theirs, too. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out where that leak came from. And maybe who they are, too."

    Trouble!

    That's who they are.

    She gives a nod to Nick. "Alright, let's get going. I'll be flying in high and coming down fast once you're in position near the park."

    With that she spreads her wings and takes off! Though not at full speed right away. That would cause some unpleasant breezes in the temple.

    Steve sighs as the healer finishes up and gives him a cup of herbal tea.

    I think that you would be best served by some rest, sir. A healing spell could mask a concussion and leave you open to more serious long term effects than if we keep a watch on you tonight.

    Cienwen notices the bottle while tending the water-lilies, and pulls it out of the water.

    How odd.

    There's also, on closer examination, more in the bottle. A shiny green bauble rattling around, and many grains of sand, and a twig. If someone has a way to notice it, the bauble is quite magical and complex in extra dimensions, and the twig is a fragment from a palm-tree, still fresh-broken enough to be alive.

    Cienwen takes the bottle inside, where Felina is on duty by strange coincidence (perhaps with Tavlii there)

    Your pardon, priestesses... this bottle appeared in the garden pond, and seems to be from someone here

    Felina reads the note and squeaks

    Oh, no! Arlem!

    Nick was surely healed of his bruises - no sense waiting around for those!

    Well... no... it looked rather more inconvenienced than desparate.

    She rattles the bottle around

    Sand and a palm stick? I assume he's somewhere tropical... But what's that marble? It looks weird.

    "Thank you Cienwen!"
    Tavlii bows in return, wings wide, and then watches Felina.

    The marble sparks as it's moved around, and both watching should have proud and/or fearful memories spring to mind.
