Roland saw Shara's ship approaching as soon as it was visible, and though he recognized the ship, he was skeptical that anyone was able to hear his message. Because of this, he hid behind a convieniently placed shrub and waited for someone to step out to make sure it was Shara piloting the ship. As the doors opened and Shara stepped outside, Roland stood up and began approaching the ship, gesturing for Alain to follow.

Alain came out from behind a nearby tree and reluctantly followed Roland, keeping his eyes focused on the ground.

You greet Roland and Alain with a raised hand, calling out asking if they are the ones who sent the message.
[hr]
The commander tells the sisters, and everyone else, to just head over towards the guards and officer, where Gwen already is. He then heads off to get debriefed.

I had woke up in Midday again, beams of light peeking through the blinds of my bedroom. I spent yet another late night sitting in my office and drowning my sorrows in liquor. Hadn't had a job in weeks. Had to buy my breakfast from one of those fruit carts, The food gave me memories of taking medicine as a kid. I put some scotch in my coffee today. It tasted like somebody hauled the coffee through fields of manure but I never drank it cause it was good though. I drank it cause it helped me forget, Helped me forget everything I saw, like the two cops that raided my neighbor, Vinny's house. They supposedly protected themselves from two drug induced maniacs. Left three kids orphaned. There were many cases like that one too, only idiots call the cops in this city anymore. After finishing my breakfast, I put on my trench coat and fedora, wearing a nice suit and tie underneath them. The trench coat and fedora were mustard yellow of course, read too much Dick Tracy as a kid. I walked out my door and ended up... Somewhere else.
And Now the thrilling conclusion
I walked into what looked like the set of one of a science fiction pulps from back in the day. I was surrounded by strange looking people. Now I wasn't taking any chances, I angered quite a few people in my day and making a first impression on these freaks wasn't at the top of my list at my moment. So I reached for my magnum revolver and pointed it at everyone in the room.
"Now I want answers and I want them now! Tell me where I am, who you are, and why I'm here! And give it too me straight or else Ole Jeremy here will have too come out of retirement!"

[color=5F04B4]"Message? What messa-"[/color]

[color=01A9DB]"Yes, I called for help while Alain was busy sulking. I'm impressed that you were able to hear it. You must be very strong with The Touch."[/color] Roland answered Shara. [color=01A9DB]"What has transpired in our absence?"[/color]

OoC: @Kirke: I read through everything I missed, so you can just say that Shara explains what happens without actually summarizing it. If you want to, of course.

The sister move over appropriately. Gwen greets them and explained the situation on the Skyranger.

<color=green>"Oh dear! I hope the two of them both make it."

<color=purple>"They probably will. Sophia's had a lot of stamina on her, despite her build."

"I suppose all we can do now is wait." EMily looked around. "It's quite a big place." And she occupied her time by looking at various frequencies of ambient electromagnetic radiation.

Matilda followed the commander's instructions as best as she could, by following the sound of the others' footsteps. Joel came out of the ship last, not looking very happy to be in the underground base. His metal arm was concealed under his coat and gloves, and the Murasama was on his belt.

You say that you were meditating at the time, and even then it was difficult. You remark that you are impressed the message could be heard at all. You quickly recount what has happened the last few days.
[hr]
The officer survived the group and then began to speak. "Good day, and welcome to XCOM HQ. I am Central Officer Bradford. I am afraid you are under arrest, accused of a number of crimes. I would not worry, as the accusers have shown themselves as murderous group with no regard for due process. The trial should be little more than a formality. However, you are still restricted to certain areas of the base. As of right now, these are the barracks and medical bay, where your friend has been taken.

One squad raised their rifles towards the newcomer, and one of them barked an order for him to lower his weapon.

Vicky shuffled out along with everyone else once she saw they were making an exit. She saw the crazy guy waving a handgun around at the dozens of guards kitted out with body armor and assault rifles, then rubbed at her shoulders as she felt they were too sore for her to try and do anything about it personally.

"Lower your weapon. We are in a military instillation." Samus said to the newcomer, before turning to Bradford. She said nothing, but the glare on her face made it clear she didn't want to be here.

The girls tensed up and then relaxed as they heard the information.
<color=purple>"Well, that's a relief in some sense."

"When and where is this trial?"

Sara turned over to Joel's direction, as his radiation caught her interest.
<color=brown>Ah, this must be Joel. I figured I would feel alpha decay from him if Winona or EMily didn't feel anything. Out of politeness of not staring at people, Sara turned back after smiling and waving.

I looked at my surroundings a bit better for a second. I was in a military headquarters... Should have put a bit more emphasis on first impressions. I dropped my revolver and kicked it towards one of the one guards
"Sorry! Sorry! I just want answers! I was teleported here or something! Thought I was gonna get jumped by some thugs or something! I wasn't even planning on shooting the gun!"
I thought it was best not too tell the guards about any other weaponry I have though. Would be in quite a bit of trouble if they found out a citizen was carrying government weapons

Roland listened carefully to Shara while Alain simply stood awkwardly nearby.

[color=01A9DB]"So Caius and Yeul have left... I feared worse when I felt Ka-Shume. At least they are still alive."[/color]

[color=01A9DB]"And you say Sam is being forced against his will to spy on us. Despite what you say, I believe a bullet to his head will be the only cure for him now."[/color]

[color=5F04B4]"Okay okay, it's great that the knights are defeated, but we're going on trial? Aw man, I knew this was gonna be trouble... I didn't even pick a side or do any fighting, so they can't put me on trial, right? I don't want to die for this!"[/color] Alain said, pacing around in a panicked way as he talked.

Roland shot a glare at Alain again, which was enough to shut him up for now. [color=01A9DB]"I am a Gunslinger. I will give my word at the trial, and this 'Ex-Come' will release us."[/color] Roland said to Shara, although Alain looked relieved apon hearing it. Roland then began entering the ship. [color=01A9DB]"There is no sense in delaying any further. Let's go."[/color]

With Sam laying down and holding his arm in place, Ultri began working on reattaching the arm, starting by reconnecting the deltoid to the tricep muscles.

[color=edc393]"If at the end of this, you could give me my sense of touch back? That would be great."[/color] Sam commented idly while staring at the surgical light above the autopsy table, his pupils not narrowing as he did.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: As soon as I'll learn how, I'll let you know." Ultri responded, continuing to work. After reattaching a fair amount of muscles and tendons, Ultri put down the instrument they held, and placed two fingers on Sam's shoulder and focused. Sensing the dark energy keeping Sam alive begining to flow through the arm again, Ultri placed one oftheir hands on the upper arm, and the other on the shoulder, then began circulating more of the energy through it.

Shadowy tendrils flowed in between the bone, muscle and tendons of the arm and shoulder, pulling the arm closer to the stump and mending the tear once the two ends touched. Once finished, Ultri pulled their hands away and looked at the result, the only evidence that the arm was severed being a faintly vissible darkened line where the cut had been. "That should do it. Try moving your arm." Ultri instructed.

Sam did so, unaware anything had changed until the arm came into his view. [color=edc393]"Looks like it worked."[/color] Sam confirmed, moving into a sitting position and flexing, then relaxing the left hand. [color=edc393]"Thanks."[/color]

"Then we should get going. I've recieved new orders." Elm chimed in, having stood by during the procedure.

[color=edc393]"Sure."[/color] Moving from the table, Sam picked up the top of the bodysuit, putting it back on after casting a glance down at himself. He then moved back through the portal with Elm, after bidding Ultri goodbye with a somewhat lazily executed salute.

"Try to stay in one piece from now on." Ultri called out as Sam left, the portal closing shortly after.

You say that you will try to free Sam if you can, but that if necessary, you will blow his head off. You step inside your ship and get it ready. Soon you are off once again, this time for the XCOM base.

"The trial will be soon, we are rushing to get it for the next available time. As for where it will be, it will be in the city of Nuremberg."

The soldiers lowered their rifles again, returning to their casual but alert stance.

I had followed this strange group when I heard the word trial, I was like a vulture waiting for it's prey to die. I only had a couple bucks left, Didn't know where I was, and pretty sure I was homeless now.
"Say, If you're having a trial then you'll need somebody to get some details. Name's Micheal Stone, Private Eye"

"Where did you want to put it?" EMily asked Faro.

Currently

"Hello there Mr. Stone. It may be a bit late to get details. It feels as though we are reaching the end of this conflict. My name is EMily. And these are my sisters Winona, Gwen, and Sara." She said, gesturing to each of them. They bowed when their name was called up.

I looked at four color coded maids with exotic hair and eye colors... Must be one of those Japanese fads. I reached into my coat and brought out a cigarette and some matches. I lit up my cigarette and breathed in it's pungent aroma
"Well if you need any help than you know who to call... Say, Any of you smoke? Always willing too share with a fine dame such as yourself."

"I appreciate the compliment, but none of us smoke." She smiled.

I still never got answers too my original questions. And a detective always gets answers one way or the other. Usually just asking is the easiest way to get information. You'd be surprised what a blunt question gets you in life. Depending on where you go, you get a blunt knife to the stomach
"So, Mind telling me where I am, Who all these people are, and why I'm here"
