"H-hi...Is that another sister of yours?" Seras asked. She saw Emilv, but didn't know how to react, so she gave an awkward wave and started to cover her face and look away.

[color=006d5b]"Electromagnetic force is like microwaves and shit, right?"[/color] Matilda asked.
"Yes, this is Winona." EMily said, nodding.
<color=green>"How do ya' do?" She said, curtseying to Seras.
<color=brown>"And I am Sara." She bowed in her long leg-length dress.
"Well, microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. There are many other kinds. Radio and light are two other common forms of EM radiation. EM also helps with atomic bonds between atoms to form molecules. As well as drive the electricity in wires and electronics. And is responsible for lighting and static electricity. Pretty much anything electrical and magnetic you can think of has its origins there."

"Nice to meet you both." Seras said. She went to shake their hands, but then looked at EMily again and decided against it. She the smiled awkwardly and hurriedly left. She then went with Faro for a snack. She then instructed him to put it somewhere.
[color=006d5b]"Oh. That sounds pretty cool."[/color] Matilda replied. [color=006d5b]"What about those nuclear ones?"[/color] she asked. When Seras apparently didn't notice Matilda, she raised an eyebrow. [color=006d5b]"That was the girl you called a murderer, right?"[/color]
Not yet Seras. In time.
<color=brown>"Well, the nuclear ones are based around the atomic scale. So an atom is one of the smallest components of matter you can have. Roughly a million of them can fit on the head of a pin. Dividing a slice of cheese in half roughly 90 times will also get you the same scale as an atom. At the center of an atom is it's nucleus, and it's held together by the strong nuclear force that works against the electromagnetic force that tries to rip it apart. It is the force that I use."
<color=green>"The weak nuclear force is what I use. It controls decay in some atomic nuclei as well as decays of other particles."
"That was Seras. Her history is a bit complicated with us." She said, wanting to tell a succinct way of telling their relationship with her.

[color=006d5b]"Wow. So, if you don't mind me asking, why do your powers make you go colourblind?"[/color] Matilda asked Sara.
Gwen put a guilty look on her face as she turned to Sara.
<color=purple>"Oh that! Right. From the Braille tests." Her taller sister shook her head.
<color=brown>"Anyways, it's an effect that is supposed to represent the color neutrality model used to explain how quarks work in mesons and baryons. At least that's how my dad interpreted it. We are not quite sure why it's present. However the only people we would know who would have that information are long gone as they disappeared after they revealed they were the ones responsible for giving these powers to us."
She took a deep breath.
<color=brown>"Regardless. Quarks are the components of particles called mesons and baryons. Protons and neutrons are baryons that make up atomic nuclei for example. They are particles composed of three quarks. Mesons are composed of two quarks. In order to help explain why no one has ever seen a quark by itself, physicists made up this abstract model that uses color. And any combination of quarks has to be color neutral. For example in a proton, the three quarks are labelled as red, green, and blue. And they add up to be white. Because of this, the study of the strong nuclear force is called quantum chromodynamics."

[color=006d5b]"I see."[/color] Matilda said, having pretty much blanked on all the sciency science talk.
After a flush of the toilet, the washing of hands, and a heavy sigh, Sophia slowly opened up the door as she looked outside and then stepped out once she found the coast was clear. Needless to say she was a little surprised to see Victoria standing close by the bathroom. "Uh... d-did you need to use it?" Sophia asked awkwardly, moving out of the way of the door for her in case the answer was yes.
"So then... you were waiting for me to finish in there so you could... keep guarding me or something?" Sophia asked, guessing that must be what Victoria was wanting to do. She still wasn't completely composed, but Sophia seemed a little bit more like herself.
Previously, in Bristol
Alain ran outside as he heard people yelling outside, only to see knights riding flying horses approaching. He smiled at the thought of defeating both of them single handedly, and raised his hammer as he began charging the lightning rune on his hammer. Right before he let the attack loose, however, the archer shot an arrow at one of the ships, startling Alain and causing him to drop the hammer, cancelling the spell. He stood and watched for a few seconds as the fight continued, then panicked again and began to run away towards the city. As he ran, he was unaware that he was still charging the lightning rune, and eventually ended up shocking himself on accident. The shock was about what a taser was capable of, and caused him to conveniently fall down behind a rock, out of view from the others.
Roland was fighting and stuff, but once again his bullets had little effect. He was the only one who noticed Alain falling down, and ran over to check on him. He crouched down to make sure he wasn't going to die or something, and conveniently did this right as the ships were preparing to take off so nobody could see him.
And so Alain and Roland were left behind in Bristol, totally not just because their writer was no longer available to participate in some thread or anything.
[hr]
Presently, in Bristol
Roland spent most of the time leaning against a tree and silently looking off in the direction that the ships flew off to, while Alain sat on the opposite side of the tree, looking down to the ground in shame from what he had done in the battle.
After several hours or however much time had passed, Alain stood up and walked to face Roland, dreading the conversation but knowing that it had to happen.
"So, um... I kind of messed up back there, didn't I?" Alain said while nervously crossing his arms across his chest.
Roland responded only with a glare at Alain, showing more anger and disapproval than any words could have expressed.
"Right... [sub][sup]right[/sup][/sub]... But they'll come back for us, right? They have to come back for us. I mean, they'll notice that we're missing and realize that we were left behind, and I left my stuff on the ship so that will remind them if they somehow forget. Not that they would forget anyways, because we're all friends and they remember-" Alain said, before he was interrupted as the barrel of Roland's revolver was suddenly pressed against his forehead.
[color=01A9DB]"Your cowardice caused this. You have forgotten the face of your father, Alain. Even though you share the name of one of my old Ka-mates, you do not share anything else. You are hardly worthy of the bullet that would kill you if I pulled this trigger. Either fight in future battles, or stand back while we do so. But if you cause problems like this again due to your cowardice, I will not hesitate to shoot you on sight."[/color] Roland threatened, not intending to follow through with this threat but rather trying to scare some sense into Alain. [color=01A9DB]"Now get out of my sight."[/color]
Alain did as he was told, retreating back to the other side of the tree, hands shaking from fear that Roland had instilled in him.
Now that Alain was no longer a distraction, Roland thought of possible ways to contact the rest of the group. He was unsure if he was strong enough with The Touch to send a message to the rest of the group, but realized that he had no other option. He concentrated on the simple message of "left behind" and attempted to send it outwards, but it would likely not be strong enough for most of the group to perceive it. However, Shara, with her reading of Weaves and stuff, may be able to hear the message as a faint voice in her head. Or maybe someone would find the rune and carving tool that Alain left behind in the cargo bay of Dave's ship and realize that he was left behind. Or something like that.
"N-not really, no." Sophia shake her head. "It's just a bit weird having someone... wait for me to... you know? Go?" Sophia answered back, the strangeness of the situation raising as Sophia wasn't entirely sure what to make of the situation.
You are spending some time meditating when you hear a distant call. You focus on it, and you realise that it conveys the feeling of abandonment. It takes you an hour of meditation to fully understand the call, and you then know it is from somebody of the group that was left behind in Bristol. Once you exit your meditation, feeling somewhat tired, you tell the XCOM escort that you need to make a quick detour to England and will rejoin them once you have finished there. While you suspect they don't like it, they do allow your ship to speed up. You reckon that within the hour you will land in England.

Aboard the Skyranger it is becoming increasingly doubtful if the injured heavy will survive. Out of desperation, they send a transmission to Dave's ship, asking if they have anyone who can take care of critically injured people.
