First topic message reminder :

The Kevali inhabit vast cavern systems beneath the surface of their hostile planet. The twin suns constantly boring down on the surface have created a harsh desert environment. The days are long, the nights longer (the normal day lasts 36 hours). The intense heat of daytime and the bitter freezing cold of evening drove the Kevali underground centuries ago.

Phosphorescent algae provides an ambient glow, while oil lamps set into carved niches in the walls provide most of the dim light.

The capital city of Andhakara'a is built around an inky black subterranean river, the water is mostly drinkable...

The air is stale, it's crowded and the air is filled with the sound of tools and working.
It never seems to stop.

Christine nodded and stood, going to find a terminal to make her calls from. She smiled at the message she found waiting on all terminals, sending in her call for a ship to pick them up then going back to Kaliyani and Jerral so she could tell them

Kaliyani sat on the floor very gently stroking Jarral's hair as he slept, she really did seem to have somewhat maternal feelings toward the kid. She looked up at Christine. "What did you find?" She asked cautiously.

Chistine smiled as she sat beside her again "Max and the others have a full ship of both races. They have sent out an alert that our people will pay the cost of any of your people found and brought to our homeworld, or to send ships for them ourselves. There is a ship on the way here to pick us up, though it will take a while to reach us. Three days, but we have enough to pay for a room to stay in while we wait."

Kaliyani's good eye widened. "that is... " She was lost for words. People had survived, many many had died, but some had survived and that filled her with cautious hope. "Yes, let us find a room." She bowed her head. "I think I would like to sleep." or try to, she wasn't sure she could quite comprehend what had happened.

Christine nodded and moved to help get Jerrel up so that Kaliyani could get up and they could find a room for a couple of days.

Jarral murmured in his sleep but he was so utterly exhausted he didn't wake.
Kaliyani would follow christine in solemn silence.

Christine found a inn that she could get to without going 'outside' to get caught in the sunlight that filtered through. She got them connecting rooms that had two beds each, just so they could each have one.

Kaliyani wouldn't leave the young Ishvara's side, so once he was settled into bed she sat with him, looking fretful and worried and exhausted.

"Rest" Christine said gently, making sure the doors were locked then going to the other room to sleep herself. She had ordered a meal that would fit their diet to be delivered when asked for.

Kaliyani would eventually rest, but not in the bed. She rested her head on the mattress the Ishvara rested on and slept like that. Unwilling to stray out of arm's reach, at all.

Christine woke several hours later and would go to check on the two. She chuckled softly and moved the other bed close then moved Kaliyani to that bed so she could be close and rest easy

Jarral stirred in his sleep and opened one eye, he startled, then recognised Christine and looked down at where Kaliyani was sleeping heavily albeit rather awkwardly with her head on the foot of the bed.

"Where are we?" He asked quietly.

"We are in a spacestation, I got us a room for the time we are here. Some of my people are on the way to pick us up" Christine said gently "They are looking for others that have used your ability to shift space to get away."

Jarral stared at her and rubbed his eyes, he was still exhausted. "Do you believe they go away?" He tilted his head. "Your companions?" He frowned and looked for a moment a little lost before he spoke in a hollow, frightened tone "I... cannot feel her presence any longer."

"Yes, they left a message for anyone else that escaped to meet on my home world, and offered to pay travel costs to bring any of your people found there too." Christine said then settled beside him, gently touching his hair. "I'm sorry" She didn't like that lost tone in his voice.

He flinched at the touch, then nodded. "It is.. not your fault." He frowned deeply. "I do not understand why she did this."

Christine sighed softly and looked away, frowning also "Perhaps it is what she wanted all along, her freedom?" She looked to him again then shrugged "I do not know her or her ways enough to say for certain, but that is what it seems like to me."

Jarral shook his head and drew his knees up, he looked miserable. "how... how many survived? Do you know?"

Christine shook her head and moved her hand to rub his back "No, I'm sorry about that. I do know that the ship is over-full, and they sent the message out for those who folded space to get away, so there were some that got away. It could take a while to find all of them."

"And the outcasts..." Jarral mused. He shook his head, looking pained. "I do not know what to do."

Christine frowned and looked to him "You have time, the transport won't be here for a couple of days and it's at least three days back to my world from here. Fate may not be with you anymore, but you do have friends" She said, indicating herself and Kaliyana.

Jarral glanced to Kaliyani and frowned. "She is not my friend, she is my advisor. " He spoke flatly, fidgeting with a stray strand of hair that had come loose from his braid.

Jarral didn't quite look like he believed that.

Kaliyani murmured in her sleep.

Jarral watched her thoughtfully. "Should we move her?"

Christine looked to Kaliyani and chuckled softly, moving to get the other female on the other bed.

Kaliyani mumbled and stirred, waking up as Christine tried to pick her up. "Ma h'da?" She spoke in her native tongue, groggy and disoriented.

Jarral spoke softly back to her in Kevali and she nodded.

"Aam Ishvara." Kaliyani murmured, letting Christine help her into bed and curling up, falling back to sleep quickly.

Jarral frowned, shaking his head at her words.

Christine got her settled and covered before sitting again. "Do I dare ask what she said?" She asked with a chuckle
