[Launch Bay. Cambot is hovering near Maes as the man stares off. He is standing near one of the pods and it looks like he had been about to launch but why will have to wait. Maes closes his mouth and turns to Cambot]

Uh...guys. Please tell me this isn't a further delusion from the ghost vision thing going on. I mean, if it was I'd already be dead, but...here.

[He grabs cambot and turns him towards what WOULD be the open bay doors and the vastness of space...but instead it's a forest. Maes then turns Cambot back to himself]

It wasn't like that before, right? I mean, Pinkie I've seen you go FLOATING out there. We're supposed to be in SPACE, not, well, in some forest.

[The illogical nature of it all might start to be getting to Maes.]

Comments

[yabigfurball]

[That was a good question. She did know to stay away from the electric charge...if she just had her brush, then maybe she could direct some of that charge away from the fence. She looks back up at Maes with a reassurance that she knows it's dangerous.]

[Yes, whatever this is for, it's to keep out (or in) something important. She doesn't hear the sounds of the moving creature anymore, so Ammy just picks a direction and starts off around it. Hopefully they'll find an opening in it soon.]

[dadandgone]

[They walk for awhile, following the fence and not really seeing any changes. Maes resisted the urge to start whistling or something. Instead, he kept his ear out for any movement from the thing they had been chasing.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy kept her ears perked for any unusual sounds as well. It seemed like whatever they were chasing either jumped the fence or vanished some other way, and that's even more unsettling than them finding it...]

[Finally, they come to what looks like the gate of the fence, although it is chained and padlocked. They can tell from the gate and chains that they're on the inside of the fence.]

[There's a sign posted above the gate, and barely legible are the words NATIONAL NATURE PRESERVE - KEEP OUT]

[dadandgone]

[Maes stopped at the sign, frowning slightly as he tried to process what it meant...it didn't make any more sense than anything else he had encountered and he shook his head]

Okay...so we're on some kind of private nature reserve. Why is a space ship in the middle of a nature preserve? It's not exactly something to be preserved, is it?

[yabigfurball]

[This makes even less sense to Ammy, too. Shouldn't nature be preserved anyway? Why would you need to fence it off to do that...especially an electric fence?]

[Ammy glances back up at Maes with a confused and helpless look. She has no answers to those questions, either.]

[dadandgone]

[Maes stares at it a little longer before sighing.]

We should probably head back. This isn't going to tell us much unless we find a park ranger or whatever it was we were chasing.

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy sighs too...she was really hoping they could find out more from this. But without her powers or someone else they can ask for help, there's not much they can do against a huge electrified fence.]

[She nods, and turns to head back on the path they took, since Maes was smart enough to mark it.]
