Not long after there was a grove of trees, and beyond that Swash's crashed skybase. The Rinamians gathered in a line, watching as the uneasy Sermekans worked. *The Beta boys both came to an abrupt halt as soon as they got a visual on the sky base. Speedy looked around at the ground for a moment before settling on a safe place to land, cutting off the power to his jetpack. Pisces remained hovering in the air, eying the base with a patiently critical stare.* Never seen that before. How about you? Pisces: *Patiently* I live in the ocean, Speedy. What do you think? No, I've never seen it before. I had no idea their base was so close. *Studies it some more* I wonder if this is the one that was mentioned in the meeting….*He pauses for a moment, and then turns around.* Pisces: Well, we saw what we came to see. Now we know. There's a base out here. Let's go home. That's it? Pisces: Yes. What else did you expect? We're late for a family meeting as it is. And I don't know about you, but I'm not going out near a base unless I have to, certainly not without being invited. We can't afford any more trouble. The idea is to lay low and stay out of the way. We can come back later after the meeting, if it's agreed upon and if we ask them first and they say yes. How would you feel if you were busy fixing something so important and a stranger strolled up and started watching you or being a distraction? *Sighs* Alright, alright. You've made your point. Let's get going. *They both leave the way they came, Pisces having Speedy take the lead.* The Rinamians began approaching the Sermekans, and the closest of the working robots stopped moving before a few took defensive positions.

Are you sure we should just leave like this?
Yes.
Pisces, it looks like something is going on over there…
I'd forgotten how persistent you are. Speedy, we're leaving.
You just think I'm going to get in trouble. What if I go back and see what's going on, and you wait here and monitor the situation? That way, we won't be in the dark.
…
What?
…I'm trying to figure out if you're being patronizing or sincere.
*Sounding somewhat insulted and very impatient* What?
Never mind. Fine, go. I'll wait here, but I'm not going over there unless I have to.*Speedy gives Pisces a look, but uses a teleportation amulet to take a shortcut home. Pisces moves out of the way of the road and watches from a distance.*

Re:Kana: "Swash is inviting us closer so she can explain something about it. Bad idea or no? I'm not actually there in person at the moment, Pisces is there by himself at this second…" —C
Re:Swash: "Wouldn't want to be a bother, Progenitor, if it's a military base of sorts. It sounded like you guys were busy. But I'll let them know and see what they say." —C

Re: Kana: "See you there." *Cardinal sighs but gives a faint smile. He then starts to grin, apparently amused by a sudden thought.* ("We gotta stop meeting like this"? Ha. Sounds like something out of a TV show, but I'm not sure she'd get the reference.) I'll be back later. Keep Speedy out of trouble. *He warps off.* -*-*- *Meanwhile, Snow leads Tobias on a chase through the residential parts of town, bothering Klavier along the way to tell the energetic prosecutor that he's going on an adventure. He eventually ends up heading out to where Pisces is, skipping along in the air with Tobias in slightly annoyed but close pursuit. Cardinal flies over the road on his windboard, broadcasting his whistle's tune on the wind. They all meet up near Pisces, who looks on at the commotion rather placidly.* Pisces: Oh, hello, big brothers. Didn't expect to see any of you turn up. Change of plans. Pisces: Speedy's gonna think you purposefully shut him out from having any fun. *Looks at the base off in the distance* Why would he find being around so many people enjoyable? Aw, come on! You love radio and making announcements that lots of people can hear. c: That's different, it's not in person… You know, you can go back if you want. I'm staying~ I'm not leaving him behind. Then I guess you're coming along. Mnergh… *Looks on innocently* ~ Pisces, you should head on home. The dragons will be upset if you're gone too long. Pisces: That's true enough. *Nods* I'll see you guys later. I guess with all you gone again, I'm sort of in charge… at least of family affairs. *Points at Cardinal slowly but unwaveringly* This does mean, that if you don't come back and don't answer calls, I will come and haul you out of there if I suspect there is trouble. Just don't worry anyone too much. *Waves and swims off* *Watches him leave* … (He's grown a bit more assertive lately. Good for him.) Shall we get going? Yeaaaaaaah! *Cardinal continues to fly down the road toward the base, this time with his brothers on his shoulders and playing the rock variation of his signature tune to declare their approaching and pending entrance to the scene.*

The Rianmians from before were helping with repairs and the camp site.
