Melia's feet pounded the scorched ground towards the wrecked fighter, she could see as she got closer she could make out Teela's huddled form over Shadow through the thick smoke, her ears ringing. Instead of slowing down as she got to Shadow and Teela she dropped into a slide popping up on a single knee next to them,  "SHADOW, TEELA CAN YOU HEAR ME!" she shouts knowing us very likely their ears are ringing also and possibly have ruptured eardrums from the shock of the blast. One hand reaches for Teela's huddled form over Shadow the other scrambles in her bag for the portable scanner

   Melia  reached the  two...  Teela's  wings   were   wounded by some  shards of  Metal .   they were  Getting up.. the pain  from the Wings   Evident.

  Shadow looked around, he was as  angry as anyone has every seen him..  he   gave a hand to   Teela,..thank you... there   a damn good chance i don't get out  in time if i had to keep blasting and Kicking..

 Hos  left arm hung  a little  Loose..he looked at  Melia  and  pointed to it....slam it back into place...  the   SEC, Kira  and   Admiral  stood up...

 Shadow  looked at the Admiral.. HAck had  a look for  angry mixed  with relief.

  ..he put  me in this  thing... I would have been in  one of the others...I can only assume, he knew it would  crash.. don't know how he knew the POD  wouldn't work..

 ..They have  Him....according to  Nil, Zob beat him  about......

   Let's Go back... Mack sure Teela gets  treated

 what about your head?

 Shadow took off his  helmet, there  was   blood in a line,, from the impact point  with the console.

 Its Good..Melia  can check me at the   PG Med Tech.. least the helmets  were made  Right..  he looked at the ehad  Gear  in side.." Foxmoor  Industries "

 well..that explains it... I gather you know what my recommendations for the fighters  are...

 Hack chuckled,..you didn't get to flu  a Mantis yet?

  jerking his  Thumb to Melia  who is  removing  shards from Teela,..if she clears me.. I will..if not.. I'll test mine out when  they get to the Hermes

 he looked at Kira,..hey?... how do you like the new Mechs?... shouldn't you be running around shoot things?

  Hack   helped  Melia with Teela, who...except  fore  Blood   wings  and  missing feathers...looked    rather well.

  Hack Opened the COMs   to give is  sit Rep
