The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

"Oh, a mind and body controlling slug from another planet that tried with its friends to help take over the ship," Katara said. "Or so I'm told. I wasn't here for that part. But Xander didn't want that to happen, and neither did Sam's crew...and when you get down to it, I didn't either. Still, the crew has to try and stick together when we can. But last I checked, Xander was okay."

"We had mind and body controlling slugs on board? That's so...B-grade horror movie of this place." She wrapped her arms around herself. "Are they still around? The yeerks?"

"Believe me, there was nothing entertaining about it," Katara said. "In my world, and yours too, something like that is dangerous. On a ship full of super powered heroes, an enemy like this isn't one that you want still alive."

But even saying that aloud didn't sound right.

"Just one," Katara said. "The one we tried to kill."
