Lirath - The Coming Storm

 After receiving the warning the Tapestry had provided them, along the order to begin preparations from Councillor Kang, the crew had been getting ready for upcoming combat with the Ohm.

Unfortunately, the rather vague nature of the warning they received meant they had no particular way of knowing exactly when this battle would occur. Understandably, this put some of the crew on edge, but at the very least they had some prior warning that they would be facing the Ohm, rather than being thrown blind into such a dangerous situation. Combat drills, vehicle maintenance and armory inspections seemed to be regular sights for the week or so following Kang's message. Not much time to prepare, but the crew worked with what was given to them.

Eventually, however, the call came.

||Alert, Alert,|| Stacy called out throughout the ship, ||Priority One message from GIA High Command. All crew members please report to the Obs Deck. Repeat, Priority One message from GIA High Command, All crew members please report to the Obs Deck...||

Stacy kept repeating the message over and over until the crew began making their way towards the Obs Deck to receive the message.

[ooc: As implied by the post, we're assuming the crew's ICly had a one-to-two week heads-up about the battle. It was supposed to be played out, but RL timing prevented this from working out. Feel free to come up with the details of your character's preparations on your own

Also, as usual, please wait for subthreads to go up before tagging in.

Edit: It's up! Feel free to start tagging in!]

All River Song knew was that, in the end, when all the monsters and threats had been eliminated, when those bodies littered the floor - the Doctor would be safe. He would be very cross with her, but he would be alive and safe for the time being. That's how she rationalized it. So long as the Doctor lived, all of time and space was safe. She slept easier knowing that.

River stares back at him as he studies her. Knowing she's pushed his grumpy button, but he had to know. He could be cross with her for a very long time, but in the end, he always forgave her. She'd done things before, terrible things, but he always came to her on her birthday no matter what. Just like clockwork. And they would forget their bickering and just be together.

"You know you're the last." Still staring deep into his eyes - almost piercing into his very soul. Her words carry a lot of weight. "I told you, I was fighting in a war long before I knew what war was." Was she his enemy, once upon a time? Was she more then just a flirty love interest? River was and would always be complicated.

"Let's go, there's a battle to be won."
