Nergui I covered my eye and adjusted a few settings. The machinery began to slow down to minimum, lowering my temperature. I slowly sat down, knowing I'd get dizzy if I stayed standing. I listened hard for the sound of rushing air that accompanied a hovercraft. It was similar to the sound of an old air conditioning unit from the 2000's. ((remember this is in the 4200's))

Raven stayed close, holding her breath. The extra air sacks she had enabled her to do that. She wanted to respond to saywer, but knew she couldn't.

Unluckily, Sawyer and Sansa both had no skill that could help them in this situation.

Iyek My temperature was very low already, so I didn't need to worry. Jix on the other hand was warmer than usual. I hoped they might just mistake her for a deer or something. As I glanced at her she crouched down lower to the ground.

Sansa sat down next to Jix and tried to calm herself, her heart was already racing from being scared, and then falling.

Raven sat down next to Sansa silently, rubbing her back while she held her breath.

Jix I put my hand gently on Sansa's, waiting with baited breath. I saw Iyek's ears prick in the dim light. He heard it approaching, I inferred. A few moments later I heard it too. That quiet rush of air, the almost inaudible hiss.

Sansa was having trouble calming herself, but Raven and Jix were helping. She tried to refrain from thinking about the hovercraft as the noise got louder.

Raven stopped moving, still holding her breath. She felt her heart slow.

Iyek The craft passed us. But I knew that didn't mean we were safe yet- for all we knew it was just looking for a place to land. I held up a hand to signal to stay quiet, as quiet as possible.

Sansa bit her lip, almost hard enough to draw blood. Please pass us, please pass us.

Raven and Blake stayed still, not moving.

Iyek The sound cut off. I swore in my head. "Run!" I hissed. They had landed- we needed to get out of here, now.
Jix I grabbed Sansa by the hand and set off. We could get back with the others later.

"Jix!" Sansa cried out as they ran away from the group.
Sawyer grabbed Rae's arm and bolted. "Come on!"
