The view behind the door is one of desolation. Windswept and bleak. If there was ever vegetation here, it is long gone. The air is thin and cold, acrid with smoke. Jay reached into his belt and pulls out a small rebreather and goggles, offering a set to Gav.
Stock shudders on Jay's shoulder, making soft sounds of distress. "It's okay, darling. You're safe with us."

He won't suggest rebuilding this one. Let it stand as one massive grave.

Date: 2015-10-15 08:17 pm (UTC)"As it should be", he agrees, focusing on Stock. "And if you decide to stay in Milliways, that's okay too."

Date: 2015-10-15 08:22 pm (UTC)Jay rests a hand on Gav's shoulder in thanks as they pass through the door. "We've got a lot to do."

Date: 2015-10-15 08:23 pm (UTC)"Anything I can do towards it", he says firmly, "you've got."
no subject
Date: 2015-10-15 08:33 pm (UTC)He closes the door after them, blocking out the dusty air and makes for the garage. It's getting quite late by this point. "First step will be to get them all out of the foam and onto charging docks. From there, the rest can wait till tomorrow." Not that Jay will sleep tonight.
"Can you and Stock brain-storm some way to keep them all sleeping?"

Date: 2015-10-15 08:34 pm (UTC)He nods. "I could try something with wizardry, but I might need to be here to maintain it. Stock, any ideas?"

Date: 2015-10-15 08:54 pm (UTC)Stock wakes the other four and explains in rapid bursts of data, the five of them huddling close in shared grief.
A moment later they are at Jay and Gav's side, ready to help.

Date: 2015-10-15 09:03 pm (UTC)Jay scribbles down a list of parts and hardware, giving just as quick orders to Lock and Barrel who seem to know him well enough to anticipate his needs.
no subject
Date: 2015-10-15 09:04 pm (UTC)Gavroche takes the list from him, all the way in practical mode.
"I'll just give this to Bar and bring back whatever she hands over."
no subject
Date: 2015-10-15 09:14 pm (UTC)He stops, realising how abrupt held being. Full practical mode too. "Thanks for this, Gav. You saved a lot of lives today."

Date: 2015-10-15 09:15 pm (UTC)"It's what I do", he says simply. "Just 'cause they're not flesh and blood, they're still life."
