(OOC: Void... That's not exactly the best idea... Spectrobes are called creatures of light... Not sure how litteral that tag to their name is, but I wouldn't take any chances if I were you.)
Kisara mulled things over a bit, but seeing as Elena probably read the Spectrobe's mind, or something like that, she trusted her words, and motioned Onyste to walk over to Seela, who perked up.
"Alright, we'll trust you for now, but one wrong move and I'll slit your throat. I'm still on edge a bit after that battle I mentioned." Kisara said to the Rygazelle, who gulped and nodded her head in understanding.
"Uh, this way..." Seela told them, and started running again, Kisara urge Onyste forward at an equal pace.
Seela lead them to a secluded spot that few had gone through, and came to a clearing that looked like it was artificially created. Seela walked close to the center, and started pacing around, looking thoughtful.
"Ok, I know its here... somewhere... but I always have a bit of a hard time remembering where... Maybe the entrance is located here... no... here? Maybe... no... Argh..."
The Rygazelle shook her head, and looked to the others. "Give me a few seconds, I'll show ya somewhere you can hide until this whole thing of whatever attacked ya blows over... or until she's healed up. It should be around here somewhere..."
Seela then paused, raising a paw to her head and scratching it.
"Or is it in the other clearing?" she asked herself, pacing around the center again.

((Void: *forms teeth, grins* My boy... it all depends on which source is larger... and I can guarantee that there's more to me in my solid form than there is to her... Elena: Ignore him.. he's always like this around this time of year..))
Void grumbled aloud at Seela's lack of memory, startling Barias. Elena glanced at him and smirked, muttering,
"Oh, that's right... you haven't seen him yet."
"Seen... who?" Barias asked, leaning away a bit.
Void gave a dark chuckle as Elena replied,
"Oh... just my 'shadow'..."
Barias blinked, did a double-take at the anthro's shadow, then shrugged, edging away from the patch of darkness. After a few minutes more of waiting, and Seela still hadn't found what she was looking for, Barias barked,
"HURRY UP! Those damned things could be all over us at this point, and we may not even know it!"
That thought caused Elena to shift uneasily.

Seela turned to Barias and barked back, "Shutty! This is harder then it looks you know! If you think you can find it so fast, be my guest!"
The Rygazelle then humphed, before nearly tripping over some unseen object.
"Found it!" she needlessly called. She then tapped one of her blades on something, before a rather sizable starship decloaked. Length wise, it could probably put two destroyers placed end to end to shame. A ramp came down from the rear of the vessel, and Seela didn't let anybody get a very close look before she ushered them inside, looking in ever direction before entering the ship herself, raising the ramp, closing the hatch, and re-cloaking the vessel.
"Well, I can guarantee you one thing, regardless of equipment, nobodies gonna find this thing. On the possibility that they do, I doubt they can handle getting jolted for a few hundred thousand volts." Seela boasted with a grin. "You'll be safe here."
"So this is what you came to Earth in? Pretty fancy... How'd you get your paws on it? You don't seem to be one with a lot of cash on hand." Kisara asked.
Seela chuckled nervously, scratching the back of her head and hoping to all the high heavens that none of them were mind readers, and refused to respond to that question.

Barias slumped against the wall, mandibles all hanging and right eye twitching.
"This... this is almost the size of a Covenant destroyer! How the HELL did you get this?!" He screamed, hands twitching before his face.
As Elena paced back and forth, she laughed, then replied in an exuberant voice hiding an icy undertone,
"You stole it, didn't you?"
Barias abruptly went still, and he slowly turned his head towards Seela.
"Commendeering a craft such as this... for... personal purposes?"
His blank stare underwent a change into a steely glare as he growled,
"That qualifies for a death sentance in a lot of places...."
The Sangheili gave her that same steely glare as he waited for a response.

Seela hung her head, replying, "Yeah... I know... even if its not much of a war ship... basic and stun phasers are about all this thing has in the form of weaponry. Well, it started out as personal purposes... but then I came across a log very recently on the ship that really shook me up..."
The Rygazelle then walked over to one of the consoles, reared up to reach it better, and started typing on it with one paw, until a screen flashed with a detailed study of the Krawl, in many forms, including color and shape variations of the first Krawl that Kisara, Barias, and Chiggar fought against.
"I just realized I'd made a big mistake after I read this... Now this isn't just for my personal enjoyment... Now... Now things are getting really bad... This ship may not be much of a war vessel... but with some help, I can make it one. Go after the Krawl before they start swarming here... Not many people here have a ship thats space worthy and willing to lend it out, right?"
Kisara narrowed her eyes at Seela, "Why the sudden change in attitude for why you took the ship?"
Seela still didn't look up. "Because..." she strained out, sobbing, "Because I don't want my home world to be next! And I can't do anything about that if I die here! I know the chances are slim that they'd go straight for my home world next, but there's always a chance that they'll eventually go there!" The Rygazelle sat down, head still slumped down.
"I don't expect your help though... knowing I'm a thief and all..."
Seela then bolted for what was now her room on the ship, closing the door behind her before any body could say anything. Kisara put her hand down from lifting it in an attempt to stop the Spectrobe, then took another look at the analysis of the various types of Krawl, staying silent.

Barias snorted, pacing over to the console and stood next to Kisara, studying the Krawl types as well.
Save her homeworld.... hmph.
He sighed, then slowly removed his helmet, revealing his almost snake-like head. He stared at the piece of armor sorrowfully, thinking alound in a low mutter,
"That was one of the reasons we Sangheili disbanded from the Covenant... we knew our race would be extinct if we continued aiding in that petty religious bloodshed... we knew the truth. We wanted no part in it."
His fingers tightened on the armor, his eyes narrowing.
"It may not have been for the humans, or any other species... but damnit, we knew billions would be killed to kill trillions more..."
Dark-blue blood slowly trickled from his hands.
"We had a cause.... we wanted to save our planet... our race... and other races as well... ... ... some of us did traitorous things in the process, but it was for the greater good..."
He raised his head, then asked himself in his normal tone,
"...is this not a similar situation? ...the girl simply wants what is best for her people..."
He glanced back up at the console, then gently pushed Kisara aside and began flipping through the ship's weapons and power systems.
"This... this is nowhere near as efficient as Covenant tech.... then again, I'm from over 500 years in the future..." He muttered.
Meanwhile, Elena was speaking with Void, asking,
"The Krawl... they're active again?"
"It would seem so... hmph. Should we help the girl?"
She sighed, then slowly nodded.
"We should help however we can..."
There was a silence, and Void asked,
"... personal reasons?"
She nodded, clutching at her arm and staring at the floor.
"I... I don't want anything else to happen like what happened to my home..."
Void nodded within the confines of the shadows.

Kisara nodded to herself, agreeing with the bit of Barias' words on his little self speech that she heard. The Substitute Shinigami trekked over to Seela's room, knocking on it. Seela opened the door, looking at Kisara, who smiled at the Rygazelle.
"Don't worry... One way or another, we'll help you." Kisara told her, making Seela's expression change from one of depression to one of hope.
"Really?" The Rygazelle asked.
Kisara nodded, "Really. And I'm sure we can get a few other people to help too. It may not be many, but its still a damn good amount of help, when you consider who I'm thinking about." she finished. "Now come on, chin up, and don't fret."
Seela smiled, "Thank you... you don't know how grateful I am now..."
Kisara smirked, "I can venture a guess." was her response as the two of them walked back into the room where Elena, Void, and Barias were.
Seela inhaled, still nervous for some reason, then looked about her ship. "I wonder where we could get some parts to remake this ship for war against the Krawl. We're probably gonna need everything we can get..."
"Yeah... everythig we can get our hands on." Kisara agreed.

Barias sighed aloud as his hands danced over the control panel, images of a sort of 'bubble' encasing the ship in a 3D-render.
"Again, the only place where you can get parts would be Machinima..."
Elena grumbled at the name, then hissed,
"Do you people have to rely on him for all your technological problems?! GRAH!"
She shook her head, fuming, as she looked over some of the ship's technical layouts. Barias then glanced over his shoulder at Kisara and asked,
"Is there anyone you know who could convince him to help us out?"

Kisara sighed sadly.
"I'd be lying if I said 'yes'... I, through Solranous, know of everybody who's come into..." She paused, her eyes widening, and then she snapped her fingers, "Wait! There's one person I can think of who has a chance of convincing the droid. Chiggar's the only one here who O'Malley really respects, for reasons I don't know. He might be willing to help if she's the one who asked him... And we don't have to worry about convincing her to help us with convincing him, all we need to do is tell her its to fight the Krawl, and she'll be at our side faster then a cheetah can sprint. Assuming her reaction towards them is any indication."
She then frowned, remembering something else as well. "My daughter, Myrr, might also be able to, but that might have been a one-off thing. She got her battle suit that she uses every now and then from the droid. But I'm not sure how O'Malley views her, so it might not work. There's always the chance that it will though."
Seela blinked in shock. "We have to go talk with the crazy Villakroma who nearly BLEW ME INTO MICROSCOPIC PIECES!?" she said, beginning in a normal voice then screeching out the rest. She hung her head and sighed. "Fine, but I'm not going. She and I don't get along well..."

Barias 'hmphed' folding his arms as diagnostics scrolled down the screen.
"I'd suggest getting everyone you can... that droid was kinda pissy when he let me out..."
Elena snorted, replying,
"If you're going to go see him, count me out. I'll rip him apart if I see him..."
"Ahem. That's MY job, remember?" Void interjected.
Barias shook his head, then suddenly paused, holding up a finger.
"The droid wouldn't happen to have a connection to that lycanthrope, would he?"
Judging from (most likely) the odd stares he got, he scratched his head and muttered,
"Well.... he said something to one of his troops about finding and warning her before he left..."

Kisara furrowed her eyebrows at that.
"Thanks for the reminder, Barias. I'll go see if we can get her to come as well... but given the war thats going on right now, I seriously doubt that he's 'home' right now. For now, we should just tend to Elena's wounds, and keep the Krawl at bay until we can talk with him."
Kisara sighed to herself, "I hate just standing by though, but there's not much else we can do..."

Barias 'hmph'd at that, replying,
"As do I... but sometimes holding one's ground can be the most important thing one can do..."
Seeing as there was nothing else he could do at the moment, the Sangheili sat down against the control panel's base, sighing. He folded his arms, lowered his head onto his chest, and his breathing eventually slowed, seemingly asleep. Elena was busy with overlooking the ship's engines, and Void had seperated from her shadows and went outside. Things seemed calm... for the moment.
((pfffft.... got nothin' else ta say thar))

Kisara found herself agreeing with the Sangheili again. Sometimes it was the most important thing one could do...
'That doesn't make it any less agrivating though.' she thought to herself.
Seela sighed, before remembering something. "Uh, since you guys will obviously be staying the night, there are some guest bedrooms for ya to use." At that, she used another console to bring up a map of the ship, showing the others where the guest bedrooms were. "I'll just leave this up for you to reference back to if you need or want to." she finished, before turning into her own room.
