Mina nodded, then started checking every spot in that room.

In the cafeteria, Diego's first reaction to the announcement was to say, "It wasn't me. Whatever happened, I didn't do it."

[Silent_Wolf]

"We know, we know." Yuni just continued to eat her lunch.

One of the larger areas in the vent system was above the cell blocks; the guards had already gone through it, but there was a faint scuffling in the northwest vent that connected to it.

Ooc: Maps of this level of the ship and its vents are finished, they're on the first page in my second post.

Eventually, Mina checked the entire room; it was empty. She sighed, then went up into the vents. She didn't need a light; as a draconian, she already had good vision on the dark. She concentrated on making as little noise as possible; the guards had sounded like a herd of elephants, which is probably why the escapee remained hidden, because he could hear them coming.

Not her! She'd be as quiet as he was (why she was still labeling it a 'he', she didn't know; she believed women just as capable of these sort of things as men), and she's be the one to catch him.

Eventually though, the footsteps stopped. Guards could still be heard in various areas of the vent system, but they were far off.

The man in the vents had jumped up onto the ceiling; the vents being large enough for a full grown Avian man to stand in, there was a mess of wires and metal bars across the top of the vents in some places and that was where he was holding onto. He stayed completely still, though he'd tilted his head back slightly so he could see, and the welder's goggles he usually wore had been tossed on the floor further down the hall. Because he was up on the ceiling, the surreal shine in his eyes wasn't visible.

[spirit_queen]

When mina looked out of some opening or other to check where she was, she saw the goggles. He dind't get out of the vent system, did he? She paused a moment.

[Silent_Wolf]

That was when his arms let go of the metal bars in the vent and let him hang with his feet; he grabbed her around the waist and clamped a hand over her mouth to stifle screams. "Shh. Don't scream. I'm not going to hurt you." His voice was fairly low, nearly gravely, and it wasn't threatening.

[spirit_queen]

"I don't do screaming." Mina said after she'd jumped a little. Of course, behind the hand, this sounded more like "uh dnnfdfooo sfeem"

[Silent_Wolf]

There was a faint chuckle. "I just have a few questions and I wasn't about to ask people who have guns and less brains than a bioraptor." He loosed his grip on her mouth a little. "Who's the captain of the ship? And I don't mean the Draconian sub captain."

[spirit_queen]

"That's the thing. I'd tell ya, but I don't have a clue. Even Subby doesn't know." Mina often referred to the sub-captain as 'subby'. XD
