Donovan: brahmin a two headed cow, radstag a two headed deer, deathclaw a large lizard that's hard to kill 9 to 10 feet tall. Their meat is okay and their eggs make good omelettes. We scavenge whatever prepackaged, canned, preserved food was left from before the war. And there is a lot of it years later. Pork and beans is one of my favorite. MREs too....we still have plenty of nuka cola left too.... There's plenty more we scavenge or hunt, but... Yeah you get the picture.

Janri: I don't know... I haven't been here since... he died. I left for the federation and never looked back. But it is strange. This used to be a pretty popular tourist attraction for Orion.
*The whole area feels off to Valen, some eerie sensation creeping up on her. There are people milling about, mostly other Orions, but none of them seem to pay them any mind.*
***
*Alessa's body is resting upon an altar, the room having been set up similarly to the one back at her home. Alessa is still just as burnt as before, little to no effort has been put into treating her wounds. A chill runs down Lythe's spine as she can feel it. Some"thing" is growing in Alessa's womb, it feels powerful even at this stage. Alessa reaches out a hand for the box, her voice just as raspy as before*
Alessa: Hurry... there's not much time...
*Suddenly Lythe hears a loud air raid siren and the room begins to peel away as the hellscape takes over, spreading from Alessa herself*
Alessa: I can stall them...

Reina: Krys is a good cook, but I'd probably have to help manage a business like that. I'd offer to tell you some about over here, but I get the feeling you know most anything I could tell you*
T'Lera: What is it? *she looks confused*
***
Kinkoshi: How could food like that still be good after so long? What kind of preservatives did your people use?
(it's not what kind, it's how many...like, that pie you see in the port-a-diners in the commonwealth have to basically be nothing BUT preservatives and chemically-created flavorings to still look the way it does after 210 years
you can actually get a lesser effect from mcdonald's - people have left one of their burgers for 20 years and the bun and patty were still basically intact, though MD claims it's because of how they were stored by the people who did the experiment)

valendria: i odnt like the feel of this place.... nothing feels right here. *she says as she walks looking around for any eyes on them.*
*****
lythe: *she doesnt look like shes in good shape. practically on the verge of passing out from blood loss as she barely makes it over to alessa handing her the box covered in her bloody hand prints.* d-do what you have to......
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
*Valen can tell they're being watched but she doesn't see anyone, its like she can feel the eyes on them even if she can't see them*
Janri: It feels... *she shudders, pulling herself closer to Valen as they walk, momentarily forgetting about her fear of being too close to her*
***
Alessa: Thank you... The flauros... *she grips it in her hand as tight as she can and squeezes it, power flowing into the the box for a moment before it lifts up, floating above Alessa. Suddenly a large beam emanates from it directed at her body, Alessa screaming in pain as she uses her power to rip her soul in two. Lythe can sense it all as Alessa's body seems to become covered with her own darkness, her anger, her hatred but at the same time the infant God within her seems to be paused, trapped and unable to grow thanks to what she's done. Reality begins to warp around them as Alessa changes their location, pulling them deeper into the hell scape.*
Alessa: *she is talking in a perfectly normal voice despite her ruined body* I'm sorry you got hurt... our time is almost done... *Lythe blacks out for a moment, waking up with her wound healed and in the middle of a cemetery. Nearby Alessa looks fully healed but its not really her, its an Astral projection, but in her arms she holds a baby, a baby that emanates warmth and light* I will suffer... to protect everyone. But still... this part of me deserves better. They'll be here soon, they'll take care of her until its time.
*She sets the baby down in a carefully chosen spot, its cries echoing out into the light fog, just enough for a couple nearby to hear. Alessa comes over and gives Lythe a hug*
Alessa: I can't see much... but I'm glad someone like you is around... I don't know if I'll see you again. But thank you.

Seventeen: Shes got a point.
Reina: I can think of something I've done that probably wouldn't count as normal. *she sounds a little teasing while rubbing a finger on her chin*

Kinkoshi: I'm not too familiar with many earth cuisine so I'm not sure what pork and beans is. But I am partial to hamburgers.
Donovan: it's just bits of Pork, in beans, with like... A BBQ sauce inside a can.

Jadzia: I don't think that the events in 2399 are really relevant to the crew of one ship. Especially when that crew hadn't even joined Starfleet or were in the Academy at the time. I know I, and Krystal, were ensigns in 2409, fresh out of the academy, when Vega Colony happened...
*closes her eyes for a moment*
Our fates since then... were... drastically different...

marrok: did yours end the same way ours did? Oh retreating, the beacon shut down before mecha-cthulhu could fully manifest in realspace and admiral picard dying and getting transferred to a synthetic body? though, i think i would have preferred captain riker fought that fleet then and there, because all those ships gave starfleet big trouble later on down the line with taris and sela's respective power plays

Donovan: brahmin a two headed cow, radstag a two headed deer, deathclaw a large lizard that's hard to kill 9 to 10 feet tall. Their meat is okay and their eggs make good omelettes. We scavenge whatever prepackaged, canned, preserved food was left from before the war. And there is a lot of it years later. Pork and beans is one of my favorite. MREs too....we still have plenty of nuka cola left too.... There's plenty more we scavenge or hunt, but... Yeah you get the picture.
