The night was clear and starry, the air was cold and inside a Plutarkian Prison Cell, one male and one female prisoner of ‘special interest’ to the Plutarkians sat chained to the prison walls. While one was sitting back against the wall, the other was laying on his back with her head against the other’s leg,fingers entwined with the others fingers sweating out a high fever that had been refused treatment. The two prisoners,both of whom had Masters Degrees in different Graduate School Programs,were now ‘special prisoners’ of the Stink Fish Plutarkians. It hadn’t been more than two days after they were captured then the light tan female developed a fever that gradually got worse. Day by day the light tan female's fever grew worse making any hopes of warming up a far distant memory.

Diamondfire feels just how much colder Thunderstrike had become and silently thinks: Somehow some way I have got to get out of here! Thunder needs medical attention before things go south! (Hears the cell door bang open and looks up and squeezes Thunder's hand saying to him) Thunder? Tell me ya can hear me! Squeeze me hand if ya can hear me!

Thunder weakly squeezes Diamondfire's hand in response then weakly mutters: What's goin on? (Shivers saying) Oooh I'm so c-cold and s-so tired. (Attempts to sit up with what little strength she had only to feel the room spin saying) Oooh bad idea

Diamondfire eases his companion down and says: No Thunder! Don't go tryin ta sit up! Ye haven't much strength to use! (Hears the voices that were once faint grow louder until they were around the corner and says) Sounds like we're 'bout to leave here for good. How're ye holdin up? I know yer cold,I've felt the warmth drain out of yer body as the days went on.

Turbo comes bursting through the door and says: Dimaond? Thunder?

Diamond recognizes his long though dead best friend and says: Turbo? No way! I thought ye were dead! Get these things off our necks!

Turbo walks over to where Diamond and Thunder sat,inserted the key into the lock of the collar around Diamondfire's neck turning it clockwise until he heard the gears click and the collar sprang open and fell off and did the same to Thunder's collar then touched her cheeks saying: She's FREEZING! What the hell's goin on?

Diamond heaves a sigh and says: A few days after we were captured,she was pulled out and was gone for most of the day and night,I had no clue what happened to her and shortly there after she became sick. There's no medics around here and I only had a small stash of hidden medicines with me that I uhhh borrowed from Terrence during me rotation but as time went on,even those ran out and she's been battling the fever ever since.

Turbo: So THAT'S why Terrence has been angry! You're the one who stole those kits! He's blamed the new kid for the theft and has her on restrictions and does random and spontaneous counts to ensure that nothing has come up missing! He's gone so far as to garnish her wages to make up for the lost inventory! The new kid's bag is searched before and after every shift to ensure nothing 'found' it's way inside that doesn't belong to her. Right now she's with one of the others on the ship under close guard,she doesn't like it but no one trusts her because of the theft. You're gonna have a whole lot of explaining to do when we get back to Base!

Diamond heaves a sigh and says: This new lass,what's her name?

Turbo: Dunno,never bothered to learn it.

Diamond shakes his head in shame saying: Ye me friend have a lot to learn about properly addressing females. Take Thunder here,true she goes by Thunderstrike but I took the time to learn the name behind the title which is Austin. It would be more polite to take the time to introduce yerself to the new lass!

Turbo: What'm I supposed to say to the kid?

Thunder attempts to sit up and mutters faintly: Start with your given name. Not your code name but the name you were given at birth and work from there. Have you done the traditional meet 'n greet?

Diamond gently eases Thunder back against his chest saying: No Austin! What've I told ye about sittin up?

Thunder weakly: Not to do it

Diamond: Or else what'll 'appen?

Thunder weakly: I'll sap my energy reserves.

Diamond: Good now stay down! Ye've not much energy to be splashin about with!

Turbo: Meet 'n Greet who?

Diamond: Her parents,aunts and uncles,her god father her older cousin. Then again it all depends on how old the lass in question is.

Turbo heaves a sigh and says: She's barely fourteen

Diamond heaves a sad sigh and says: Meet 'n greet her family before ye make any assumptions and come to any conclusions. The last thing ya need is a very angry father on yer tail asking where his thirteen year old daughter is. Now then, are we leavin 'ere or are we gonna stay awhile? I've no meds for Austin's fever and she needs a professional to be lookin after her!

Turbo shakes his head clear and says: I can carry her on my back as far as the ship where the medic is waiting. (Drops down on his knee and says) Put her on my back and lets get out of here!

Diamondfire speaks to Thunder saying: Can ya manage to get on his back on yer own? Do ya have that much strength in yer body?

Thunder tries her luck and manages to flop onto Turbo’s back saying: I just used the last of my energy,I-I feel a bit woozy.

Turbo hikes Thunder up into a more easier way to hang on and says: Don’t worry Thunder, you needn’t worry about how much energy you used,just leave the rest to me.

Diamondfire stands up and collects their belongings and says: Let’s get out of here and get Austin to a doctor. Ye gonna be alright Aust?

Thunder groans and says: What have I asked you about callin me that? You KNOW I hate being called Aust!

Diamondfire: Sorry, I forgot about yer dislike of being called ‘Aust. Where’s the ship from here?

Turbo exits the cell and breaks into a fast walk saying: My Union Leader’s not too far from here waitin on me with the rest of the Unit. You alright Austin?

Thunder: Still cold though I’ll be alright once I get some sleep in a bed.

As time raced by,Turbo finally reached the boarding gate and with the help of his Unit Leader, eased a soundly sleeping Austin down onto a cot where he covered her up with a blanket and put a pillow under her head.

Turbo turns and says to Diamondfire: It’s been so long since I last seen you! Now you’re awful chummy with Thunderstrike there,what’s the dish between you and her?

Diamondfire chuckles and says: She’s my mate

Turbo: No way! You’re married now?

Diamondfire: Yep she accepted my psychotic babbling and said yes the night she was pulled away from me.

Turbo: You DO realize what her maiden name is don’t you?

Diamondfire: Uhh no why?

Turbo: Austin comes from money my boy! Austin’s family name is Copperstein! You’ve a whole lot of Copperstein MEN to ask before your marriage is official! It’s tradition!

Medic comes over and instantly rushes to Thunderstrike’s side and says: Austin?

Austin opens her weary and heavy lidded blue eyes and says: huh?

Medic: It’s me,Caiden!

Austin slowly recognizes her brother and mutters: Caiden! Thank god you’re alright! I’ve been worried sick about you!

Caiden sits beside Austin and leans her against him saying: Oh god I’ve been worried sick about you for months on end! You’re so cold!

Austin begins to feel weak and says: Caiden?

Caiden: Hmm?

Austin: Please lay me back down,I don’t have the energy to sit up for much longer.

Caiden gently lays his twin back against a clean pillow saying: I’ve seen you sick but not THIS sick! I’m gonna go get Colt and bring him over here! You look and sound awful!
Austin dozes off muttering: Uh-huh

Caiden gets up and swiftly walks to the back of the ship where Colt was tending to the last of the freed prisoners saying: She’s here!

Colt feels a wave of relief crash over him and says: THANK MARS! Where?

Caiden: She came in on Turbo’s back,she’s cold bro and I mean ICE COLD and extremly weak! You go talk to her and I’ll go get mom and dad and let ‘em know Austin’s safe.

Colt darts towards the front of the ship and finds his sister asleep on a cot and drops to his knees saying: Austin?

Austin opens her weary and heavy lidded blue eyes and says: huh?

Colt picks up her hand and says: Oh god Caiden was right! You ARE freezing to the touch! This isn’t a good sign! You’ve lost body heat!

Turbo walks over to Austin’s cot and says: Colt? Got a minute?

Colt looks up and says: Yeah just give me a second to spread a heavier blanket on Austin to keep her warm. (Picks up a heavy blanket and spreads it over Austin saying) Feel better now Austin?

Austin: Uh-huh s-starting to feel the warmth trickle back.

Colt kisses the top of Austin’s head and says: You rest! I don’t have the skills to say what’s wrong! Just get some sleep. (Steps away from his baby sister and says) What?

Turbo: Well how can I put this?

Colt: How about spit it out?

Turbo: Well it’s like this, Diamond here wants your sister’s hand in marriage...or at least engagement

Colt allows his tail to whip around and says: She’s in no condition to accept anyone’s hand for anything. Wait until she’s feeling better then we’ll talk marriage until then I’m sorry, but speaking for all the Copperstein and Bridgenstein men, the answer to marriage is no, the answer to engagement is up to Austin and she’s in dream land. It’s going to be a long road back to normality,there’s two families out looking for her and you’d better not have had your way with her either or you’ll have Tanner to answer to.

Diamondfire: We haven't gone that far with eachother! We spent most of our time separated Austin at one end of the prison having god knows what done and me at the other forcibly decphering texts for the stink fish. Shortly after they ran out of things for me to decipher and things for Austin to do,they just chained us to the wall by a collar with four links for me and at least twelve for Austin so she could lay down comfortably. I don't know what they did to her,but at least two days after we'd been there,they pulled her out and she was gone for the majority of the day and half the night and when she came back and they snapped the collar back on her neck, she slept and developed a fever that just ran rampant.
