*While Sylicora and Rhojis are inside talking, another smaller white portal crackles into existence fifty feet above the airfield, a lone Comanche roaring from the empty whiteness and quickly pulling its nose up to slow to a hasty hover before descending to land at the end of the chopper line closest to the office, the portal vanishing with a flash. As soon as its wheels hit ground, a pair of shining blue orbs appear floating beside it, seemingly unaffected by the rotorwash as the heli is run through its shutdown sequence. The raptors turn to look at the new arrival, Hurricane taking slow steps toward it as its rotors finally come to a stop and its upper door is flung open, the pilot climbing out and, with the sauro, walking back toward the office. The other pilots, who had been sitting in the intact hangar glance at each other and also make for the office, another shape walking out the back of the packed Chinook to follow. The door clicks open and I step in, helmet under one arm, looking troubled.*
Guess things have quieted down here. Figures. Sorry I'm late...
Sy: We managed. This giant bug thing decided to try to abduct me so it could revive its master again. With some help from KP, we drove it off, but the fight wrecked half the airport and almost killed Rhojis in the process.
I know. My... source told me all about it. *Jerks a thumb at the blue orbs now peering in through the window, the air around them distorting and reforming into the gray, transparent shape of a Liliensternus, her face shadowed in a grim expression.* And I also know what your plan of action is...
*At that moment, the other three human pilots enter the office, a gray-suited saurian trailing in after them.*
Ah, good timing. D'you think one of you could fly the construction workers back to ISS? Make sure the Chinook comes back in one piece though, we'll need it later...
*The flight-suited raptor comes forward and removes his specially-made helmet, revealing lightly scarred rusty red skin and deep green eyes.* Raptor: I'll do it. Be back before you know it.
*Rhojis and Sy's jaws drop simultaneously* Both: Dad?!
*The rusty raptor pauses, blinking at them, mouth curving into a smirk.*
Beryl: Glad you still recognize me...
