Tired of wearing black and blue (Ch. 4: Day 1)

"Yeah?" said Coop, with a terrible grin, "I just need you knocked out."

He swung his arm low across the wall behind Ace in a huge swiping motion that presumably intersected the location of the serval's torso. Coop attempted to sweep him into a bear-hug that would, within seconds, develop into a stranglehold, as the eagle attempted to wrestle Ace into unconsciousness.

Tau hadn't moved a servo since stopping behind the others for Rock's interview with the doctor and remained a motionless robotic golem after it had ended, remaining so even during the two ships' forceful departure. The only reaction the two fleeing vessels stirred from the A.I. was the generation of the simulated plasma like mass of maroon and purple hues it used to visually represent the focus of it's primary optic, which track the fleeing vessels, and their pursuers for several moments.

At the moment Tau entirely unconcerned with the fate of either of the ships and their passengers and instead was far more interested in obtaining the proper IFF code, among other things, though would make a brief reply in regards to Rock's comment. "I've left no equipment aboard the ship."

Rock had puffed some air out his nose at Jam's comment as he walked along. "Feh, Lenny..."

Then, something hit him while the robot was talking, and the jovial look on his face vanished. It wasn't another sudden headache; it was a realization brought about by the mention of family.

"We still don't know how much time's passed," he revealed pensively, and looked to Tau. "You picked up anything on the airwaves about it yet?"

Tau's primary optic lit up once more (having faded once the fleeing ships faded from view), its focus shifting towards Rock's direction as the A.I. replied a moment after the question. "I can confirm approximately 40 days have passed since we left the planet's surface."

Badge had absolutely nothing in mind as he put their escape into motion, so naturally when Geoff posed the question about where to go, he simply gave him a blank expression(once he was done weaving between buildings, so he didn't crash).

Then Rodolf chimed in, his information a helpful tidbit.

"Yeah," He answered to Rodolf's last question, "That sounds like a good place. At least we'd be able to stow the ships for now. Gonna need to hoof it to Spring City, or where ever we end up going from there..."

Add "Wild Family Van" to the list of equipment that would make life easier in times of need.

"I'm curious to see what's happened with Wild Labs, and my crazy old benefactor."

Jam frowned, deep in consideration for a moment, but quickly shrugged the revelation off. "It's not as bad as it could've been," she mused aloud, finding her rationale more sound the longer she was given to mull over it. "Granted, it's been long enough t'where somebody prolly thinks we're dead, but... talkin' about alternate time flows and maybe inter-dimensional travel and crap -- We're lucky t'be home at all."

There was a certain weight to the air as the smaller of the simians allowed that notion to percolate for a blip, before wryly adding, "If this even is home..."

Yes, her old-timey radio melodrama was appropriately accompanied by a mischievous grin that colored her tone, and two sets of theatrically fluttering fingers. Jam takes serious things seriously, if you can't tell.
