	Natasha boarded the ship and took up a position on the bridge. She wanted to see where they were going and what was going on. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The Queen nods politely, then gets down to business. "The strongest theory for the possible location of the space gem, from all that could be traced or intuited, is the Blue Area of the Moon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which means we're probably going to run across the Inhumans," Natasha said. They had been strangely absent from the gathering of forces. Tony had always said they were a prickly bunch and needed to be handled delicately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One hopes," the Queen says with a concerned expression. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_widow 2010-05-08 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"One can also hope that they will help instead of being the stand-offish assholes they usually are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-08 01:55 am UTC (link)
	The Queen blinks. "Are they? I was not aware. Medusa and I have always spoken perfectly pleasantly. But then, we of the Sisterhood are not always 'in the loop'. I must admit I hope then that it was merely 'assholishness' that kept them from coming to convene with us, and not the work of Thanos." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_widow 2010-05-08 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	"The Inhuman I am familiar with did not interact much with humanity, save for Crystal. They seemed content in their city on the moon and kept to themselves." Natasha shrugged. "Different worlds and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The Inhumans aren't going to get a chance to be stand-offish assholes. When the Badoon and Tasha arrive, the blue area of the moon is already bathed in blood and bodies.

Over two-thirds belong to the Legions of Set, green and black armored figures scattered all around. Many belong to the Inhumans and their allies, including a couple of the younger members of the Royal family... and the battle is far from over, Grog the God-Killer and Apep leading Set's legions against the forces headed by Gorgon and Karnak.

As the ship arrives, Black Bolt issues a beacon of light, trying to guide them in for a landing past the fighting, Medusa waiting there to translate for him.

Through it all, Uatu watches passively, outside the fighting, merely defending himself via force field from any attacks coming his way.

	The Sisterhood are all horrified by the bloodshed, but once they land, the Queen gets to the essentials as rapidly as possible. "Do you have the gem? Do they?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_widow 2010-05-11 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Natasha did a quick assessment of the situation. It wasn't going well. Had the whole universe in this reality gone crazy? She nodded once to Black Bolt and once to Medusa. "It's imperative we find the gem before Thanos' forces." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Black Bolt and Medusa 'converse'. Its only a few moments before Medusa turns back to the visitors.

"The Silver Surfer sent something here, to Uatu, but it was not the gem. We do not know where it is. However, Set believes it is here... and we are holding them off for as long as we can to try and buy people time to find the gems ahead of them. It is likely that if he had sent the gem, they would have detected it, and infiltrated us already. It is only because they are still trying to figure out how we've hidden it that they're even still bothering to distract our limited forces."

	Tasha's hope sank. The gem wasn't here. This had been a waste of time on their part and Thanos' forces were that much closer to finding the gem elsewhere. "Can we help at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 01:01 am UTC (link)
	The queen frowns, but then nods. "If we can help hold them off to prevent their becoming active elsewhere, we will do what we can." The Sisterhood weren't really well-practiced or inclined for all-out warfare. "Do you have any idea what the Surfer sent to Uatu?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_hero 2010-05-12 01:05 am UTC (link)
	"The item is still tucked into the Watcher's belt. We are not certain what it is. If you wish to help here, we can use any support we can get. If your tasks call you elsewhere or you have some idea, we will help all we can, but our resources are growing more limited by the moment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Uatu stands impassively, watching the battle. As indicated though, there is what appears to be a piece of paper sticking up out of his sash at the waist. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 05:11 am UTC (link)
	And one of the Badoon's small landing craft manages to take advantage of the current flow of battle and get over to where Uatu is standing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Uatu makes no move to greet or help them, but notably, his force field also does not stop the Badoon from reaching him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 05:34 am UTC (link)
	The craft slips therin and rises. "Greetings, Uatu," says the Queen. "If you are not inclined to conversation, we trust you will at least not interfere with our retrieving something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Typical of the Watcher's non-interference, he does not respond, just watching the scene play out while Tasha and the Inhumans battle the legions of the Egyptian death god. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-12 06:15 am UTC (link)
	Without further ado, the Queen has the craft pull alongside to try to get the paper out of Uatu's sash. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The field is virtually undisturbed since the Exiles left it. The Surfer still floats lifelessly over the field in lower orbit, and his board lies stuck at an angle into the surface of the battlefield. A couple ships stand sentry over the field, but have not touched anything, just guarding against Thanos' return. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-14 12:12 am UTC (link)
	When they land, the Queen makes her way swiftly over to the board. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Beneath the board, stuck to its underside and hidden in its shadow is the Space Gem. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_cosmic 2010-05-14 12:43 am UTC (link)
	The Queen looks to the Widow. "I would prefer you took it. I do not feel entirely comfortable holding it with my bare hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_widow 2010-05-14 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"I don't feel comfortable taking it, but I will. Be ready to run. Once we get this, Thanos' forces may be alert to our presence." Natasha carefully reached down and took the gem. (Reply to this)(Parent)
