Guinan nodded to Mike. "How do you use the water supply then? What do you drink from?" she asked.

Enye laughed as well at Lilli's comically serious exclamations: a soft harp-like sound. I no longer have thoughts; only pure intention. So when I send my intention, in this case to communicate, to you, then your minds turn them into words. She explained to Mike.
"The Universe has a natural song...or, rather, the song is the Universe." Jian commented absently, as if far away.
For some reason, Aelkai had an uncharacteristically serious expression on her face. She tapped Mike on the arm, looking up at him with her peculiar eyes fixed right on his face. "Have you ever been...burned?" She asked in a voice so low that it was almost hard to hear.

Mike says "Why would we need a container?" and then he puts his mouth up to the floating water blob and sucks it up out of the air.

When Aelkai taps Mike on the shoulder and asks if he has ever been burned he looks back at her in confusion. "Have I ever been burned? Well, I did loose my left arm in a plane crash, a Mars lander I was in was sabotaged to crash, a civilian ship that I was supposed to be on was destroyed by a terrorist organization, and I have visited the upper atmosphere of Venus. Is that what you mean?"

Captain Plank is in the bridge of the USS Hercules, the windows are covered by steel blast covers and he is watching the battle via a holographic display in the middle of the room. He says "Hercules, is there any new information about the situation inside Nexus Station?" A very deep male robotic voice responds "The Heiwa Federation is taking control of the station's systems, they have just successfully hacked the airlock override system. There is still no sign of Mason Williams."

Captain Plank turns to one of the crew members on the bridge working frantically at her console and asks "How is the conflict on the cyber front going?" She responds, "It's still any team's game, the hackers and the ship's AI are trying everything but they can but the Heiwa Federation clearly brought some of their best hackers here."

[ooc]
I'll get back to Mason soon, this stuff is important in this case though.

Aelkai tilted her head slightly, staring at Mike with an unreadable expression on her face, but then she went to get her suit on [Jian had to help her].

"But... how?" Lilli asked.

"Like...." They tried to come up with words but they couldn't.
They had a question in their head, but they didn't know how to say it. It was immensely frustrating, having a thought and not being able to verbalize it. and as Lilli sat there their eyebrows curled together in frustration.

They looked at Jian, but said nothing.

Jian looked back.

Lilli growled.

Jian cocked an eyebrow.

Lilli looked down. "Gnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....."

Then they sighed.

"God damn it, I wish I could send you thoughts."

"Once we're outside the ship, you will see exactly what I mean." Jian grinned. As for telepathy, you might be trying too hard.

Lilli's eyebrows furrowed at her statement.
"What do you mean....?"

A second passed before they put two and two together.

"Wait....." They turned to Jian. "Does that mean...."

Their mouth opened wide, their eyes glimmering in excitement.
".....you could teach me??"
they said loudly.

"I could probably teach everyone here if I was so inclined, though...there are significant dangers." Jian warned, but then smiled. "You remind me of my class at Hogwarts, wanting to know how I could do such amazing magic without a wand. I suppose I was cheating, since Hogwarts has a completely different way of learning magic than in my world."

"Pffft, I've seen danger before." She said, reffering to the Team Flare incedent. Laura took a deep breath in and out, and looked at Jian for a few seconds. And a few more, narrowing her eyes. She sighed in disappointment. "No luck. My Lucario can apparently talk tellepathically, but oh well." She looked just as dissapointedas she would if she has just made a wild Shiny Ditto faint.

(OOC: Kuraudo, I could imagine Quark teasing Jian: "Jian, cheating? No way!" LOL. For the rest of you who might not get the reference, Quark is a bar owner/black market dealer who cheats at everything.)
Guinan watched Mike. "OK, easy enough then," she said as she began to make her way over, bouncing off the floor and ceiling and pushing off of seats. She only hit her head once as she turned. Once she'd reach the water valve, she found the process easy enough. "Thank you. I was starting to get a headache," she said to Mike.

With a puzzled expression, she listened to Lily, Jian, and Laura discussing magic. Eventually, she made her way down to the cargo compartment and tried to change into the space suit as quickly as she could before someone saw her.

[^I've actually imagined several scenes where Enye's on the Promenade for a cup of tea and a chat with Dax and Kira while Quark tries to sell her useless stuff for ridiculous prices. Then Odo comes along and is all "What are you up to? Enye doesn't need self sealing stem bolts, Quark!! !" ]

Aelkai pulled on Jian's hand to get her to bend over, and whispered something unintelligible. Jian's face winced sympathetically, and looked around as if quickly searching for something. Star-Enye floated over and put her face close to Aelkai's, as if easing whatever discomfort the young girl had.
"Does anyone here have water Pokemon or Pokemon that know water moves?" Jian asked the room at large, and then added, "We don't need water to drink, just for...well, Aelkai's...not feeling the greatest. Probably from transforming so much."

"We both have a Vaporeon! Which is just a coincidence." Laura grinned at Calem. "But diddn't Mike say that we can't have our Pokemon out?"

Guinan floated up from the cargo compartment with the space suit now under her clothes and covering her entire body, except that the helmet remained off. She hit into the roof with her hands and started bouncing her way toward Jian and Aelkai. "Would you have the pokemon do a water move while we're weightless?" she asked Laura and Jian. "That could be, er, interesting." She grabbed onto a seat and stayed still as she listened for the reply.

(OOC: LOL, Kuraudo. And nope, probably shouldn't even try explaining the stembolts reference.

"Oh." Jian said in a surprised tone. "Right." She leaned closer to Guinan and muttered "You can tell that I haven't been in space for awhile."
"Never mind, then." Aelkai said quickly, and when Jian turned to her questioningly, she added "I am alright."
"You say that far too often." Jian countered blithely. "It might be better just to...erm...let it be for awhile." She mumbled awkwardly, with a significant look at Aelkai's face.

Guinan frowned thoughtfully. "Drinking the water wouldn't help instead? Mike did say we could," she indicated the water supply. "What do you actually feel?" she asked Aelkai.

Aelkai looked at Guinan for a moment, and then replied truthfully, "I feel burnt."
"It's a long story. Really long..." Jian interrupted unhelpfully. "Anyway, are we going out to see the sea serpent now? I imagine that she probably wants to be...er...un-summoned."
