VI: [ voice ] Power Outage

[ good thing Piper's already done with preparing the food before crazy things started happening to Taxon. ]

Okay, I don't know what's going on with the tablets or the hatches, but, um... is there anyone out there who can tell me where the makeshift bunkers can be found? And also with carrying the food to the bunkers? There's... um, quite a lot of them and I would appreciate anyone's help very much.

All right. I'll stay over there to direct whoever's coming. Thank you, Piper.

The warning is good. Guess I just wish it was a little less vague. But that's always how these prophecy things go, I know. So I'll take what we can get.

Thanks, Fred. I might send Superboy your way. I hope you know him.

[ there's a bit of a smile in her voice. ] I don't know. I'm getting pretty used to the whole vague-visions-gig, to be honest.

Superboy? I haven't met him yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah, it is getting to be a pretty recurring thing. I'm not the one who's had to deal with them personally, though. Did you get hit with it, too?

He's, um... [ she can't help being amused at the following: ] He's the one flying with an S on his chest. It'll be impossible to miss him.

Oh, no. I, uh... don't get the visions in our family. My... my sister does.

You're going over there alone? What happened to our buddy system?

[whoops, caught] I'll only be gone a few minutes, and I'm meeting someone there. Lorne's busy with his own place, I'd really rather not tear him away from that for a trip to the evil law firm.

You don't have to. I'll accompany you. And somehow I don't think it's going to just be for a few minutes if there's water to be transported and rations being delivered.

Well, that sounds good. Thank you, Wesley. I didn't especially want to head there on my own anyway. But- um, what about your buddy?

Illyria? She can come along, I suppose. [Slight awkward pause as he realises something.] If that doesn't disturb you too much.

No, I don't mind. [and she really sounds like she doesn't] We had a talk and- well, I'm feeling better about some of those things now.

How did she take the whole...buddy thing, by the way?

Not well. As you can imagine. She's a primordial god-king, they wouldn't dare to toy with her again, we have no power to stop her doing exactly what she wants. And so on and so on.

Eventually she agreed to 'abide'.

Well, that's about as good as we can expect, I imagine. I'm kinda surprised she agreed to it, but that's good. We'll know if something happens to her, and I sorta feel like the aliens really do only take people away when they're alone. So maybe we can avoid that a little.

So I'll see you soon?

Her thought processes are still largely unfathomable and alien to us. However, I do believe she is endeavouring to assimilate. It will take some time, if it happens at all, for her to adjust fully to her limitations.

Hopefully the adage there is strength in numbers will prove correct in this case.

[There's a hint of a smile in his tone when he adds:]

Yes. You'll see me soon.
