Jerking to the side, I realized I could not move. To ANTIE-D, I said, "Get that thing out of me!" To Xangord, I said, "Let me go--and how'd you get here?"
"Your ship brought us," Nogard said as Xangord dismissed her shadow demon.
Looking around, I saw a flayed Jaa laying on a table. "What did you guys do to her?"
"She volunteered to have an icicle removed from her body to save you," Nissa said. "It apparently was made from the ice of the North Pole of your home planet."
Grabbing some clamps, I gently pushed aside Jaa's internal organs to see how much they took. "You guys took the whole thing? You only needed a quarter of it!"
"No one was sure exactly how much was needed," Nogard said. "At least we'll be rid of one less gwee."
"No one asked your opinion sister," I replied, closing Jaa's wound. "Nerissa, I'm sure we've caught attention since I succumbed to Wuyam. Have the fairies been trying to contact us?"
A display screen flicked on. "I've been ignoring their attempts for now. Do you wish to talk to them?"
"I'll talk to them!" Nogard said.
"Have Xangord talk to them," I replied to Nerissa, gently picking Jaa up. "Do NOT let them know Nogard is here."
"What are you going to do?" Xangord asked me as I left Med Deck Twelve.
"What I can before it's too late," I replied, heading for the nearest hangar. "Nerissa, close off corridor Henry Eight Alpha between corridors Henry Two Beta and Henry Three Beta once I am in that section. Do not open it until I say so."
As soon as I crossed into the section of corridor that I asked Nerissa to close off, a blast door swished shut behind me. At the other end of the corridor, another blast door swished shut. At the same time, both doors locked. Entering the hanger that was in the middle of the section of the corridor, I shut the door behind me.
Setting Jaa down, I transformed into my dragon form. Curling around her, I shut my eyes as I quickly and drastically dropped my body temperature. They say outspace is cold enough to instantly freeze anything. For how low I could lower my body temperature, outerspace is like a sweltering summer day in comparison. Within seconds, the hangar and the entire corridor I had blocked off became a solid block of ice. The blast doors sealing off the corridor were frosted.
