Yo Ho Ho And a Bottle Of Rum
Cait sat in a lotus position on the beach with her eyes closed. The waves washed up on the shore and soaked her, but it didn't register in her mind. Not that she ever minded being wet. She did get strength from the water and today she needed all of her strength and more, physical and mental.

Ty was starting an interview at Star Labs for a position, something he had worked so hard for, and Cait was trying to help keep him centered enough to get through it. The bond that they usually shared was stronger than it had ever been and Cait was still struggling. They were linked so strongly that she could almost hear, smell, see and feel everything he was experiencing. She had never been so far into some other living being's mind before. She could almost imagine the headache that would come after this.

"You're doing fine." Her mental 'voice' was as soothing as she could make it and she exerted as much control as she could through the link. "We can do this."

	Meanwhile, Charlotte looked over at Max. "You, ah, ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max made a few adjustments. "As I'll ever be. Watch yourself Charlotte. I have no idea how this thing will react to Ty. Be ready to get the hell out of here." With this last cautionary word, Max presses the button. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The device may not work perfectly - but it does clearly have an effect. There is massive feedback down the link, quite possibly destroying the machine... but for the moment, Ty's hands are shaking - clear sign that he's fighting it - and Cait's mind is clear. Likewise, while the physical barrier doesn't end, the blocks on his mind disappear amidst the conflict.

If they're quick, now might be the time to try and re-anchor him... but, of course, Cait probably isn't calm enough to do that right now.

That, and he's not controlling the pirates - the robots are continuing to attack, changing their attack type to try and account for each individual Titan as they become aware of them.

	The water inside the shield coalesced into ice bullets and they went flying toward the robots. Her powers were back and the block against her mind was gone. She turned and focused her will on Ty. She called upon all of her strength and tried to get into Ty's mind. Her will was like a battering ram into his mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jo does not like this red sun radiation business, not one bit. Her shots aren't doing a lot of damage, but this gives her an idea.

The robots seem to be accounting for her abilities, as well as her teammates...but they have to know who they're fighting to do so.

"Guys, these things are trying to keep us off-balance! Switch partners and maybe we can take them down while the others help Ty!" she yells, dashing toward the robot that's trying to keep Iris in motion so that she can't move toward it and hoping someone can handle her robot while she's at it.

	Well, this had turned... bad, very quickly. Charlotte focused her attention on the nearest robot, trying to draw it into her singularity. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The device began to fizzle from the backlash. Knowing what was likely coming, Max threw it at one of the robots. Sure enough, it exploded, taking a part of the robot's head with it. "Sometimes I hate being right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Despite the feedback, technically, the device worked.

With the distraction and dropped shields, Cait is able to get in - which doesn't do it alone. She's too worked up. But after the telepaths figure it out and link Ruth in... the Captain fades.

The robots are tough - but teamwork takes care of them thanks to some quick thinking.

As that finishes, a very tired looking Ty sinks to his knees, looking around at the destruction.

"Cait... guys... I'm... I'm so sorry."

	Cait was by his side and put her arms around him. She reestablished the link with him. "It's okay," she said. "You're fine now and I'm going to take care of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)
