It needed to b asked, but the answer was expected. She carefully made her way back to the camel.

In the middle of everything, an idea comes to Shinwa with a start and he holds up his hand to stop Kaiden from asking his question. " Kaiden-sama. Wait a second before you ask."
I'm sorry, Kiru. I can't ask where Bright Happiness Day is. I blew it.
He turns to the Oracle. "There is a question we can ask here that will grant us the most help for the least harm. Something you would want us to ask. Doji Kaiden-sama will ask that question. " He turns to Kaiden with a meaningful look and hopes beyond hope that what he is saying is true.
"So, Oracle. If I may ask it, my question is...what is that question?"
He turns back to Kaiden "Please ask whatever he says."

Nanashi wishes he had time to ask about the girl. But answers are worthless if your to dead to do anything with them. Nanashi rushes back to his bike without any issue
He starts up his bike and makes sure his visor is set to snowblind mode. With an almost guteral roar of the engine he is off and scouting.

No one seems to have any issue dodging the falling ice, thankfully.
As the Oracle hears Shinwa's question he looks at Shinwa with a slight smile, "Hard to answer that cryptically, that is. Especially if Dpji-san asks whatever I say to him. And yet it means I must choose your fate...."
He pauses for a mere moment, before he said, "A direct answer it is. May the cost of this not be too high. The Question that you should ask is, 'Where does one find the paperwork that will compel Asahina Hana to reveal what we need to know?' It is by far the safest path for you that will also give you a high likelihood of finding the answer. Still, one does not keep such a powerful thing out in the open, and she will not respond well you such pressure, saviors or not."
As Nanashi begins to scout, he sees many of the paths they once used were closed now. More concerning however were the Large tentacles that were beginning to crawl out of the cracks in the ice. They had time....but very little. Whatever lived below the ice was awake and aware now, and it wasn't happy.

The ronin is busy with dodging ice and releasing the grappling gun now Hida Tetsuko is safely in the Camel, but he does manage to give Doji Kaiden a nod. "Go on, Kaiden-sama." His voice is calm, at least. He then presses the red button on the communicator that signals 'Help' to the Warren to recall the ship....and hopes that Kiru doesn't fret too much.

Kiru doesn't notice the red button for now, distraught as he is.
Once The Warren is in atmo, Itsuki activates cloaking and then sends a message to Kiba and the Camel with coordinates for the pick-up zone, a place a bit closer than where they were dropped off that has been opened up by falling ice spires.
"What's wrong with master?" Kakashi suddenly asks, appearing between the shugenja and nameseeker.
"...I don't know, actually." Itsuki gestures with his head to the red "HELP!" beacon as he adds, "Best not to disturb him right now, ne?"
Kakashi frowns for a moment before understanding, and less than a second later an illusion washes over that part of the console, hiding the alert from view.
"Arigatou, Kakashi. Eeto, it might also be best to be waiting by the hangar doors. I suspect collecting our friends will be a bit hazardous, so your help would be invaluable."
Kakashi's tongue rolls out in a proud grin. "I'll say. Those sea monsters looked pretty nasty, and some of their tentacles had hooked barbs, too. I think Nanashi will be okay, but the Camel is a pretty big target, and it'll confuse Shinwa and the others too much to be invisible on such a vehicle. Will see what I can manage."
Kakashi disappears, and Itsuki picks up speed to head to the pick-up zone.
without saying a word, M'thack-kir stands up and leaves the bridge, heading directly for his room.
(OOC: not sure what Itsuki's Pilot skill is, but he IS our pilot, so we will go with his roll rather than incapacitated Kiru's, please Emerald~ remember the +6 for superior navigation console~)

The communicators click and Nanashi's hallow voice comes through
"Guys we need to go. We need to go NOW! Get your asses in gear!"
Nanashi stands by waiting to guid the camel and its occupants through the danger.

For now the ship handles easily in the Shiba's grasp, the spires of the ice peaks stable...ish for now, as they descend quickly through the Atmosphere. As they begin to pass through the tops of the mountains, the Shiba noticed an alert pop up briefly before vanishing, "We have a ship entering the system Senchou, but it was quick to cloak itself. Didn't get its clan colors."1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10·1-10

This revelation stops Kiru in his tracks. He spins sharply around and sits back down. "Bring us in steady, Itsuki, and warn the others," he barks a little harshly, unintentionally of course. Then, he ignores the tears and draws on another memory, one he has accessed several times in recent years: the Isawa technician. M'thack-kir types furiously at his console, creating and transmitting a system-wide May Day signal originating from a fake ship, The Spilled Udon, including coordinates in the sky not too far off to increase chances of visibility—after all, ships need to drop cloaking to enter a planet's atmosphere, as their shields need to be activated again. Itsuki is too busy flying The Warren to notice what his Captain is doing, which is good, for Shiba Itsuki is currently the only being aboard—kami included—who cares about the Rokugani concept of honour. Once the May Day signal has been sent, Kiru activates the ship's scanner to try and detect the unidentified ship, which would surely come to help or observe.

Kaiden prepares the Camel to leave as soon as the last passenger is on board.
He looks at the Oracle and asks...
'Where does one find the paperwork that will compel Asahina Hana to reveal what we need to know?'

With a patient tone, the Oracle said, "A little more cryptic this one, but then, its a little more important. I trust you will be able to figure it out, given the stakes, and must hope my opposite's chosen servants are less clever then you are. I hope one of you has a way to record this."
Closing his eyes he began to speak, "You seek a world that is a prison. A place where failures go to die. But these failures are not Samurai, in fact they aren't really even alive. The green of the grass long ago gave way to the gold of the tanish, the only sign of those who claim this world. But the world is forbidden as so many are, although no Emperor has done so, a sin of honour. Still, amoung the chemicals, machines, monsters and beasts, hides one piece of parchment, older then all else. Invulnerable to all that world throws at it, its power absolute, this parchment you seek will be hidden away.
But be warned humble Doji, this world is a source of shame, and its masters don't know that it hides the scroll you seek to claim. They fear failure and thats what this world shows. They have lost so much standing already, to risk this world being publically exposed.
But should those named for the traitor reveal this world to you, the last step is simple....find the largest machine you can, an ancient wreak, and pray that it stays asleep, as you seek its greatest jewel."
He looks over the group, "Is it enough? I cannot offer more, but I must ask, do you have an idea where you are going?"
Even as he finishes asking, he begins to pray, clearly intending to leave this world and soon, as the ground begins to shake once more.
((OOC: kUs_NrOT1-101-101-101-10k3))
The stealth field is downright pathetic really, either due to pilot incompetence, not being used as intended or just being far more poorly designed then anything Kiru had seen on Scorpion OR Phoenx vessels. Skimming tge Atnsphere it did not declock but dropped several probe beacons as it passed by the world. And then it flew on, decloaking only so long as to jump out of the system again. The probes as they fell seemed to scan the world, although for what purpose Kiru would need to delay his landing or find one latter to have to find out.

Shinwa is scribbling furiously with his brushpen in the notebook that he used for the previous prophecy. He makes no guesses to its meaning yet, too busy scrambling to write and dodge the falling snow "First, we play Ken-ken-pa. But I have some ideas. Thank you, Oracle. Is she going to be OK if we leave her here...?"
He looks up at the big ice block. What will M'Thack-kir say if I try to convince him to put the lady in the freezer?
An image flashed of an Isawa shugenja and the programming for the ship's freezer thermostat popped into his head uninvited, on top of the all the unearned knowledge he's gotten about sea monsters. Fortunately, he's not driving. Hopefully Kaiden will be taking care of that any second now....

"Not that I'm complaining but there are tenticals." Nanashi says as if he is describing cucumber sandwiches.

(OOC: Shinwa, you still have the Lore: Sea Monsters. The spell being cast again doesn't replace the previous casting.) "Kakashi! Fetch and destroy!" Kiru barks imperiously, pointing at the dropped beacons that appear on the ship's sensor display. "Quick-quick!" The mujina rushes to comply, not bothering to take the time to turn invisible as the doggo flies out into the atmosphere, ready to 'lick' his targets. "Itsuki, Kiru will handle-handle landing. Be ready to shift from cloaking to shields at any moment." The Nezumi taps a button to take command of The Warren's steering from his co-pilot console, and works to bring the ship down to the arrival point but not intending to land, exactly.

Tetsuko hangs on to the frame of the camel with one hand, her tetsubo in the other. "Doji, floor it!"
