Lana chuckled, "I'm sorry. Normally, I drop in, provide the information then leave again. This meeting has been a bit… special."
She looked toward Sil again, gave a big smile then turned to the others.
"My name is Lana Plantwell. I am Sil's wife. Quinn officiated our marriage as leader of the 10th in the vampire world in that summer before we found that the world was in a civil war. For obvious reasons for those who know, we didn't want our relationship to be known to the public and filing a marriage in the human world was simply out of the question."
Owen had concern in his eyes as he nodded and Mona shuddered just thinking about it.
Lana continued, "as for who I am, I call myself a plant master. My upbringing wasn't a kind one and my ability was difficult to master because my emotions were all over the place. My ability deals with plants. My form of healing takes much longer than the healing ability but it works."
She took a bag off her shoulder and handed it to Owen. Fiza brought her another bag and she placed it in front of Quinn.
Shalt stepped forward from his place behind her with another bag.
"Who's the leader of the Earthborn Faction?"
General Sac raised his hand and Shalt brought the bag to him rather than allowing Lana to do it.
"In these bags are healing products that I have made. During times of war, our energy can get used up quite quickly. It can be especially taxing on the healers. Plants take time to cultivate if doing it to make products such as these so the contents of these bags are all I was able to get done. There are things like burn creams, products to heal broken bones, heal cuts, even if they are deep, there are even energy bars that restore your MC and can get you back in the fight." Lana smirks, "Be careful with the energy bars around Sil. He really likes them!"
She could hear him chuckling but was trying to focus on what she was here to do.
"Now, with the things I have told you I can do with my ability, can you guess what I have been up to?"
Owen grinned, "Yes, but please tell us."
Lana smiled, "I followed Quinn to the Crow faction where I joined my twin brother and the team we had at school. Being pregnant, I only had a short amount of time before I started showing and we would be moving to my planet as soon as I felt we were ready. Logan had converted two small ships into more of stealth ships and locked the bay on the Cursed Ship for my access only. He gave me a remote control for the ship I would be using. I registered the Plantwell Family under the Cursed Faction so the planet belongs to the Plantwell Faction, under the Cursed Faction."
"We are currently doing two things. The first is, I had created an emergency shelter to be able to evacuate some civilians if they were endangered due to the war that some here already know about. It was supposed to be a temporary thing but the last set of people all decided to agree to live under my specifications and remain in my shelter. We expanded it to house a lot more."
"The second thing is, I have begun training people to use my original ability and it will remain exclusive to my family only."
She heard Owen say "ooooo" but kept going.
"I have three people trained on parts of it at this time. I currently have two in the field as of five days ago. This is what you see before you. These planets are what we selected to visit to see what the trees were saying about the Dalki and other things so we could support the war effort. I had wanted to meet with Sam before this but I had not been able to reach him."
"I normally give Sam a weekly report so we can stay on the same page. What I need from him, or you all, is to know if information from these planets would be beneficial to the war effort and is there any information you are looking for that has evaded you thus far. Also, if there is any information you need that Logan is not able to provide, we are willing to ask the trees if they have anything on these subjects which may help uncover whatever you are looking for. In short, my family is offering an information gathering service in the private sector, to the leaders."
There were a few raised hands around the table but Owen was faster.
"Please, did you use your soul weapon for taking down the dalki ships? Can you give a demonstration of what you did?"
Lana fidgeted again. "It's too dangerous to show my soul weapon here and I refuse to use explosives around my children…"
Owen's eyebrow shot up, "Explosives? I asked about your soul weapon and the ship."
She nodded. "Okay, let me show you a demonstration but I can't show what I did to the dalki ships. Does anyone know what's on the other side of that wall?"
"That wall is made of galathrium," stated Quinn.
Lana smirked, "I like a good challenge. Sil, I need you to pass the baby off and anchor me, please."
He looked a bit offended. She raised an eyebrow, "unless you want another man to put his hands on your wife's body?"
He looked around for someone to quickly hand the baby over and Owen was there before anyone having handed Owen back to Vorden when he returned to the room. He slowly handed the baby over then gently held Lana's hips.
"Owen, can you please stand by the wall with her and face her toward the wall? I don't think it will affect others with this skill but I'm being cautious." Lana said and Owen complied. "Sil, hold me tighter and anchor yourself as well."
Sil held her a bit tighter but not enough by her standards.
"Sil! If you don't hold me with a purpose, I will have Quinn come over and swap out with you!"
Sil's grip got tighter but Quinn came over and stood behind Sil just to be safe.
