Is That A Hemi?

Vallana laughed. "You're a sassy bitch ain't you. You remind me of someone from home. The name is Vallana."
Styx founf Vallana to be a bit on the snarky side, but she was meeting her half sister for the very first time. She was not sure how they would get along in the future but they did their dead beat dad as a connection.
Everyone began helping Luna prepare for the Dybbuk Trap. Shadowfang stayed and helped because he was curious and wanted to see what this lunatic was capable of. If she was capable of what she claimed she was probably the smartest person in all of Toril and a person that smart was going to be needed to stop the Elder Brain.
So with everyone's help Luna drew her ruins on the ground in the fifty foot circle. In reality she only needed a thirty foot circle but she was leaning a lot on the safe side since there was way to many bystanders with no clue on her work. Of course she had no plans to tell anyone that stuff yet at least. Once she was done she placed her materials and trap in place as her metal rats moved the Mind Flayer corpses into position. Then she set up everything to compensate for any issues that would rise. Granted she told the others she was making a trap she neglected to tell them that trap had fifty two triggers to set it off so the Dybbuk would get caught regardless of its actions and behavior.
Then Luna placed her metal rats to surround the circle and she activated the beacon to lure the Dybbuk. Granted it was nerve wracking for everyone to watch this, it was actually boring. Luna was chewing some black root to calm her nerves as she waited patiently. After an hour passed everyone was rather bored and under the impression that Luna messed up on her trap. Then as some of the others got up to walk away, they were startled as a large glowing jellyfish came through a portal like window and paused before the corpses attached to the beacon. Then everyone paused in silence and fear as they watched the Dybbuk embrace the corpses. Then a bright light appeared and the Dybbuk panicked but was instantly caught in a barrier as a swirling light spun around it getting faster and faster. The Dybbuk slammed against the barrier trying to escape but it failed. Then the Dybbuk began to glow brightly in the barrier and this blinded everyone looking at it. Then they all heard a loud popping sound as the barrier vanished. Many were scared that Luna failed and prepared to fight the Dybbuk. However Luna was calm and cool as she moved her hands to test the movement of the Dybbuk. She smirked once she was confident in her succuss. She then had her metal rats move all the Mind Flayers to the inside of the ship before the Dybbuk and Luna.
Then Luna controlled the Dybbuk to the engine core room where it would stick out from the top opening of the Nautiloid like balloons attached to a cake. Then she had her metal rats connect the Dybbuk to the core and control systems since it was a very bad idea for Luna to touch the Dybbuk directly. Luna then told Arc to have the others bring all the corpses to the engine room since they would work as a fuel source to power the ship. Arc did as asked and spread the word as he began collecting corpses for fuel. Luna spent several hours adjusting the engine and control system with her metal rats. Arc was very impressed as he watched her work. It took the better part of the day to get the Dybbuk working as the engine. As dinner came around everyone got spooked to hear the Nautiloid power up and lift up a good five feet and hold in place. Luna's metal rats already tethered the Nautiloid so it would not fly away and just hover in place. After dinner she was going to finish the last part of the controlling systems. Arc and Styx made sure to secure dinner for Luna who was hard at work.
