- "Prrrrrrhmmmmm." Thyra looks at the very small bird who wants to levitate a
- rather large, wet Dalek. "I thought Linda The Starship hauled Dalek out
- already with a tractor beam. Oh well, I guess he fell in again." She pads
- over and leaps up onto the rim of the tub. At the moment, Thyra is still in
- the form of a largish, tawny housecat, wearing a black velvet collar. She
- looks at the Dalek, looks at little Feather, and washes her ear with a paw.
- "Well, the easiest thing is to apply the TK to Dalek's 'head'. The top of
- him is sticking up out of the water, after all. The other option is to
- extend the TK forces -through- the water, but concentrate on attaching them
- to the surface and interior of his casing. Sort of like reaching into a
- barrel of black-eyed peas and grabbing an orange that's beneath the
- surface. You work by touch, get a good grip, and haul it out." She smiles
- at her avian friend, and the sapphire on her collar glows a soft blue.
- "Give it a try. I'll help if you need it."
