This whole thing sounded like a joke. A spaceman and knight walk into a disaster area...
Rich rushed in to help.
"Lemme get that," he said of a large chunk of debris they were having trouble moving even with their gravity-thingy. He directed a beam of Nova Force energy at it -- tight and finely focused and perfectly aimed, because the last thing all this debris needed was a big shaky explosion. It caused the piece of debris to lift and roll to the side exactly where they needed it to go.
"How the hell did you manage that?" asked the rescue worker, because he'd clearly been worried Rich was going to bring the whole place down on their heads.
"Ain't my first time at the disaster relief rodeo, fellas," said Rich, working with his hands now, helping them move debris, his Nova Force arm particularly useful. It couldn't lift much more than a normal arm, but it was more flexible, like a tentacle.
He called over to Alexander, "Hey there, sir Knight, there's a shrubbery in it for you if you can hold that up at least another minute."
He knew the Monty Python joke wouldn't translate. At all. But he had to make it. It was there.
