Lost in Spaaace! (RP Thread)

[Right Hook]

"If required, ssustenance.If food storage is low." Theailan would say casually.

Whoa, that's a little scary.

"Hey Theailan, I'm not sure how your people do it but humans consider eating their own to be...distasteful. Besides we have plenty of food, please don't offer that suggestion again, it could really scare the others." Jake personally wasn't too bothered by the suggestion, he obviously had no intention of eating dead people but he could see how something like that may not be so taboo for another species, especially a species more used to being practical than comfortable.

"Releasing the bodies into space is an idea but I'm not sure how happy I'll be with dumping that much human DNA into the unknown depths of space for god knows what to recover. We empty a freezer, put the bodies in and seal the thing like a vault, these people deserve burials if we get home. If you are still opposed to that Codex, than you can leave it up to a vote but I won't make that call." Jake replied to Codex. Computers had a very cold and calculating way of dealing with problems, even the newer systems that were supposed to act more in line with human emotion would start to revert to a more systematic approach when the situation started to get bad. That's the one thing they couldn't artificially create, the mortality that people continue have even when it may be dangerous or a burden.

Johann laid down in one of the rec-room. David didn't see, but when the other Alien stepped a little two close, she showed him a Syringe. With the red fluid so close to his face, it's wing on the other side of his peripheral vision, and it's viciously sharp teeth just a little two close to his ear, the fighting man inside him kicked in, while the Diplomat kept him from firing his gun.

Man, he was sure that something horrible was going to happen, but there was no gun-fire. Were they hostile? Was everyone else okay? Johann wasn't going to figure those out laying on the couch in a Sensor-dead zone near the underbelly of the ship.

---------------------------

Iskierka remained calm. She had a pretty good idea of what was going on, and the radio feed was still going through the small headphone in her HUD-Gear. Accompanied with the small green diamond in her Augmented reality interface was a dull gray diamond, fairly close. The reason as to why the other diamond was on her display had already faded away,

AURORA:
ID Card Properties changed. Temporary ID assigned to new crew until new ID cards can be manufactured at a later date.

Iskierka had to be smart about this. After all, she hadn't been staring at a wall the whole time. She had to make the right move, after the security officer walked by her smelling like piss.

-----------------------------------

Theailan furrowed her eye-ridges, well her organic side anyway at Jake. She looked at him for a moment, as if he had something horrible, but then waved it off with a smile. "You are, Omnivore." she observed. "This one, apologize..." The reptile would add before Codex chimed in, "I have done some additional calculations. If shelving units are removed from the freezer in Mess Hall 6, additional members killed in action can be stored in Mess Hall 2's freezer. The problem, however, due to a pin-hole, there is no atmosphere to the hall outside, or to any part of Mess Hall 2. Additional foodstuffs can be procured from Mess Hall 6 if my scans are accurate. I may be able to use a nearby room as a temporary airlock to preserve atmosphere."

After watching the monitor for a moment, Theailan would look back to Jake. "This one will assissst."

 

[Right Hook]

"This one will assissst." Theailan said.

"Good, we have substantial bit of work ahead of us, hopefully once we get past all of the more sensitive operations, the droids will be able to pick up the slack, transferring food and clearing freezers is fine but I hope we won't have to drag every single body on this ship ourselves." Jake walked off, signaling Theailan to follow, "Codex you want to coordinate this effort? Get a hold of Eli and get our maintenance droids to work if you'd be so kind."

 

[BeerTent]

"Unfortunately, I am unable to maneuver the droids beyond more complex obstruction." Codex would reply to Jake. "I have already attempted to rebuild some functions to assist with pipe repairs. The patch jobs are holding, but I will more than likely assign Eli to look over my work in the near future. I strongly advise Human coordination for this task. I will attempt to clear the accessible areas."

Theailan followed Jake, but she watched the monitors closely. She seemed curious about the AI.

-----------------------------

Meanwhile, in the Mess Hall, the AI's image would appear on the monitor. "Attention crew, I have begun clearing bodies. If you see a member of the crew who has been killed in action in a difficult to reach location, please take the deceased member to the nearest, accessible hallway." Her voice would reach to the kitchen, as most of it was very easily accessible from the mess hall, with only a glass barrier over a counter separating the two.

"Stroud. I do apologize to overburden you, but there are more tasks that may require your expertise. Please come to the mess hall and notify me if you are available."

David was somewhat un-nerved by the AI's announcement, Mostly as it reminded him more about where he was, in a ship with a Month's worth of oxygen.
The Alien encounter took that off his mind but now...
"ewwww...Clean up..." He groaned as he finished his meal and drink.
"Right, I'm going to get a start on that, anyone wish to join me?" He asked the group.

"Although I can't do any heavy-lifting, can I come anyway? I'm sure there's something I can do," Ace said, grabbing the opportunity to exercise his leg and be of use to the group. He desperately wanted to stop being the third wheel and start helping them. After seeing David hurt, he couldn't bear sitting around and doing something. For the first time in his life he wasn't content with relying on someone or something else.

"Any make-shift crutches?" Ace asked, realizing that although he could walk, it would still tax his recovering leg.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David looked around for something for Ace and found a piece of Metal off a broken sign, It was just about long enough to work with.
"Will this do?"

When the Aliens had left the meeting, Iskierka kept an ear on the conversation and turned to a nearby computer terminal. Through it, she waited for the alien ship to disengage from the Aurora. In her own opinion, she didn't like the idea of revealing her presence until the last of the potential enemies had left. She laughed a little at her own attempt to be strategic and tactical - David was no doubt far better at the task under normal circumstances that did not involve his obvious xenophobia; she would probably need to ask for tips on combat tactics for the future if it took them less than a day to have a first encounter.

 

When the ship did finally disembark, she breathed a sigh of relief, unaware she was even holding her breath. With it, she stowed her gun away, carefully concealing it, as she rejoined Jake and his new companion just in time to hear talk of moving the dead. "Sounds like a good plan. If we do run out of room though, we could find an out-of-the-way room and drain the atmosphere - cold vacuums make for good storage environments." She knew the tip wasn't particularly helpful, but it seemed a good way to interject herself into the conversation.

 

[Nouw]

"Looks good enough," Ace said, accepting the broken sign from David. It suppourted his weight and was sturdy, good enough for Ace. "So, where are we going?" he asked. He had no choice this time in following or leading, not that Ace could have done the latter. He had to be extra careful, not just for the sake of himself but for the sake of the others. The ship's scarce medical supplies deserved to be used on someone with a more legitimate injury, rather than someone who fell from a vent.

 

[Right Hook]

"Sounds like a good plan. If we do run out of room though, we could find an out-of-the-way room and drain the atmosphere - cold vacuums make for good storage environments." Iskierka said walking into the conversation.

"Good to know. This is one of my fellow crew members, Iskierka Capek. This is our guest, Theailan." Jake introduced the two, not really sure where to get started on any of the tasks.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"I'm Heading the the Armoury or whats left of it, Knew the guy who worked the Firing Range, He understood the quality of a fine weapon..." David reminisced about a friend of his.
"*Sigh*...Still don't know how the Martians found us. Anyways, if you find it painful to move, don't. Your in a bad enough state without making it worse. PHIL! ME AND ACE ARE HEADING OUT! WATCH THE PLACE!" He shouted as he motioned for Ace to follow him out.
He walked as he always did, With his eye down the sights of his Magnum.

 

[Sigma Castell]

Johannwoke with a start, an incoherant string of word sflying from his lips. He looked wildly around, and noticed he seemed to be insome sort of relaxation room.
[i/]Rec room A5[/i], He thought. Johann got to his feet, and stretched, working out the tense muscles in his back. He sighed and looked around the room again. Something seemed strangley off..as if he had forgotten something...
[i/]David...[/i]Johanns eyes widened in horror.
"Oh god, I left him with that alien! Why did I do that!", he excalaimed to the empty room, taking off at a sprint to the Mediacl Wing.
[i/]I'll stop by the armoury first.[/i] He thought.[i/]This Culler isnt going to cut it[/i]

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David and Ace continued down the ruined hallway towards the Armoury until someone was seen running past.
"Johann? That you?" David said as a bolt of anger entered his mind, oh what he was gonna do to him.

 

[Sigma Castell]

Johann grasped davids shoulders and shook him wildly.
"David! You're alive! Where are the aliens!"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David smiled and nodded.
"Well First off..."
He stuck Johann in the Gut, winding him. CQC
"That...was for leaving me, I-...I have a fear of aliens...so your actions didn't help..."
He picked him back up and said "Second, They come in peace and even left one of their own on board to help us, you can meet her later. for now, We're cleaning bodies..."

 

[Sigma Castell]

[b/]FATALITY[/b]
Johann lay on the ground, winded. He stared at the ceiling, and raised an eyebrow.
"David, that was completly uneccessary. I was not to know you suffered from xenophobia."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"Still, This was a first fucking contact man! and you run out screaming!? You could've killed us all then!" David added as he helped Johann back up.
"That and it made feel less bad about when I-....you know what, never mind."
David nearly let slip how he pissed himself.

 

[BeerTent]

Theailan looked at Iskeirka. "Issss~Keir-Ka." She tried to pronounce, she would then smile and stand up a little more straight for a short moment with a smile. The alien had to be around the 7 foot mark if her posture was, well... Normal. "It, iss nice to meet you, Iskeirka." Theailan would add after a short moment.

"With some controlled damage, you can introduce a hole in a nearby room. I can segregate both, the freezer and the room from the rest of the ship, and drain Atmosphere. However, due to the location, that mess-hall would have to function as an emergency airlock. I would be required to deny access to that area for safety reasons." Codex explained.

Theailan would look at the monitor and ask "Interface. Can we speak again?" The AI would change her focus to the new question. "Supervision from a known crew member would be required if we were to do that again. I do not have the programming to make that call on my own. The information sent would need to be at the discretion of the individual watching over the transaction." Theailan would nod. "Very well." she replied, before turning to the others. "This one would like accesss to known locations of... 'hard to reach placesss.' Can this one connect to find these locationss?"

 

[Sigma Castell]

Dived brushed some non-existent dirt from his suit.
"True, first-contact protocal advises against running away screaming. I aplogise for leavin you there, I had expected you to follow my lead. No matter. I gather the aliens are friendly? Or at least want to put eggs inside us without killing us?"

 

[hiei82]

Iskierka smiled at the alien... something. Why did English not have a good word for it? Person maybe? Regardless, she smiled, and held her hand forward. It didn't even occur to her that the idea of a "hand shake was alien to some humans, and could have a bizarre fax-pas for the alien.

"It's a pleasure to meet you [b/]Theailan[/b]." she said, glad the first encounter had gone so well. She couldn't help but laugh however: the alien creature from worlds away had pronounced her name better then the man from the UK.
