Victoria was scanning the sea-line, stopping when she spotted the person she thought she'd seen before. She only needed a brief sight of the person's attire in focus to notice that they seemed familiar enough, so she waved her left hand and shouted,
Code:
"Hey!"
to get their attention.

Phaesan looked over at Victoria when she shouted, then approached the group. [color=ff9966]"Hello, Victoria. How do you feel?"[/color] Phaesan asked.

Sophia had vote for letting the mermen go peacefully, under the impression that this might have all been a misunderstanding. Her decision however had taken a bit longer to have come to, even if her vote hadn't changed the fate of the mermen one way or the other. "We've given you the chance to make up for what has happened... Now it's on you to prove yourselves. Don't waste it, please." She said to the head merman before he left.

Sophia had been watching the boat go out for a short time, but was startled when Victoria shouted to get Phaesan's attention. "Wasn't expecting that..." she said to herself as she pulled out the glasses case and put them neatly away.

"You know this guy too Victoria?" Sophia then asked, a bit more outgoing?

Code:
"A lot better than the first time ya saw me, that's for sure. How have things been going for you?"
Vicky replied to Phaesan, becoming much cheerier than she was a moment ago.
Code:
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, totally. This is Phaesan. They helped me get out of the hospital really quickly."
She answered Sophia.

"They?" Sophia asked as she looked back over to Phaesan, expecting to see another person coming up or something. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Phaesan. It's uh... you know, nice to know someone is out there looking after people, right?" Sophia said with a smile.

[color=ff9966]"I'm still confused about how I got here. Other than that, I'm doing pretty fine."[/color] Phaesan replied to Victoria.
When, Sophia looked at the new arrival, she would see that Phaesan stood around 170cm tall, and was wearing a dark, skin-tight suit with armour plating that covered her body. Her face was concealed by the darkened visor of her helmet. Perhaps most notable were Phaesan's hands and feet. Each hand had two fingers and two thumbs, one on either side. Her feet had three long toe-like appendages at the front, ending in talons, with a fourth at the back of the leg.
[color=ff9966]"It's nice to meet you, too."[/color]

Although Sophia tried to give everyone a fair, unbiased start, she had a hard time not staring at Phaesan's hands. The second thumb bit was really strange to her, something she'd never seen before or even thought it could be a thing. She eventually realized she was staring and looked up abruptly. "OH, um... sorry. My name is Sophia Aethis." She stammered. "So... is that a space suit or something? It kinda looks like it, with... well you know." She said.

[color=ff9966]"'Earth suit' would be more accurate."[/color] Phaesan replied, not seeming to notice Sophia staring at her hands. This was partly due to her staring at Sophia's ears, tail and eye-markings, though this would be hard for Sophia to notice. [color=ff9966]"I am Phaesan Ran'tern, by the way."[/color]

Phaesan might have also noticed that Sophia was barefoot too, although this wasn't as striking at the other features she was looking at. "An, earth suit? I... don't understand what that means?" Sophia repeated, not noticing that Phaesan was staring at her too, given the helmet blocking her view.

[color=ff9966]"It's not made for surviving in space, it's made for surviving on the planet Earth."[/color] Phaesan explained.

"What?" Sophia gave Phaesan a very confused look, not following why someone would need a suit here. It seemed silly, but then she started thinking for a moment. "Wait!? Is there something about this place we don't know about?! Is it actually dangerous or something?!" She eventually exclaimed, her tail behind her sticking up a bit and fluffed out more.

[color=ff9966]"I can't say for sure about this one, but the Earth in my universe has areas with large amounts of harmful radiation. It also has very few humans, to my knowledge, unlike this one. So that suggests this world is safe."[/color] Phaesan replied, attempting to reassure Sophia.

"What a relief." Sophia let out a deep sigh, her shoulders slumping a bit as her tail started to slowly settle down. "... Well this Earth being safe, I'm sorry to hear that your's is so dangerous... with radiation." She corrected herself, not wanting to be misunderstood and come off rude.

Seeing as how Phaesan was a familiar face to at least one of the group members, she thought it would be polite to introduce herself.
"Pleased to meet you Phaesan. My name is EMily." She bowed politely. "If you don't mind me asking, how was it that the Earth was irradiated?"
Could it have been a nuclear war?

[color=ff9966]"You don't have to be sorry. It isn't my planet."[/color] Phaesan replied, while taking out her tablet. She began looking through a few tables, which were full of alien symbols. Hearing EMily, Phaesan looked up and said, [color=ff9966]"We believe it to be mostly from human weapons, and partially from a small number of abandoned nuclear power facilities."[/color]

"Hey EMily, come with me for a second." Yorick said, even as he took her arm and started dragging her away.

Seras saw the mermen leave and figured things had probably gone well, so she got of the roof and walked back to where the others were.

One of the many destructive paths that we could've made. Fortunately for us that wasn't the case.
So she's an extraterrestrial? At least in terms of Earth. I wonder how she's speaking english. And why does she look so oddly human for something beyond Earth?

"Yes, Yorick? Can I help you?" She followed him.

"So, question." Sophia slowly raised her hand just by the elbow. "Now that it looks like we fixed the problem, should we maybe go and tell the local authorities what we managed to do? We don't want the people here to think fighting the fish men is a good idea either right?" Sophia suggested.

"[small]Or you know... just walk off... That's fine too.[/small]" Sophia mumbled as she watched Yorick and EMily walk off. "Anyone else?"

"You realized those fish people aren't going to live peacefully, right? Eventually they're going to out grow whatever island they land on. And the next one. And the next one. Eventually they're going to look for conquest again. I really don't seen any reason to keep them alive." Yorick said as he continued to hold EMily's arm.

"I told them, Yorick, the best way to expand is to request permission and never attack. They are aware of the consequences if they attack. And they are aware that they have to adjust to this world's customs if they want to live. You don't even know if conquest is the name of their game yet. They explicitly told us they wanted to clear out a city because they were dropped onto this world, and they used their barbaric customs to scare the people away, because it worked for them in the past. If you combine that fact with the idea that this was something out of desperation, then they were doing something out of instinct."

She gave a serious look on her face.
"And, other than Samus, I am pretty much the only other person who has come in contact with extraterrestrial life. And I have spoke in peace with aliens on multiple occasions. Believe me Yorick, I forgave them for their transgressions and it wasn't easy. And that is the most important thing you must do if you are to understand an intelligence other than humans. And since there has been no record of them being here in the past, and that they were dropped off here suddenly, they might as well be extraterrestrials. And we have heard from multiple sources that that is the case. They don't operate the way you do. You cannot expect them to operate the same way as humans. Once you spend time with them, then that is the time you know how they operate."

"And finally, please let go of my arm." Keeping the same expression.
