"I dunno, Broom. Frank, are you one of his fans?"
"I'm sure he is. He may perhaps hide it, but I know how he really feels. I'm excellent when it comes to reading people.
"Ah, then yes, one of your fans did just sabotage my ship. While I was keeping an eye out and fixing your railgun, Frank decided to fukcing electrocute himself somehow and probably fried half the electronics in my ship, and then proceeded to land on my robot arm. Nice job, Frank! I was hoping we'd gotten rid of an idiot when we scammed Bob, but it looks like we picked up another sack of shit with a cryogenic IQ instead. At least the only person taking hits for Lemons' idiocy was Lemons. Frank, if you get shot… it's all duct tape. Only reason you'll get anything is 'cause you gave me that coag."
"Ah, but that's where you're wrong - sometimes searching for something is more important than actually finding it."
He glances at you, very briefly. "You do not," he affirms simply.outlander wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 4:34 pmShiver me timbers and damn me the depths! I don't like this guy. He seems...unnatural. Non-human. Mechanical. There's no Lord's light in him at all.
Take two small steps forward.
"I am afraid you are having us at a disadvantage. Apparently, you seem to know us, but I don't think we know you."
The man replies to your last question first, musing over your response. "They didn't tell you... curious. ...But perhaps there is another explanation." He pauses for a moment, as though calculating. The soft clicking sound continues in the silence. When he finally speaks: "And, yes, I can 'hear' your radio communications system. It unfortunately does not provide the same information depth as a physical presence. I found passive observation of your group to be insufficient, and thus, you are here. However... this alone continues to fail to properly explain the anomalies." He puts a slight emphasis on this last sentence.cuisinart8 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 4:37 pmI step into the nacelle to be greeted by a bizarre sight- a man standing in the open air without a helmet! Something just looks...off about him. I find myself instantly creeped out.
I cautiously advance towards the rest of the squad, lowering my weapon. No need to provoke an adverse response- though something tells me the electrorifle would do little more than annoy him.
"We've been 'open with each other?' You've been listening in on our comms? What do you want? And what the hell do you mean we were here to help the squids? They hate us!"
My unease grows the more I think about this. Some random...thing, because no human could breathe this atmosphere for long, that can simply tap into our comms, and seemed to know a lot about what was going on.
"At times," the man grants, "but not in this instance."Dinosawer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 20, 2018 2:02 am"Ah, but that's where you're wrong - sometimes searching for something is more important than actually finding it."
I carefully take Spoon out, holding it in a non-threatening way, but ready to deflect any attacks.
While I let my friends and Ishmael do the talking, I try to figure out what the bauble is mystery man is toying with, and closely observe him and our surroundings.
"Well that's just fukcing peachy. Frank, if I ever get your hands on you while you're injured, so help me I will fukcing drown you in isopropyl alcohol. The only reason I'd do that is if Vynka can't get to you, so you better start praying for her duct tape."0111narwhalz wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:26 pm"Ah, then yes, one of your fans did just sabotage my ship.

"Fine! So it's friggin duct tape and drowning in alcohol for me! Oh jolly! Can't friggin wait for that! I know, let's invite the squids too! Perhaps they friggin blow themselves into fried squid rings or something! And as I am obviously incapable of destroying the right things, I'll just stay out here and fix the mess I made myself! Because that's a way better idea than trying to do something else useful that might even involve me putting my hands on something pointy and dangerous again! Just friggin come and screw my head off already!"
((It's raining squadmates! Halleluja! Gosh, so shame atm ._.))
"Um, I just took this here baton out but... Yeah, whatever. *sigh* It's always Buck who has to rescue the damn day!"
