*holds Starla anyway* ... I guess you didn't know that you were sick. In fact, the sickness might be making you paranoid. *to Amroppe* To a holding cell in the Hunter Base. Don't worry. She won't be hurt.*they teleport to a receiving pad in the Hunter Base* Starla: *In a mix of anger and disbelief.* S-sick...? (Something does seem off... Has seemed off... But how do I know she's not lying...?) *Nevertheless, there's nothing she can really do now.* : *Nods.* Okay. (Don't worry Starla, we can help you now...) *She looks around the Hunter Base as soon as she's teleported.* I've never been here before... *guiding Starla down the hall* Yes. We think you've been infected with something that's affecting your brain. We're going to have to run some tests to confirm it. *looks at Amroppe* Well, we tried to design it to be both efficient and strong. What do you thing? *they walk into an elevator* *looks over* Oh. There you are. Sigma has returned. Wait here. I'll let know you've arrived. *walks off* Dirty and Classic: Alright. Ginga: *glances around* ...Scorch marks... *walks in* You must be the workers I was told about. I know this place isn't exactly a good base... it was only dug out a couple days ago, and we haven't had much time to work on it. But I hear you're going to let us use an *surprised tone* operational base in the sky?

(That better not be another word for torture...): *Is still looking around in awe.* This place looks wonderful. Nice and clean and... *She's still staring around.* (Some of these places are nothing like home. This place is very nice.) *She follows them into the elevator.*

Classic: We've built several before. *eyebrows raise briefly* And built in such a short time... Very impressive. Yes... unfortunately, we haven't been able to do much on our own. I'm surprised we managed to get what we do have. Taking that into account, as well as our compromised location, we've agreed to accept your offer. However, if we're careful, we may continue to use these mountains as a mine. We've found that they're rather rich. In fact, we've got a stockpile in one or two of the chambers. *guiding Starla down the hall* Yes. We think you've been infected with something that's affecting your brain.

But we need them to make a good diagnosis. *some laughter at Amroppe's comment* Well I never expected anybody to call it 'wonderful.' But thank you. *they exit the elevator and head out into the hall*

This sounds less like sharing and more like... well, we do have access to more resources then them, so I guess it makes sense...And Swash isn't big on being underground anyway)

I didn't want to use 'you' at any point because it excludes the speaker, but I guess using 'we' throughout the whole thing did make it sound so that it's excludes the listener whole time through... Hmm... How to address this in the future... Maybe writing more body language.)) *nods* Alright then. How soon can we get to work? Is there anything else that we need to know?

((Ah. So she's never heard of a mine, then? Where does she think one gets metal from, then [particularly ore]?)) Hmm... Could you make the exit a teleporter pad inside the mountain? It could connect to one in the sky base. Then materials could be transferred right over, and potential intruders would have an even harder time finding an entrance.

Dirty and Classic: Good idea. We can do that.

We'll let you out once we're sure there's nothing to be worried about. *picks up speed* Unfortunately, Alia and I both have work to do. However, we'll call someone to do the tests for us. Neither of us knows much about Human bodies anyway. *to Layer* Speaking of which, you haven't got your repairs yet, have you? No. That's one of the things we must do, and it's where I'm heading now. *they come to the door of what looks like a cross between an operation room and a repair shop* *Pallette can be seen helping with things, and X can be seen in one of the maintenance beds*[rand=430609121484891940753457934793615409471973809329164525542178455527]
