The ride went by uneventfully until Occii started emitting a beeping noise. As it turned out this was a kind of phone, and Occii handed to to Oirdz, who talked briefly on the phone with someone before hanging up, annoyed. "I need to go in. Important business." He reached forward, an input some kind of command into a screen in the transport. "I'll have to have someone else take you. Normally I'd have more warning but I need time to re-acclimate. You should understand." The transport pulls over by a busy station-looking area. "I'll have someone meet you here. They'll get you to were you need to be." --- "I'm very flattered. Such a poetic way to phrase it." He looks down at himself. "I can only hope my soul looks nothing like this." "What?" Rith asked. "I don't understand. You promised you wouldn't abandon us!" Silver exited the vehicle with their luggage. "You are not being abandoned, everything will be taken care of. Now get out, I have to go." Rith crawled out of the vehicle and gave it an angry hard stare as it drove away. ((scene finished with permission from Bun)) --- She laughed. "Aw, but you're cute! What do you want your soul to look like?" Rith and such are probably directed towards the ship that will take them where they need to go. --- Solluk answers flatly. "I want it to look like me, of course. I think I can remember what that looks like, but It's surely better than this." |

I trusted him!" --- "What do you look like?" she asked. "Do you have any pictures?" |

I think I can remember what that looks like, but It's surely better than this." They followed their directions, Rith fuming to herself. " He promised! I trusted him!" --- "What do you look like?" she asked. "Do you have any pictures?" When they get to the ship nothing really of value happens, but there is plenty of time to gripe and complain. Imagine the mediocrity of a modern airline but at least you have legroom. The ride is scheduled to be a full day, so at a certain point the lights are dimmed to simulate nighttime. It's well into the transportation before anything of interest happens. Suddenly, Interrupting whatever they might have been doing, the ship shudders greatly, the hull rattling as if something has crashed into it. There are no windows, so you cannot see what is outside. The emergency lights come on. ---- Solluk thought for a moment. "I do not posses any record of my appearance. Any images I would have to make myself. I was... far more elegant than I am now. My closest friends said my fins were my best quality...! It feels so restricting to sit upon the ground... I used to fly like a beautiful bird, or a vibrant fish!" |

Silver clung to her seat while Rith looked around. "What happened?" --- Taith seemed unsure of how to react. "You used to have fins? What happened to you? Why are there no records?" |

Silver clung to her seat while Rith looked around. "What happened?" --- Taith seemed unsure of how to react. "You used to have fins? What happened to you? Why are there no records?" The other passengers, although not too many, start to murmur uneasily. The ship jolts again, followed but an uncanny silence before the door to the captain's section of the ship bursts open by means other than it's hinges. Smoke billows out of the opening causing the other passengers to cough and flinch back. In the doorway stands a relatively short figure, short enough to clearly not be a Trallyr, with a weapon of sorts that seems too large for his frame. It's from the barrel of this weapon the now smoldering door's destruction and the smoke came. When you can see it well enough you can see it's a Jalgar, and he's holding his weapon threateningly at the passengers. He speaks in his native tongue: <Hoho, how many ones on board? Scared little rats, hah. Not too many here, boss.> If they cannot understand, it sounds like a harsh Germanic tongue. What has happened in the captain's cabin is unclear. You can, however, hear that there are others inside. --- "Ah... it is a sad story, but this need not be a sad occasion. I'm just a Tolvanite, that's all there is." |

Silver flinched, surprised as any by the Jalgar. "What is that thing?" she whispered to Rith, who was too busy coughing to answer. --- "I've never heard of Tolvanites." Taith responded. "Maybe you can tell me later." She put an arm around him as the movie started. A fantastical tale about AI from completely different worlds meeting and falling in love. |

One of the passengers tries to charge at the Jalgar, as if to be a hero, but without any hesitation they are shot down by the Jalgar. It throws them against the back of the vehicle, clearly dead. The Jalgar grins like a child. <Why can't they just sit down, silly Trallyr.> The way he says Trallyr is recognizable but definitely.. strange to hear in his dialect. The remaining passengers cower in their seats. The Jalgar occasionally points the weapon threateningly at random individuals. It's easier to see now, but he has the weapon strapped to himself, which has to be the only reason he can hold it up. --- "Okay." Solluk watches the movie with keen interest, and seems invested in the plot. |

"What do you want?" she whispered, almost too quiet to be heard. Rith gestured at her to be silent, and she obeyed. Her wide eyes followed the strange alien. --- Taith's attention on the movie veered on occasion to Solluk, and at the end she signed happily and laid one of her hands on one of his. |

The Alien's disconcerting yellow eyes lock on Silver for a moment, but seem to move on from her quickly. He turns his head back to talk to those in the Pilot's bay, eyes still trained on the passengers. Weapon still aimed at them. <What do we got, boss?> Another Jalgar voice calls out from the bay. It's a deeper voice that seems uncomfortably charismatic and calm. <This one's got what we need on it. We're taking it.> The First Jalgar grins, and laughs a little. --- Solluk seems okay with it, but seems brimming with the desire to talk about the movie afterwards. |

There was the exit they came out of, but nothing waits for them outside the ship but cold empty space. There are likely no planets nearby either. The ship jolts, turning and beginning to move again. The engines fire but the ship is moving faster than it had previously been. A second, very tall and well-built Jalgar walks up behind the first enough to get a glance at the passengers. His facial expression is hard to read behind the gas mask that covers that lower half of his face. It looks stained with odd colors and is plugged into a pack on his back. His weapon seems to be for close combat. After looking he goes back to the other chamber. --- "Oh, it is amazing how they can capture the art of acting forever! Surely a genius way to treasure the culture of a generation..." His Ruki antennae twitch as an effect of his enthusiasm, not that he realizes it. "I wish we had invented such an amazing medium! We had audio recording down but not video..." |

I am from a different planet. I was given this body so I could interact with the world here." |

She'd suddenly remembered the communication device on her person. And remembered that calling for help, was, probably, an option. She didn't know how to contact Oirdz, the festering pile of kossac that he was for doing this to her, but she could contact the Rinamians. {To the Rianmians, to whom it may concern: Scrac in jeopardy, ship taken over by blue cyborgs of an unknown species, similar in build to Boris. Please notify Trallyr authorities.} --- "Oh, ok. Things are starting to make sense now. What's your world like?" Taith asked. |

His grin widens slightly, you can see one of his robots hands run a finger almost.. sensually down the weapon, closer and closer to the trigger. --- "Large and aquatic. The local fauna are exquisite, and there used to be many wonderful structures that floated across the currents.. But now we share it with the Trallyr. They orbit above the planet." |
