Re: Dark Places

After getting a little scared that her words about a leak in the poorly sealed ship somehow called for calamity , Turana waits for the ship to respond to Y'breg question.. as a wright she must be surely fascinated for what type of being the ship is.. while Turana also wonders how did those quintpods survive in that sterile rock .. other than eating unsuspecting portal visitors.. she is glad that she might never see those things again

Re: Dark Places

Lyle is unusually quiet- partly because this was a whole new ball of cheese for him. It’s almost as if he misses the auto pilots insults because he’s delighted it’s talking. Impressed By the piloting displayed by Emmett, he asks the veteran soldier about all the buttons.

Re: Dark Places

The assistant blinks at you, or the display seems to. "Earth? Hmm. That backwater swamp? No wonder you left. It's much closer to the sun, about halfway from where we are. Me, I'm from the Grantovius Complex," it says proudly. "I don't know how I got here. My prior operators saw fit to ignore my helpful advice and disabled me shortly after taking command of the shuttle. Where did that get them? Apparently dead and eaten by those rock parasites. Ha!"

Jaz tilted his head side to side. " Makes sense that you know your business. What should we call you?

"You may call me Adiutor. Will you introduce yourselves and should we set a destination? You are very vulnerable out here in the void. Food and water may become an issue."

Re: Dark Places

I’m Lyle. Sorry did you say ‘trouble getting food and water?’- What did those beasts on the rock eat?"

Re: Dark Places

"I am Y'breq. As for a destination, home would be a nice start."

Re: Dark Places

Adiutor's image on the display fractures and swirls before reforming.

"Hello Lyle and Y'breq. I have scanned the rock but I cannot tell what is within. I do not know what the parasites found for nourishment. Y'breq, I do not know where your home is, but I can take us to orbit around the Earth. I do not think that we should land there, however, as the panels on the craft would be torn off and the we would all likely be incinerated by the reetnry process."

Again, the image fractures and swirls before reforming, which you take to mean that it is doing something else.

"Might I suggest that we find a location for repairs first?"

Re: Dark Places

Lyle turns to his companions, "Theres always the portal to get back, right? After we fix this boat we can check in with Cooper…" Lyle shrugs.

"I think checking in with Cooper would be best. Both for us and Adiutor. Maybe Cooper eill have an Idea of how or where to repair. I'm D'Jazyt, y the way. You can call me Jaz"

Re: Dark Places

"Hello, Jaz. I do not know this Cooper. Perhaps you could provide a location and I could assist pilot Emmett in navigating to there. Would you like for me to demonstrate the navigation subroutine?"

Re: Dark Places

Ohh, so if you do not know Cooper i guess your home world would be a better place to repair ...you? if the air there is something we can breath of course, like the one we are breathing now. Also im Turana and i dedicate to investigate the wisdom of other worlds other than ours.. mainly from other times but i’m also curious about the ones in other parts of the sky

Re: Dark Places

Lyle scratches his head "Well if we could see Earth from Coopers house, then it must be floating outside it. Like the moon. Except much smaller."

Re: Dark Places

"Hello, Turana. My home, at least, the city where I was constructed, was located here in the asteroid belt on an asteroid called 16 Psyche. It is a long way from here, although not as far as Earth. It is approximately seven degrees spinward."

To Lyle, he says, "It must be in orbit. It would be hard to find without knowing where to look. It could take some time to conduct a search, unless his house is very large."

Re: Dark Places

Emmett checks his finger. It still aches. "Damned thing went right under the nail..." He mutters to himself.

Turning to Lyle, he explains as best he can. "Not gonna lie, there's a lotta learnin' by doin', but I always felt that was the best way. I pulled on this one, and it nearly leapt upwards, but that one started her up whirrin' and hummin', so I figured that....." He gets lost in explanation, showing his pride in BSing his way through spaceflight. In reality, there was likely a lot of the heavy lifting being performed by Adiutor.

He turns to the panel. "And I'm not sure I like bein' called a nosepicker tribe, least not by somethin' that stabs folk indiscriminately. In any case, I don't know how long this bucket of bolts will hold together, no offense meant, so headin' to your home might be best. I won't feel right until we finish Coop's job, but I'd feel worse if all the air got sucked out."

Re: Dark Places

The somewhat annoying assistant blinks at you several times. "I have laid in a course for both the Grantovius Complex where repairs of my structure might be facilitated, and for Earth where we may attempt to contact your Cooper. Please select one and we will.begin our journey."

Re: Dark Places

OOC:

Emmett wants to finish the job, but also not die, so he's leaning towards the Grantovius Complex. Anyone else have a preference?

Let's let our ship get repaired. And check in with Cooper through the portal.

Re: Dark Places

OOC:

I also think that using the portal once the ship is repaired would be interesting.. after all it is atached the back of the ship somehow, which makes me wonder how that would be posible but the ship not being able to locate Cooper , like someone created the conection between cooper's station and the portal in the ship, so if im getting this right, the ship is being sent to destinations so others can get there after..like providing a passage.... lets see what we find in that repair's station

Re: Dark Places

Sounds good to me. Repairs then check in.
