A cry for help

[thespaceopera]

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]


ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

I guess you have a point ...

[ She crosses her legs, putting her chin in her palm ]

I'm not sure. For some reason they've got a weird presence that's hard to detect ... but I'd be willing to bet there's a ton more way in there.

[save_the_souls]

You can't detect them well? That's odd.

[he frowns. It's pretty unusual when Ino's powers aren't useful. Then again...]

It was abnormally tough to cut through them with my claws. I still could, but it took more work. Is there any chance they could have a resistance to powers?

[ino]

It does seem like they're weirdly tough on top of that, huh ...

[ She sighs ]

I'd say it's just they have a tough shell, but normally that's not something that would mask them that way, too.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a headshake]

It's not. And Dr. Crusher was able to shoot them just fine - but I know my claws can pierce armour much better than bullets can.

[ino]

Eh? So the gun worked better?

[save_the_souls]

Yeah...

[He considers]

Maybe I should go back to my ship and grab some other weapons before scouting ahead.

[ino]

That might not be a bad idea. The less time they have to cause problems, the better.

[ And then, thoughtfully ] I wonder if the exploding tags would work, too ...

[save_the_souls]

Might as well try. Anything that'll give us an edge.

[He moves to stand, brushing himself off]

How about we meet back here in an hour. We can get some more weapons, and then check the place out together. [No, he doesn't think about asking his crewmates. He's used to fighting with Ino. A crewmate, one he's not comfortable with how much they can fight, would be someone he'd feel obligated to protect]

[ino]

[ Honestly, she doesn't even question it. She likes her crew, and many of them are plenty capable, but her and Allen mesh well enough together that she doesn't have to worry nearly as much. ]

Yeah, sounds like a plan. I don't like using the guns, but I guess whatever works will have to do.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...yeah. I don't practise with them all that much either. [Much too lethal for his taste normally] But we'll make do, I'm sure!
