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!

[Cole stands, rocking slightly for a long moment before dropping Simon's hands again, looking up at him.]

Machines... yes. No. They're empty. Machines have purpose. These... not right. COnfusing.

[Simon nods again.]

I think I may take River to see if we can catch one. Examine it, and see if we can find out more. Maybe... find out why they are so empty.

[killedwithlove]

How will you catch it?

[pompous_today]

River will most likely be able to disable it somehow. Or else kill it but leave enough intact so that we may carry it back to the ship. I am not sure trying to capture a live one would be a wise idea, given that they've attacked people.

[killedwithlove]

If it got free, it would hurt people.

[pompous_today]

I figured as much. Even the ones who are not actively hostile can turn so when provoked. So we will have to kill one, or else collect one of the dead ones the others have already killed.

[killedwithlove]

I can get a dead body. One of the already dead ones. Do you want one in pieces, or mostly intact?

[pompous_today]

As intact as possible, if you could. I'd like to learn as much as I can about them.

[killedwithlove]

I can do that.

[And Cole turns to go and get Simon the corpse he wants.]

[pompous_today]

I will be waiting on the Bloodsport.
