Who: Ulaz and you!
Broadcast: Video Fleetwide
Action: SS Caprine
When: 1/20

[As if waking up on a strange ship alone wasn't enough when Ulaz knew he shouldn't be there, now he was on yet another ship. This really was not funny. His attempts to try and get information through hacking had been poor at best and he was no closer to figuring what had happened.

He had learned one thing though; he did not like confetti. It was not amusing in the least.

He'd been pretty much silent so far - if being a Blade had taught him nothing else, it was how to make as little noise as possible. But now he doesn't really have a choice]

Can someone explain what is going on here? First I was on one ship and now another, neither of them where I should be. This must be a joke.

[And why does he say that? Hmm...]

I'm a dream-eating spirit. A baku.

[not just her name, but a description. She doubts he knows what a baku is, though, given how many humans in general didn't seem to know]

Mm, okay. What do you want to see next? There's a kitchen and a - I think they call it a recreation area? There's karaoke.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz just stared. The word "baku" had no meaning to him, but dream-eating spirit was interesting]

I can't say that I have ever heard of a baku before.

Kitchen would probably be best, then the recreation area.

["Karaoke" also has no meaning to him]

[dreamvour]

That's fine, most people haven't. I'm pretty exclusive to the country I live in now and the one I was born in.

Okay, kitchen's this way - [she pushes off the doorway to head back down to the kitchen area] Can I ask what planet you come from? I'm not familiar with your kind, either.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ulaz followed after her as she moved away from the lab and started down the area towards the kitchen]

The Galra are originally from the planet Daibazaal. Ten thousand years ago the planet became unstable and was destroyed. However, this hasn't stopped the Galra Empire from expanding their reaches to the known universe under Zarkon's reign.

[Yes, he knows about the Galra, but she's definitely going to get the negative view of the empire here. Too bad there is no such thing as a neutral opinion of them]

[dreamvour]

[the negative view is curious, but she doesn't seem too surprised, either. She'll accept any view, as long as it answers her curiosity]

I'm assuming that original planet is outside of our Solar System? Or has things changed in the time you're from?

[scalpelofmarmora]

[It would make more sense if she knew that he was basically fighting the Empire in order to stop what they were doing. Of course that may come up in due course of this conversation]

If you mean Earth, yes, Daibazaal was outside of that system. Very far out. The Earth I know became a safe haven for something that needed to be hidden from the Empire. And it wasn't found for ten thousand years despite the Empire's expansion.

[dreamvour]

Heeeh . . . [there's a bit of interest in your drawling hum, more than before] A lot of people like to hide important things on Earth, I've noticed. It's good that it wasn't found, yes?

[scalpelofmarmora]

Very. If Zarkon had managed to find all five, it would have been disastrous for the universe. They are the only things have the ability to stop him.

Eventually they did find it, but I'd guess the rightful pilot of the machine found it first considering it was with them and not with Zarkon.

[dreamvour]

Ah. Then I'm glad the right person found it first. It all sounds a bit complicated, though.

[as they approach the kitchen, Baku stops to allow Ulaz to go on ahead] We don't have a cook, so it's pretty much a free for all. But if there's anything in particular that you need, let me know. I can probably track it down.

[scalpelofmarmora]

It is. It is a long story, but those machines are better being controlled by someone else than Zarkon. If he did end up with them, nothing would be safe.

[Yeah, he pretty much just said the ruler of his own race can't be trusted with whatever was on Earth and it is completely true based on what he's seen]

I will let you know if I think of anything I need.

[dreamvour]

Mmm. I'll take your word for it. As long as no one gets hurt with them in control by whoever has them now.

[if she caught onto that, she doesn't flinch or even blink. She's a hard nut to crack]

Okay. I think that's it, really - the bridge is that way, [she gestures as she speaks] and you know where the cargo area is. Everything else is off ship on the Iskaulit.

[scalpelofmarmora]

They shouldn't. I trust the people who have them now.

[He glanced in the direction of the bridge when she indicated it]

So what is on the Iskaulit?

[dreamvour]

A few bars, a garden, a gym, a library . . . [she tilts her head, humming in thought] There's other things, too, but I don't go over there often.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Sounds like there is a lot on the Iskaulit. I'll have to see what is there for myself. This has been helpful.

[The tour in general not just information on the Iskaulit]

[dreamvour]

Mm, that might be for the best. There's a lot to do, so you're not stuck on the ship.

[she inclines her head] I'm glad to help. If you have any other questions, you know where to find me.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I don't have any more at this moment. If I think of more, I'll ask.

[Or if you know he actually gets bored and wants someone to talk to]
