I feel like I should have noticed…” Looking back and forth between himself and the stormtrooper, Nick continues, “Connect to SIMON and he’ll explain the long part. The gist is that I think that thing lives here, and wants us gone. I personally would be fine with being gone, but I don’t think the whatever-it-is would just let us walk away.” “And it likes throwing rocks.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stormfather He/Him Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 The red eyes blink a few times, growl, and seem to get a bit farther away. You can tell from the tone of its growling that it’s just realized how many of you there are. But still, two pebbles are launched at Larry. @AltonicKeys 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walks forward, confident that the new suit layer will protect him from the pebbles. I believe @J. Magi is in front of him, but Nick would try to go around if he didn't move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just going to touch you, and then you’ll be asleep.” he says soothingly (his voice sounds nervous, but SIMON doctored the version coming through the speakers). Little balls of sedative well up from the fabric of Nick’s glove, and he puts it to the creature’s skin, weathering the thrashing with the knowledge that his suit will protect him. If it’s earth compatible, it falls asleep. If it’s not, this is likely poison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry shakes Nick's hand, unsure if he's heard of his organization. "Soldier 014, division 5, but the others," he nods to Aki and Kaleb, "They address me as Larry. You can do the same if you wish." With a tap, Larry connects to SIMON on his wrist. Quote Would Larry recognize the IISC? Assuming they're in the same world, it could be something that popped up in history, or still active.

With a tap, Larry connects to SIMON on his wrist. “Nice to meet you, Larry. You’re an imperial stormtrooper? From Star Wars? A lot of strange things have happened to me in the past few weeks, but this may be the strangest. At least there’ll be someone who can accept my technology level.” SIMON speaks through the communicator. “Hello! I’m SIMON, Nick’s suit AI. He’s able to talk to you now, though, so you don’t really need me.” Quote The IISC stands for Interstellar Intelligent Species Council, and is pronounced like Issac. Even if they are from the same world, Larry is from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Nick, on the other hand, has watched Star Wars movies, because he’s from future Earth’s interstellar society (unless you want to veto the existence of Star Wars. Which is fine.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So we can just leave?" Quote You can keep Star Wars in, because I think that's hilarious. I'm just never going to mention anything actually in it by name, but keep him as close to a stormtrooper as possible.
