Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[warren_bearclaw]

As expected, Iosse didn't exactly receive a warm welcome.... But what he hadn't counted on was the sudden arrival of an Andalite. It entered, and after only laying all four eyes on him, it raised it's deadly tail in an instant. He wondered if it made a difference to the Andalite that he wasn't a Controller any more... probably not, since he was hoping to become one again in the near future. One person seemed to be none too bothered by him, and after a moment or so told him where he was. But "Galaxy's Edge Space Bar" didn't mean anything to him. He figured it meant he was a long way from anywhere he knew. And figuring that out wouldn't help him much if he was killed by the obviously angered Andalite. He tried to answer, in hopes that cooperating might allow him to live.

"Yyyyyohssssssskss. Kkkkklawwssssst nnnnndt Sskraynnnnntded. Lnneed Reeeeyearkkss...."

Would the Andalite understand him? Would he attack if he didn't? Iosse was nervous... he got hungry when he was nervous.

We reentered the bar. The Andalite had come here.

<Andalite. Do you still wish to continue in the reconstruction of our vessel?>

There was a Taxxon next to him, <Species: Taxxon. Unable to be assimilated. You will be obsolete in the new collective.>

[Chad32]

Claxter thought the Taxxon controller said his name was Yoks, and that it needed Yeerks. <There are other controllers on this asteroid that may or may not help you, Yoks. I'm not sure how much.> He noticed Salem was able to understand the controller with his small machine. <Salem, perhaps I can let you help the taxxon controller, assuming you understand him better. Or her.>

Theta returned abruptly. Claxter had been too distracted to notice. <Um, sure. Just a minute.> he said and turned to Sapphire. <I'm going to go help theta. perhaps you can stay at the bar and drink as you get more comfortable with the surroundings. Do you have means to defend yourself, in case any...denizens...ge t aggressive?> He said. He didn't want to be too offensive, but obviously a hungry Taxxon was not enjoyable to be near.

<Ok, Theta. I'll go and assist Silver with repairing your ship.>

[RAFrukh]

We looked at the Andalite.

Looks so much like another Andalite I used to know...

<You and the human may continue repairs in section Zeta-2. Three units will help you. We will look for more help.>

We walked up to the taxxon, Our andalite tail lax behind Us.

<Taxxon. Do you wish to remain until the galaxy has been assimilated? Or would ou rather die now?>

[Chad32]

<Very well.> Claxter said ans started to leave. Then he heard what theta said. <Theta. Don't threaten to kill anyone in this bar, or assimilate them. You'll be the one eliminated if you don't act nicer around here. Believe me. These people have repeatedly ganged up on individuals attacking each other.>

[warren_bearclaw]

Iosse just about panicked. Another Andalite! This one was... odd.. though. Nevertheless, it had the killing tail, and that was all he was worried about. He backed up, and was debating whether or not he should fight for his life, when the first Andalite seemed to 'come to his defense'. How confusing.... He walked slowly back towards the door he'd come through. Someone had said there were Yeerks here.... he'd just have to find them...

[RAFrukh]

I ****ed my head, <Indeed? We do not believe there are many species that can resist Static Ion radiation or Quantryon particle beams. We come equipped with this kind of weaponry. Be grateful you were not assigned to be assimilated by Alpha units. You would all be part of the collective now.>

...Vetaq, I thought, He looks like... Vetaq...

<But We do not wish to harm anyo ne here before the assimilation process starts... very well.>

I turned to the Taxxon, as he backed out the door, <You will live another day.>

[Chad32]

Claxter made his way to theta's ship, and asked the drones to point to Sector Zeta-2. He found silver there as well. <Hey. Someone fell into the lake from thin air. I took her to the bar.> <<I do not know if there are security cameras around here, but if there are not we may want to try to smuggle an important part out. Maybe illusions could help.>>

[RAFrukh]

We walked back towards my Transport and walked in. We met up with the human and andalite.

<Let's get started.>, We walked to a mechanism hyperstore and ordered a Intraspanner, hypostore gun, and duomagnetic retriever.

We handed the H.G. to the Andalite and the DMR to the Human, <The Hypostore gun stores things in a quantum state and can interface with that hyperstore over there to communicate data. It will be used to pick up stray pieces for later use. The duomagnetic retriever will be used to reach objects in out-of-reach spaces, picking them up for uses present tense.>

To the Andalite, <Be careful where you aim that thing. It doesn't kill, but if you were to trap anything in it –– a vital mechanism or a living creature –– it will be placed in cryobiotic stasis in it's quantum state and can't be retrieved except by interfacing with the Hyperstore.>

[Chad32]

Claxter began using the Hyperstore gun as instructed, and spoke privately to Silver. <<This is good. If we can get the whole crew into one spot, I could use this to put them all in stasis. Then I can report to Prince Ossanlin and we can try to figure out how to free them from assimilation.>>

[Saphire]

When Saph entered the bar, she got a big surprise. Almost like a scene out of a movie, there were several different types of creatures filling the small cabin- Her mind catalouged them all. Unfortunately, it catalouged them LOUDLY.

<Somebluehorseswiths pikytailsandsnailey es,giantworminthemiddleoftheroomwithhugeteeth,table,chair,light-fixture,fireplace,whatseemtobepeoplesittingatvariousplacesaroundtheroom,cowboy,bartender?Machinesthattalk,MOREVOICESINMYHEAD,what-getadrink?Carpet-Red,It'sdiminhere,whoareTHEY?,ihearhissing,where'sClaxtergoing?Okay no- wait->

All she could manage was a hurried nod to the horse-thing before watching him turn and leave with an odd machine-like creature. The fox moved cautiously over to one of the barstools and sat, her body posture suggesting that this was something she might've done every day. She set her cheek in her palm and her elbow on the counter, apparently staring off into space. Her ears tilted when anyone spoke, so they constantly adjusted minimal amounts to catch even the smallest of sounds..
To any that could hear her thoughts though, the ruse was as good as exploded. She had no idea what this place was, WHERE she was, or what to do about it. In fact, those three thoughts were rather prevalent in her mental ramblings. As the "supposed" bartender approached her, the fox blinked, temporarily caught off guard.

"..Do you have.. Mirsha juice?"

The fox watched as the bartender left, not even saying a word. Looking to the left, she saw a small stack of straws..
<Those blue things are so BIZARRE.. Not very appealing either, hooves, long horn-tails, creepy eyes? And that WORM.. It's freaking me out.. Wonder if it's aggressive? Probably not.. Most probably aren't agressive. Not here. Not with so many people.. they're not people, they're Creatures. Right? I've no clue. Straws. I miss straws. It's been a long ti- Oh. Someone's using them. Nevermind. What's over there..?>

(I'm assuming SHE dosen't hear ALL the thoughtspeak.. =/ not sure what's being broadcast..)

[Stephquiem]

Fiona rubs her eyes. "I spoke too soon about the zoo thing." She shakes her head. "Here," she says, pushing the pile of straws toward the newcomer. "Knock yourself out, kid. They're all yours."

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"Temrash? What do you say we get a drink? It's easier to discuss plans over a drink."
Kevlin shrugged.

[Chad32]

"Yeah, I probably need a drink. No need to be cooped up in the ship." He said and left. He closed the hatch after Kevlin came out, and headed to the bar. After entering, he noticed an unfamiliar fox person, but didn't say anythign to her. He ordered a drink and relaxed in a stool.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver nodded to him as she looked at the odd device she had been given. <<You do know that I have little to no skills at mechanics, right?>> she told Claxter. <<If it comes down to it I'll use the Abyss of Fear.>> no one wanted to get caught in her abyss unless they could truly face their fears with no trouble. She has only met a select few who could. <<I'm screwed.... I could only help Father with his ship because my hands were smaller and he showed me how to use the device and I still shocked myself....>>
