Troperia Training Room:

Meanwhile Torvahk continued his exercise routine as he began using one of the treadmills inside the small(?) gym of a room. He was genuinely surprised how slow the machine went, but then realized that it wasn't designed with Kahmandra in mind. How could they be aware of a race that walked rather quickly and could run anywhere between 8-12 MPH depending on how fit one was? Torvahk spent the first 5 minutes warming up at 8 MPH before speeding up to 11.5 MPH and running for 15 minutes. He intended to slow down at 6MPH for the last 5 minutes, however the transition was so unexpectedly sudden that Torvahk ended up unintentionally jumping over the treadmill, and would have splatted into the wall had it not been for his quick reflexes as he wall jumped and backflipped back on his feet...then immediately collapsing as he landed the wrong way and almost gave himself a hernia.

"My brother taught me, really." Mitch says to Blake. "Well, you might wanna take another couple steps backwards for this, then."

He says to Merrick. He inhales a large amount of air, then puts his hands in front of his mouth horizontally, creating a small space. He faces a wall, then shoots out a small projectile from his mouth with a thin, focused trail of hot air behind it. It hits the wall and creates a sizable explosion, very powerful for a projectile of that size.

Peter laughs out loud for a moment at Rakiri's reaction, almost falling over. After he calms down a bit, he looks at the paintings. "Aha... ha... I think those look pretty good, babe." He says to Chris.

"I know, right?" Izzie says in between bites.

"I do. It's just that not everyone here's-" Val suddenly chortles seemingly out of nowhere.

"What is it?" Izzie asks, confused.

"Oh, nothing." Val replies, chuckling.

"Alright then. If you insist," Caska said. "Wait a minute, how do you know my name?"

Rero.

Sorry not feeling great so this might be a little rushed.

Blake watches with anticipation as Mitch does his work. Watching the explosion unflinching but instead with a bit of a smirk. "Impressive work." He respond clapping with a clear look of calculation, trying to figure out how it was done and how strong exactly that was.

The Bridge

The game between the two continue till one point the giant alien tries to move to end it and.... Kyerine warps, ontop of it. The creature pausing confused and spinning and looking to find it, again, and again, and again and again till Kyerine becomes so dizzy he kinda bumbles off into the Doctor.

The insectoid then carefully reaching out and just tapping him on the head with a peripalp, perhaps to indicate "I win".

The Brig

Michael shaken and in panic after stunning Matthew fumbles to grab his communicator and begins to send out a message to everyone aboard the ship nearby. ''Its Michael please get to the Brig immediately, i'm trapped and Matthew is armed! Get here quick, please!" Hoping someone is close by enough to get the message.

I'll leave it up to individual players if any of their character get the message or not.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Docks

Aasha just shakes her head at Chris offering to pay for the paintings. She holds the paintings closer to him.

"No, no, please. I couldn't accept your money for these after you've let me come along for the ride. You can have these smaller ones for no charge. It's just something I do as a hobby, really."

She shrugs in response to Amos' suggestions.

"Well, it's not like I'm travelling with a lot. I guess I'll come with you all. After all, I won't know my way around the ship! Don't wanna get lost before we even leave."

She covers her mouth as she lets out a small chuckle.

Troperia, Bridge

Mireille couldn't help but giggle at the sight, she gently pat Kyerine on the head and ruffled his hair "Good try Kyerine~" She gently let him down should he feel less dizzy, looking to the insect with a smile "So you do seem to have humour, do you not?" She chuckled.

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Troperia Bridge:

After spending a few moments recovering, Torvahk decided to continue his workout, although he had some difficulty deciding what to do next. He eventually settled for trying out a machine that would be classified as home gym equipment, which offered a variety of different anaerobic exercises, each with adjustable weight settings. Torvahk would then spend the next 15 minutes trying out a variety of exercises posted on the machine and work out various muscle groups, but about halfway through would notice that he was starting to build up quite a bit of heat. He then decided to unzip and remove the sleeves on his arms to try and cool off a bit, setting them on his armor before continuing to strengthen himself.

Taking a break from that, Tor moves on to something else, performing a few stretches before taking a seat on the mat, legs crossed. He seems to now be taking some time to meditate.

"Well, that makes sense. Well, in that case, come on. We can continue on now, I suppose." Amos says with a nod and continues forward to the transit things. Cat!Rakiri meanwhile just kinda keeps perched on Peter's shoulder, obviously still embarrassed.

Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.

"Indeed, sir. You might also consider presenting yourself to him once you're comfortable. You'll see what I mean. I'll be in this side room, monitoring.

Ricardo seems to have spaced again - receiving some sort of communique, probably, and Kijo has gone to eating as well.

Alexander - Restricted Access

David steps from Brindle's office with a mixed expression on his face. Part of him is furious, part of him is relieved, and part of him is just plain confused. He needs a drink...

Troperia Bridge:

By the time Torvahk was finished with the home gym equipment, he was starting to feel the effects of exercising. While his species were physically incapable of sweating, he would begin panting and while he was incapable of fogging up the inside of his helmet, Torvahk still felt it was necessary to remove it and set it by his armor even though nobody (with the exception of Michael) would be able to understand what he was saying without it on. Torvahk shrugged this fact off, thinking he wouldn't have to worry about encountering anyone anytime soon, and also inferred that some ideas could be communicated and universally understood.

After spending a few minutes wondering what to do next, Torvahk noticed a training dummy on the other side of the training room. It had a much more humanoid shape than he expected, but he didn't care. Torvahk figured that his future opponents would exist in a variety of forms, humanoid included. For the next 5 minutes, Torvahk would focus himself on attacking the dummy in a variety of ways, most of which involved kicking, kick-scratching, punching, scratching, elbow striking, throwing , jumping, stomping, and even using his hand cannon (with the safety on of course) to strike his foe. Most of his attacks were delivered in swift, three-hit combos with the first two hits meant to disorient (and curiously never starting with a kick) and the third hit containing the most power and usually delivered with a kick or jump attack of some kind.

A few minutes later Torvahk would get so carried away with attacking the training dummy as if it were a real attacker that he ended up planting his Kroosha combat knife inside its sternum before sawing its gut a bit, pulling out the knife, then slitting its throat and punching it off the ground. The dummy would land faceup, and while it was still usable and relatively intact, Torvahk had given it plenty of cuts and accidentally destroyed its left shoulder.

Dominic is slightly confused by what the man means, but doesn't ask for an explanation or show it much. He sits down and waits for whatever happens next.

Docks -> Roof

"Well, if you say so." Peter says to Aasha. He looks back to Cat!Rakiri. "Come on, let's go get your clothes." He says to him, still smiling. He surfs over to the ship's exterior, then stretches a little before mentally activating the grappling hooks on his gauntlets (yes, he's wearing his armor).

Peter makes a punching motion upwards, releasing the cable. The hook attaches itself to the ship's wall a few feet up, and he starts to quickly pull upwards and launches himself. Just before retracting the cable, he releases the one on his other arm and repeats a few times, launching himself repeatedly. He stops in mid-air, just above and a few feet away from the roof. His boots shoot out a burst of air, along with his palms, to push him over, and he lands with a slight crouch.

He walks over to Rakiri's clothes, and grabs them... and then he puts them over his side to store them inside his spacefolding pack, the clothes shrinking and seemingly disappearing into thin air.

Mitch is preparing his next shot when he hears Michael's message. "Oh damn, that doesn't sound good." He immediately drops down and seamlessly reforms the lava and other debris back to the floors & walls. He then grabs his shirt and runs out of the room, putting it back on while on the way.

Brig

Mitch tunnels out of a wall, the hole closing behind him. He spots Matthew's cell and runs over, starting to unlock it.

Blake's communicator suddenly buzzes with the message as well and has a immediate freak out. Quickly rushing to hit the emergency shutdown button for the Nexus systems, not to leave them unmanned while in testing phase still, throwing his tools and equipment to the side and he also rushes out of the room.

The Bridge

The insectoid taps its second-left leg twice with a slightly high pitched squeal at what the doctor said. Meanwhile Kyerine just rubs his head a bit and looks a little confused, though he does nuzzle the hand ruffling his hair.

Alexander Station

Docks

Russell looks a little confused as Peter grapples up onto the roof. Looking around a little towards Aasha, Amos and Chris. "Uh... Did he just.... Well I guess that is one way up." The confused boy comments aloud not entirely sure what just happened from the sounds alone but able to piece together enough to be both confused yet kinda getting it at the same time making him mostly surprised.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Greg peeks his head into the doorway of the brig. "Uh...what's going on in here, now?" he asks before stepping inside.

On Peter's Shoulder

Cat!Rakiri just kinda looks at Peter as they head back over to the ship. "Ok. We've gotta head back inside...then...wha-" he starts and stops as Peter suddenly starts flinging them into the air with his grapples. "W-WHOAAAAAA...!" he exclaims at the sudden acceleration, keeping a death grip on Peter's shoulder.

When the wild ride finally stops, he keeps holding his grip on Peter, his body now quite visibly shaking. "Gah! Can ya warn someone if you're gonna do that!? Seriously I-...oh...uh...damn it..." he trails off, now looking a bit embarrassed. Peter will probably reason why since there's now some wetness trailing down his shoulder.

Amos watches Peter as well before looking back to Russell. "Can't say it's really safe, but...well, it worked, I guess." he shrugs. He pulls up a screen, downloading a map of the station.

Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.

Mitch rushes up to the barrier, attempting to open it up; luckily Michael's previous interaction reset its password so it is pretty easy to deactivate. Michael is upon the corner of the cell quickly crawling and dashing out of the room in clear shock.

Matthew is curled up upon the floor wreathing in pain, with both the bloody knife only a little bit in front of him though there was no blood trail or signs of injury on either of them. Michael's taser on the floor where he was cowering.

"T-thanks... I-I-he..." Michael trying to calm himself from the confusion, hiding near the Captain.

Mireille ruffled Kyerien's hair a bit more seeing his enjoyment. "So my faithful and best assistant~ What do you propose we do first?" Mireille gave a smile, for her communication between a professor and their assistants was quite important... then again the same thing was true for most Cenne.

Chris giggles at Rakiri and Pete♂ and picks out a painting of a desert with beautiful striped hills and deep red canyons, "Thanks, then. I'll keep it in our room...behind fireproof glass...probably need to figure out how to make that."

"Heh, we can give you a tour, don't worry."

"I can't help it, though. I just wanna see your-" Peter starts to say to Rakiri when he notices the trail of liquid down his shoulder (which thankfully doesn't soak into the armor). "What is... OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" He screams, barely stopping himself from running around and throwing Rakiri off his shoulder. He gathers the urine off of him and into a ball, before throwing it far, far away into the distance.

"You know, I might not have objected to that, but definitely not while you're a cat..." Peter whispers to Rakiri rather awkwardly, taking out some water and freezing it into an ice platform. He steps onto it, gliding down back towards the docks and catching up to the others.

Aasha follows Amos, still with a twinge of excitement.

"Wait, where are you going anyways?"

Laughter breaks over her at seeing the situation between Peter and Rakiri, though more because of the hilarity than in mocking.She smiles when Chris picks out a painting, then gets a little bit nervous when he mentions fireproof glass.

"Why, uh, would you need fireproof glass? Do fires regularly happen on your ship?"

Hearing that Sha'Koro looked up... before he came here he'd never thought he'd be motivated by monetary rewards... but seeing the enormous amounts that he needed for the repair...
