Troperia, Lab/biolab

Mireille quickly wrote every result down along with the explanation "Fascinating... and you guessed good, those would indeed have been tests I wanted to do~" She ruffled the boys hair "You're a great help Kyerine, I'm very proud of you~" She pointed to a nearby chair "How about we sit down for the next part? Its just a few questions I want to ask." She chuckled "No need to not get comfortable while doing that, right? you can take your little bear with you too if you like~"

"Heh, for a guy who saw that I can murder people if I want it, you're oddly trusting;"

She pulls herself out of the ship but stop.

"Not that I'd do that."

Trent leaps out.

"I like nice guys, so don't worry. I have an... odd, sense of humour."

Bridge

"Can't he just reprogram himself? Not that I mind him like this much." Peter says, actually finding Godsgift rather amusing.

"That's kind of a shame. Your species' psychology is quite unique." Val says to Whistler. "Anyways, would you like to go now?"

Lounge

Izzie eats as she listens to Sha'Koro and Russell for a while. She notes Amos' nervousness. "Oh. Were they close to you? It would help if we had a copy of their brain map."

Training Room

"That sounds like a pretty important mission. Do you still have contact with your superiors?" Dominic asks.

Dominic & Mitch's Room

Mitch steps out of the shower with Rakiri and starts to get himself dressed. "Hey, think you wanna go to the biolab?" He suggests after seeing the announcement on his interface.

The Troperia - Biolab

Kyerine nuzzles the hand as it ruffles his air, clearly enjoying the attention and praise. "Okay, can do!" he excitedly says picking up the shoe he pulled off and going over and sitting down on the chair besides Kyeman, the bear about the same size as him. Putting the shoe back on.

"Glad i'm helping." He states with childish pride.

The Troperia - Longue —> Hallway

Russell nods to Amos then quickly looking back to Sho'koro. "That is really cool, i've only got my board! Anyway I need to go for now. Talk to both of you later." He states waving in the pairs vague direction, trying to focus it more on Aicha.

Michael nods to Amos. "Yeah come on you t-two, we can talk on the way. We shouldn't leave Blake waiting too long..." He states leading the trio of Amos, Russell and Izzie towards the Medbay.


As the group is walking Russell kinda speaks up now in a more worried tone as they are walking. "You wanted to make me a suit right..? That is neat and all but I wont be able to hear the outside if there is no air anyway. I'll be more blind than usual..." He brings up, clearly concerned deeply about the subject. Disregarding the fact his situation hasn't been explained to Izzie.

Troperia, Lounge

Sha'Koro nodded "Thank you, I'm looking forward to see you again." Aicha all the while waved back, a nearly childish smile on her face.

Troperia, Lab/Biolab

"Good~" She sat down on another chair "So, first of all, do you get exhausted when you do this?" She asked with a warm smile, the note paper before her.

Mireille wrote that down "Ah so not much, that's good to hear~ And it also answers my next question if you can control this. So, do you know if this talent of yours becomes stronger or weaker with age?"

Kyerine quirks his head to the side thinking. "Yeah I have some control, we learn when we're young to do it even when asleep so we don't break anything but if I let it the lights would all start acting up in here without me touching anything." He replies idly while trying to think up answer for the actual question.
"I'm not too sure... It was weaker when I was smaller but I don't know what happens if I become an old man." He awnsers.

Lounge -> Hallway

Amos looks slightly uncomfortable as he thinks. "Um...that...no, I don't have a brain map...exactly...er..." he stammers out. "Before even getting into all that...I'm not good with A.I.s all that much, so...understanding the basic framework of one would come before any of that..." he answers, hoping his attempt to avoid the question wasn't that obvious.

Hearing Russell, he looks back over to him. "Oh. Um, well...I'm sure they can make accomadations with that...I think..." he answers, scratching his cheek with a finger. Spacesuit technology wasn;t something he was as versed in, surely.


Cargo Bay/Hangar

"Heh, if only you knew half the crew on this ship..." Greg says with a chuckle towards the murder comment. "But, yeah, I figured you wouldn't. It'd be a hell of a way to say thank you." he says as he steps out, locking the ship back up. "I think you'll fit in with our little "family" just fine."


Dominic and Mitch's Room

"What? I haven't had enough people poking me with things today?" he says with a chuckle, putting back on his pants...since he never really did get a shirt. He thinks for a moment before going over to where Mitch's clothes are and helps himself to one. "I'll give this back. Eventually."

Again, Mireille wrote everything down "Okay, guess nothing else can be expected~" She thought for a bit "Say, you said that some of you have other talent... 'categories' I may call it, do you know if there were cases of someone changing his or her category over the course of their life?"

Kyerine nods slightly though he looked significantly more nervous all of a sudden. "Most can't, we are born with our colour and it never changes but. A few individuals can do it, Purifiers can supposedly do it though..." He explains, hugging the bear a little.

Seeing the boy getting nervous Mireille quickly wrote down his answer before looking at him "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset you with this." She pat him on the head "Do you want to continue with the questions? Or do you want to do a few more tests then? Or should I just teach you a bit now? I'd be fine with anything." She looked at him again, a reassuring smile on her face.

Mirelle nodded and made a mental note not to touch this subject again... at least not before whatever was causing his uneasyness with these 'Purifiers' was solved. "Okay, but please tell me if you don't want to answer any more questions, okay?" She gave another smile while ruffling his hair again "There is no shame in not wanting to talk about certain topics, I won't get mad at you." She thought again "So, but if you really want to keep going, one last question for now, your powers seem to hamper with electronics, do you know what happens if you touch a living being?" She held out her arm trying to explain "You know that nerves are also working with - very weak - electric signals. Does your power also influence them?"

Kyerine shock his head. "I cant hurt normal people with it. The most powerful ones can do it but mine are not strong enough to be noticed. Which is nice." He replies with a smile turning his head quickly and letting his ruffled hair move to the side away from his eye. He seems to have calmed down quickly with the change of topic.

Cargo Bay/Hangar

"Righto, then." Greg says with a nod and goes to the lift, taking it up to the main deck along with Trent. Greg syncs his terminal to the intercom system and speaks into it.

"Hey, just letting you all know your captain is alive and well after his daring rescue. And we have another new crew member. We'll be on the bridge, I guess."

Dominic & Mitch's Room

Mitch chuckles at Rakiri's joke. "You still haven't had enough, have you?" Mitch grins and kisses him one more time before getting dressed in a sleeveless shirt and somewhat baggy pants, going barefoot like usual. He floats out the room with Rakiri.

Biolab

After a bit of walking, Mitch arrives at the biolab. "Heard you were asking for lab rats." He says half-jokingly to Mireille.

Hallway

Izzie finishes her steak and follows the group. "We can modify the space suit to use a similar system, but with light. Don't worry." She says to Russell.

"Alright, well, I can help if you want." She says to Amos as they walk. She does notice Amos is dodging the question, but doesn't do anything other than give him a nod.

"Rhysha, adjective Rhyshan" He responds oddly academically before leaning back and considering.

As he was however Mitch and Rakiri walk in he stops and just waves, then grabbing Kyeman the bear's arm and making it wave as well; both still in their seats.

The Troperia - Hallway

Michael looks to Izzie and nods to Russell. "Yeah I'm sure we can find something." He reinforces.

Russell looks confused at Izzie. "Wait what do you mean system I didn't-" He tries to object to the fact he hadn't told Izzie.

"Russell, you did make it easy to work out while you were talking to Sho'koro" Michael replies, pronouncing the robots name near perfectly despite the usual difficulty most would have.

"Oh..." He pauses for a moment before looking towards Izzie somewhat with a annoyed expression. "Don't treat me like special broken little kid though! I am no different to any of you!" He suddenly snaps defensively at the realisation.

Bridge

Chris smiles slightly, "Oddly, I think I understand. You're connected to each other, in a way where you literally cannot operate without each other. That's fascinating...I wonder what prompted you to evolve like that...are other species from your planet like this as well?"

Chris seems very relieved to hear Greg's message, and sends him a telepathic hug.

The Troperia is silent for quite a while, then, with the binarial equivalent of a smile, saying to Godsgift, My, my, you do ask a lot of questions, don't you? This will be quite fun.

Lounge

Seemingly stuck in his own mind, Merrick silently eats his steak with a knife and fork of transparent, shimmering ice. Utensils that don't melt away despite the heat. Once he's finished, he stands up and quickly washes the dishes, before heading out to the hall and wanders vaguely toward the lab.

Med Bay

Lex starts to nod off a little, her head resting on Kijo's shoulder.

Troperia, Lab/Biolab

Mireille writes it down "Okay, thanks." She wondered about the sudden academical tone but didn't say anything considering she already got to know what Kyerine considered 'basic physics' back with the MRI. She ruffled his hair a last time before turning to Mitch and Rakiri "Ah, hello there, and don't worry, no lab rats, only Guinea pigs" She said also jokingly before turning to Kyerine again "What do you say lab assistant? Want to help me?"

Hallway -> Bridge

"..." Greg stares at his terminal for a moment. "Well, anyway, come on." he says and starts down the hall, leading Trent to the bridge. "Yo. Trent, meet people. People, meet Trent." he says rather simply, not feeling like naming everyone present, especially seeing as he didn;t know the names of everyone present.


Biolab

Rakiri shrugs. "We're offering ourselves up to science, I guess." he says as he tugs on one of the straps of the tanktop he borrowed from Mitch. "What're we gonna do?"


Hallway

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Amos responds to Izzie, sounding like he really does appreciate the thought. At Russell's outburst, he looks over to him. "You've proven that multiple times already, Russell. We're not going to force help on you if you don;t need it. But we'll also be here to help, when you do need it. So...just keep that in mind."

[Bridge]

Taking some liberties with post order to let the post flow better...

Edit: Ach, shite, I took too long typing. Edited to acknowledge Greg's entrance.

"Reprogram myself?" Godsgift replied with horror. "Well, in many ways, yes. In most ways, actually. But I'm a little busy repairing myself. I'm a little too murder-y for my friends' tastes, apparently. It was just that one time."

"Jokes aside, we do want him to focus on repairs for the time being," Sy said apologetically. "We designed him in..." He paused, remembering that they may or may not be in the Beyond, or even the same galaxy they'd been in the day before, "...a region of space where AI can't function. Sort of like painting a picture in the dark. He's got all the important bits, the broad strokes, but he's full of glitches. Fortunately, he's capable of repairing himself. Once that's done, we might think about, um, tweaking some of his less desirable traits."

"I might think about tweaking your less desirable traits," Godsgift retorted. "Have you ever considered uploading your brain to a computer? Flesh is vastly overrated, and with your accounting experience, you'd probably make great spreadsheet software."

Then, to the AI, Godsgift replied, "Of course I do! Unless you don't like questions. Do you like questions? No, forget I asked that."

Whistler's Ed's head swiveled to look at Chris, tilting in what Tines recognized as a grin. "There are a few pack minds like us, though most are true hiveminds. One of the humans on my world wrote about her theories on how life on my world evolved, but honestly I can't remember most of it. We just don't think of ourselves as special, you know? I mean, I know we are, every human I've met has never seen anything like us, but to us, the idea of a... whole person in one body, it's just unnatural."

"That's racist," Godsgift chirped.

"No, I mean... It's a difficult idea for us to get comfortable with. Imagine..." He tried to remember what he knew about humans, to pinpoint something intrinsic to them, and then he thought of an obvious comparison that could fit both humans and Tines. "Imagine you grew up in a medieval culture, like I did. You've never heard of computers, and the idea of an inanimate object that can perform calculations on its own is something that you would never even dream. Now imagine somebody shows up on your doorstep and claims to be an AI in a robot body. How do you even conceptualize that?"

"By not being racist," Godsgift said helpfully.

"Shut up, Godsgift."

As the intercom message played and then the Captain entered with his charge, Whistler looked around at everyone. "Ah, yeah, sorry, we have been taking up your time. Could someone show us what rooms you want us to occupy? And then we'll get out of your way. We really do appreciate your help."
