Amos's Room
"I-Urm... Yeah i'm fine." Russell responds still a little distracted before the VI voice on his watch echoes.'"AuditoryAssistanceProtocol-V4.6 online and active, test pulse 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, confirmed." The butler like VI voice announces from his watch, a small smile from Russell as he pushes himself up, now able to "see" around the room better.
"I'll go change, I can catch up with you later." He says with a bold enough smile to say he is going to be doing just fine, it seems most of his frustration and annoyance was transferred away via the punch to Amos. Russell grabbing his bag and heading out of the room to the bathroom to change.

The creature looks to Gregs whistle and seems to have listened to what he had been saying and gets up, following the Captain to the bridge, quickly finishing to digest the chunk of coal. Almost following heel like a trained Terran dog might.Med Bay
"Oh cool you did as well? I wrote those as well. Merrick froze them into the floor!" Kyerine expresses with a sudden pulse of excitement. Trusting Tor's words completely and wholy that it was purely a coincidence. Sliding down from being hug around Toraq to be closely besides him, resting his head on his side.edited 13th Jul '16 1:26:42 PM by darkdestinysoul

Sha'Koro decided to also follow considering he had nothing else to do and he wanted to follow the creature around a bit since he already brought it here in the first place.

Mireille listened to Merrick "Oh... I'm sorry for that... that seems indeed like quite the nightmare... can I help you maybe?" She tilted her head, looking him in the eyes, a bit concern on her face

"Eh, not sure. Maybe I'll just look at what's in front of me when we go to the kitchen." Peter starts to get up and kisses Chris. "You're gonna walk in front of me after I say that, aren't you?"

Mitch hovers over to one of the buildings, going and looking inside. "This is where you lived?" He asks Rakiri.
Val follows the tracks, walking east a short distance.

"I think you actually ignored the messages earlier, Greg." Izzie says to him over the comms.
"That seems to disprove your suspicions a bit." She says to Sy.

I sense several sentient beings entering the bridge, along with something I've never seen before
You have telepathy?
No. Look behind you.

"Nah, I'll be alright, thank you for offering...what is that you're holding?"Troperia Hallway Almost at The Engine Room:
"Ship this, touring I am. Need intel recon for route patrol effective." Torvahk explained, trying to summarize what he was doing. For the sake of the sub-plot, no matter how small it might have seemed, he would almost arrive at his destination.
Living The Fever DreamTroperia Engine Room:
"Guard security, to be I agreed." Torvahk replied as he finally entered the Engine Room. Which appeared to be a massive cluster of different mechanical components responsible for the Troperia's Propulsion surrounded by an orderly mess of wire conduits and pipes that served various purposes. Fortunately the area was capable of being safely navigated thanks to grated walkways with reinforced design and guard rails, and there wasn't anything in the way that could possibly harm anyone unless they really tried hard enough. If there was any present danger at the moment, it was that it was probably a good idea to grab ear protection when it was possible...but it was too late now. Torvahk would press on regardless, noting all the terrain capable of being traversed, along with possible trouble spots and most likely areas for sabotage and/or acts of terrorism.

Ricardo takes a slow drag from his cigarette before pulling it from his lips and eyeing it for a few moments, as if pondering the idea of exploding. Then, he exhales and puts it back before speaking.
"Appreciate the concern, hot stuff, but if these thigns were gonna kill me they woulda done it already. Though I see what you mean, looking through some of your files...I thought the Alphyxi were dead. Nice to meet you, by the way. All of you, and your captain too. I won't share what I've heard, so no need to worry." As he speaks, his eyes seem to flash back and forth like he's reading, but there's nothing tangible there.
"Oh, and yeah I meant you. I assume you use fuel like any other ship?"

David stands and waits to the side of the door.
Lex's Room
Kijo also takes the chance to get dressed, opting for the Kirina Engineering suit with a smirk. Not only is it slightly ironic that he would be the one to wear it, but also it would throw the people on the station for a loop when they saw him.
"Yes," Kijo and Jiko say in unison, and with the same conviction. In his subconscious, Jiko reaches out for Lex's hand.
"The sooner we get this done, the better in my opinion."
[Bridge]
At Izzie's comment about his suspicions, Sy snorted. Before he could say anything rude, Godsgift chipped in: "Frankly, I'm most interested to see exactly what the Caesura is. It can't just be an electronic device, or it'd be vulnerable to all sorts of interference and subversion. There's no record of a Caesura actually being activated, so whatever it is, it must be super-secure." Conspiratorially, he added, "Can I be the safekeeper of the codes? Please? Pleeeeease? I promise not to use them unless the temptation gets overwhelming. Like really overwhelming."
Amos's Room
"Oh...alright. See you." Amos says after him, and looks at the screen once more before closing it up. "I should probably do the same anyways...well, after I find something to wear...but first, the others." he decides and heads out. He thinks for a moment before heading down the left hall...no, the right hall, that was it, and towards the Med Bay.
Med Bay
"So the three of us wrote the same thing? Curious...the next thing you know, Amos is going to make his way here, claiming to have written the same numbers." he says, jokingly and wraps his arm around Kyerine to keep the boy close to him.
Tor! Oh, there you are. And Kyerine, too. I'm glad you're ok." Amos says a she enters, clearly relieved. "I got an email this morning with some strange coordinates..."
Tor pauses for a moment. "Well, there goes the last chance of it just being a very unlikely coincidence."
"H-Huh?" Amos asks, looking confused.
Bridge
"Well, yeah, excuse me for kinda being occupied with maybe finding out my parents or my race might not be as disappeared or dead as I thought before. That's not live-changing at all." The fireball captain sasses back to the A.I.s. I didn't just ignore it for nothing."
He looks over to Zevai. "Well, turns out it was...delivering a package to me, I guess. It had a box full of photos of me...even before I left my home planet. And well, this ring..." he says, holding up hand with the silver engraved trinket on his finger. "As for the dog thing, well...I dunno. Maybe it's the Terran equivalent of a dog where it comes from. That's the only thing I can reason." he continues, saying this part to both Zevai and Izzie. He reaches over and gently scratches the top of the insects head, much like one would do a dog.
"But yeah...what is this about sacrificing ships or letting dangerous people on board? Can someone explain what the hell's goin' on? Preferably in 5 minutes or less." he says, and looks outside, seeing Ricardo. "And who's that? Seriously, how much shit have I missed?"
VR Room - Echirina
Rakiri follows after Mitch, shaking his head. "No. Saulos did. I was born deep in wartime, remember? During then, settlements like this were more or less all but abandoned, for obvious reason. Hardly build to fight of something like an airstrike." he says, picking up an handful of the almost sand-like soil. "This is odd, though...maybe I got the time period wrong...I thought they would have still been here..."
Val might sense that he's suddenly not alone. Even more so, as what looks like a maelstone tipped spear is thrown from somewhere behind him, from somewhere up above, threatening to hit him.
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.[Bridge]
"Captain, there's someone who wants to talk to you," Sy started, but Godsgift interrupted him.
"Let's see if I can summarize to save us all some time. There's a space superspy somewhere nearby who wants to talk to you and Silas, not necessarily at the same time. Sy is space superparanoid and thinks the superspy wants to kill everyone or something, so he cooked up a scheme to bring the superspy onto this ship naked. It would involve giving them a shuttle because Sy thinks the superspy might bring dangerous tech onto the shuttle. Also, the superspy has super-secret codes that will kill them instantly, and they've offered to give us the codes as a gesture of goodwill. Also, I would like to be the one with the codes because I've always wanted to hold someone's puny, all-too-short life in my nonexistent, digital hands."
"That, uh," Whistler said, "about sums it up on that front. More or less."

Kyerine giggles a little bit and shakes his head. "Nah as you said before its just a coincidence Tor!" He says squeezing the arm wrapped around him.He turns to Amos and continues. "Tor, Merrick and me all wrote down the same strange string of numbers! I'm glad Tor was right and that was just a dream though and you okay too!"

The creature following Greg just moves to the side a little ensuring its bulk wasn't blocking the door. When Izzie asks about him it raises one of its smaller pedipals and lets it wave a little. Its quad-mandibles movingly aimlessly but curiously at all of the creatures around.At being scratched similar to a dog it lets out a low rumbling noise and seems to lower itself down submissively... Still perhaps intimidating due to its gargantuan size but yet still as people are comparing it oddly dog-like in its demeanour.

Troperia nods their head, More or less, yes. I'm sorry I interrupted your quality time with your...xenoinsectoid companion. But as you can see, the situation was such that your presence presence and input was necessary.Captain's Quarters>Hall
Chris smiles and throws on a tank top before heading toward the kitchen, squeezing his hand slightly, "So...Dom's offer...that was certainly...unexpected and generous."Lex's Room>Library
Lex watches Kijo put on her father's old uniform, nodding reservedly and in agreement with his sentiment, "It fits well, I think..should be interesting to listen to what they think of seeing you in a Kirina uniform, with me." When he's finished, she pulls open the door, while subconsciously snuggling with Jiko, Well...here goes nothing...Bridge
"Yeah, I guess." Greg says offhandedly to Troperia, idly waving a hand.
"Ok. First off, that last sentence alone is an immediate no." Greg says to Godsgift, with a less than amused expression. He then looks back to Sy and Whistler. "Well, if he just wants to talk, let him on. And if he does attack, we has about a dozen people here that won't hesitate to kick his ass, so. I'm not worried."
Greg chuckles a bit as the scratching actually has an effect. He'd not been quite expecting that.

"Huh...? Wait, really? That's...really, really weird..." Amos answers, scratching his head in confusion.
"Indeed. Do you mind showing me, if it's alright?" Tor asks, turning slightly to face the young engineer.
"O-Oh, sure. Hang on, let me bring it up..." Amos says as he approaches, pulling up the screen with the numbers and hands it off to Tor for him to look at. Tor takes it and analyzes the the numbers on the screen, and the ones he himself he had written. "They match, yes...and these are the numbers for the coordinates of that ship...I can't help but wonder..."

Kyerine starts to look a little disheartened as people start taking this seriously. Maybe it slowly starting to dawn it wasn't a coincidence the dream was more than well a bad dream... Starting to hold Toraq's arm even tighter. "Everything is okay right..?" He asks with a little nervousness, also having moved himself to the opposite side of Toraq from Amos seeing his metallic arm... Contact is not advised.The coordinates location would be easy to figure out with a little bit of brain work. The answer, pretty much, is the middle of a large sensor disrupting nebula and asteroid belt nebula deep out a few light years from where the Gemini station used to be. Away from pretty much anywhere people would want to travel due to both location and the inability to accurately use sensors within the region.

"Note to self," Godsgift said mischievously, "Next time the Captain ignores a message, insist that he pay attention. By any means necessary."
