Another alien came down the hall pulling along a bed of sorts. When it noticed Lee it seemed to perk up and said something. The words were a garble of what the other one had used but with a hiss to it. A closer sound caught his attention though. A tiny voice in a language he could understand said, "Hello. Do your remember your name?" His ears flicked and the dangle-y things attached to the goggles made sense now. Hurriedly he set them in his ears and responded. "Ah, no. But this device has my personal file." He raised his arm that had the data screen, "Says I'm Le-hila, some mechanic of sorts. What's going on, what's the status of everything" <<STATUS: THE CROATOAN SYSTEMS ARE->> Lee pressed one of the bottons on the side of the device. After a confused pause he said, "Eh, must do that often..."

Rucha strolled into the hangar and switched the gun to her other hand, taking care not to point it directly at the newcomer. "If you could just put your hands and any other prehensile, manipulative, and/or grasping appendages you may have where I can see them, I'd like to ask you a few things before I take you to see the others."

Tal'set pushed himself off his jet and took three steps forward when he saw the grayish figure walk from a door nearby. He lifted his hands out of his overcoat then dangled them separate from his sides when the alien asked to see them. "See nothing, I'm not sure what questions you have for me so I'll answer the best I can. Fire away."
Tal'set didn't expect what looked like a civilian with a gun to enter and question him, but neather did this ships insides. There was something odd he noticed about this ship while he was looking around. This ship looks more like a research facility then a battle cruiser.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Now, do you know who the ships attacking you were and why?" Rucha relaxed her arm, letting the gun fall to her side. "Oh, and what's your name? Probably should've asked that first, but to be honest, it's a little lower on my priority list."

When Ariaka finished, she put all of her armor back on except chest piece. Her attention was drawn towards a blue model that was marked as a prototype. She took it and studied it for a moment. It seemed to have an extra slot for batteries that could power either the main robot or a device in the prototype she couldn't determine what it does. To be safe, she measured all power circuits in the device and decided that it was safe for use and put it on. Nothing interesting happened, so she'll have to experiment later. She went outside and to the bridge, finding the long range sensors. The readings surprised her. She turned on the ship's intercom: "Attention to all crew. The planet we're currently orbiting appears to be habitable and also rich with minerals. Furthermore, our food supply will only last for two months, and while i don't rule out any possible encounter with more planets that could provide, better safe than sorry. So, anyone volunteering for a little vacation?"

"I have no idea who those enemies were but I'm pretty sure that the first one out of the three star fighters I killed ,the one in front, was a Dii'Vok class. Other then that the other two you killed where no type of race I've seen before; but, that means the Vok are involved and that doesn't sound good at all if its true." Answered Tal'set. "Oh! I forgot to tell you my name. It is Tal'set from the third colony of Valence and yours is?"
Tal'set crossed his arms to get in a more comfortable position to talk more.

"I think that's us." Lee said to the alien. "Um, I'll go. What's the difference between one unknown place and another. At least that place isn't going to blow up on us." He said aloud looking around. Then he started to fiddle with the data pad, "Maybe this thing functions as a communicator of sorts as well." <<Communicate->> "Quiet, I don't need to communicate with you!" It blipped and Lee got the fealing that it wouldn't spout information again, at least not through audio.

"Uhm, Rucha," she replied, slightly bewildered that he had decided to tell her so much. "And the terms you're using aren't much help to me right now, though the others might be able to make more use—" The Ceretai broke off, tilting her head to listen to the announcement. "I'd really love to stay and chat, but, no offense, the planet seems a tad more exciting." She turned, speaking to the newcomer over her shoulder. "Welcome to the Croatoan. Don't kill anyone, don't break anything, don't give us away to people we don't know hate us. And we should all get along fine. I'm going to go planetside, and I'd recommend you introduce yourself to the others before doing anything else."

"Wait! Though you seem to be suffering no adverse effects, I insist you apply this IV drip. Not being treated early can have negative symptoms in the long run." Kiruza explained, unexpectedly tacking the alien with an IV patch. "You'll thank me later." When she was sure he would be fine Kiruza left the alien and made a brief tour of the laboratory. She approached the burned body of the woman, wondering what it was about it that had made Ariaka break down so abruptly. She scanned the rest of the room, noting the position of several more cryogenesis chambers, and the presence of a door that led to another wing of the lab. Making a note to explore it further she left the room, making her way to the place where she thought the others would have headed.

Lance set the H9-40 to the side and started looking for side arms. There was a variety of weapons, but the once that caught his eye was a Desert Eagle, a classic. He slipped the gun in a holster on his left. He then grabbed a bag and loaded it with other weapons and clips that his allies could probably use. (Its a magic bag so any weapon you want is in it.) With that Lance picked up the H9-40 and walked out of the armory. "Activate full suite scan." The HUD started showing words. >Scanning armor.... >All functions operating. "Ready for combat." >Armor strength maximum. >Activating shields... A blue glow went around Lance, solidified, then disappeared. >Shields at 100% A battery appeared in the top right of his HUD and filled up. >Armor is now combat ready. Lance switched his scan to his com and headed towards the nearest exit. "Ariaka, I'm ready to head out, and i have a good supply of weapons for anyone who needs them. Is there any place we're going to group up?"

"Wait maybe you should take a ride with me. I got a really fast fighter ready to go with two seats. Its a bit big for your size but it will strap you in; anyways we need to scout the area on this so called planet if your party is going to land." Offered Tal'set as he grabbed his rifle and set the butt down on the ground holding the barrel with his right hand. He looked determined to get there first from the way he was standing.

Ariaka pressed some buttons and located good landing place on the planet. "All crew going down, meet at the shuttle bay we discovered earlier. Sending the map now." she said and everyone got a map with the bay's position. Then she switched on the private channel, targeting Tal. "To the person joining us from space, be there. I need to ask you a few questions before i let you free on the ship, but i am reasonably certain it'll be fine. See you there." she said and headed for the shuttle, waiting already in the pilot seat for the others.

Ariaka's announcement echoed through the hangar. "Sorry, but it looks like I've already got a ride down. See you later!" Although her instincts were already screaming at her for having turned her back on Tal'set once, she turned again and darted down the ship's corridors to the bay. Rucha slowed to a trot as the familiar-looking shuttle came into view, and forced herself to shake off the faint nagging of her unknown memories. On a strange planet, they would only get in the way, and distraction was the last thing she needed. She ducked into the shuttle and asked, "Where's the marine?"

"Probably pushing heavily loaded wagon of weapons our way." said Ariaka while pushing buttons to check all systems before launch. A holographic display popped in front of her, the planet on it. She drawn the estimated course she wanted to take and the computer confirmed it's safe. "Or maybe he also wants to stay on the ship like i do." she said, shrugging. "Anyway i hope you'll find some time to relax because i'm giving you a ton of work." she pointed to the cargo bay of the shuttle. "We'll need lime for CO2 scrubbers if you want to breathe, H2O if you want to drink, algae, fruit, vegetables and meat if you want to eat. As i said, we have enough for two months, but since we have no idea who the hell we are or where we are, i'd rather not wind up with starving crew." she explained what are the next few days gonna be about. "As for me, i can't really appreciate the fresh air, so the only thing i could possibly do there is rust. I'll be staying here doing maintenance. It would be good to have all engines running, and i'll inspect the landing gear to know if it's in working condition. Yeah, Croatoan can land, fancy that." she said with excitement.

"Weapons sound so great right now, but I don't count on myself to know what's edible and what's not down there. Is there some way you'll be able to tell me from where you'll be? Like, sending whatever you can dredge up about this place?" Rucha took off her pack again and stowed it. "Actually, speaking of files, could you send me the ones for the rest of the crew? We can't rely on strangers and flashes of memory alone to piece together what happened to us."
