"It's still pleasant, even fascinating to see."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 22, 2013 10:45 pm

"I'd hope so. From what I've heard you're a curious race."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:58 am

"Some of us more than others," Steve commented, the critique not directed at anyone present.

"Steven Jones. I'm a writer. The idea of non-carbon life has always fascinated me... I just never thought I'd ever see it."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:12 am

"And is it as fascinating as you thought?" she asks, sounding amused.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:34 am

"Entirely," he answered.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:44 am

"Glad to hear. I would hate to disappoint our illustrious guests."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:46 am

Samantha smirked at Steve.

"Down, boy."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 1:46 pm

"Hey, it's not every day I get to be illustrious," he responded happily.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 2:53 pm

"You said Princess -- your people are some sort of monarchy, then?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 3:04 pm

"Not quite like yours, I would imagine. Our society is based in our physiology and I was born from a stratum that you might call a royal family on your world."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 3:10 pm

"Is that why the...?" She gestured to her own head to indicate the crystals on the princess' scalp.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 3:22 pm

"I have a crown? No. But they're styled that way."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 4:59 pm

"You're part of this alliance I take it?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 5:07 pm

"We are, yes."

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:47 pm

"What's it like?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:51 pm

"Seems a rather broad question."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:57 pm

"It has enormous cultural and scientific impact initially. How soon a race benefits from it's full scope depends on how well they take to it. For... less advanced ones anyway." she says politely.

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:04 pm

"No need to hold back Princess. I, at least, have no illusions about my people being anything but primitive. Especially after seeing this city."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:12 pm

"Technological development is one of the easier things to accelerate." she smirks.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:42 pm

"I've never seen such machines able to fly -- I'm amazed that, apparently, just anyone can get in one and go."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:49 pm

"Oh they have guidance systems. Most don't do all the steering themselves."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:28 pm

Bear remained silent, snapping picture after picture of the fascinating earthen dignitary.

by **Nash Riley** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 12:27 am

The cars drive themselves? Where's the fun in that?

by **John Hino** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:31 am

Another of the security chief's race approached, dressed in a kind of formal black suit with a split cape resembling a beetle's wings at rest.

"Ah, Princess. I should have known you'd be the first to greet our visitors," the tall saurian said warmly.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 12:02 pm

"So I'm curious." she smirks back at him.

by **John Hino** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 2:07 pm

"Something we have in common. Though you win in swiftness of action."

He looked to the humans.

"But where are my manners. My name is J'Hon T'Su of the Rik'Heen. While the queen is our official representative here, I welcome you as well," he said with a toothy expression that could either be a smile or a snarl. Context said smile.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 5:37 pm

"Another monarchy -- are you a member of the nobility, as well?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 5:52 pm

He nods, "My father is Kuvahk K'Se T'Su. A Kuvahk is a mid-range title, but he is also my world's representative in the Galactic Senate."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:11 am

Rachel was staying quiet, too excited and interested by the aliens to say anything, wishing that she'd get a chance to examine their physiology.

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 1:41 pm

"What are your planets like anyway?" Steve asked both of the aliens.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:02 pm

"Dangerous, for organics. The atmosphere is toxic to most due to the volcanic activity, but it's beautiful. There are starports at the poles that have an artificial atmosphere to accommodate visitors without the need for suits."

by **John Hino** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:22 pm

"My world, Ssa'Veran, is a lush jungle world and is a major trade center. We've come a long way in our three centuries in the Alliance."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:34 pm

"One climate for an entire planet?"

by **John Hino** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:53 pm

"No, of course not, simply the majority."

by **Oka Aina** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:03 pm

A figure that looked like an inkblot walked up to the group. Unlike the others he lacked any fancy dress, other than a silver band on each arm. However, the lack of clothing didn't seem particularly revealing with the figure's form lacking any significant detail. He looked towards Anu as he approached.

You've no doubt noted the lack of high-ranking cadre representatives and that is why I am here, Anu.

Then he looked back towards the humans with glowing yellow eyes waiting for J'Hon to finish talking about his planet or alternatively his presence to be noted.

by **Narrator** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:15 pm

A troubling development indeed. Is there a known threat?

by **Oka Aina** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:32 pm

If there was a real threat they would have sent three of us. Thus far there is nothing my cadre can uncover and the others are unlikely to take any direct action, but dispatching me as a safeguard was considered prudent.

by **Narrator** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:43 pm

Yes. Having an operative of your caliber to protect them is a welcome aid.

by **Oka Aina** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:51 pm

You will not thank me after you government receive the bill for my services, Anu.

Apparently Hei'an operatives do have a sense of humor.

by **John Hino** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:55 pm

J'Hon had begin talking about his home city of Ga'Tanarr on Ssa'Veran when he spotted the operative. He stopped talking.
