Yzalirk Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 The entrance to Jek's E-11 DART looks too secure. Igaz takes note and hopes to come up with a strategy. "Guys, looks like we've got our work cut out for us. Jek's E-11 over there looks like it'll be difficult to get to. There are cameras and a patrol right at the entrance. I have no clue how we'll get in there but I may have an idea." He turns to Tester-Three and Yelana. "Think you both can set aside your differences and disable the security there? You both seem to have the most knowledge about technology." He then turns to Kleeck. "You have a Translator Cube, right? I'm not sure how intelligent these Oozelings are but perhaps you can use it to communicate with them. We might be able to use them as a distraction for the guards. Maybe leave Jek and present too." Finally he turns to Feaja. "I'm going to level with you, Feaja. The owner of that ship over there-" He points to the yellow E-11 DART. "-is a bad man, a thief. We are looking for him. He is a Fangrear named Jek Flakko. Do you know anything about him? Maybe his whereabouts?"

Faeja listens to the plan, and sees She puts her hands on her hips, and her expression hardens. "Did you just agree to help me to get shiplot access?

There was a gate in the middle of the mental fence, granting Jek the access he would need to get in and out, secured by a keypad. If one were to try to climb over, it seemed there was a camera, panning around to sense motion over the top. (Not to mention, these kind of things were often electrified.) A red droid stands on the outside of the gate, seemingly inert, but almost certainly ready to do... something, if some condition was fulfilled.

"Do you want our help or not? Looks like we are the best help you got, unless you want to wait for your new caretakers to help you out.

Before we open that door, is there anything else we need to know about these creatures?

If Kleeck can communicate with them, just maybe they can be useful. Faeja says they like ship insulation and I'm sure Jek's ship has plenty of it. But we should try to see if we can get to it without raising too much suspicion. His ship must have valuable information aboard."

I haven't met any dwarves on my product runs, but I hope I do now." “Eh, it’s alright.” Dunola replies. “I can’t expect everyone to know everything about us dwarves. The universe is a big place, and I doubt anyone could see it all in one’s lifetime.” 22 hours ago, Classic_Spaceman said: I am, and remember what I said - Hold your fire until I get a good look at these things. Faeja’s description of these “oozlings” sounded pretty familiar, don’t you think? “Look, if you’re so keen on examining the little critters and getting up close to them, go ahead and take the front. I, for one, intend to roast any of these oozelings that come out of this ship!” Dunola slaps her flamethrower.

KotZ Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 OOC: I'll take Summon Spirit Ally as my spell. "Wait, Yenala," Kleeck said, "are you believing oozelings could be related to the egg?"
Duvors Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 "Everyone please settle down. I know it's exciting to find our quarry's spaceship, but we have no way of accessing it currently. That is a bridge we can cross later, especially as there is someone right in front of us who we have already promised to help. And Yelana, just because these creatures are apparently tentacled don't mean they're related in any way to the thing we are looking for. Especially if they reproduce by fission as I believe has been indicated." "Miss," he said shifting to face Faeja and nodding slightly, "I apologize, we are of course happy to help you in any way we can and would do so even if we didn't need access to this lot.

Faeja presses a button on a remote, and the cargo door slides down with a mechanical hiss. Lured out by sunlight and fresh air, four creatures come shambling out from the confines of the ship... "Ech, that's them!" Faeja quickly takes three paces backwards, disgusted by the four slimy entities. Their tentacles writhe as they propel themselves forward, the strange stalks on their head pointing at the party of agents... "Grrraaauuughhh!"
