AGRII OUTREACH
→ Text;
[Utilizing the functionality of the communicator to contact the Agrii, as opposed to the normal device network, the following message is typed:]
I have questions for you. The first concerns the ships; you will have noticed our numbers have exceeded the capacity of the ships you have provided. The Atroma used to possess the ability to expand crew capacity of the ships. Can you not do the same? Or if not, why not consider bringing in the Huntress or the Caprine, or one of the others, as you seem so fond of the Fleet's vessels.
The second concerns recent events. If you were supposedly trying to reach us while we were trapped in the space of Billy's making, why were we even in that situation in the first place? Something drew Billy into the Calibrations space, but we are unable to enter the space from this end. You're the ones who bring us there. So why was this allowed to transpire in the first place? And how many more of us have you taken in the same way?

I have need of someone skilled in the drawing arts, and in taking a spoken description and depicting it on paper. Preferably in ink.
LAKESIDE
→ Early Morning;
The shore of the lake still bears some sign of the recent celebration. The Soldier can only guess at the forms its activities took, having chosen to spend his time elsewhere. But the sandy beach doesn't hold his attention as much as the lake waters themselves. He looks out over the crystalline surface, remembering conversations some time ago. Remembering his time in the Fleet. Trying to piece the whole thing together. Too few answers overall, and no real way that he'd trust to seek additional information. He wasn't willing to trust the Agrii on their word alone. But what did he have other than the Agrii's word?
When had he decided that he cared, anyway?
Likely when Billy had sought him out after their return, then again when he needed a place to stay. The Soldier knows he should consider himself compromised.
He shakes his head, banishing that tangle to later consideration. Something in the back of his brain had picked up on the sound of approaching footsteps; he prefers not to be so caught up in such thoughts in the presence of another, not when said thoughts are so chaotic. Compromised indeed; he does a mental check of his weapons and their location out of habit more than anything else, a self reassurance of optimal functionality.

Anything else? The Soldier can mostly be found in the more secluded areas and avoids communal spaces and gatherings as much as possible, but we can certainly work out where your character might run into him. Alternately if we missed running into each other on the last event and there was something you wanted, we can handwave it happening and thread out aftermath, if you'd prefer.

Agrii Communication
Clearly this must be Ha Re.]What assurances are in your promise? From where I stand, it seems pretty empty, especially when you keep bringing people here knowing there's no space for them in the ships.
You have to know how unbelievable that sounds. Trust you who bring us here against our will and keep information from us? You'll have to do better than that.
no subject
Ah sure ants? Con fused. Pro miss is pro miss. We learn pro miss need keep. Agrii keep. You see. We prove. We prove pro miss. He Rows d serve good. We make good.
All rest dare stand not. Un dare stand no. Un dare stand not. Will? Agrii bar row He Rows. Help need. He Rows help. He Rows want help not? Help bad?
Agrii bad?
no subject
La Re?Also, HR representative for the so-called He Rows the Soldier is not; he's honestly the last person who should be having this conversation. Especially when he's annoyed.]
Promises mean nothing when you don't follow through. I'm sure some people will trust your words. I don't.
You take us without asking. That's not borrowing, it's stealing. If you really want to help, tell us who's pulling your strings.
no subject
Star rings? Agrii no star rings have. Not pop pits. No stand. No un dare stand.
Star ring pull who?
no subject
I'm running out of names]I don't believe you. Where did you even get all the technology you use?
no subject
Here.
no subject
So you found something you didn't know how to use and decided to pick it up and play with it.
no subject
We know. We have all ways. Find here all ways. No play. Use. Agrii use.
no subject
What relationship do you have with the Atroma?
no subject
No sure. Know Drift Fleet. Watch. Find He Rows. Thought At Rome A gone. No sure.
Me think no friend.
Agrii no sure. I me dee um sure.
no subject
No one likes Lucius, he's a stuck up prick.]
Do you idolize them? Seek to follow in their footsteps, using their technology?
Do you specifically have a different opinion than the rest of the Agrii?
no subject
No. No. At Rome A bad. Not friend. Help would if friend. Could help Agrii if friend. No friend. No I doll. At Rome A no He Rows. He Rows friend. They not.
Agrii no think friend. Agrii no sure.
Ga Re talk He Rows. Ga Re no sure. Me Mu Ly. Mu Ly think At Rome A bad.
At Rome A bad for Drift Fleet He Rows. At Rome A may be bad still.
no subject
At least we're agreed on that.
I will remember your name, Mu Ly.
So you believe that the Atroma are still present and able to act, yes? What defenses do you have against the possibility?
no subject
no subject
You know that we're not well armed or well equipped, yes? We'd be at a disadvantage.
no subject
Need arm new? Get Buck Ee new arm.
Shine one? No shine one? We get arm Buck Ee need.
no subject
No. My arm is functional. And I don't go by Bucky.
I'm talking about armaments. Weapons.
no subject
Need arm arm mints? Wah ponds?
What need?
What help He Rows?
no subject
But that pause is definitely noted. And really, the one thing at which the Soldier excels is threat recognition. Or: it takes one to know one, and there could be quite a few potential ones.]
Maybe we need nothing. I can't speak for everyone. There are people here who I wouldn't trust with weapons. But you brought us here to be your heroes, and sometimes that means fighting. Unarmed, we might not always win.
I know you gave us access to your guns, for example. I would feel more comfortable with my own.
no subject
Tell Soup Lies what need. I get.
Say 'Mu Ly re quest' and I get.
no subject
Is this a test, or a proof of faith? If you get me this, what are you asking in return?
no subject
No test. No faith.
We help He Rows. You He Row. I help.
All want is He Row be He Row. Pro Tech Shun.
We help. You help. All help.
no subject
Fine. I'll do this, to see if you keep your word. And will you let me, let us know when a threat is incoming?
no subject
I will.
I make mash sheens. Make one find threat. Tell you when bad in comb ming.
[There is a pause in the messages. ]
No Ga Re know. Tell Ga Re not. Ga Re this like not. Mu Ly do what Ga Re not do.
