Oh What Insanity Is This
It was nice to be able to step off the ship and finally be back in Temba. While it wasn't actually home, it was nice to actually return to the place that had become sort of become home.

That's what he really would have liked to think. As he stepped out of the hangar and was able to survey Temba again, he was completely dumbstruck by everything that had happened. He just... stood there as he stared at it. The plants... there was just so much of it. It was everywhere...

"What the hell happened here? How long were we gone?"

Brave Explorer
Even though the urge to just stand and stare at the mess was really very tempting, it wouldn't do anything to make things better so finally, he went to find something that he could use to start cutting plants down. Dark that his new arm didn't have the same abilities as his old one and he couldn't just use THAT.

However, the metal arm did come in handy (ha) because he could use it to help push plants to the side with less worry about it actually hurting him. No feeling and very hard to damage helped like that.

But after working for a while, it didn't feel like they had really gotten anywhere. He grumbled before looking at the person next to him.

"How long have we been at this?"

Save the Glownie!
Shiro hadn't been planning on being out so late. He'd kind of lost track of time. One would say it was stupid for him to have been so careless as to forget about this part...

Shiro would call it a blessing though since as he was trying to find his way back, he stumbled upon a faint glowing light among the trees. Moving closer, he spotted one of the glownies that had wandered away from the its home in this mess. Maybe it smelled mint somewhere.

But that wasn't all he spotted. There was Thorntooth that was attempting to sneak up on it, ready for an easy target.

Shiro, of course, couldn't let that happen, charging to get to the Glownie first, having only a dinky weapon to try and delay it in his attempt to flee with the Glownie.

Bishop
Sorry, crew of the Bishop or anyone else who would be there, there is temporarily a Glownie wandering around on the ship one night...

"Hopefully you get the chance to meet them. They are great people, but then again I'm a little biased. Is there anyone from your world here?"

[crystalmaster]

"I hope I will," Radley says. "Too bad we're not all on the same ship."

He sighs. "I don't think anyone from my home is here...."

[lionunchained]

"Yeah, it's pretty hard to decide your own ship assignments here. If you are living off the ship, you can pretty much go anywhere."

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. Well, it's good that they aren't trapped here either, but a shame that you don't have anyone who understands your world."

[crystalmaster]

"People can't ever change ships?" Radley asks.

He nods. "Yeah.... I wonder if time's passing back home,though.... Everyone would be so worried with me missing...."

[lionunchained]

"It's... difficult. The ships will basically keep out people who are not supposed to be on that ship. So if someone needed to get on the closest ship for example, they'd be unable unless the closest ship was theirs. Someone would have to let them in."

Shiro crossed his arms, watching the Glownie snacking on the mint still, taking its time. "It's hard to tell. As far as we know, everything is basically the same back home as when we left."

[crystalmaster]

"... Wow. That's scary to think about." Radley frowns. So many problems could happen in a place like this where urgent shelter would be needed.

"How do you know?" Radley asks. "Is it just what you wanna believe, or have the aliens said so?"

[lionunchained]

"It is. I'm sure the reasoning is that the other ships should be around and they don't want one ship to become overcrowded with those who do not live there, but it is strange."

"I think some who have gone home and come back with memories of this place have said so."

[crystalmaster]

Radley frowns. "Yeah, it definitely doesn't seem like the smartest decision in a place like this."

He perks up a lot at this. "That's really good to know." He had hoped it would be the case, but wasn't sure. "... Why did some of them get brought back again, though?"

[lionunchained]

"Oh, I agree, but unfortunately I have no say over any of that." He sighed. It was not certainly not the safest thing, especially in an emergency. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a way to override.

"Yeah, it's good to hear that. Not sure why. I guess the Agrii still thought they needed them." Which wasn't concerning at all...

[crystalmaster]

"We're pretty much all at the mercy of these Agrii," Radley frowns. He hopes he won't be brought back if he's ever allowed to leave. Although ... he imagines he'll worry about the people here if he does go back.

"Do they ever tell us much of anything?"

[lionunchained]

"It definitely seems that way unfortunately. What with the way we have to stay on the ship that they select for us or go where they want us to go." He sighed. He didn't really like not having much choice in the matter. He had always been one who wanted that control and there wasn't as much he could do here.

"Some, but not as much as I would like."

[crystalmaster]

Radley frowned. He hated not being in control too.

"I wonder why. Surely they know more than they say."

[lionunchained]

"Oh, I'm sure that they do, but there is a level of control if you can keep information from others. So it is hard to tell how much they actually know and how much they don't actually want to tell us."

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. They seem nice, but who knows if they really are." Radley frowns more. He hates being so in the dark. At least back home, he knew Malcolm very well. Here, he hardly knows anything about these Agrii.

[lionunchained]

"Yeah. I don't think anyone has met them before. Don't quote me on that, but I know that I haven't, just heard descriptions of them."

Even the Galra, at least he had a face to go with the name, despite the fact that he hated them significantly more than he did the Agrii.

[crystalmaster]

"Also unsettling. Why only communicate by audio? And where did you hear descriptions if no one has seen them?"

Very strange indeed.

[lionunchained]

"If I remember correctly, the world has turned uninhabitable for the Agrii so they can't be on this world. Someone told me once what they are supposed to look like. I think there may also be representation at the other city."

[crystalmaster]

"It seems like they should have video, though, not just audio. Oh, there's artwork of them?" Radley hasn't seen much art around.

[lionunchained]

"There probably are... somewhere. Yeah, there's a theater in the city and it has like... automated plays. I'm wondering if the figures are supposed to be the Agrii or something else that was here."

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah? I'd like to check that out," Radley says. He likes the arts, and in any case, this seems like useful information to have. They should know all about the ones who brought them here.

[lionunchained]

"When the world is more back to normal, we can take the train to the other side and I can show you around." It was definitely interesting. Even if it didn't answer a lot of questions, it was still enlightening.

[crystalmaster]

"That would be great. I wonder how long it'll take to wrestle these wild plants into submission."

Or if it can even be done....

[lionunchained]

"Hopefully not too long. Or that something will happen soon which will help get rid of them for us."

That was another possibility with how this world worked.

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah? Like what? Something that gets rid of them but then is a new problem for us to deal with?"

That sounded about like what would happen to him.

[lionunchained]

"Something like that. Or they just suddenly die out. Hard to tell what will happened. We've had some strange things that just kind of... go away."
