...all right, fair point. Just tell them to line up or something, or fill in their pals so they'll be ready to move. And that it'll go way faster if they're not spitting on us and making us go crazy.

Aaaaand maybe check on the ones we rounded up on the Agrii ship. Things kinda went pear-shaped there so our only option was to knock them out. -no hard feelings?

[seeingscarlet]

I told them to tell all of their friends and get onto the Agrii ship. And that the sooner we rescue the Agrii, the sooner we can take them home.

[She resist the urge to scrub her hands over her face again. There always has to be a complication, doesn't there?]

I am glad you didn't shoot them, but what happened?

[deal_me_in]

Uuuh... Language barriers.

['nuff said, right?]

....aaaand I may have scared them a little too well in trying to draw their fire when they were targeting our guys.

[seeingscarlet]

[You know, fair.]

You did what you had to. Are you all okay?

[deal_me_in]

Yeah, yeah- we're good. A little singed from friendly fire, had some guys go loopy from getting spit on- but all in all, not bad.

[seeingscarlet]

Spit on? [She stops her dead in her tracks. Ew.] That's disgusting.

[But it's only a brief pause before she's off again.]

I wish we could wake the Agrii up. This would be so much easier.

[deal_me_in]

Yep. I'm guessing that's their main defense. But yeah, totally gross.

I completely agree with you. Think water would do it?

[seeingscarlet]

I don't know. I don't know why they are all asleep.

If this is something the storm energy does to them, I don't think so.

[deal_me_in]

I thought the storm thing was fatal. How's Gary by the way?

Well, I'm sure we'll figure something out. If not, just a little more work on our end. But hey, why not! We've been having to do everything else. Move out a few hundred sleeping Agrii? Why not.

[seeingscarlet]

Better. Resting. There was a treatment for it in the medbay. I don't know what would have happened if we hadn't been able to take her there. It is hard to understand them sometimes.

[So it could be actually-fatal or just some sleeping beauty nonsense. Who knows? The Graq didn't seem sophisticated enough to drug that many Agrii.]

I don't even know how so many of them got there. [A beat.] Maybe there are more people here than we know.

[deal_me_in]

That's good. -Oh, Gary's a she? Whoops.

Hey, if they can pop people here and there like magic with some mysterious technology, what's a few hundred? Although I think the bigger question is who else is involved in all this.

[seeingscarlet]

I thought I was just worrying too much. But something still doesn't feel right.

[Aside from the obvious, that is.]

[deal_me_in]

Here's hoping once we catch a real breather we can figure some things out.

[seeingscarlet]

Just be careful until then.

[deal_me_in]

I will try very, very hard.
