When Drake stopped, so did Cal, giving the man his full attention. What he was saying wasn't anything difficult to understand, although from what he'd heard in regards to those he'd met from Earth, it usually turned out that aliens were particularly hostile towards Earthborn humanoids. How strange.

Cal nodded. Maybe someone with better understanding of crystal technology could provide some decent insight. "Look, I get it. We still have to be realistic about what's possible and what isn't. Our timeframe's been dwindling and I'm not sure how long before the Agrii will decide it's time for us to go back. They probably didn't consider how big of a supply run we might attempt to make this. If anything might take too much time to have delivered to us, we'll have to cut it out. I'll say this now, but we may as well leave off excess weapons. The Agrii don't seem to have a high opinion of such, but they also aren't without weapons to provide us if they think we might need it. If we bring too much they might just inconveniently disappear."
