[IC] The Pyramid

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Hearing Eve's odd assertion, the merman looked up again toward the group, the injury in his shoulder almost completely closed by now. A safe haven? What for? Or from, for that matter? Either way, it hadn't seemed to really work for keeping people safe so far. Staring confusedly at EVE, Runo tapped his fingers against the side of the container he held. W-H-Y-_-H-E-R-E-? He hadn't expected to use that human code here, but was glad that he had learned some of it to signal Xicca after all. With his voice out for the time being, he would have to communicate somehow, even if his knowledge of this method wasn't perfect. Now he just hoped that someone else here would recognize Morse Code.

EVE's statement brought serious concern to Iremea. "A safe haven from what exactly?", she asked. She began to theorize the possible reasons for them being taken. If this was a safe haven then it's meant to protect from an outside force. But if she was taken off her world..The danger was to the entire realm! If this was true then there was a possibility that she and Kaszear would never see their home again. She looked to Kaszear with eyes of despair, he knew as well what this could mean but he showed no emotion other than a stern stare at EVE. His life was in service to his people, to protect those under his house. If their entire world was gone then his purpose was no longer to protect his people but his wife. But how could he do that? He knew nothing of where they were, the world outside this pyramid would not be a kind one to the couple. All he could do now was pray the gods would spare their home that they may one day return. Iremea spoke to Kaszear, it was not a long conversation but a few short words. Words that meant more to them two than anyone else here,"Ko Pahgein Mu Lahniv". Kaszear replied with the same words before walking back over to her side. Iremea directed her attention back to EVE, "Please it is imperative that you tell us all you know of why we are here. It may be possible to stop whatever is coming", her words were desperate. She wanted there to be a way to stop whatever was happening but in the back of her thoughts she knew it was probably inevitable. The Great Cleansing had arrived and she would not be there to be with the all mother and father again..

Once again everyone's reaction was not what she expected. She seemed to be making things worse rather than better. She was going off what she could remember when she was brought on board. It had been a long time ago and she was quite young at the time. "I am sorry. I reacted to Tanikazi's actions accordingly. No one is allowed to harm the others here." She was moving less robotically and more like a young girl trying to solve a puzzle in her head. "Things outside change, end. Nothing can avoid it forever. The pyramid was created to preserve species. Even things that some know as myths and legends exist on other plains of existence. The selection of subjects is not always the same. Some come willingly, others due to their individual circumstances, or at times because there is no choice. I cannot say from when, where, or the exact circumstances you were all brought here. I do not have connection to the system to query that information. I am doing my best but I am alone."

I'm a fighter, I'll handle anything that comes at me, Plus what do you want to accomplish by Keeping us locked up in this "Safe haven" Tanikazi began to yell, pointing fingers at that rust bucket, Pfft, what could possibly kill me out there,. Tanikazi calmed down a bit and spoke I'd rather die free and fighting then die Oppressed and safe

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Runo continued staring at the hybrid girl, thinking about how confused she looked; perhaps as confused as he had felt since waking up here, even. Based on what she had said, she was about as out of the loop as the rest of them were, so perhaps that wasn't too far off after all. Alone... That was something that he had always hated being. In a way, maybe this was like losing her pod. He knew how devastated he would be if that happened, and it saddened him to think of someone else going through such a thing. Placing the container he held back on the ground, he rose to his feet and moved to place a hand on Eve's shoulder, giving what he hoped would read as a somewhat reassuring smile. Even if she didn't know what was going on either, at least she didn't have to be alone in it. Besides, there had to be other ways of figuring out information about this place. So, the next thing was to find someone or something that did know what was going on, wasn't it? He looked toward the door again, wondering what exactly they should search for.

"I am sorry. I am not the one that makes the selection of who is brought here." She looks at the others to see their reactions. So far it was better to wait for them to ask and answer than to start spouting information. Runo put his hand on her shoulder and she turned to him. A quick scan told her he was still hurt. "You are injured." Raising a hand her palm glowed green. She was about to reach for his throat but stopped realizing that could be taken the wrong way. "I can heal you, but I must place my hand where the injury is."

@t2wave

Great, your awfully helpful today toaster, Tanikazi sarcastically said, he somehow doubted the robot couldn't free him. infact, Tanikazi didn't really know how to get out, one of the only hallways to the exit was closed off since Tanikazi set off a alarm in that room, but maybe he could still go there?. Its not like that little area would be blocked off forever. and if they had only one door, Maybe they've closed it, Escape was pretty much impossible but weren't the robots supposed to listen to ailka? Ailka don't the toasters take orders from you are some crap, Tanikazi asked

[twave]

Tanikazi's choice of words were confusing. This seemed to be a trend when it came to interactions between he and EVE. "You speak as if I've acted differently in the past. We only just met. Also I would appreciate if you would not refer to me in such derogatory terms. I am not an emotionless machine." Her words were soft and calm. There was no reason to get overly defensive without cause. EVE looked at Akila after hearing the kitsune's comment about the so called toasters and tried to identify who she was. Had the drones listened to her before? Should she as well? Yet more confusion to be had for the hybrid. Nodding slightly to the same thing Akila's expression was not quite confident on the matter. "The first one I encountered listened. But the ones that Runo destroyed shot at me so I am unsure how I am perceived." While it may be a somewhat obvious statement Akila made it anyway. "Each encounter seems to bring more questions than answers."

Runo tilted his head slightly, looking a bit confused until a stinging in his throat caught his attention. Ah...that's right. I thought it had healed a bit more by now... but I guess I haven't been able to swallow properly. He stared at the glowing color of her hand in curiosity for a moment longer before he nodded in understanding. She didn't seem like she would do anything bad.

[twave]

Placing her hand flat against Runo's throat there was a warm sensation which numbed the pain. Holding still for a minute EVE pulled her hand away and Runo and the damage seemed to have been healed. "That should do. How do you feel?"

[KatherinWinter]

Shea hadn't been really been paying attention. She had been so busy tuning out the conflict that ssge didn't notice EVE's blood right away. She looked up curiously. Maybe the robot girl wasn't a robot at all. Or atleast not completely. Shea walked around EVE curiously. She ignored everyone else. Her mind completely focused on the mystery that EVE presented.

@t2wave

Runo stayed completely still until Eve's hand was moved, placing his own hand on his throat for a moment and sighing in relief. When he could tell that a sound had come out without any pain, he smiled. "T...Thank you. Most of us take days to heal from that. I guess normal saliva just doesn't work that well on that injury." He shrugged a little before looking the hybrid girl over again. "How did you do that? You didn't use your saliva at all."

[twave]

"The effect is generated by a device in my palm that accelerates the natural healing process of many organic species." Having been primarily occupied by the others EVE finally looked at Shea as she circled. There were many species on this vessel, several of which had a human appearance so she had not initially picked up on that detail. Following the human with her gaze she stood in place. It wasn't difficult to tell they were studying each other.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

"Oh...that's amazing..." The merman stared in wonder for another second before he noticed Shea and Eve staring at each other. Taking this as a cue to move out of the way, Runo took a few steps back so they could observe each other better. It kind of reminded him of the first time that he'd seen a human, oddly enough. He must have looked very similar staring like that.

[nerminator]

everyone was siding with the rust bucket now, I'm sorry but thats what you are toaster, I'm not saying anything bad at all Tanikazi sarcastically insulted EVE, leaning against a wall he pulled out another smoke and turned it on again everyones siding with the frackin' toaster, now I truely am fracked I am sorry but you are a being made of metal with blood, your a emotionless Halfhuman robot

[KatherinWinter]

"She isn't a toaster." Shea told him only half paying attention to Tanikazi. He wasn't worth her full attention. "She is much more than a robot. None of Earth technology comes even close to what she is. She is amazing. She is something very unique. She might bleed but I don't think she is human. You bleed and your not human."

[twave]

The woman's ramblings put EVE's memory to task. She knew about humans. Was she human? After a couple minutes she responded. "I am human. I was brought here to serve as a caretaker and augmented for such." After further study she deturmined Shea was human. EVE could hardly remember the last time she saw another of her kind. That begged to question though... "How did you get on board? Are you here for the same purpose?"

[nerminator]

Honestly I don't care what she is Tanikazi Told the "human" haha everybodies siding with the robots! wonderful! I just don't know how you can be constantly harassed by big metal things like her, and still call her Amazing and unique. Tanikazi explained, getting off of the wall and walking closer to shea, intimidating her

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Runo took the opportunity to step between Tanikazi and Shea, holding out an arm as if to warn him not to interfere. "In case you missed it, she did say she was a scientist. Studying is what they do. What I can't fathom is how you don't see any use in doing so when it could potentially lead to the secrets we need to get out. Even if she were hostile, which she clearly isn't, did you never learn to know your opposition thoroughly? Even the youngest in my pod know that."

[nerminator]

I always learnt my opposition. I know that a Enemy is not supposed to be on our team! Tanikazi yelled. he didn't really know what else to say. he just wanted to get out of his little pyramid he was in. I just want to get the frack out of here!. Tanikazi exclaimed. it seemed pretty much everyone hated him, Tanikazi was used to people agreeing with him and moving on, his brain hurt.
