Yea Scree isn't in the landing gear anymore... he's in the medbay with ImportantNobody and Caits

Also finally posted. Not really amazing, but it's something.
Scree stared as the others started to act... strange, flapping their wings and making strange sounds. What the heck was happening here? Were they angry? Some kind of ritual? The Anarti didn't even consider the concept of the giant structure he was in being capable of flight. Just lift was theoretical at best, the sheer amount of energy required surely impossible to even comprehend. A bright explosion briefly flicker out the window as unknown to him a ship exploded, causing Scree to jump back momentarily as the strange creature continued prodding around on his face.

The Anarti did feel a little better, the bleeding having stopped long ago, the cracks in his exoskeleton having fused together at an impressive rate. He looked around himself with more renewed curiosity, aware of his inability to really affect the situation, so simply intent to watch for now. Vials of liquids and strange machines stood around him, leaving him to wonder what this place was used for "Hospital? Some kind of place for them to study him?". He mostly was speaking to himself at this point, having given up for the moment in trying to communicate. Presumably at some point he'd end up meeting someone who could attempt to communicate, and until then he was perfectly happy simply allowing these strange figures to do what they wanted. Well, that was the case, until the sound of footsteps approached, and everything got a little less comfortable.
Ugh, I'll try to get a post up at some point. Just totally out of ideas that aren't "And Scree sad there with no clue WTF was going on" :D
BTW just wondering, where is the medbay in relation to the bridge, AKA will we be getting any unwanted visitors at any point?

Also, kinda stuck on what to write next....
"Yes! I'm Scree!"

Whatever excitement the Anarti may have had dissipated when suddenly he was assaulted by yet another creature, being dragged onto a seat with no chance for resistance. Normally he would have been fascinated by the absolute strangeness of the thing, as it consistently did a seemingly impossible balancing act by moving around on two legs, rather looking like someone had started creating this species then forgot to add the second leg section. However he didn't really have much time for thinking and wondering, as it set upon his face with a damp cloth.

"Ow. Ow ow!!! What in the hive are you doing! OW!!!"

The sound of almost angry clicking eminated from his mandibles as Scree verbally, if not physically, protested as the clear sticky liquid was wiped away easily. Eventually the wiping stopped, leaving the new creature to setup whatever the next step in its strange ritual was, giving Scree a little time to keep attempting to communicate. He fished quickly through his satchel, riffing through the papers until he came upon what he was looking for: A map of what he thought was the local area, drawn by yours truely.

"Scree started here. With other Anarti here at the camp. Scree traveled along this path until I reached... this."

He held the map out with one forceps, using the other to poke the paper and show his path

"Scree needs to go back. To other Anarti. To get anyone who knows more about language theory than I do..."

For the first time since he'd arrived a little discouragement seeped through his persona, head and antennae drooping a little. And then he spotted something... queer. This room like all the rest held a variety of interesting and flashy items, a million questions about what they did and what they were never asked. But there was something he did recognize. A window. A long rounded viewport showing the night time sky and its thousand stars. Each one untwinkling, as if they were painted onto a cave wall. Scree got up slowly, making his way over, peering out the window, for the first time feeling fear.

He'd expected to see trees, to see possibly the mountains of the north. But instead there was nothing more than the inky void of space and its thousand jeweled stars. Scree turned to the others, concern and worry entering his voice for the first time, pointing frantically at the window and the map.

"Where am i?!"
I'll try to post sometime tomorrow.
I'm So sorry for not posting. Im feeling like I just can't keep up at the moment in anything. Is it still possible to continue in this roleplay?


Well Scree (and the other two) just walked into the medbay with a broken face, so plenty to do :D
Scree looked up, waiting for an answer, a little disappointment seeping into his ever enthusiastic persona when none came, instead making a low complicated noise. Of course them magically being able to understand him was a near impossibility, still those back at the hive would presumably have plenty of time to work out communication later. The floating one turned to the other, making that curious sound again, although different. Were they actually... communicating through sound? They were, weren't they? This was an incredible idea to the Anarti as he slowly once again made his way up the ladder. Scree would thought that the ability to emit sound could only be taken so far in terms of communication, basic emotion at best, yet these things seemingly had a fine control over the art.

He eventually clambered up looking at the two. The idea of him being in danger at any point didn't cross his mind, the dropping of the weapon being entirely missed on the Anarti. Surely a civilization as advanced as these must have had a unification event at some point. A faint dripping sound onto the metal floor filled Scree with a sudden embarrassment, just now the feeling of pain returning to his face. "Just great, first impressions and I'm bleeding everywhere." He scrambled into his satchel, the eyes of distrust from Uran obliviously washing over Scree as he pulled out an ink covered rag. His face was most obviously broken, but nothing serious aside from a few upcoming weeks of aching and pain. Still as Mana pointed and motioned for them to move onwards, Scree couldn't help feeling excited and optimistic.

--------------------

"Scree"

He tapped himself on the thorax. There were a million and one question he had as they moved through the ship, it taking all of his self control not to get distracted; lighted flashed everywhere and literally behind every walkway and corner there seemed to be yet another new and interesting thing. However the important thing was attempting some kind of communication with Uran, although how he'd do that was another question. Scree vaguely knew that math was a universal language, but he really wasn't sure how you'd get from tapping out prime numbers to actual conversation, language was hardly his expertise, and he needed to find an expert so the hive could send some people who did have that skill.

"Anarti". Trying again while banging and the strange sounds still went on in the background. Scree still wasn't really sure what all this was about, but the others didn't seem to be that worried, so perhaps all this noise was normal. He reached once more into the satchel with his free hand as they continued to walk, pulling out a small wooden compass. Perhaps he could use this along with the maps he was carrying to point out where the Anarti were. "That's weird..." The little iron needle normally pointed north, however right now it was spinning around in no clear direction. Perhaps the quantity of metal in this building was affecting it? He didn't have time to investigate this further though, as finally they reached their destination, the medbay doors sliding open and things continued to get weirder for little Scree.
YAY!!!! *Scree claps his monstrous clawed hands*
