People don't tend to think about rules when in disputes. Instead, just point out that whoever stops arguing first gets to see the other make a fool of themselves if they going after it all stopped.

The best part about being on the Guild this long is that nowadays, I can sit back and chuckle as the newcomers try to start a fight an instead get all the old hands ganging up on them. Popcorn for me.

Got my first covid vaccination today. I was terrified, but the staff there were very well trained and things went well.

Every few minutes playing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, I tear up from the memories. It's not often you get a game that truly pulls at the same heartstrings as your childhood playthrough's once did.
Interest sparked within Ruby as the chief of security spoke about being abducted and placed into a super-soldier program. She took mental notes as he went on to explain what the organisation did to him: From what she could recall, the files only described him as a normal soldier, nothing that special about him, even though there were some subnotes including suspicion about his capabilities. The suspicion seemed justified, Ruby could check some boxes when she had a moment.
James then asked Ruby why she chose to come on the expedition. "Oh, you don't understand, I can go to any section or the military or remain a true intelligence person, but I have little leeway when it comes to deployment," she says.
"Dangerous, but doesn't danger have it's own beauties?" Ruby asked, before going on to reply to his next comment. "Hey, I thought almost the same thing. Us coming here in a ship," she took a moment to wave vaguely in the direction of the ship, "-Might be the equivalent of a grocery delivery. Tinned meat." She followed James on his path as he walked past the bird.
"Hephaestus? Nah, I was born on Kepler-17x. Whatever deity is up there, if there even is one, probably decided to look into my future before placing me in my mother's womb. He or she saw I was going to be a military girl, and decided to place me on a non-Zenohunt world so I'd have to wait for longer to get into the nearest Zenohunt recruitment building," Ruby grinned. "As it is, they probably skipped over the part where my parents died and Zenohunt Intelligence picked me up. I probably won't ever be picked up for Zenofighter training, it's rare anyone actually is, but I do have a shot at transferring to another section of the military if I actually want to."
"How about you, where you from?" Ruby asked to further the conversation, even though she already knew. Perhaps he would tell her something she wouldn't know.
"Well, I guess so," Ruby replied to James' suggestion that they could explore. It would give her a chance to explore the local area. She paused as he started to order the cyborgs to enable the barriers, and Ruby started to eye them with some curiosity. They were, in her opinion, quite strange. They looked capable, yet at the same time she could not help but think they were all look and talk, but no fight.
Shrugging to herself, Ruby turned to have a staring contest with a beautiful bird. She won, the bird obviously did not know it was a contest, with a smile, before turning to James. "This place is beautiful."
Ruby quirked an eyebrow as she was stared at by James, and for a moment she wondered if he was some kind of android that was failing to compute. The thought of breaking a robot this easily made her grin. His words, however, were a slight surprise to her: How was she supposed to react at being called tender and easy to eat?
James then seemed to go on about how he would protect her, and Ruby forced herself to not giggle away. "Oh, please. You're not the only one assigned to security. In a manner of speaking," she said, patting her sidearm. "Though if I do need some help, I'll be sure to ask for you," she grinned, crossing her arms. "Speaking of, is there anything you need help with? I'm currently free until I decide to find someone and disturb, or annoy, them." Ruby could not help but wink at him.
The beauty of the pure, untouched planet struck Ruby Indigo as she strolled out of the ship, ILP-221 strapped firmly to her waist. The planet may look beautiful and happy as can be, though there wasn't much to be said against taking a little extra protection. The beautiful birds that stared at them could easily be carnivores, and just wondering what the new meat would taste like. People arriving in ships might just be their equivalent of tinned meat.
It was hard to think of them as hostile, though. The birds made Ruby light up in delight, and even though she knew she had a job to do, she just wanted to sit and watch them. Taking her datapad off of her belt, she lifted it and began to record the surroundings, speaking into the microphone in Zenospeak, the language of Zenohunts, and recording what she thought of the surroundings as well as any implications that would affect landing on the planet.
Just as she clicked off the button for recording, Ruby heard the chief of security order a perimeter around the base. She rolled her eyes in perhaps a childish manner. "Is someone getting scared that the birds are gonna eat him?" Ruby called over to him with a giggle.
Zenohunts are almost similar to Humans apart from the fact that they often have some minor changes in personality based on their animal traits; Zenohunts have some features of animals, let that be a tail or ears. They sometimes vary, some having claws, for example. It is uncommon to rare for a Zenohunt to have wings, however only one Zenohunt, Amelia Lara, was able to use them to fly, and even then she could only fly for a small amount of time.
Zenohunts came from their home planet, Lemia, and were quite territorial. They often started wars amongst tribes for food or land. After a long while, official 'peacelands' were made, but few still raided these for what they needed before they were cut down. It wasn't until Zenohunts expanded into space that actual peace started among them. Meeting other species was usually met with confusion on their side: The Zenohunts would arrive in their territory with a massive battlefleet or Supership, yet claim they wanted peace.
Zenohunts usually start out young: In systems where they are government, they are allowed to leave school and work at the age of twelve, and at that age they are also allowed to marry and have a family (though this requires permission from the local authorities as well as some tests to make sure that the couple are sure of what they are doing). This includes the military: They are allowed to join the Zenohunt army at twelve (Home Deployment Force) or fourteen (Non-Home Deployment Force), the Zenohunt Navy at thirteen (or fourteen if they wish to become an attack pilot), and the Zenohunt Marines at fourteen. Zenohunt intelligence usually recruits from the ages of six and up, particularly if they have military experience. All of this can change depending on the rules of where they live: Zenohunts obviously cannot join a Human military at the age of fourteen, since there are rules regarding this, though it is not unknown of Zenohunt Intelligence to still recruit at young ages (with less frequency) in other species' territories where Zenohunts reside.
Zenohunt relation with other species is that their military forces, including (but not limited to) their Space Navy, Army, Intelligence, Marines and Zenofighters (Super-Special forces) are not integrated into any other species' militaries, and are in a separate but stable alliance. Their merchant marine and trade ships, however, are free to flutter in and out of societies (the former able to until called to war), and their people and free to mingle with other species.
More information is available if asked for.
Role: Zenohunt intelligence, there primarily to help out with security both during the expedition and to see long-term security threats that may happen during actual colonization. Secondarily, her superiors also believed this would be a good chance for Zenohunt relations with other species. Affiliation: Acionna Expedition, Zenohunt Military Relationship Status: Single Appearance: Ruby has dark brown hair that falls down to just over halfway down her back. She has a clean and pretty face with brown eyes and brown eyebrows. Small lips and small ears add onto this, as well as a pair of brown fox ears on her head, which marks her clearly as a Zenohunt if she isn't wearing a hat or hood over them. Going further down, she has a reasonable but not-to-large bust on her chest, and she is quite slim. She has a brown fox tail, which also marks her as a Zenohunt if the ears were not clear enough.

Can change from a lethal laser to a stun laser, which is like the equivalent of being hit by a taser, but holds the charge as if the user of the taser was holding the trigger.
