"Well it seems that you know what you are doing. Let me tell you what you can't see. We found you body wandering around our ship, you mumble something before falling apart. So, we brought you into the ship, and I plug your core to the ship computer, and here you are! You body is quite damaged. And.... Oh you know you are a droid don't you? Of course you know. Now pass this ship you say is contacting us. If you probe useful I may not have to unplug you"

Damon takes a few steps away from the infected man, and then activates his communicator, anxious to find out who is sending a signal.

"Damnit man, I'm a doctor, not a grunt." The man says as he removes a device that was wrapped around his wrist. "Here take this. We humans are not supposed to have these but since you're carrying Boost I don't think you mind about having what you're not supposed to have. It's a medical scanner we found on a dead world." He hands the thing to you and holds out his left arm. "You don't happen to have a cryo-unit nearby? I wouldn't mind you finding a cure but I'm afraid this is quite speedy virus."
OOC: Sorry others, I'll reply to Damon's and Cnosos's action when I find the rest of my notes. I don't want to come up with names on the flight, and I have the name of the patrol craft tucked somewhere in my moving boxes.
[i] . o O {That's my line.} Michael thinks, taking his own sample while injecting the boost and the sporekill. [color=sandybrown] "What a coincidence; so am I." [color] he takes the scanner, looking at it appraisingly, "Must to the chagrin of legitment authorities I tend not to bother with what is legal and what isn't. My only alligence is to my Oath although at times I definatly regret taking it and my commrades.
I believe that we do have a functional cryo-unit on our ship; doesn't yours?"
Damon opens the channel on his communicator. The voice is harsh and very alien speaking in Dah. "Human vessel called Golden Greed, this is Hive-Master T'Kkyl of Republic Patrol Craft Chatkcha. We come to investigate this disturbance."
The computer keeps chatting with Cnosos. "Well well. Seems that the ship contains law-enforcers. Maybe I should let them know that you have kidnapped me. But then again, what's the fun in that. Let's make a deal. You repair my body, and I'll let you be."
Cnosos scratches his bald head , thinking for a moment. "Fair enough, I was about to propose you to be our computer if you wanted, but if you want your fragile body back, guess its your choice. I'll have it ready on a blink, oh by the way, Law enforcers? and what do you think they will do with a chatting computer and a pile of droid trash?"
Without waiting for an answer, Cnosos starts working in the droids arm, which seems severely severed and damaged. "By the way, who did this to you? Must be someone really strong, this metal is all bended."

OOC: Sorry for delay. I was waiting for Rhun, but I guess he missed the last update.
Michael takes the device and takes a good look at it. It looks like this. There are a few buttons and nothing more. The man coughs again before explaining. "No, my ship doesn't have cryo-cababilities. It was never designed for that. Well it was not actually designed for hyperspace flight either but that's not the case. The boost seems to be working. I feel a bit better. The device. Put it around your arm and press the big button. It opens a holographic interface. Well in lack of better terms at least."
On the ship: "I'm no computer thank you very much. I'm a living creature. My brain just happens to have more electricity than yours. Beside this junk is hardly a capable body. And I have no idea what happened to my body. My sensors went wild after the attack so although I have memories of what happened after that, they are very strange. I think you organics would call it hallucination." Cnosos tries to make anything out of the droids body but it is just too complex for you to fix. You have no idea how to fix the sensors.
"Hum.... well my friend, I can assure you, this is no organic body, and it is far too complex for me to fix. Although, you state that you are indeed a living organism... I wonder, did your brain hmm.... get transfered to this droid?" Cnosos asks, intercom on, scratching his bald head.

"Fasinating. Before we put you down for an ice nap we need to find two suits he looks at Faris "Unless you think you need me in here, I'll take our injured friend and my mobile cadaver back to the Greed and see what I can find out about the pathegon.
"Maybe I should go back too. Unless you think you'll need me here. I just figure, with this guy maybe turning into a zombie, we might want to have someone who can shoot on the ship. Plus, if we have to get out of here, it'll be faster if I'm at the controls already."
Damon opens the channel on his communicator. The voice is harsh and very alien speaking in Dah. "Human vessel called Golden Greed, this is Hive-Master T'Kkyl of Republic Patrol Craft Chatkcha. We come to investigate this disturbance."
Sorry! I totally missed this somehow!
Damon nods at Faris before responding. "Looks like the Republic Patrol Craft is here..."
He then turns his attention to the comm. Opening the channel, he replies. "Hive Master T'KKyl of Republic Patrol Craft Chatkcha, this is Damon Knight of the Gold Greed. Be advised that there appears to be a possible biological contaminatation; advise use of full quarantine protocols at this time."

OOC: I must apologize the delay again. I will see if I can make an update today but don't hold your breath. I've been a bit busy during the weekend and haven't really had time to think at this at all.
"Acknowledged. We will land soon. I want to talk to you. Meet you where?" Comes the Hive-master's sharp voice through Damon's comm. You are currently in the Command Center of the base and suddenly realize that the emergency broadcast is still sending. You can shut it down from there.
Mel and Michael take the wounded man and the incapacitated "zombie" back to Greed. You find an undamaged suit for the man in the airlock. Walking down there he gives Michael few more instructions on how to use the machine.
The droid answers to Cnosos. "You misunderstood. That body is my original. I am not an organic being. Technically speaking I might be a droid, but I prefer the wording electro-mechanical life. And I resent the word computer when speaking of my brains. They are far more sophisticated than you meat-brain." The thingy is obviously quite contemptous for organic life. It pauses abrubtly for a second and then continues. "Great. That patrol craft. Full of K'tings. I hate K'tings. Okay, I wont tell them that you kidnapped me if you don't tell them about me. Deal?"
"Kidnapped you? My dear life-wannabe, if I wouldn't take you on board your sophisticated cybernetic brain would be rooting as space trash out there. You are quite smart, why do you think anybody would bother for a broken super sophisticated droid like you? Or is there somethin else about this K'tings that you aren't telling me? It is obviously not so hard to understand, if you are cooperative I will be so." Cnosos says, armas crozzed in ront of his chest

Damon moves to shut down the emergency beacon. He switches the communicator back on. "Let's can meet in the airlock. The threat does not appear to be airborne."

An announcement: As it stands I have a sudden change to resume to my studies in autumn, and I have a huge exam regarding this in the late spring. Now it's still almost three months to that but I need to start consentrating on it. This means that I will have to drop these bigger games I'm running. I'm sorry. This was a fun game and I'm glad we reached to the (almost) end of first adventure. I only wish that I had found more to do for Mel. I will still continue the couple Solo games I'm running and I'll be around as a player.
Hope to play with everyone of you sometime.
If, by summer you are still interested I might perhaps resume this.
As with Lost in Space, let me know if you pick this game up again in the summer.

It took some convincing to get the Republic Patrol to accept the incident as human internal affair but finally they left the station. You decided not to tell them about the secret research facility on the other side of the moon.
While Michael escorted your guest to the ship, he activated some remote control which launched the fightercraft on autopilot to gods know where.
After quite a haggle the droid agrees to release your ship's computer in exchange for a trip back to Segdiiri homeworld as soon as possible, and for your promise to not tell anyone about him.
After your return to Unity you had a disagreement with Admiral Nelson on wether or not the things you found on the secret station were included on your salvage rights. Afterall, he had agreed on them only because he thought you wouldn't notice the research base. But since the gear didn't officially exist at all, and not even all of the Council knew of it he had no choice but to let you keep them.
It was during your debriefing that both Michael and Faris left you. Michael had been offered a research position on attempting to find a cure for the artificial virus that had wiped the way station and infected the mysterious man who now lay in cryo-sleep. And Faris couldn't tell you much what had happened, but he had received a more lucrative offer on Unity Special Services. Back in the security where his training had been, but now on more secretive assignment.
Finally it was over and you were ready to continue onwards...
