[Chapter 1] Iron Lords of Jupiter

[Mirth]

[groll] "Let's hope that worked. Seems your 'master' is still alive, Bone-Mender," [/groll] Morguk points to the barely breathing veth propped up on the podium. [groll] "I don't know if you care, though... What are those things doing now?" [/groll]

The marikon watches as the smaller mutant begins digging around in its contraption. Morguk walks over and watches the beast with wonder for a moment before calling back to Bone-Mender, [groll] "What was your 'master' doing with these creatures? Where did they come from originally? I've never seen anything like them before. It seems that this smaller one has some kind of crude intelligence. He's actually trying to fix this bizarre machine of theirs." [/groll]

As the smaller mutant bangs haphazardly on the hunk of metal, Morguk kneels down on his haunches to help. He points to different parts of the machine, pulling on levers and wires and using hand motions to suggest better ways of using the lab's tools. The marikon tries to make headway in understanding how this thing of theirs actually works.

 

[Vaxalon]

How does Alejandro react to Morguk's "help"?

 

[Macbeth]

Alejandro allows Morguk to watch, and accepts suggestions on using the tools as he understands them, but refuses to let Morguk actually touch the motorcycle. The fact that Morguk is actually helping improves Alejandro's attitude some: if this thing is helping him then it can't be too bad, at least it's helping him, not trying to kill him.
Once he's got the motorcycle back in order Alejandro will give a quick demonstration of what it does, riding around the lab a little bit. This should let the aliens know what it is and what it can do.

 

[Vaxalon]

The technology of the motorcycle is completely alien to Morguk, but he can tell that it uses electricity in some way, and that it also involves combustion, from the smell. He can't figure out the details, at this point.

 

[Macbeth]

Now that he is fairly sure that Morguk means no harm, Alejandro will try to find out if there is way out, and if the motorcycle might be useful:
"IS THERE A WAY OUT? OOOUUUTTT?" He says very slowly and clearly. He tries to motion with his hands to indicate the motorcycle might provide a way out.

 

[Macbeth]

If Morguk doesn't respond, Alejandro will descend the stairs, looking for any doors that lead out.

OOC: Yes, i know the map clearly shows that there is no way out, but Alejandro doesn't know that

 

[Mirth]

"JF KMPWV E MPR MUV? MMMUUUVVV?" The smaller mutant says very slowly and clearly. He tries to motion with his hands...

[groll] "Bone-Mender! I think this thing has to go to the bathroom!" [/groll] Morguk says as he grows increasingly frustrated with the situation. [groll] "I give up on this wretched metal scrap-heap of his, though. He can defecate all over it and himself for all I care. I'm going to work on something I can actually make --- weapons." [/groll]

 

[Vaxalon]

Aurthahz comes around, slowly, and drags himself over to his bed, and collapses into it in spite of the scorch-marks.

 

[garyh]

[groll]"You should probably hurry, Morguk," Bone-Mender replied, "we may not have much time."[/groll]

 

[Vaxalon]

[Imperial]"If you can stop thrashing around like a wounded drashig," croaks Aurthahz, "You've got all the time you need."[/Imperial]
