[QUOTE="Arabesu, post: 4038100, member: 534"] Tyrroth does answer and now that he has had a good chance to recover from his meeting with that despicable kyton, he dedicates his attention to the contact while his subconscious-muscle memory continues the form. "Citizen Starzaeon, directness is always appreciated. Water does not flow up hill but instead through the valley." Tyrroth studies the feed for a moment and upon realizing the gravity of the situation decides to process the data less casually and more methodically.* His years of training and intellectual strength allow him to fully divide his emotions from his capacity for reason. Thus, while his rational side processes the images, reports, and flight logs, his intuition combs the same data along with any recorded engrams for consistency, validity, and truth. He has lived a long time. One would assume that little could surprise or shock him at this point, but nevertheless the feed from Melanoce affects him deeply. The corpuscular throbbing of the alien ship combined with its non-Euclidean geometry and clear violation the known laws of space-time solidify for him the vast dread mounting from both paths of his mind; his rational side immediately processes IT as a THING THAT COULD NOT BE, while his intuition forces him to retch mentally and deem IT as a THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE. "Undoubtedly, you contacted me because of my history with hunting down those who would damage souls. Perhaps you know of my background, but if you don't I will save my telling of it for another more convenient time. Thus the threat of the Lords of the Outer Dark colonizing even a molecule of our universe would be expected to pique my interest.
