The Long Sleep

[Rhun]

Victor felt a bit let down at the sight of the robots. His plan of overpowering a guard to gain a weapon if fighting broke out obviously wasn't going to work. Still, they seemed peaceful enough, for the movment. He remains silent, allowing the admiral a chance to speak.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Hmm, cute, not like brazilian women, but I could get used to it... Ze thinks to himself, as he waits for the ranking officer to initiate the dialogue.

 

[lonesoldier]

The Admiral nods. "I think it would be best if I stayed with the Hope and made sure the awakening teams are prepared. You've been trained for this kind of scenario, I have faith in you." The alien nods graciously and he takes his leave and heads back toward the Hope.

Once he has left, she continues. "Your artificial intelligence has explained that you are from Earth. Our ancestors were also from Earth, but our histories said that your ship was lost to the stars," she explains, "I am the Nu-anda of this station, let us walk to the medical station. There's much for us to speak of, do you have any questions?" She doesn't start moving, but the robots march off down the hallway, seeing no immediate threat.

"What's going to happen to us?" Ash asks, voicing the question that had been occupying most of her mind all this time.

"We were supposed to -colonize- this planet. We have thousands of people in stasis waiting to colonize a planet that's already got people on it. What are they going to do now?"

 

[Kaodi]

Those two words, medical station, make Andrew's face light up like one of those old 21st century bulbs.

" Do you think that you will be able to share your advances in biomedical knowledge with us? I would love to have a chance to learn about what kind of equipment you are using these days, and a chance to make a thorough examination of one of you, as I would believe that yours doctors are looking forward to seeing us as well. "

 

[DrZombie]

Reaves arches an eyebrow at the term 'medical station'. I hope they found something to replace those needles

 

[Steve Gorak]

"I am the Nu-anda of this station, let us walk to the medical station. There's much for us to speak of, do you have any questions?"

"I definitely have many questions, but I think that each of your answers will trigger many more questions. Oh, forgive my manners, I am Ze Antonio Costa, Hope's chief propulsion engineer." He approaches the woman, extends his hand a bit uncomfortably, not knowing exactly how to greet her. "I'm hoping we'll be able to access your library systems...you understand that I have some catching up to do! I saw a few ships with some curious propulsion systems. Could we have progressed enough for gravitic drives?". Ze then starts recalling the few papers he published on the gravitics. If only he had had more time before he left earth...

 

[Rhun]

Victor continues to stand quietly while the others ask their questions. He had plenty of his own, but none of a pressing nature. And silence could sometimes be its own benefit.

 

[stonegod]

Lech rolled the stogey to the other side of his mouth, and did nothing but keep his eyes on the 'human' and its now leaving robotic friends. He kept silent, his hands holding his weapon. If lead away, he would follow, trying to keep tabs on who or what kept with them.

bump! :\
