ORB - RD9, Mid-Morning.

[shadow_sage]

[A new face, feminine, blue, and topped by, well, tentacles, appears in the Orb. She looks rather frustrated, and as she speaks, her voice carries a note of the same thing.]

My name is Dr. Liara T’Soni. My kidnapper insisted that this...device...would allow me to speak with others taken from their worlds. Like it was a gift, to help me play his little game. Of course, I’m probably just standing here talking to a rock. Goddess, I haven’t done that for a while.

[Shaking her head, she puts a hand up, covering most of her face.]

There isn’t much I can do without information, and what I’ve been given isn’t very helpful. I don’t suppose that anyone else had more luck getting answers than I did, but it can’t hurt to ask. Do you know anything?

[She drops the hand and sighs.]

We can’t possibly have much time left, so does anyone have a way to get a signal off of this planet? I don’t even know what cluster this is, so I have no idea how far away the front is, but I am certain that it is moving closer. They have hit just about everything else already. I must speak to someone in the allied fleet as soon as possible.

I'm not sure. I still don't even know very much about what is happening here.

[He perks right up]

Faolan knows lots of things!

Are thorns! Evil thorns! Heroes supposed to kill them! Haven't yet!

[shadow_sage]

And nobody has a clue as to how we...they...might, I imagine.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

If they did, wouldn't need us. [Isn't that reasonable?]

[shadow_sage]

If they have no idea, what reason do they have to assume we might? No, sorry, never mind. That's not really important, is it?

How long have you been here?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan has been here days and days!

OMG, Faolan. Just saying: keep rocking. \m/

[shadow_sage]

Are your...parents here?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Hawk is here. Hawk is daddy.

[shadow_sage]

Hawk. I don't think I've met him.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Hawk is smith! Makes things with metal! Hawk is good!

[shadow_sage]

A metalsmith. I imagine he's quite popular.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Is! Hawk is great!

[shadow_sage]

If I'm here for a while, perhaps you can introduce us.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! Can be friends! Faolan likes friends!
