The desert was full of sand, he noted with distaste, although he would have been more surprised and concerned if it hadn’t. Sand had an awful habit of getting in places he forgot he had, leading to finding sand in pockets and shoes months after being near the source.
Well observered Nathan *hands ribbon for stating the obvious* XP Also Nathan sounds like Anakin in Episode 2: Attack of the Clones when he talks about sand....
Geek cleared her throat. “I’m sorry to interrupt, but it’s urgent that you show me where you saw these two, Nathan, and the house you found.” Nathan raised an eyebrow. “How urgent?” “If we don’t move fast enough, a war may break out between Heaven and Hell.” Nathan whistled. “Pretty urgent. A nine out of ten.” “What’s a ten out of ten?” Seven asked, frowning. “When you really have to pee. Thank the gods I don’t have to deal with that anymore.”
Yeah those ten out of ten situations could lead to you killing a queue of people just to get to the toilet....XP
“You haven’t left the Mainframe in ages,” Tanadin protested. “Take a break. Come back to Akrar for awhile. Some of our friends are starting to think I killed you and stashed your body in a closet somewhere.”
The similarity between Seven and Lupus continues Tana, a number of my friends had only met Lupus once or twice in the 6 years we've been together leading many of them to joke that I had done the same to Lupus XD
“This is the Mystrex M, sixty-second incarnation, requesting…” M took a deep breath and sighed. “It’s M. Can I land? I’m in a bit of hot water right now and I don’t really have anywhere else to go. I know you don’t trust me- I wouldn’t trust me either- and probably think I’m up to something, but...I’m not coming as a representative of Hatu, but as an old ally.” He paused. “I kind of betrayed my entire race and have nowhere else to go.” Seven opened his mouth to respond but Tanadin beat him to it. “Granted. You can land. Just...don’t try anything.”
This should be interesting....*grabs popcorn*
Grothek was one of the alien nine thousand units who had been assigned to guard the first ring, and had been the only one that they’d managed to recover. He was incapable of speaking English normally due to his reptilian jaws and thus had a vocal processor that spoke with a near-monotone voice. He didn’t speak often, but when he did he was surprisingly witty and sarcastic despite his lack of inflection. He was friendly, if solitary, and Tanadin usually took a minute to talk to him whenever she saw him.
Grothek sounds cool.
“I’m here because I know nowhere else that’s habitable and free of my race. I betrayed them by defending Kaldriel- they seek to retake it and I spoke against them.” Tanadin ignored the look at Seven shot at her. “I... may have been a bit more aggressive than I needed to be, but I don’t regret it.” He cringed. “Well, actually, I do. I wish I’d grabbed more food before I’d left. Other than that…” His claws tapped on the ground and his head tilted a few times. “And why I thought you might accept me...I hoped you’d understand my position.” He held out his hands helplessly. “I didn’t have a choice. You’ve already trusted me more than I thought you would.”
That look from Seven to Tana speaks volumes: Seven: SEE! I KNEW THEY'D BE COMING BACK! YOU ALL THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND PARANOID! *coughs* I mean I logically calculated their return and was right. XD
“A Seven lookalike?” Tanadin raised an eyebrow at M’s sudden reaction. He raised his head and stood up straighter, tilting his head in interest. “What do you mean?” “I don’t know. Shawn and Nathan ran into a cyborg that looked remarkably like Seven and a phoenix similar to Clash in the mountains around Akrar-” “What did he look like, exactly?” M’s voice fringed on anger and….frustration? Tanadin could remember his voice now, but it was odd and hard to understand, like her ears and her brain weren’t registering the same sounds. “Nathan didn’t say. Why? Do you know him?” “I might,” M growled, “and I thought I’d left that particular problem behind back on Hatu.”
Hooo boy....M's about to let them know that they have Lab Kids. Seven's likely going to want to kick M's butt back into space even more after that.
