Roll 11Gideon couldn't recall having ever met aliens in his life. The dead soldier sounded human and spoke a human language, though. He really didn't want to pull the helmet off now that Serris found out it was corrosive, but he wondered if it was possible that the Solar System had been invaded by aliens while he was gone.
"Wait a minute, what year is it?""2842..." said the doctor while his back was turned. Serris had gone back to observing the sample.
[3] Gideon tenuously extended his time-lock to the body, at an increased Psi cost per turn.
...
Maximilian started shouting into his communicator, switching into every frequency he could. There was still no response.
[3] He knew where they were, though, so he planned to come up to them after the conversation was over and help Aldarist teach them a lesson. As he thought, however, he realized that his knowledge was no matching up to his memories. He was visualizing the patrol walking, when he had never seen them since their first departure.
Perhaps his powers were coming back to him; he hadn't found a use for them since he fled Canis Majoris as they were too dangerous to use around people. He had to control them... before something happened again.
Aldarist looked at him and asked,
"You wanna go?""Let's do it. Jacob, are you coming with us?""Why yes of course. I want to test this suit""Don't shoot them unless they're traitors.""I'm sure they are. Anything else would be a stretch to believe."Max wasn't familiar with Jacob. He had been on the
Sundawn's last few voyages along with Serris and Aldarist--and he hated Aldarist--but Jacob was new on the ship. He wondered what happened to the ship's old engineer, Mrs. Faulkner.
...
Jacob checked on the drone's cameras through his visor. The transmission stated that the security personnel had a robot following behind them, and Jacob had programmed the drone to do so.
[2] The camera feed indicated that the drone wasn't moving, and all Jacob saw through it was an empty hallway. He took out his remote controller for the drone and swivelled the camera around on its mount. The drone was alone in a hallway--not following anyone.
"Guys, my drone isn't with them. Something isn't right."...
Serris picked up the body along with Gideon and set it on an operating table. Handing Gideon as mask and putting one on himself, he took out his drill, armor saw, and began to work.
The inside of the helmet had two tubes that went into the subject's nose. The subject was, as far as they could tell, human. The respirator had stopped circulating pink gas after the soldier died, but there was residue all over the man's face. It was starting to eat into his skin--which made Serris wonder how this stuff could be inhaled through the nose. He had to dig deeper. Putting on thicker gloves this time, he began to look for physical augmentations of any sort. While they were rare due to medical complications, augments were not unheard of. Serris expected to find some kind of tubing in the nasal passages, but instead he found a normal human airway with one exception: There was an additional passage leading from the beginning of the trachea into part of the brain.
