Kyoko not having more important orders at the moment would help the techies with the drones and hopefully speed up the processes of basic maintenance.
Your help is much appreciated and it does makes basic maintenance faster. Go you!
There was very little more for Vigil to do but continue trying to look after the young girl. He would offer her the chocolate, opening it up for her and taking off a small piece, putting it in his mouth to show her it is food, and handing it to her to do what she wants, trying hard to keep her as calm and happy as possible. Even humming softly to her, a slow and mournful song that he had once heard long ago.
People have calmed down somewhat, and the weak child eats the offered candy and juice. She's still sad and angry, but she's eating and isn't trying to bite your fingers off anymore.
"Guys put that woman down. Its for the best. And Tal? You back the fuck off of these people for the rest of the mission"
Frazz will then basically plant himself between the Plebes and Satan Tal. He will also examine the Plebes closer. Do a headcount, ask for names ((using the basic 'point at self, say name' method))
The woman was already let go, there's no need to hold her anymore anyway, three of her limbs aren't working. You try asking for names, and it's a bit of a struggle at first, but you've come to learn names of the fifty two survivors including the sacrificed lady, remembering them is up to you. The villagers seems to be more willing to talk to you after some name-exchanging but you still don't understand them.
What do you even plan to do anyway?
Zander will also remove his mask and beckon the wiznerd with the language tablet to follow. Zander will then approach the old man who shot him and kneel down across from him, staring at him for a second trying to gauge the man.
"Can you understand me at all, old man? If you can, speak so that may understand what you're saying." If he doesn't seem to understand, ptomaine with our hand for him to talk.
The old man talked, but you still couldn't understand. But Steve uses his Tablet to run some language learning and show the old man some pictures. "Apple." He said and press at the image of an apple before gesturing for the old man to do the same in his own language.
This might take a while..
Meanwhile, the weapon that the old man used is still easily within reach... as nobody picked it up yet.
"Never have I hated my own body more than I do now," Zach says. "Also, if we keep the girl's mother alive, we could sacrifice a cloned virgin for her back at base, right?"
"Oh, and I'm still getting that reading from my powers. We need to evac sooner rather than later. All I know is that we're no longer the predator here. Something or someone is out there, more powerful than us, and they're getting closer."
You can't be certain if the power is more or less powerful than you, only that it exists. Though that feeling of being stared at is already gone.. now you've learned how to detect stuff! yay you.
Wearing the arm and legs taken from dead people and powered by the vitality of a mother taken from her daughter kinda dampens that, though.. and speaking of which, you probably should tell Jon to amputate the arm and legs of the crying woman, leaving rotten limbs on her definitely isn't going to be healthy.
