WHO: Root + Hera + Lee, Root + Victor, Root + Shaw WHERE: The Hangar, Oros WHEN: February 1-4th ish WHAT: Catch-all log post for various rescue mission related threads WARNINGS: Other than thermonuclear genocide? No other warnings as of yet, will edit the header if needed be.
We'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
[ Finished with her inspection, Hera leads the way on board, flipping switches like an old hand, which she is. It never takes her more than a few minutes to figure a ship out - like riding a bicycle, if Hera knew what that was. ]
Indeed. Maybe we'll get to glow in the dark, too, [she comments off-handedly, watching Hera get familiar with the ship. She definitely seems to know what she's doing, which is comforting; Hera being female is also a bonus, because Root feels a lot more comfortable around women than she does around men. Even if said women are of a different species.]
You mean rescue missions? Yes, although I'm far more experienced with offensive or defensive kinds of missions. But I'm no stranger to rescuing people from imminent danger.
[Root nods. She's well acquainted with pain and suffering, all right, and although she's never dealt with aliens before, she figures that the reactions to despair and impending doom are similar between all kinds of species.
As they make their way out of the hangar, Root takes a moment to admire the vast expanse of space surrounding them. If only they were on a sightseeing trip.]
Define 'not very friendly'. Are they outright violent, or did they simply not enjoy being invaded and observed by random strangers?
We didn't invade - not my group. [ Hera feels the need to clarify this. ] We went to try and establish diplomatic contact. They didn't attack us, but they seemed very violent towards each other in general.

[ Hera nods, and within about five seconds they're up and out of the hangar, and she's setting a course for Oros. ]
I have the most experience with the Trilks. They're not very friendly.
