Strange Visitors
||Mission complete,|| Stacy's voice rang out through the ship. ||Obs deck returning.||
The mission was a success, and so the away team returned, and the Obs Deck was back in it's proper place.
But, this time, they came back with a few more visitors.
Among the returning crew members stood three strange aliens. There was the ever-dour Revus Lod, the energetic Ippli, and the stoic Commander Rahk.
The Lensmen commander looked around at his surroundings, his expression rather inscrutable at the moment.
Anyone want to say hi to the new arrivals?

"Of all the times for the Doctor to have gone back to the pods," he muttered to himself after a bit, not realizing he'd spoken aloud. "He'd love this."

Jono was still looking a bit pale and drawn. He hadn't been around much since the day of Punishment. But the new people had drawn him out, piquing his interest. Different from what I'm used t' when it comes t' aliens, though. Mos'ly met Shi'ar an' Kree back home. Skrulls if you were real unlucky.
no subject
"Aye. Although the one looks a wee bit like an Ice Warrior, if ye squint." To be fair, Commander Rahk is rather more serpentine in appearance than the warrior Martians, but it's the closest race Jamie can come up with to use for comparison. It works in his head, and that's all he really needs right at the moment. Jono's statement, though...that's brought up a whole new set of questions.
"Why would it be that unlucky if ye met a skull? Usually they just lie there. Well...unless you've run into a spirit that decides it wants to throw one at ye out of spite."
no subject
The question got an amused sound from Jono as he shook his head. Skrull. S-K-R-U-Double L. With it came an image of a green-skinned female (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Queenveranke.jpg) with a very odd chin and pointed ears. They're shapeshifters. So means you never know when you might be hangin' out with 'em. They tend t' be pretty warlike, too.
no subject
Then again, the image of the Skrull was also different, and Jamie looked very surprised for a moment. He's still not very used to that aspect of telepathy. "Oh!"
After he had a moment to consider things, however, he nodded. "Aye. They sound very dangerous." Having that particular ability and those war-like tendencies is a rather deadly combination, and he's glad that there don't seem to be any aboard Stacy. At least, none that he knows of right now - and he'll just keep it that way for the time being.
"What about the other two ye mentioned? The Kree and the Shee-ar? Are they the same way?"
no subject
Shi'ar are...well, they're kinda descended from birds. Jono raised an eyebrow at that, flicking through his memories before showing Jamie one of the females (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Xdeathbirdlee.jpg). Got feathers fer hair. Most of 'em don' have wings anymore, but you get one every once in a while. Mos'ly, they're jus' as nasty as the Kree an' Skrulls are, but mos' of the time they manage t' keep it 'tween themselves an' not bring Earth into it. An' sometimes, one of 'em just 'as t' take a shot. He shook his head. Still, they got a lot of tech advances that're pretty useful. Professor Xavier -- he's the one what runs the school I went to -- he's sort of in love with their empress. An' so he's got access to some of it.
no subject
"Oh, so you'd not particularly want to run into any of them, from what ye are saying."
He shifted his weight from one leg to the other - not really out of any inherent restless, but just because it felt a little more comfortable. "I don't think ye mentioned this school before, either, have ye?"
no subject
Haven't? He blinked, then shook his head. Xavier runs a school fer people like me. An' Julian an' Sofia. Kids what got powers through a genetic quirk, mainly. When I went, was only a small number of kids what were invited. By the time Julian an' Sofia an' their class came along, the school was pretty much open t' the public. Main idea was t' teach us how t' control our powers, much as they could be. Make it easier t' live in the world.
no subject
He really should have asked ages and ages ago, to be fair, but what with everything that's happened on the ship since - he'd completely forgot about it until now. And he figured they could still talk and watch the new arrivals at the same time.
no subject
It was probably for the best, really. But it was also kind of annoying in its own right.
no subject
"Well, maybe Professor Xavier will wake up sometime. Or maybe these visitors know something that'd be useful in fighting the Ohm."
no subject
Jono glanced at the visitors, the corners of his eyes tugged downward. Might jus' be me bein' paranoid, but... It all seemed a little convenient to him.
no subject
He's not entirely sure he trusted this sudden appearance by the strangers. Still...
"They must have had something about their story that checked out, though, or the Captain wouldn't have let them come aboard."

"Unless ye have a better idea?"
