Strange Visitors

[cityship]

||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?

Each of 'em got their decent folk. But, as a rule, no, y' really wouldn' wanna. And Jono agrees. Then again, anybody called 'Deathbird' should probably be avoided at all costs as a rule.

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.

"Well, ye mentioned Professor Xavier, and Cerebro on that mission, but we'd not had the chance to talk more at the time." Jamie admitted, then looked over at Julian with a rather curious expression as something occurred to him. "Genetic...oh! Is that what ye meant by mutant?"

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.

The corners of Jono's eyes turned upward in a smile. Aye, that's what I mean by mutant. And maybe he should have, but Jono's not exactly the easiest guy to get to talk sometimes. Even when he's in the room. Cerebro's a...machine, back in me world. It amplifies telepathic powers. Might be useful 'gainst the Ohm Nodes, but we ain't got one. An' I don't know enough about it t' see if the Sensoriums can make one.

It was probably for the best, really. But it was also kind of annoying in its own right.

"Aye, that could be helpful," Jamie said, able to recognize the possibilities even if he doesn't completely understand how something like that would work. He'll just go with the idea that it would boost things somehow and not worry about that part too much.

"Well, maybe Professor Xavier will wake up sometime. Or maybe these visitors know something that'd be useful in fighting the Ohm."

Hell, Jono had no idea how it worked, only that it did. Professor Xavier seemed to understand and that was enough for Jono. 'At's what I think. Anythin' what could give us any sorta advantage would be good. It might not even be an advantage, but the first time it was used, it might be something. Enough to get a leg up.

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.

Jamie folded his arms against his chest and nodded, looking at the arrivals a touch warily. "Aye. We go to fight this splinter group and they just happen to show up. That's very handy, if ye ask me."

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."

Jono makes a considering noise, watching them move amongst the crew. Like I said. Might jus' be me bein' paranoid. He just knew he didn't particularly like it.

[bonnypiperlad]

"Maybe so, but it'd not hurt to keep an eye on them, I think." It'd do no real harm, and, well...if something did happen they'd at least have an idea.

"Unless ye have a better idea?"
