[Tate sounds excited, somewhere between shocked and amazed and horrified]

Holy shit. Guys- guys I know there's some serious shit going down right now, but did anyone else see the fucking alien in the grav chamber?

I saw that thing take some people out! Was that on the ship before? Does anyone know?


[ooc: anyone who doesn't know, he's talking about this.]

[...And then there's Rey, who speaks with the usual monotone. Only now, it's lighter, lifted, and somewhat more cheerful:]

Negative, was not on the ship before. [She pauses.] But it's amazing.

[Read as: "I AM HIGH AS FUCK RIGHT NOW."]

[voice]

[heltersskelter]

...Dude are you high?

[voice]

[circumitus]

Correction. I am -- euphoric.

Not Here

[assumed]

[ Alias has been monitoring the network rather intensely when it's managed the chance, between waiting for replies to its own inquiry -- hopeless, stupid venture. Stupid, so stupid.

And now, here is what it fears. In its room, the beast quite literally coils in on itself, issuing a pitchy whine.

How does it stop it? It doesn't know nearly enough about the device yet to see if it can hack it, and it never knew much about computers to begin with.

Can it kill this voice?

No. Not now.

But it does log the voice. This terrible, wretched thing. It'll find him.

The device is tossed across the room for now. It cannot.

...

But it'll be back later. Curiosity is its nature. Vanity and self-consciousness is its undoing. ]

There are a number of aliens on this ship. Which one are you referring to?

voice

[heltersskelter]

The big one. It had like- fins or something.

voice

[coffeeking]

[Ianto sighs audibly]

I'm sure it thinks you're just as strange.

[entrapments]

Hey, way to out the newbie.

[heltersskelter]

How do you know? Maybe it's that thing that's lurking in the ship.

[entrapments]

[ her head drops to one side, the unspoken seriously? hangs in the air. ]

Whatever's lurking in the ship isn't going to just come hang out with us during the jumps all the sudden. It's having way too much fun chatting us up anonymously.

voice;

[redhotsummers]

Dude, people do shit when they are freaked out and in a new situation.

Give the guy a fucking break.

voice;

[heltersskelter]

I didn't hear anyone being that forgiving when it was a human.

voice;

[redhotsummers]

If it's a newcomer I think they get some leeway. Did they kill anyone?

[Alex could have blown up half the ship if he hadn't been used to being 'kidnapped' already.]

Besides, humans are aliens to aliens. It's all about perspective.

[audio] HELLO TATE-ERS MY OLD FRIEND

[notmydiagnosis]

I must have missed it.

[audio] oh.... hi..... u//u

[heltersskelter]

Crane?

voice;

[onteamdyson]

Alien-- what?

Are you okay!?

voice;

[heltersskelter]

No, I'm fine.

[consulting]

Shockingly, we are in space, are you all that surprised that there
are aliens frittering about?

[heltersskelter]

one's that look like that? yes.

voice;

[longevities]

[ this is certainly something to take note of.

Consider Helen extremely interested.]

An alien. [ considering they are in space... ] Do you know how many it injured?

[ A beat.] And a description of the creature, if you would, please.

voice;

[heltersskelter]

Uh- no. I couldn't keep track.

[he didn't care.]

It was- it kind of looked like a giant blue lizard. With fins? It moved pretty quick so I didn't get a look at it's face.

voice

[timekept]

An alien.

We're on a spaceship. Yet you're still surprised?

[ the thought of it injuring people hardly even concerned Raymond. Being his condescending self? That was much more important.

though truth be told, he was still getting used to this entire thing. Being in space, his clock not ticking away the minutes of his life, etc, etc. If he could be dumped onto a spaceship, aliens had to be next, right? ]

voice

[heltersskelter]

No this alien was different. I mean we have aliens on board, but they still look mostly human. [a pause.] Sort of.

[statsraaden]

[Oh, you must mean the whatever that was who's just asked for help on the network. They must be new here, Stats hadn't seen them before. Still, he wouldn't have pointed it out for everyone to know. He wouldn't do that for anyone, and he's definitely not. impressed.]

Yes. And.

[heltersskelter]

I just wanted to make sure everyone was okay.
