[Lilith isn't one for long broadcasts and there isn't much of a delay between her communicator turning on and her speaking.]

I'll keep this short. I know there's some non-humans around here and people from thousands of years before I am. Has anyone heard of Eridians? Where I'm from, all we seem to have left of them are their glowing ruins and treasure.

I'll even take information about eridium or Sirens, if anyone has heard of those.

[jilt]

I've heard of sirens, but perhaps not the type you're inquiring after.

[supfirehawk]

I'm guessing they don't have blue tattoos.

[jilt]

No, not that I'd ever seen. But they'd only ever been pictures in books, you see. They're more legend than anything else.

[supfirehawk]

We're not really common where I'm from, either. [A fact she is clearly proud of.]

[jilt]

We?

[audio]

[blightphoenix]

Somehow I doubt anyone here's heard of Sirens.

[She pauses.]

Is there a library somewhere on this ship?

[audio]

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, but I haven't seen anything useful in it.

[audio]

[blightphoenix]

Really?

Huh. Maybe it's still worth checking out. Where is it, exactly?

[audio]

[supfirehawk]

They're by the rooms. They keep a lot of it stored on datapads.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

You left out the part where the only other thing left of them is the monsters they left layin' around for us to find later.

voice

[supfirehawk]

I didn't feel like trying to describe what those looked like.

[idkmybffbloodwing]

Well, maybe someone here's run into somethin' like that, though. Big ugly aliens locked up by other aliens? Don't have to describe how they look for people to have seen somethin' similar.

Though it wouldn't surprise me too much if more than one alien civilization has done that before.

[supfirehawk]

I'll save it as my follow-up question if anyone has any leads.

[idkmybffjessie]

Can't say I've heard of them, but the glowing ruins bit sounds familiar. What're they like?

audio;

[supfirehawk]

What's left of them is a lot of broken, stone arches with glowing, blue etches.

audio;

[idkmybffjessie]

They do anything if you get too close?

audio;

[supfirehawk]

No, they don't move or anything. Do you have ruins that do?

I'm also from the far future of most of the passengers aboard, but I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about.

Do these Eridians and Sirens have any other names? I may recognize them as something else...

Voice |

[supfirehawk]

Those are their official names. Sirens get called witches or goddesses, among other things, but that's about it.

Voice |

[watashinonamaewa]

I still don't recognize them. Sorry.

[ ... ]

What are they?

Voice |

[supfirehawk]

Sirens or Eridians?

[purrfectlycute]

I'm a non-human! Not sure if I'm from thousands of years befur or after you, let alone if I'm furmiliar with your universe, so I'm afuraid I don't know how much help I'll be.

I've heard of an Eridan, but... somehow I doubt that's what you're talking about. Unfurtunately I'm not an expurrt on ruins either. I have a furiend who is, though, so if she ever arrives on board I'll point her in your direction.

( audio )

[supfirehawk]

I appreciate the help. If you're not human, then what are you and Eridan?

[ Since this woman seems more curious about other species than disturbed, Nepeta decides it's safe to show her (grey) face and sharp-toothed smile to the camera. ]

We're trolls! Not the kind from stories that eat humans or live under bridges or any silly stuff like that. It's surpurrising how many worlds have legends about us that are completely inaccurate!

video!

[supfirehawk]

[She decides she might as well switch on over to video, too. A face for a face, after all!]

Yeah, I've been getting that kind of reaction when I tell people here I'm a Siren.
