Thread: The Landing-Ryax and Moon

Amal laughed a little and nodded as he excitedly bounced around. we have much of this metal, and we can easily get more if we can open trade routes with Aumoria. with who? oh! sorry, we did not know the local name of the planet, so we have taken to calling it Aumoria, which means 'beautiful Blue' in a neighboring language. people looked confused and she giggled. like how French, or Spanish is a neighbor to English. ah! it was just another language that the Ithreans where familiar with. what DO you call this planet? Amal asked suddenly and when he was told the planet was called earth he gave them all strange looks. Earth is a stupid name. AMAL! Alma growled, glaring at her brother. be nice! i am being nice. i refrained from calling them all idiots. she rolled her eyes. ignore him. he's tired and grumpy. we hit turbulence on the way in and he didn't get much sleep the last few earth rotations. days apparently. the other two cats looked very amused, so clearly Amal's rudeness wasn't really a result of lack of sleep, he was just naturally rude. thankfully the humans didn't seam to mind too much. Alma decided to ignore her brother again and nodded to him. it only works on planets with a certain level of technology... she admitted. if they have not found a way to speak to each other miles away, then we can't employ the use of these kinds of translators. the other translators are a complete pain in the ass because we have to actually load the words of the planet into it, and that can take several... she paused, searching for the right words. several earth cycles... years probobly. a clinic? that must be a healers station? she asked, her head tilted a little. i will get Tooth's translator up right away. many of our medications and medicinal technology can branch between species. she admitted with a smile before one of the teenagers hesitantly approached Izrah with an I-Pod and head phones, showing the cat how to use them. soon Izrah was more than content just listening to different music on different donated I-Pods. Alma looked at him and blinked as Amal looked over at Meteo. i can answer that one. he admitted simply. we studied Human's very intently. we have seen your... what are they called? you put them on in a little box, and then the pictures move... Television? yes, we have seen your televisions. Human's are violent, and even you cannot deny it. if we landed in a large... City? we would have been completely overrun. your... leaders? would have taken us, cut us open, experimented on us and taken our ship. there are too many people in your cities, too many to feel safe. he admitted simply. landing in a smaller town was much more practical, and allows for us to have a more personal experience with the peoples of the planet. we set up base here, because a smaller crowd has a less chance of going for blood than a larger one. so they'd chosen a smaller town because they where in less danger that way basically, and because they could more intimately get to know the group of humans they had chosen. besides, if we had landed in a larger city, they might have thought we where trying to invade. Alma admitted as, with a shower of sparks, she finished fixing the third translator, handing it to Tooth who slid the rings into place and smiled at everyone. You can understand me? she sounded like a typical doctor, soft, understanding, and very stern when she had to be. watch me fix this one Meteo, i'll explain how it works. Izrah is pretty content listening to her music right now so i will leave her alone and take the time. she promised, smiling as she spent the next half an hour explaining the metals, how they interacted and everything else. it was like building a personal Wireless connector, only miniaturized and focused.
