Are you sure? I don't want to pressure you into something you don't want to do.

@Memory

It’s fine, I’m used to these scenarios.

Alright, hopefully it won't be too unnerving. Are you going to treat the wounded?

Yes?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Yes?

@Spiritblitz

*Nods*
That sounds good to me.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Yes, that. That entity happens to be part of my lab defense system, and is currently to blame for siphoning a majority of my excess magic and slowing my recovery. I've been tracking its behavioral patterns insofar as I can under these circumstances.

@System

Name a more perfect duo than artificial intelligence and going rogue.

Interestingly, that entity is only semi-artificial. You could almost consider it a clone.

*Stands up*
Feel free to spend as much time in my village as you like, at least. Good luck finding your teacher.
*I turn and walk out of the room*

@Audacious

Whelp.
*turns to Zoey*
What now?

In an indirect sense, you could say the cube is at fault here.

@Memory

*I look at you gobsmacked and almost cross-eyed due to confusion and concern, then i grab the cube and start intently gazing into it*

I KNEW you had more shit up your sleeve... are you pulling other people from their times and worlds like you did me?

*It truly is a comic display what i'm doing, because obviously the thing is not even acting as if i exist or anything... it may be an enigma but it's still a cube of quartz-like material... what in the 9 heavens is an object going to say, not that the commander isn't approaching me with equal curiosity*

Commander Greyson: So... tell me more...

*i turn to him with an awkward chuckle* Ih... eh... you and me both sir, this thing is just as much as an enigma to me as it is to anybody else... but i wouldn't be surprised if it suddenly started pulling more people from other realities and timezones if it did me...

@Shadrack Nor

I think for now, we're safe. But you have new participants, sir.

@Memory

Commander Greyson: Sure thing, let me just get my notebook where i write how people manifesting out of the void are going to be accepted into a HIGHLY dangerous mission against maniacs... Yeah in your dreams! Explain yourselves

*He evidently did not trust the new arrivals in fact his demeanour gives more suspicious defensiveness than anybody*

Soldier Boy: I gotta say Prism... like this doesn't sound good, nor does it look good. Think if you were a highly medalled and ranking officer of a pretty big deal of military branch in any country but especially one as big as The Terran Dominion, that granted, they do have teleporting tech, but don't suddenly expect new people to just pop in out of the blue and especially in enemy territory where this was supposed to be a stealthy mission... I vouched for Misty and you, because we met just a few hours before my mission began, but these two new people, i have no idea where they came from, no way of evaluating their trustworthiness...

I may be impressed, but with such a big gap in our understanding, these two new people look like potential enemies...

@Shadrack Nor

I recognize that, but... what's the alternative?

*Commander Greyson rubs his temple*

Commander Greyson: Explain yourselves... means to explain... fuck you know what?... *He sighs wearily* Okay, you want to join, you might as well, it's not like we can leave you here where there barely is even an atmosphere, but you will be under intense scruitny, i see you pull ONE wrong move and i'll shoot these two without hesitation MYSELF... then Benjamin will have to face some disciplinary actions for chosing to invite suspicious people on a secure mission like this... not that i'm not thinking on putting him in the brig for the next 4 months!

Soldier Boy: *I just gulp at that last statement*

January MacClay: So what are we doing commander?

Commander Greyson: Just show them to the equipment locker like you did these other two... we'll deal with this after the mission... *He sighs wearily*

January MacClay: Aaalright... right down this way new mysterious people...
*She directs you but she intently scans you for any suspicious body language*

I’m fine.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*I approach you contemplatively*

Nope... as crazy as it sounds even to me, these are fairly basic equipment, sure it may...

*The i realize*

How familiar are you with the concept of technology? When i first asked you, you said you are familiar with boats, horses and sails and such... it seem like you come from the middle ages or somethin'

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*January MacClay approaches you encouragingly*

January MacClay: Go for it, which one do you fancy? They are all basically the same in abilities, but what's fancy about it is...

*She presses a small button on a wrist pad and the whole armour changes and becomes more flexible and adopts a purplish hue, then she shifts a circle on the pad and it adds incandescent red hues, then she presses another button, returns to the original shape and this time it is all entirely pitch black*

January MacClay: You can basically customize how you want it to look and which defence settings to be more prominent over others...

@Shadrack Nor

*Makes an "ooh" face and runs the fabric of the black one through my fingers, which supernaturally whips around me and morphs onto my skin in the form of a black hoodie*

@Etcetera

I like the outfit. What kinds of weapons are we facing?

Commander Greyson: As in the enemy or what equipment are we offering you?

Well i guess it's time for the preparations before teleporting to the action, well in case you are wandering what we are offering you, it's what your guardian angel already has equipped. An armor that can defend you from high intensity kinetic and energy blasts plus has a powerful anti-psyonic shielding to prevent any mind or emotion intrusions as these particular pirates are infamous for doing... Weapons for you, you said you are a pacifist but i gues why not...

*He opens the door to the ship's armoury*



Commander Greyson: Alright, listen up! This here's the armory, your one-stop shop for all your ass-kickin' needs. Now, pay attention as I go through the options. We ain't got time for dilly-dallyin', and those pirates won't be waitin' for us to pick out our favorite color.

First up, we've got the M-99 'Pulsefire.' This baby's a standard issue carbine, but don't let that fool ya. It's got a rapid-fire mode that'll turn anythin' in front of you into swiss cheese. And the best part? Each bullet's got a little plasma punch to it, so you can fry circuits and flesh alike.

Next, we've got the E-11 'Shockwave.' This bad boy's got a shorter range, but it packs a helluva punch. It fires electric pulses that'll scramble a target's nervous system and leave 'em twitchin' on the ground. Perfect for close-quarters combat or when you want to make a statement.

Now, if you're lookin' for somethin' a little more versatile, we've got the P-22 'Plasma Caster.' This one's got a switchable firing mode. You can either spray plasma bolts like it's goin' out of style or charge up a shot for a concentrated blast that'll melt through armor like butter.

And finally, we've got the 'Healer.' This one's a bit different. It doesn't fire bullets or plasma. Instead, it shoots out a concentrated beam of energy that can heal wounds, repair damaged tissue, and even bring someone back from the brink of death. Every squad needs a medic, and this is the best damn medic you could ask for.

All these weapons are powered by the same energy source that keeps this ship runnin', so you can bet your ass they're more powerful than anythin' you've ever seen before. They've got a little somethin' extra in 'em, a little kick that'll give you the edge you need to survive out there.

Pick any or use whatever you've got, i know my crew already is in here equipping some and Soldier Boy is a weapon onto himself, so yeah...

@System

Artificial enough.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

@Zealz

I dunno. We’ve met a lot less resistance to being here than I thought we would. Might be worthwhile to do an excursion through nature though! Have a little adventure!

@Valiance

In any case, between the prime directive and the ongoing deterioration of its memory, it will continue to grow more dangerous to all of your companions.

@Shadrack Nor

Is there any reason you wouldn't be able to use the healer on yourself? It sounds like you could almost make yourself near-invincible.
