"Easier to speak than to do, as a warrior you know this," the Chieftain spoke plainly, "No way to contact, no way to reach stars where travelers come from. Last visitors have many brilliant things, things we never could dream of having. Tools to cook food, weaponry excellent at fending off beasts. But we don't possess anything like those, we are too... Too..." He couldn't think of a word beside 'lesser' and that wasn't remotely what he wanted to say. Otherworldly machines and tools didn't make a warrior powerful, it was the way one honed their body, mind and spirit. So they were not lesser, they just didn't live as others did. Hearing their battling the Dark Ones would be moot stung the pride quite a lot, they had never backed down from an enemy. They had even managed to "kill" one of the beasts before, albeit with casualties, so it wasn't as though they were utterly powerless. "Even if we wish to seek help outside, other communities not as open. Others too prideful, some too cautious. We are one of but a few who have had travelers... Or, had travelers and not try to kill. We understand you are not enemy but others will not, may never. It is why we cannot unite, and why we cannot be among the stars."

All things told Takeshi had managed to get out of there relatively unharmed and without Yumi mauling him. Of course that might change when she saw just how banged up Viral was though it wasn't like he had any life threatening injuries. Rather than dart off as quickly as he had this time he slowed himself along with the others, the natives taking the lead to make sure they got back. The sun was now well out of view and with it the dull glow they had used to navigate earlier, nothing but the moon high above giving faint illumination to the expanse beneath them. Good thing they had the guides as otherwise they were in large flying in the dark at the moment. Almost not even seeing T'charrl come up alongside him, jumping slightly in mid-air before smiling sheepishly at his own idiotic reaction. "Not exactly... Know those plateaus we've seen all over the place? Their village is kinda at the bottom of one, and they built on the side of it too. Hard to see from up above, you know? We probably passed over a couple on our way out here." Which had to make him wonder just how many of their kind knew about their arrival? The last thing Takeshi was wanting was for a crowd of these bug people to start showing up, the very idea got his skin crawling.

"H-Hey T'charrl... These people, they're uh... They're like you," Haku pointed out, smiling nervously as he looked at the backs of the scouts. "I mean they're... Bug people, right? Maybe... Maybe your people and theirs should try and uh... I don't know, be friends? Allies?" He had never seen people like T'charrl's until he met his friend and, far as he knew, this was the first time T'charrl had any seen others either. It must be nice seeing someone that was more similar to you though after being surrounded by humans and Saiyans for so long. If these people didn't exist apparently, or no one knew about them, would they be able to do that though? He had been on worlds before where they didn't have space travel and it always seemed odd, it was such a common thing to him all of his life and not having it... Well it was just strange. "M-Maybe... We should try helping these people? I mean wouldn't that be kind of cool? Y-You could... Uh... Kind of be an ambassador or something."
