  The situation was tense as everyone awaited an answer but none ever came. However, the tension seemed to die down as Eli spoke on behalf of his rash behaviour. Maybe it was the way he talked or the sound of his voice, but Eli had a bit of a calming effect on those around him. Ironically. 

  When Kiana left the room, only did Gio let out a heavy sigh. He rolled his palm against the base of his neck, closing his eyes in relief as Natazume began to share her deeper thoughts on the matter...

  [b]"But won't that also mean that Aquis let the rest of the world be destroyed?"[/b] He asked absent-mindedly to one of her points, eyes still closed. Only to realize moments later that he might have said something out of place. He snapped to attention, waving his hands hastily in front of him. [b]"I-I mean no offense!"[/b] It was hard keeping his thoughts in check with all that's going on, much less his mouth.

  Resignedly he leaned back on a side of the unopened pod as Natazume's suggested, after grabbing a random wristband from under the screen, [color=003471][i]Roles ...what's the point? What do they want from us? [/i][/color] He stared at the device, arms crossed, twiddling it with one hand as he prodded and poked it with utmost care. Then he glanced at Eli's hands, Natazume's hands, and finally his own. [i][color=003471]Now's not the time to think about that either...[/color][/i]







  It was a while that they waited and honestly the egglike shape only served to remind him of the growing ache in his stomach, he was getting hungry and they would have gone with the others too - had the pod not started beeping out of the blue. Gio backed away from the object, startled, and managed to leap a suprising distance when doing so. Gladly forsaking the comforting warmth that ran along it's metal shell. The beep was soft, almost inaudible, but Gio heard it loud and clear as it came from inside the thing.

  [b]"Something's moving in there."[/b] He grumbled quietly, arms protectively stretched in front of the younger members of their crew. In retrospect, it was probably unneccessary - but one couldn't be too sure. After a few moments, suddenly, the hatch opened, releasing a human male that plopped to the floor with it's hands in a semi-kneeling position.

[quote] [b]Are you here to kill me? 
Who are you? 
Where am I?[/b][/quote]

[i]Why would I ...?[/i]

  Gio looked at the male up and down, eyebrows raised higher with each question flung at them. What caught his attention was the apron he was wearing and the glint of something else metal back in the pod. 

  [b]".......S-sssure."[/b] 

  He replied after Eli had a try at talking the new arrival down, maybe watching his reaction could shed some light on why this person would pressume such a thing.[i] Was he a crimminal on the run? An outlaw? Someone that was a danger to everyone?[/i] It was better to know now than find out later. But then it dawned on him, the growing panic that had long been in the male's eyes, Gio only saw it now.[i] Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...[/i]

  [b]"Your guess is as good as ours."[/b] He paused, thinking of a way to make sense of things that even he was not sure of, into words for this fellow. [b]"The genius loci of this place calls where we arrre, the Flock. -It- claims to have saved us before our world was destroyed 15 years ago? So here you are ...saved."[/b] Then he raised one hand and pointed to the pod behind him.

  [b]"By that thing."[/b]

  [b]"There are OTHERS exploring the ship as we speak."[/b] Gio's tone took a sterner, deeper turn, letting him know that it was not just the three of them if he tried anything funny. 

  [b]"Now, who are you and where do you come from?"[/b] He wanted honest answers, not particularly fond of people who raise their fists at young teenagers or himself. Especially since all three of them were unarmed, save for Natazume's magic, and this fellow had something hidden back there...
