[hr]

While Dr. McKay was talking down Ronon, Narak turned his attention to the Huragok's guards. It was fortunate that they had not fired immediately, as they would have been easily justified to do. He supposed they had been instructed to show some restraint. He stood between the Sangheili major and Ronon, prompting the Sangheili to lower his storm rifle. "These Humans do not understand us, brother. Even if his foolishness had damaged the Huragok, he would not have been able to destroy it before you could slay him. There is no need to complicate this further, and no need to inform the Shipmaster. 

The major gave a long, low growl towards Narak. "If he causes more problems, it will be [i]your[/i] head, Artisan."

"I know it will." Narak replied, soon turning his attention back to McKay. A semblance of peace had returned to the room, but during the entire duration of the confrontation, the Huragok itself had either been blissfully unaware of any danger or entirely uncaring towards it. It simply continued its rapid examination of the Ancient device, from its software down to its physical construction. With its many hundreds of microscopically fine cilia, it could manipulate any part of the device with perfect precision. It had taken it apart entirely and, after a curious look at the power crystal, had already started to re-assemble it by the time McKay had turned away from Ronon. 

"The Huragok can be almost...child-like at times. Even the most proud and stubborn warriors must learn to deal with their eccentricities, for there is [i]nothing[/i] that will change them." Narak explained. He extended his hand out towards Floats, and since the Huragok had satisfied its curiosity, it readily handed over the device to Narak, who then passed it on to McKay completely intact and still in entirely working order. "We are yet to give Floats Easily any tasks. When deprived of purpose, a Huragok can become...bored. If you wish to start learning to understand our technology, perhaps it is time to start questioning it?"

Standing just beside McKay, Narak leaned forward onto the table, bringing his head down close enough that he could whisper effectively to McKay. [i]"You should warn your ally to be much less impulsive, as soon as you can. I think you will find that I am the most tolerant, and most forgiving Sangheili on this vessel. Others will not seek to diffuse conflict; they will rise to meet any challenge."[/i]
