[center][h1][color=Firebrick]Q-T Brackman[/color][/h1][/center]

Q-T was as confused by this bizarre turn of logic regarding honorable death as the captain was. She was quite sure she did not like the fact that this world involved such brutal arrangements however, as it did not bode well for the prospects of peace. 

She didn't have much time to contemplate that however, because she was swiftly put upon by the captain to figure out when the translator would get here.

[color=Firebrick]”Sorry captain, ground force is still a bit a ways away but I’m trying to-”[/color] she was apologizing when she suddenly got a return ping from her frantic unidirectional signaling and her expression brightened [color=Firebrick]”Ah ha. I’ve got a signal from the vanguard captain! Just give me a few moments more and I can set something up”[/color]

N: You read? Everything ok? 

Q: All clear. We’re safe. Just need the translator here 

Q: Or hooked up to this signal, that’d be better

N: I’ll signal the rest of the cavalry that we aren't needed then, and try to find somewhere where we can get a signal. Also glad to not be rushing. This place is a nightmare to ride around in.

N: Also glad you're safe!

Q: thanks Neilsy : )

The shoddy data link signal improved over a few seconds from something that could take their text to something that could take a full data upload, something Q-T immediately rammed the entire recording of her translation down the throat of.

[color=Firebrick]”I’ve started feeding data to the translator, we should start getting results soon”[/color] She happily informed the captain as the upload hummed away, before adding [color=Firebrick]”do you have any orders for the cavalry now that I’ve got them on the line?”[/color] 

Fortunately, the locals seemed to be meeting them halfway anyway by using the dialect the captain already understood, though it was clearly not their own primary one, so the urgency of the initial standoff wasn't quite there anymore. Although things did get a bit more of a personal bent as she started getting examined by several of the adventurers, and getting talked about rather than too which was a bit rude. Then again she hadn’t made any indication that they knew the language of communication. So she decided to enlighten them to that fact.

[color=Firebrick]”Hello. I am Q-T Brackman, a person,”[/color] It felt a bit weird to add that, but it was probably best to make it clear right off the bat in her opinion rather than worry about any confusion or biases they might have regarding her artificial nature [color=Firebrick]”I can answer questions regarding me… if that is permissible captain?”[/color] she said in near perfect medieval Indonesian/Pataliputran.
