[IC] Expedition:Extraterrestrial:Encounter (amorphical X SleepingSilence)

Raargorgathan kept his posture straight with his arms crossed, quick to respond to both inquiries with a critical tone and a shaking head. “I understand your concerns. But my fuel source shouldn’t be a problem for a while. I never go to space unprepared. Besides, the likelihood of finding parts on this barren planet, let alone searching for fuel in a different dimension which seems like a lot of wasted effort. And no, I don’t have the need for vehicles.” He said lightly pointing to the wings suddenly spreading out wide to unleash a dirt cloud behind him. “Think these are just for show? If I wanted to carry you two and take you for a ride, I could easily and probably do it faster than these vehicles you speak of.”

The rest of the specifics of the questions went unanswered for a reason, but it certainly didn’t sound like it was doubt in his words. His boldness went past his grin and left them with the question of do they wish to argue against this? But depending on how well one read somebody, that same confidence might’ve been a little lacking in another explanation that was given. Was the sun turning off and on again really a natural illusion? He sighed and dropped his arms down and casually scratched his side. “Keeping The Ingentis repaired and fueled is solely my responsibility since it’s my vessel, I won’t accept others expending energy when I should do it myself.” He pointed over his shoulder and finished his proposal. “I’ll search the darker area of the land, because it's more likely to be there. You can stay here and guard my ship. If you find that acceptable?”

Ali just tilted her head to the side. Then looked at Bri Who was a wall as far as trying to read her in any meaningful way. "OK." Said Ali. "I'll just be inside and find a room to call quarters and get some rest its been a trying time in this new dimension and I could use some sleep." She walked off around the corner and down the hall until she found a room with any resemblance to a bed. Finding a smallish room with what she would bet were guest quarters for smaller occupants than the captain. Giving a shrug she didnt care at this point and laid down Staring up at the ceiling until she shut her eyes and went to sleep in a short time later.

Bri however watched with a little confusion as Ali just walked off. Turning to the large dragon like creature, "I would like to get a molecular breakdown on the materials used and fuel to have as a reference. It would be a wise choice to find fuel and replacement materials before they become an issue. Especially in a strange dimension we both know little to nothing about. With your permission I will begin an analysis. Then perhaps a few small modifications to the vessels sensors to expand the range and a simple program to alert the bridge when finding the right materials." Bri stood there awaiting his reply. The metal face a blank slate.

Raargorgathan nodded. “Very good. Beds will be to your right, I’ll be sure to alert you if I discover something.” Swaying the corresponding wing toward the ship as he observed her heading back inside. Eventually walking through the same hallway that Ali had originally entered, the strange walls opened up on the starboard side and provided a pathway to a series of doors that each lead to equally small bedrooms. Seeing that a bed large enough for her body was the only amenity in the room, but it was warm and quiet, a suitable space for getting some rest. He faced Bri as it begun making its request, his eyes blinked and shifted to the corner, seemingly pausing to consider his answer. With the blessing of a little insight, one might guess it wouldn’t be a simple yes or no reply.

“Come with me to my control room. I’ll give you a detailed transcript of my fuel source.” He answered in a serious tone before letting out a few chuckles. “But it’s a mixture of so many things, that I wouldn’t be able to replicate it, or tell you how it functions. But the knowledge alone should satisfy you yes?” Then he turned his back to her and crossed his arms. “I’m afraid I won’t permit you to make unnecessary modifications to my vessel. But you probably don’t sleep, correct? So if you wanted to, we could explore the surface together. But I must warn you that it will likely be dreadfully boring...” He glanced over his shoulder and headed up the ramp with a bit of haste. “Let’s not dawdle any further...”

Cut off by the same drastic change of light occurring instantly, enveloping their surroundings in total darkness and staying that way. His response was quick. “Get in.”
