Like, it's absurd.
Not to her.

Sometimes bad things happen.
Goodnight, laters.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
He may have said that.
*Shrugs*
<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>
Take me there, I guess.
Did he or did he not?
@Legend
*I receive the coordinates, and adjust the orbit of the Eschatologue to give a view of the place through the transparent window, designed specifically for the purpose. Touching my head, my eye whirrs as it zooms, rendering the ground with impressive detail. Grunting in an unladylike fashion, evidently unhappy with the resolution, I find a telescope before repeating the process. Satisfied, a little disruption in the air appears, an eight foot square window into somewhere else. With its opposite appearing behind me, the rush of adjusting pressure whips at my long, ink-black hair before I step backwards and appear on the surface of the planet, grunting slightly due to the newly-felt gravitational pull. I dust myself off and look around, breathing the terrestrial air with eager lungs. After a few moments of adjustment, I make my way to the front door and rap on it with gloved, metallic knuckles, hips cocked to one side and an anticipatory smile on my face as I wait patiently. Without a sound, the portal closes behind me.*
*Opens the door, expressionless*
Hello?
@Legend
Oh! My vehicle isn't suited for atmospheric travel: I had to cut corners for reliability. Give me coordinates and I should be able to get down to the surface easily enough. If you're subterranean, I'll need to take a short walk down below ground is all.
Certainly. I will transmit the data accordingly; be wary of adverse conditions and knock on the front door before you come in.
*Sends the coordinates tailored to the planet's size*
@Legend
*The smile returns as I relax in the pilot's chair*
I didn't spend too long. I was only there for around 2.382x10^15 cycles of the radiation produced by level transition of an atom with 55 protons and an atomic mass of 133.
*There is a pause, in which I close my eyes to consider*
Wait, why am I using those units? You speak Old Basic. I stayed for about three standard days: I met some archaeologists, sampled their cuisine, and spoke with medium-level bureaucrats. They certainly know I didn't do anything against their local customs, or anything harmful. I paid and left.
*A half smile twitches on my face*
Then feel free to land.
@Legend
It shouldn’t be too long, it's just…
*My fingers fly across the keyboard, epiphany slowly creeping onto my face*
Aha! I have it. The Stellar Principate of Epirra: a nominally independent Class I civilization on the Kardashev scale, I had to register with their obnoxiously arcane bureaucracy. I am sending their full character report and verification, along with their relative position from here if you’re determined to check up on them: they have a remarkable tradition of glasswork. They're not my first choice, I wasn't particularly welcome, but there's evidence for a lack of nefarious intent.
And they know you to some extent personally?
<Snipped quote by Legend>
I think.
<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>
Where'd you last see her, and how long ago was it?
You think?

It's gotten bad.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
That would have led to either: Her being asked to help, or her being attacked, neither of which are huge on her To Do list.

Consistency matters. :/ I needed to know if she was at the base, at the other base, at some random location, etc. in order to keep consistency.
It does, but when David left, she could have left as well.
@Legend
You'll notice I never said it is filled with your kind. Anyways, they're sent. I hope you make a favorable decision: it seems the enthalpy is greater than I thought.
The alternative is that I am the only one of my kind or that there are few. In which case, it would make more sense to transmit it in a format I would accept, rather than my kind. Regardless, I would still appreciate your personal verification if the wait is not abhorrently long.
