*The crowd that starts to gather mumbles and I whisper*
I think we need something flashier. That could be a hunk of junk for all they know.

@Session

Wait... uuum... so just how alien is this culture? Do they understand gold? *I transmit this in your mind via telepathy so as to not alert the public as i pull out a small coin of gold* Or... diamonds? *One very smooth sphere made of highest karat diamond pops up in my hand*

*Elbows you in the ribs*
After you scared everyone with your pranks, eh?

@Session

*Coughs and nearly drops the ingot* Careful... this stuff ain't easy to come by you know? *I was insinuating the platinum bar**I smile cocky* It... uh... takes about two seconds of concentration and all *I whisper to you that last part*

You're on our ship!

@Etcetera

Sheesh, *barely holds a chuckle* hey, my people's federation had beings similar to you among the alliances... they were not this jumpy though... but i digress, i wasn't there when they made first contact. Gotta say, your language is sleek!

Also i can yeet myself in space if it bothers you both THAT much! Ya'll know empty space's my jam!

What do you want with us?

@Etcetera

... uuuh... didn't really intend on coming onboard your ship, but i guess a last minute projection of my being as i was collapsing back there with your... corporal? kinda made me appear in my last conscious link? Unintended. And you are lost, so i take it i'm no longer in your territory anymore?

I wonder if they have some sort of knowledge hub, or record of visitors. Not that the slums here will help us much.

@Session

Good idea *Looks around awkwardly* Yeah... doesn't feel like there's much around here... Here's an idea *Proceeds to pull out a small ingot of platinum* Anybody here wanna have a change in their lifestyle? This should propel you right out of this place if you help us!

*Slams the emergency broadcast button*

@Etcetera

*I chuckle* Man, you gotta love how similar your people are with mine when faced with the unknown... speaking on the unknown... where the heck are we? Just great... i copy myself out just in case i get disected by your military only to find myself... here... *I point out the window of the ship*

<Snipped quote by Gerald 1>

Unfortunately... I do.

@Etcetera

*The door slides open and i come out all covered in all manner of trinkets from the ship's storage as i spit out a piece of confetti* Heya folks! *I seem to speak your people's language all of a sudden.*

*Winces*
I didn't love that. You could warn me next time, you know?

@Session

Wellp... i did as much as i could do within reason so as to avoid hurting people too much... now what?

<Snipped quote by Gerald 1>

How did we even get here? An ephemeral wormhole?

@Etcetera

*you both hear muffled noises in the storage room of the ship*
