Re: Unknown Pegasus Galaxy Planet
There was a brief moment where everything seemed to pause, a visible struggle going on inside the two shared minds before there was a sigh.
"That's part of the problem. The fuckers time travel, so now is relative so to speak. In theory, since we don't exactly know how they do it, they could technically wipe out this crew millions of years ago, go home and then jump back in time to meet us here and wipe us out, and while millions of years have passed here, from their perspective only moments have passed. And this shit gives me a headache just trying to think about it, let alone explain it."
He began working at the console, but suddenly in the middle of it paused.
"Actually ... now that I think of it ... theoretically that also mean whoever they took as prisoner could still be alive. Which for them, is unfortunate, cold as that may sound."
He started to work again, sighing.
"Something you have to understand with this species. They take only female prisoners, keep them as personal breeders. They're big, incredibly strong, and damn hard to kill. Best that we've been able to tell, they come from somewhere in the future. So you can perhaps begin to understand the hatred I have towards a species who forcefully uses the women of other races to be essentially sex slaves."
Again he went silent, continuing to work on the console, though the two women might get the impression there was far more to his hatred for them than he'd told them. Something deeply personal.
He withdrew a small crystal looking device, connecting it to the machine. Clearly he was downloading the contents. Meanwhile, he moved over to one of the power distributors, another device seeming to simply appear from thin air in his hands. Quickly he connected it, a faint hum of power audible as some of the systems came back online slowly. He started to reach for one of the controls, then suddenly stopped and took a step back.
"Wait a second ... do either of you find it a bit odd that if Jack failed to destroy the ship and the technology in it that the Klarnell would leave it out like this for anyone to find? I find it odd they'd go to the trouble of slaughtering most of the crew, shooting the ship down and then seemingly taking none of the technology that drew them here. This ship seems to be more like your own from the way you both navigated it without issue ... Mind helping me to run some diagnostics to make sure nothing got booby trapped to blow up if it were re-activated, or trip some kind of alarm?"
