[So, Wing's been quiet lately, after his angst attack.]

[But he's got a project now, kind of. Or at least, a question.]

Those of you who are scientists, is there any possibility you could find a way to locate a certain chemical compound?

Comments

[tailless]

I am no scientist, but I have learned to scrounge here.

[knightoflight]

Anything might be useful.

[He pauses.]

Would you have spotted, in your explorations, a good spot where we may evacuate some of the ship's members to? I cannot tell what it suitable living conditions for your kinds.

[tailless]

The same as any other race's.

I have been... looking for supplies.

[He pauses himself, thinking. He doesn't trust the network, and knows it's not secure.]

This is a conversation we should have in person.

[knightoflight]

I am unfamiliar with any organic race, I'm afraid.

[He blinks, taking himself to task a bit for not having thought of that. Again. He's lived so long without need for comm security it was a foreign thing.]

Yes. [He hopes that means Vegeta has found something.] Whenever is convenient.

[tailless]

I... see.

[He hasn't found anything yet, but the more people, the easier it will be to accomplish the task he has in mind.]

Meet me outside the ship's entrance.

[knightoflight]

It seems fair: many organics seem entirely confused by my kind.

[Or called him a toaster, or thought he was going to take over the world....]

All right. [He starts moving to the ship's entrance.]

Action?

[tailless]

[Though he's never actually come across something like Wing before, he's not worried, and he starts to head towards the same way.]

I'll meet you there.

Action

[knightoflight]

[Wing remembers how distressed Vegeta was when he'd gotten collared. That meant that they at least had a common cause, a common enemy. That was enough for trust.]

[He is waiting for the other to arrive, passing the time by using his small plasma blades, moving them through a sequence of slashes and parries. He's so caught up he doesn't notice the other arrive.]

Action

[tailless]

[He watches with interest, not speaking for a moment. When he does, it's patient, but tense.]

I haven't found much, but I have a plan.

Action

[knightoflight]

Anything would be a help if it helps us survive.

Action

[tailless]

We need to create a scavenging party. In order to look for better shelter and possible supplies, a group of us will need to leave, probably for several days.

Action

[knightoflight]

[He nods.]

You need communication--a way for this party to keep in touch, if they need help, or supplies, as well.

Action

[tailless]

Some sort of code would be useful. Something that sounds like something other than what it actually is.

...I'm no good at that, though.

Action

[knightoflight]

[Wing gives a nervous laugh.] You're right. I am no good with this sort of thing. Perhaps Kara Thrace or Agent K or one of the human soldiers would be better able to advise?

[Because Wing can come up with a series of mechanical codes, but he's not sure how a human might replicate them.]

Action

[tailless]

[He nods.]

I shall have to discuss coming up with a code for them. It'll keep things from looking too suspicious.
