Pioneer, an open world Sci-Fi RP.

[p-sto]

Hidden:

We got to the Pioneer a while ago but Cyril and Zefeer were too distracted talking to do anything about it so I assumed they didn't go in.

[unokitsune]

Aaro kissed him and put her snow back. "I'm so happy about the future, that I can handle the roughness of the present. Still though, Zzruh needs to be dealt with, I doubt he will let me experience happyness. He once killed a Gentlemanly Zandri, not of the Temple but someone of great importance, just because..." Aaro got quite after putting the snow back, "Because he was being nice to me and offered to dance. Ruee tried to stop it, but...the Zandri Uues.. made the mistake in thinking he could best Zzruh. He had a personality simalar to yours, Treemara, with a little timidness of Keema."

Aeris had stood up in the Pioneer, she was hearing a little bit of happening outside, she decided to come outside to the entrance where she saw Cyril and Zefeer. She decided to take a picture of the two, another flash went off as she captured the moment.

[Musicman247]

Hidden:

The whole group was at the door of the Pioneer when the Inquisition ship came down.

"Oh, yes!" Zefeer said. "I would love to see the inside of your ship!"

When the flash went off Zefeer blinked. "Why does she keep doing that?" she asked.

[unokitsune]

Hidden:

I didn't realize that now I do. I thought Zefeer and Cyril were back at the O'Sekra base

"Because I like to take pictures and capture the moments for my log book." Aeris stated. "I noticed you have extrodinary tech..Zee Fear."

[Musicman247]

Zefeer tilted her head at the mispronunciation of her name. "But why does the light come on? Don't your sensors take in enough of the ambient light to get a clear scan?" She approached Aeris. "By the way, it's Zefeer (Zeh-fear), and my tech is my own creation and quite extraordinary, thank you."

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"I've got something over Zzruh though," Treemara smiled, "I have guns and don't have to stick to your honour system."

[p-sto]

Cyril stood by quietly and let the two women talk.

[unokitsune]

"Well first, you're mispronouncing our race name, it's Human not Hooman. Hue like colour and Man like Man. Second it's light for scanning and for flashing, when you scan something you require light that travels in lines and closed circuits, it in turn changes that into data. Further tinkering over the span of Human's life, and some of us are able to do this." Aeris pressed a button and her gizmo sprouted a hologram of some of the many pictures she took. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours!" Aeris stated wanting to examine alien tech. "My name's Aeris, of Planet Earth. Aeris Jamie Galasta, and I do enjoy my tech."

"Zzruh hasn't followed honour for quite awhile. There was a brief time he did so when I was with him though, but now....I fear he might of fallen to his old ways if not become worse." Aaro stated, "If anything that makes him stronger and faster. I can't let you be known to him or he will kill you, Treemara. In fact he'll kill everyone he deems flirty with me in any way." Aaro mentioned.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Well as soon as we let the Inquisition into the Outer Rim, Zzruh is as good as dead," Treemara said.

[Musicman247]

"Thank you for the correction in pronunciation," Zefeer said. "I will transfer it to the Alliance databanks so all members will know how to say 'human'." She pressed the screen on her arm computer then spoke again. "My assumption seems to be correct based on your explanation. Your device's sensors are not sensitive enough to gather the existing light for a recreation." She projected her own holograms, quite a bit sharper and more natural looking than Aeris'. "I could upgrade your device, but I couldn't show you how. Would that be acceptable?"

[unokitsune]

"Zzruh won't be that easy to kill. He...is something of revenge. Always has been. Would you believe me if I told you he wasn't always that way? He was a sweet boy once, sweetiest happiest boy ever. The Ssiren told me when I brought my concerns one time...when I did research of my own. Zzruh's mother was a Prietess." Aaro began.

______

"You're welcome and why couldn't you just show me how?" Aeris asked not liking her tech being touched. However she was fascinated by Zefeer's hologram and almost drooled and went 'Ooooh.' "I'm eager to see more of your tech, I'll even file trade you music and history if you prefer?" She asked.

[Musicman247]

"Technology is the only thing we Heelox have," Zefeer said. "We hold our methods and secrets closely. We can give you tech that will work, but we couldn't show you how it works. I'm sorry if that offends you."

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"I find that difficult to believe," Treemara said.

[unokitsune]

"Hmmm I would like an upgrade..." Aeris thought about that. She thought that perhaps she could figure it out with an upgrade but she didn't want to destroy the tech to find out how. The thought dissapointed Aeris. "Yet my tech is special too, it's the only thing I have as well other than my lazer guns." She took out some Neon sticks and bent them so they would glow, she gave them to Zefeer. "I think these would look so pretty on you."

_____

"Well it's true." Aaro began "You remember what I told you about the Ship that is neither O'Sekra or Zandri in origin but has been with the Zandri since we first emerged from the water? That is the only thing that ties us to making technology. Believe it or not, the Zandri used to use some kind of guns. It happened ages after we emerged to land but agest before today. It made us weak, lead to strife, internal strife as well where village went against village, planet against planet. We have Zandri technicians, their main job is to build and fortify our ships, the guns it has, Ice cannons, etc... But only because through The Knight and our history. They are kept secret from most Zandri as only the temple staff really accept them. They are considered...laughing stock despite being very important to our race. Zzruh's father, Miitu, was one of those engineers. He was once the sweetest, most gentle man, managed to woo a Temple Priestess off her feet. Neela...she was described to be like me, a fighter yet very sweet, but she wasn't like me in being a warrior priestess. She did have a beautiful voice though." Aaro spoke about this begining what sounded like a long story.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
Treemara sat down.

[Musicman247]

"Humans have much more than technology as a species, though," Zefeer said.

The female Heelox took the sticks and began to examine them. "They are nice," she said. "Where should I put them?"

[unokitsune]

"Neela was an unusual Zandri. She was born with almost black skin and white hair though not as pure white as mine. She had yellow eyes as well. I saw a painted portrait of her once, in the Palace. She, like me, got teased and laughed at growing up but that only made her strong. However she was more accepted than I was because she didn't fight psyically, only through wit really. The Ssiren herself would frequent the choirs when Neela lead them, her voice was that beautiful. The Ssiren said with practice that I could sing like her. Neela also had many suitors, but two stood out above the rest. Miitu the Engineer and Yuuet, a very rare Psionic Omega Gene Zandri. The two were closet to Neela and at one point ended their friendship with a duel that wasn't meant to be. They were dueling for Neela's hand in marriage you see, but she ended it when she went in between them and told the both of them that she was already with child, Miitu's. Yuuet was heart broken but didn't fight it and he left never to see Neela again but to hear of the sad fate. Zzruh was born with grey pale skin, grey hair and silver grey eyes. For a short time the family was so happy. It wasn't until Zzruh was six did things change." Aaro began.

"Almost Ten years before the war, in the Spring almost Summer of 2160, Miitu had discovered something on a brand new radar detection system he had been working on for the past two years. It was a blip of some sort but it wasn't a Zandri ship or anywhere in the Zandri System. He had brought it up with his fellow peers, engineers and even the temple. All but the Ssiren laughed at him. He was cast out of the Engineer community and made a laughing stock. Turned to drink and some kind of twisted weed-type drug that I can't give you the name of because I don't know it. He started beating Neela and abusing her, he tried that with Zzruh but Neela would always protect him. Zzruh was closet with his mother, he loved her dearly."

Aaro had to take a deep breath to continue. "I'm sorry, I had promised Zzruh I would never say anything more about his family to anyone, but Treemara I feel confident in confiding in you."

"You can put them on yourself or even make more of them. And this is true, all humans are different. You're only seeing the caucasian ones of Europe and American descent, not of the other humans though. But for me all I have is my tech, like you, Zefeer." Aeris spoke, unsure of why she was opening up. "Besides did you notice that the eletromagnetic pulse that tore apart this ship's hull is lazer in orgin but it doesn't show up on any scanners? It leads me to believe that it's somehow protected by some kind of Geo-Thermal radiation, some kind of natural radiation, so Razzical and unheard of. Something like that could hide a Neurological ElectroMagnetic Onieroscope." Aeris had a dream like look on her face talking about that.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"You can trust me," Treemara said.

[Musicman247]

"Where on myself should they go?" Zefeer asked. "And I mean all humans. Your species. You have much more than the Heelox do."

She didn't think the human girl knew much about energy transmission, or at least their terms. Geothermal radiation meant heat from the planet, and she had never even heard of an Onieroscope before. It sounded like a made-up word. And lasers were focused beams of light, not at all what had come from the planet.

"If I had to guess, I would say it was an electromagnetic pulse canon. The reason it didn't show up on your scanners was probably because it used a low frequency to transmit the pulse, which would dissipate quickly once power was cut. Does that make sense?"

[unokitsune]

"First thing first." Aaro brought out the snow and slowly made more of it as she sung. She then turned them into Ice balls and made a dome around her and Treemara, just to really tick off the Inquistion blocking off where she thought their cameras and recording devices could be. She then quietly said "The Inquistion may be able to track the planet he's on, but even in crazed state, he can avoid them. I know it's going to have to be me in the end to weaken him." She then removed the Ice dome, and glared at the wall she thought a camera and also gave a slight wry smile, as if challenging whoever could be on the other side of the recording divice. She then looked back at Treemara.

"The abuse went on for about three years. It got worse and worse. One day when Zzruh was nine, Miitu got so angry and so violent he grabbed Neela and slammed her into the floor somehow breaking her spinal cord and she began dying there in front of Zzruh. Her last words to him were...'I love you...Zzruh, and I'll always watch over and protect you.' Zzruh, to save her from her pain and to put her out of her misery so she wouldn't die their in pain slowly, he killed her in an act of Mercy."

Aaro wrapped her arms around herself, "That was the moment he changed. He sang a song, his weapon, A Scythe, large even for him back then. He at first impalled his father with an Ice spike so Zzruh could have his final moments with his mother. After Zzruh killed his motehr to save her, he then cut Miitu, his father in half. Went on a killing spree after that, mostly it was those who abuse their wives and their children. It got so bad that The Ssiren herself tried to save him, but Zzruh refused all help even from the temple and its leaders, and he got really good at killing. He got strong and he got fast. I'm not sure at what point in his life his Omega Gene manifested but it was after he turned 14. His ability, it's scary. He's strong without it, but he can use his ability to get people to kill each other. Even Zandri sung weapons are no match for this, their weapons turn on their singers you see."

Aaro looked at Treemara "I'm not sure if you believe me but normally Omega gened people have headaches from first using their ability, Zzruh didn't but he was rough at it. The Ssiren had him flown to Heesora where he would meet his mentor...Yuuet, his own mother's lover but Zzruh didn't know that at the time. Yuuet had become soft and too kind, he treated Zzruh like a son despite Zzruh's protest. Zzruh always valued strength and fighting, Yuuet didn't like to fight. Those two had personality clashes quite a bit."

Aaro walked a bit and looked up to the ceiling like there was supposed to be something there before she looked at the ground. "Zzruh's training, his apprenticeship lasted only two years. Yuuet had...made a terrible mistake. Yuuet, in his last ditch effort to try to get Zzruh to turn around his life for the better told him about the time he had loved Zzruh's mother, Neela, that he wanted to marry her but didn't have the courage to stand up to Miito, despite Yuuet having the ability to read minds and control thoughts. Yuuet's greatest mistake was telling Zzruh that he knew of Miito's abuse to Neela, but didn't have the courage to stop it."

Aaro looked down then up at Treemara, "What happend next was that Zzruh didn't give Yuuet the chance. He killed Yuuet, used his scyte to cut the man in half. Yuuet's body was cut up into several pieces and fed to the fish. His head was thrown for the Ssyanarot to eat, but it was found by temple guards and hunters instead. Zzruh was finally in the process of sentencing at that point, but the day of his sentence and execution...was interrupted when the War began. He had protected me and saved my life in more than one part in my life you see. I think...I think I was his rock his link to reality. I was 16 when I tried to investigate him, to know him and understand him better. He almost killed me until he figured out who I was. He's killed others who interfered, except for The Ssiren, Zzruh holds respect for her you see, his mother always talked about her and good of temple life."

"I didn't want to hurt Zzruh, so I never told him I was and am a Priestess, he just assumed I wore those robes for the simple fact that I respected The Ssiren to, and I do. She was the one that told me the rest of the tale Zzruh wouldn't let me know. I fear with my betrayel of him...something that has been building up for years...Has led him back to his Dark days, but worse. The day we got seperated, the day I was captured...I saw him holding a ring. There was a rumour going around, I'm not sure if I believe it myself. Treemara I think he was going to propose to me...something happened betweeen us that he was acting weird...nicer...But my heart was already breaking...And then You and Keema came..."

"Yes that actually does. Hmm you have some very fancy shiny tech. As for the Neon, it can go whereever I guess. It glows in the dark and is shiny, I think it's Razzical. I have much to learn about this tech and the correct terms." Aeris felt stupid for once in her life, she was smart on Earth but Alien life has just turned all she knew upside down.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Imagine how different it would be if you hadn't been captured," Treemara sighed.

[unokitsune]

"Imagine how it would of been had you not showed me you cared about me. When Black Eye..Treene or whatever his name was came...to interogate me. The last words I called out before I passed out, was you Treemara. If you and Keema hadn't showed me kindness and caring that I hadn't seen in so long...I would probably still be on the enemy side by now, by his side" Aaro spoke. "I remeber I was looking at a Wedding cataloge, Zandri orgin you see. I wanted to know about marriage, something I don't know much about because I never got the chance to learn it other than it's different depending on what Zandri you were. Zzruh...had me get rid of it and destroy it, despite teh fact I had drawn a picture inside and coloured it with Zzruh and I. I threw it into the fire, Zandri fire, and... it was kind of the begining of the end for us at least in my eyes. I was so mad, so hurt, so angry, I threw the pelt down on the floor and just locked myself away crying. When I came back later there was no ash other than the ash already there. The book was gone. That's when Zzruh somewhat changed, but it was....too late I guess. This was two days before I was captured. I remember that day, before we landed on Hyati, I saw him briefly polish a ring yet he hid it from me, told me that there was something he wanted to talk to me about after the mission...and some bomb is what flipped my life upside down." Aaro fell to the floor, as if a huge weight was lifted, something she had been holding back.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"And we would all still be on that damned cold world," Treemara replied.

[unokitsune]

"If not for Keema, and definatly if not for you, Treemara, we still would be." Aaro went over to him. "You took a chance with a wild Zandri that everyone wished to kill, but you..." She fell by his knees then and put her hands into his lap. She leaned on his legs. "You knew I was the enemy but yet...you cared. I couldn't wrap myself around it, and you slowly mended a broken heart and you put up with a broken emotional mind."

She paused for a moment "I like cold..."

[Justice knight]

Aaro
Treemara rubbed his back.
"Yeah sorry, force of habit."
