Welcome to Gaia! ::

"My balance is not what troubles me, however I appreciate it nonetheless..." Extending a hand, I grasped the vial from her which contained the orange concoction. Uncertain of its contents, I swirled it about a bit; holding it slightly underneath my nostrils as I sniffed it about. It burned; making me flinch at its potent stench.

Allowing my wariness get the better of me once more, I placed it upon a crate beside me. Looking back towards her, I stared at her--somewhat able to make a bit clearer picture. Thought still hazy, I could see a red light beaming horizontally across her face. There was no structure otherwise for a nose or mouth--not even for ears. Her body remained stilled and lifeless--almost like a mannequin. "...You're not human, are you?"

Myke had stopped and returned back to the rest of the group upon realizing that Sam wasnt really sam....A chameleon on the ship would be interesting, not to mention Fun at times.....There could even be TWO Myke Spyders at one time. A concept that in of itself would more than likely cause the universe to explode from the sheer awesomeness of its own preposterity.

"Nutrients, in an easily digestible form." She explained of the concoction but let it slide as Sun Kang set it to the side. She had no interest in forcing anyone whether it help them or not.

The mechanical suit made some soft whirring noises, as Lia smiled behind the helmet covering her head. It was the only movement she made, the rest of her maintaining the mannequin like stillness. "I am, and I am not. Human is such a loose term these days. If you are referring to the machinery, consider it a straight jacket, or very large chains."

"The Kore is worried about a ship of cons with loose tongues. Take it as you wish, Jarred. At the moment, my focus is getting off this ship alive...I'm taking things one step at a time, but that was my initial goal in a nutshell, yes."

(Pendari is not in the prison)

"It's a containment suit." Lia corrected. The mechanical suit was sparse, leaving large amounts of the woman's pale skin bare to the eye beneath wires, tubes, a pelvic and chest base, and large metallic bonds. "Any large amount of stress, physical or mental, is interpreted as an escape attempt and will result in the suit shutting off life support, locking down, or simply giving me a warning shock. That is why I so resemble an android, and in some ways have become one."

The suit beeped as Lia chuckled. "Nutrients come by way of capsules placed into a compartment of the suit, which involves a feeding tube connected to my system. There are other basic functions, but they are a little less appealing for casual conversation."

She took the orange vial and gently placed it back on the counter. "There is no need to apologize. Here there are few you can trust, and none that you should."

"If I knew where the other cards were, Jarred, I wouldn't be so upset about losing mine." Pen's voice was slightly sharp, "of course you aren't going to let me kill everyone. I've known that the moment I saw you on the ship, but it's not going to stop them from dying, even if I'm not the one to kill them."

There was complete silence on the other end for a few minutes, before Pendari spoke in a hushed voice. "I will get back to you on that." The connection cut out immediatley.

(*dies laughing* now that's what I call a beautifully literate post.)

"You are going to get me killed, Jarred." Pendari muttered under her breath as she walked down the hallway. She turned to the orb. "Start blasting the cameras, and stop the sound if you can." She kept an eye out of who and what was in the hallway, a deep chill falling down her spine.
