Meanwhile the larger ship from the Sphere City loomed larger as it approached, and, with a practiced efficiency lowered a docking tube that latched onto the Dal port. Three came through the open port. One was evidently a bodyguard - a being not seen before. Much more lizard like in appearance, it was thick and muscled by comparison to those of the Dal and related clans. It would be equal in mass as a Crewman of the Bonnie though. The two others were similar to Dal only looking better fed and dressed. The one in the lead looked officious with a thick glittering metal necklace that ran down past its chest and also carried a dark wooden carved staff. The second was similar less the decorations.

Seeing the crew he looked taken aback, but recovered. “I am Naro Kis. Who is Bona Ven Tur? Where is you kingdom?”

No longer filling needed, Naomi took a step back from the console. Her eyes drifted to the crew working with the aliens and finding a sense of relief filled her. Things were looking up rather down, showing her the difference they all made. At least from her point of view. Naomi exhaled while she casually monitored the engine’s status. She hoped things would hold for now.

Baumann motioned for T’Leia and stepped forward. “Naro Kis. I am Commander Wulf Baumann. This is Commander T’Leia. We are from the SS Bonaventure, a ship just outside of your home.” Baumann spoke somewhat slowly and evenly to allow for accurate translation as needed. “We responded to a distress call that seems to have come from Clan Dal. We wish to assist them, and indeed all who live here, as we can. We would like to invite you and one other from your delegation to come aboard our vessel to discuss how best we can lend aid.”

Naro Kis took this in, round eyes not so much narrowing as simply growing smaller as he thought or took it in. Turning to the other with him he said, “My subordinate, Gor Jen.” He did not introduce the bodyguard. “I know little about any of this but that your vessel is not from here, or if it is, is superior. We do raid to live and in turn are raided by others. We have known for generations that we are doomed. We are all enemies here, us and any others. And fellow prisoners. We will talk.”

Baumann cocked his head to the side slightly and said “Prisoners? Of whom? And why?”

Baumann, XO

Naro Kis seemed to show some frustration; likely at the understanding. “Here. This place. All under the Great Eye. All doomed to be one with the Eye. Now as death comes. Soon as we live. The machines fail. When they fail we die. They will fail soon. We are prisoners in our own home.”
