The creature looked confused - apparently that was at least to some degree universal. “No, you are Regent.” The possible supposition on there was that the ‘rank’ Melissa had said had translated to another name with him. “Earth. Ground. This home has dirt?” he asked. “Is it near?” That apparently interested him greatly.

“I am R’way. We are four here.” Looking at Melissa again he then said. “Five now.”
- R’way

Melissa smiled catching on that Regent was a rank “Yes, Earth has dirt. It is many light years away from here.” She said “We are explorers and our mission is to meet new species and discover new worlds. ” She added “It is nice to meet you R’Way. I am Melissa.” She said “This is Dr. Blackwell, one of our healers.” She said “This is Private Emerson, one of my staff.” She said speaking to R’Way.

The creature looked excited but evidently had no idea of distance. “Is that far?” he asked, hesitantly.

Blackwell simply gave the man a short curtsy of sheer panic as she didn’t know what was the right way to answer a greeting from a strange alien guard. She decided to let her superior take care of the conversation.

Dr. Grey - CMO

Glancing to Grey then back to Melissa he said, “Will trade for dirt. Need dirt.” There was more of a crowd forming with whispers of ‘dirt’ being spoken about back and forth amongst them. “Can we visit your world? Go with you?” That question brought more and more excitement and inquiries one on top of the other.

Melissa looked at the others “It’s a long way away from here.” She said “You would be welcome to visit, unfortunately we are not scheduled to return to Earth for a long period of time.” She said “I think we might have some dirt or we can get some for our ship.” She said looking at Grey with a nod that she was okay.

OOC: It’s an NE Blackwell not Grey herself.

Blackwell gave the MACO a reassuring smile showing that despite the weird circumstances she was fine, all in all, her first off ship mission was going quite well despite her original misgivings of the idea.

NE. Dr Blackwell

R’way appeared quite excited about the prospect of ‘dirt’. “Would make good trade, yes? Dirt is both a resource .. and currency here. You have dirt, you are wealthy. You have enough dirt you can live.” The large alien looked about him at the growing crowd whose speech went from some curiosity to more wonder at the notion of dirt being available. “Where do you go from here - in this place? What do you see?”
- R’way

“From here or from here on our vessel?” She asked to clarify “Here, we are exploring, learning about the various peoples here. On our vessel…that is up to our orders. I don’t know where we go from here.” She said as she looked around at the growing crowd. “If you will give me a moment, I will contact my Captain and see if they can send over some dirt for you.” She said as she took out her communicator =^=Tafoya to Bonneventure. I need you to transport some dirt to the sphere.=^= She said and waited for a confirming answer.

Before there was a reply there was a sickening lurch that made their stomach’s feel to shift in ways it wasn’t supposed to. It was as though the entire Sphere just shifted, letting ‘go’ and then jerking to a sudden halt. All the species there were caught by surprise. Food flew. Trade items clattered along the ‘street’ as it were. People strove to cling to anything. Most failed and fell. Tafoya ended up under two other aliens while Blackwell found herself tangled in a mass of trinkets and handmade jewelry.

The Sphere bobbed as though trying to find a new ‘hold’ and everyone looked to be holding their breath - all of them in no small way freaked by this. In the background a staticky siren began to sound that echoed poorly through the complex. The trouble was that nobody seemed to know what it was or what was going on.

Melissa righted herself as quickly as she could while helping the two aliens up as well, grabbing her communicator =^=Bonnie, what’s going on? We just felt a lurch and things are toppling.=^= She said as she moved to help Blackwell up and then check on the people that were with them, to make sure that they were not seriously injured. Melissa looked around for R’way as the sirens sounded “What’s going on and how can we help?” She asked once she found him.
