MSNPC Utan Ular: From trail mix to mixed trust

( ROGUE PLANET – Northern hemisphere )
( Inside shuttle )
The storm raged outside, but they’re covered by their transport vessel and for the moment it seemed pretty save. The aliens looked relaxed once they’re inside and Utan felt that their vibrations matched that feeling, what indicated hir that they’re sincere in their attitude.
Utan: As we're here,... Take this :: Utan took a kind of seed from a pocket in hir jacket :: smash it to dust and make the one I incapacitated inhale it. It should bring him up in a minute or two.
The Starfleet officer looked at it, somehow skeptical about it.
Yirah: Thank you. I will keep them in this container until we can have our medical team take a look at them. I want to make sure that it's not something that Maramox is allergic to.
Utan: oO Reasonable Oo
Lystra: If nothing else, we could fly him over to Cade once the storm settles if needs be.
Perax: does anyone want some trail mix? I don’t know if it will agree with your digestion. You might want to scan it first to be safe.
Lystra: Sure, we have plenty.
Kol’Mana: Trail… mix? You eat what you picked up on the roads?
Utan: Is it something vegetal or it includes animal meat to that mix?
Ze prefered if it was vegetal only, but many people eat whatever they have.
Perax: it contains Cashew nuts, pretzels, those wheat crisscrossy things, and a small chocolate candy.
Lystra: They’re a Human snack, from Earth. Called trail mix because it often left a trail behind the person when they were walking. I think.
Kol’Mana: Sounds like a great way to be eaten by a Krantha
Utan nodded at that comment, since Ze had seen it some time ago in an exploration of a wild forest back in their planet.
Utan: From what you said, it doesn’t have animal meat. I might give it a try.
Yirah: Looks like we're going to be here a while.
Lystra: Yep. ::To the Kameryans:: Since we’re going to be stuck here, is there anything you’d like to know about us?
Kol’Mana: I am curious to know what brings you to this place.
Utan: How shall we address you?
Lystra/Perax: response
Yirah: I'm Indrid Yirah. What are your names?
Lystra: Lystra. ::she smiled then realized she should probably include her birth name:: Xal’tress. Lystra Xal’tress. Xal’tress is the name of my birth ship.
Utan: oO She took as name the name of a ship? How weird…Oo
Kol’Mana: You are named after you ship? Interesting. I am Kol’Mana of the clan of Zorn, of the Zinera.
Utan smiled at Kol’Mana, obviously this was strange for her too,… or maybe they’ve spent so much time together…
Utan: Utan Ural. The Ural is the name of my kind, my personal name is Utan.
Perax/Yirah: response
Lystra: Nice to meet you both. I’m Security and Tactical. I’m a protector for our ship. ::she smiled::
Utan looked at Kol’Mana, they’re developing the same role.
Kol’Mana: Security. You protect?
Perax/Yirah: response
Lystra: I’m a Boslic. My people left our home a long time ago to wander the stars because we feel the need to keep moving further and further. So we adopt pieces of other cultures into our own to make it something new.
Utan: I’m Ular and we are part of nature. We respect it and it provides us in return. As we learn from it, we use that to heal others, to make nature grow and to provide in case of need.
T'Seva: =/\= Constitution to Indrid Yirah =/\=
Yirah: Response
T'Seva: =/\= Oh good. Is everyone alright down there? We're finally having a conversation with the Kameryans in orbit. =/\=
Yirah: Response
Kol’Mana: We know, our people said as much.
Utan remained silent as they’re speaking, listening to learn as much as Ze could.
Perax/Yirah/Lystra: response
Kol’Mana: The last creature-people our kind meet called themselves Pak-Leds. They were arrogant.
Utan: Not to mention bad at explaining themselves.
Perax/Yirah/Lystra: response
Kol’Mana: We are not unused to space, but for many years we keep to ourselves. Space is big. It is not hard to avoid others if you try.
Utan: Also, venturing into the open, the unknown, is risky as it could lead dangers to your own land.
Perax/Yirah/Lystra: response
As Ze was given one of those snacks they talked about, at the opening it brought a curious odor. It wasn’t bad, but strange, a mixture of flavours with a somewhat spicy touch. As Utan tasted it with hir tongue, found it quite sweet compared with some of the seeds they used in travel rations.
Suddenly the Starfleet comm devices activated again.
Rajel: =/\= Constitution to Away Teams. We will be sending medical and Science teams to the surface to help the Kameryans with some plant based medical research. You are welcome to volunteer and remain to join the efforts. If you are not, as soon as you are able, please return to the Constitution. If you are injured, please make sure to return for treatment first. Rajel out. =/\=
Lystra/Yirah/Perax: Response
Utan: I’m sure it’s taken care of, but we should call the Fenix ignus to confirm and then we could share more about our reasons to be here.
Kol’Mana: Response
The fact that they’re sending teams and that they knew about their task with the plants says that a level of trust has been achieved, but one can never be too confident with new people, like you don’t instantly trust a wild Prixel Catroar when you find it next to your yard.
