[BACKSIM] MSNPC Kol'Mana Zorn - This Is Good
Jamie LeBlanc
((Runabout Interior, forward compartment, Peekaboo))
These people lived in space, more than Kameryans lived in space. They traveled and made homes in ships. Kol’Mana did not mind ships, but she preferred to have her feet on the ground. It made her feel more stable.
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.
See? As different as the Ular and the Zinera were, they were both still Kameryans and thought the same in broad strokes. Kol’Mana felt she was very profound for thinking such.
Perax: I think the Ferengi have a rule about risk. ::he said thoughtfully::
Lystra: True! But if I’ve learned anything is that planets are just as, if not more dangerous than space sometimes. So, if there’s always danger why not explore?
Yirah: response
There was that voice again. That was a captain voice. N’Bel had it, too.
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. =/\=
Perax: Hey! That was a clear transmission! :: he paused, considering the message a moment:: If staying is optional, I think I would prefer to return to the Constitution.
Lystra: I don’t blame you. I’d rather get back to the ship too, but I’m already here and as long as there’s people here they’ll need protectors watching over them.
She tapped her chest.
Kol’Mana: I protect. That is my sworn duty.
Yirah: 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.
She looked towards Utan.
Kol’Mana: We should. And make sure nothing bad has happened to Avoo’na and Jin’Tauri.
Kol’Mana was quite friendly with Avoo’na, she found the young Pertyr to be adventurous and intriguing. Kol’Mana enjoyed swapping tales. She wasn’t as fond of Jin’Tauri. The dour Noram was good at dousing fun and they didn’t even get cajoled into drinking firewine.
But both were her charges and she was concerned about both of them, even if she would be fine if Jin’Tauri stayed safely on a homeworld next expedition.
Perax: I’d definitely still be interested in hearing how you came to be here.
Lystra: Do whatever you need to to feel safe with us. ::to Utan:: I’d do the same.
Yirah/Utan: response
She turned towards Utan.
Kol’Mana: You are correct. You do what you need to do and I keep you safe. This is the way of things.
Perax: Does anyone know what happened to that bird? You know, the one with eyestocks?
Lystra: Uh….found it. I guess it likes our rations.
She turned to see one of the creatures that had been transplanted to the world peering out.
Kol’Mana: Sorinca. That is the name of it.
Yirah/Utan/Perax: response
Lystra: Well, too late now. We can’t risk opening the ramp in this storm. I guess we have another guest. I don’t suppose either of you two know what these birds like to eat normally?
Kol’Mana: Hard plant matter, root matter, high nutrient density, and carcasses. It does not hunt well, it scavenges.
Basically nuts, seeds, roots and dead flesh.
Yirah/Utan/Perax: response
Lystra: Well, as long as it’s docile I don’t see a reason for concern. A good opportunity to study it up close I guess. We’ve got the time.
She chuckled at the creature-people.
Kol’Mana: It can eat seven times its body weight in a cycle. You are doomed, t’gon. Now it will never leave you and it will eat everything you have.
Her father used to call her a baby sorinca, because as a child Kol’Mana had a habit of eating everything not nailed down. But she grew up big and strong and nobody complained.
Yirah/Utan/Perax: response
She rose as the storm died.
Kol’Mana: Come, Utan, we must check with the others and gather ourselves.
Utan: ?
And with that they parted ways with the odd people. What a strange occurrence. And yet everyone was still standing. That was good, right?
She believed it was good.
