[sb118-khitomer] MSNPC Technological Lead Vidya - Prepare Designation MG - 554 - 614 For The Probe.

Rana: Tell us whose orders you follow.
Matthews: :: Staring straight ahead :: MG - 554 - 614
Vidya was not easily puzzled or confused. She was genuinely good at her job. Figuring things out as the lead technological of advancement was a part of her job. She would figure out how to communicate with the male or discard or prepare the male for incubation as Rana wished.
Rana: Fascinating. Vidya, what do you make of these phrases?
Vidya turned her attention to her Captain as she began speaking. She spoke as though the male was not there or beneath her. It mattered little to Vidya. She refused to speak with it unless spoken to by the male in a conversation they could understand or unless permitted by Rana.
Vidya: I first concluded that the technological was malfunctioning, indicating a miscommunication between us, however scans did not indicate any such inactive technological activity from our end or the male’s.
Rana: A unique form of male communication, then?
Anything was possible with a male of unknown species, especially ones who were ‘bonded’ to their females and were allowed to speak without any form of discipline. The problem was, they didn’t have any frame of reference for it to work off.
Vidya: We would have first heard such words from the bonded male on their ship. The meaning of such odd combinations of symbol script is unaware of myself. If such communication is improbable, shall I discard the male, prepare the male for the incubation or consider other options?
Rana: Scan him, Vidya. Find a way to see if he fits any potential options, since he seems incapable of communication. Do not discard him yet--his ship may require his presence, or take offense. Perhaps he is one of their 'bonded' males.
The Captain had spoken. She understood just as Vidya, that these ‘bonded’ males were most troubling. If they were important to this alien vessel, there was no telling what they would do to get them back. Thankfully Rana would be giving her time to complete her scans.
Vidya: My Captain. ::Bowing:: It is decided then.
Rana: If you find anything, keep me updated. If he speaks in a way that makes sense, see if you can ::click of disgust:: reason with him.
Reason? With a male? She scoffed at such a notion. There was no reasoning or compromising with a male. They either complied as instructed without objections or they were discarded or prepared for incubation. Still she had her orders and would do as her Captain had spoken.
Rana exited the room and left Vidya only with the male. She turned away from his prison, moving to the other end of the room. She made a call to one of her assistants to clean up any potential contaminants that might linger around the prison of the captured male so that they could proceed with the biological scan for contaminants.
Vidya began to calibrate a technological device to figure out how to speak to said male while she waited. She entered his speech into the device. M & G. Two of one symbol. 5.5.4 with a dash and 6.1.4. A total of six of the other symbols and two of the dash. One was tied to reading comprehension and writing and the other to mathematical equations. What the two had in common in this male’s statement, she would leave the technological to find out.
While the technological was making its calculations, the assistant arrived, dropping a scrubbing scarab-like device on the floor. It had web-like tendrils underneath it, breaking down the molecules in the area around the prison of the male as it moved about on the floor.
Matthews: Response?
The assistant ignored him as she completed her task, both females unaware the male had begun their plan to send a secret Morse coded transmission to their ship.
((Brief Timeskip, Jorogumo's Technological Bay))
The calculations completed, Vidya moved next to the male’s prison. She turned to her assistant, who stood off to one side, waiting patiently for instruction and to learn.
Vidya: After studying the symbols in the technological that were given to us by the male, I have concluded the following. The ‘bonded’ male that we saw on the bridge of their vessel's head, who spoke out of order was given a name. While males among the Velithari are never permitted a name, except when gifted by the Priestess, it is entirely possible their unbonded males have a designation. This one is MG - 554 - 614. The MG must stand for the batch and the numeric symbols of its order of birth and its function.
Assistant: A designation? Is this how they catalog one male from another?
Vidya: It is. It is most efficient is it not MG - 554 - 614?
Matthews: Response
Assistant: Why does it repeat its designation?
Vidya: Much like our males, this one must not be permitted to speak unless given permission to speak by its Captain. It would seem only their ‘bonded’ males may speak.
Assistant: But how will we know if their males are bonded?
Vidya: Do you see the blue color upon its uniform? One of the females we spoke to had this color and the other black. The bonded male had red. I suspect this unbonded male serves under its Captain as its servant, as they are both wearing blue and the bonded male is given red color indicating its bonded status.
Matthews: Response
Assistant: It would explain why the unbonded male was sent into the vacuum of space instead of a bonded one.
Vidya: Indeed. ::to her assistant:: This area has been cleansed?
Assistant: ::bowing:: Yes technological lead. It has been prepared. No contamination has been found here in the technological bay.
Vidya: Then we shall begin decontamination and biological study of the male and then continue our attempts to ‘reason’ with it.
Vidya reached forward and placed a hand over the weblike prison. A small handheld device that wrapped around her wrist and fingers much like a glove would, lit up in the palm of Vidya’s hand. As light touched the webs, the walls closed in around Matthews, constricting tightly around him, holding him in place within the sticky substance of the web.
Matthews: Response.
The web began to dissolve the uniform of the male around it, ever so slowly. It looked as though the web had tiny filaments that ‘ate’ away at the male's clothes until there was nothing left of his uniform.
Vidya: Do not struggle. The medical scans are about to begin.
A strange technological device moved down from the ceiling above. It was darkly colored and spherical in design and appeared to be partially organic. A number of tendril-like appendices extended down from its center in several directions and moved closing around Matthews on all sides. The ends were cone shaped and seemed to snake about on their own, inching ever so slowly forward on all sides of the male, making no sound as they moved closer.
Matthews: Response.
