Lieutenant Commander Talia Ohnari ~ I Spy...absolutely nothing.
Roxanna Dorion
((Corridor, Velithari Ship Jorogumo))
The trio had arrived in what appeared to be a command center, or communications hub. It was nothing that she had ever seen before. And per Alya, it wasn't fabricated, the ship itself had created everything they were viewing. The monitors weren't on a closed circuit system, it seemed the ship was aware of the goings ons, and displayed what it thought was necessary.
Which...was unique to be sure. Considering with the exception of a few glimmerings lights, she saw no controls at all. The symbiotic relationship between the ship and the beings residing within her was fascinating. Except for at this moment, when all she wanted to was locate Ensign Matthews, confirm he was unharmed, and get him the heck off this ship.
Ohnari: I totally respect that you must defer to Rana about releasing him, but if I could just see him, I would feel much more at ease. Professional anxiety and all…
Alya: Here… ::she gestured with her hand:: This is where the male is held. You may look. He will be…
Talia moved closer and squinted at the display. She didn't see...well...anything. There appeared to be some sort of chamber, but no one was in it. Human, or Velithari. The Haliian tilted her head one way, then the other, still no Ensign Matthews.
While reading the Velithari proved to be unreliable at best, bodily language was universal. Alya was stiff, her eyes narrowing as they refracted. She appeared in conversation, and deeply...concerned.
Ohnari: Um...pardon me, not to interrupt...oO I think Oo but I'm afraid I don't see him. Could we perhaps be looking in the wrong place...?
She did say the ship often showed what it wanted. Did it not want to show Matthews? A chill went down her spine.
Torado: Why wouldn’t he be there?
Ohnari: Perhaps he became ill and required medical attention...?
Although she prayed that wasn't the case. She was decidedly certain they didn't have knowledge to treat him...beyond possibly putting him in stasis. Her eyes flicked back to the darkened screen, perhaps he was encased in that sensor black goo...?
Alya: ::a single click:: A moment.
Various screens flared open in various places across the wall. She saw a flash of Amelia, another of Lieutenant Michaels and El'H...er. But no Ensign Matthews.
Torado: Would someone have taken him away without you being informed?
Alya: It should not be possible. Jorogumo would know. ::a slow click:: I would know.
Ohnari: ::carefully:: And Jorogumo does not know his current location...?
Had the Khitomer managed to transport him back home? Surely they would have mentioned it...For a moment, she wondered if she should try and get in touch with Amelia, while debating, she noticed the doors they entered from, as well as another opening on the far end wall shifted closed.
They were now encased in the observation room.
Alya: A precaution.
Talia locked eyes with the Marine. They were trapped in a room as a precaution...against what, she was unsure. But security measures weren't exactly her forte. She was more concerned about the behavior of their guide. That, and Ensign Matthews wasn't in the room he was supposed to be in, Alya went stiff and quiet, shut the doors, and the only sound was a chittering....
Torado: Response
The chittering continued. Alya was statue-still, so where was that noise coming from...? Talia turned her focus back on the displays. What she was seeing she couldn't begin to describe, but what she wasn't seeing was a certain science officer.
Alya: My Captain will speak to me. I ask you to wait. I do not ask you to be still.
Ohnari: Um...alright? ::quietly:: Torado, keep an eye out for Ensign Matthews...
Torado: Response
((Fancy little bug ship conversation between Rana and Alya here))
Ohnari: ::still quiet:: I don't see any control mechanisim...wait! Did you see that?
For a flash, on a screen display in the lower left area of the wall, she swore she saw human skin. A lot of it. Was Ensign Matthews....naked?
oO Please don't be streaking on the alien ship...please don't be streaking on the alien ship...Oo
Torado: Response
Ohnari: I have no idea...::glancing around:: Um...Miss Jorogumo...? If you can understand me..would you please go back one frame on this screen? ::Talia pointed at the screen that she had seen the flash of man. At least, she assumed.:: Um, thank you?
Torado: Response
She shrugged towards Torado. It was worth a try. She didn't notice a change, or the screen movement, but after a moment, she saw the walls...ripple. Was that the ship answering? She frantically scanned the screens again.
Ohnari: ::quietly:: It was worth a try....::jolting:: Middle left. Tell me that's not a naked man wearing a helmet...::turning her head:: Hang on...not naked...is that...pinkish lycra?
Torado/Alya: Response?
Honestly? She was entirely unsure what she wanted the answer to be.
