Captain Keelah Rhani - Bug V Orion (Tag Vondaryan/Numiz/Pandorn)

[Keelah Rhani]

((Hocktin, Unknown Location))

Rhani: Call it a matter of biology, if you like. Just call it that to the Marshall, and before you end up with a corpse or two to clean up.

:: The smile she gave the Hocktin wasn’t what one might call friendly, but at least she gave him as dignified little wave to send him on his way. Nor not. Either way, she didn’t give it much thought, being a little preoccupied with waiting to see what Vondaryan’s reaction to her little speech was going to be.::

Guard: ::muttering under his breath:: Stupid woman telling me what to do. Corpses. Who's gonna clean that up? Me, that's who. Not all high and mighty Marshall Numiz, no. Me, Largon, that's who.

:: The sour muttering faded from earshot as its source hauled himself off to deliver the message, and Keelah smiled in a rather bitter sort of amusement at the sound of it. It seemed there was something else that transcended species – the put-upon crankiness of the ill-tempered underling.::

Vondaryan: Certainly that's not true, Captain. You won't die without your injections, will you?

Rhani: Huh? No. It’s not that. It’s... I dunno. The bug maybe?

:: He looked back at her with a blink, and for some reason she very nearly burst into laughter at the sight. Not that it was funny, of course. It was just that she seemed to be having some difficulty keeping her brain on straight.::

Vondaryan: Well, what can I do to help?

:: All the answer she gave was a shake of her head, followed almost instantly by another hiss of pain as her body tensed again.::

Rhani: Unless you’ve got a spare nervous system I can borrow...?

:: As she muttered her (belated) reply, the forcefield dropped again, and the guard entered. With friends. Since this hadn’t gone well last time, Keelah didn’t exactly have high hopes for this occasion, either.::

:: Luckily, it seemed there was another agenda this time.::

Largon: He says I'm to bring you to him. So come on, then.

:: Easier said than done, as the Orion demonstrated by getting herself half way to her feet before losing all control over her legs and landing abruptly – and with little hint of dignity – on her rump once more.::

Rhani: Yeah. Not happening without some help.

Vondaryan/Largon: ?

:: Eventually, and with a fairly large amount of ill-feeling on all sides, the pair of them were “escorted” into a room that already held the Marshal and Pandorn. A couple of extra chairs were hauled out for them to be dumped into, which happened with a notable lack of ceremony and a wave of dismissal that sent the guards packing.::

Numiz: ?

Rhani: Hmm? Oh. Right. Just wanted to make sure you knew that before too much longer, your prizes are going to buy you nothing but even more trouble.

Vondaryan/Pandorn/Numiz: ? 

Rhani: ::smiling thinly:: Like I said. Biology. Your little bugs don’t seem to react well to us for some...

:: She trailed off, then her stomach heaved in a violent rebellion that very nearly gave them all a good look at what she’d had for breakfast. Luckily, she fought the impulse down before anything actually escaped... but it wasn’t a pleasant experience by any possible definition.::

Rhani: Okay, that was gross...

Vondaryan/Pandorn/Numiz: ?
