[i]Distress Call[/i]
*Sapphire paced anxiously back and forth in the training building. Li'l S was standing a short distance away, frantically scribbling strange symbols onto his chest as she watched, seemingly reading them. Normally, this wouldn't be cause for alarm considering the only way she can tell what people are saying is by having Li'l S translate it and write it on his chest. What was strange though, was that he was wearing her helmet and no one else was in the room with them.*
[u]And they are already speaking Sphirinian, correct?[/u]
*Asks Sapphire, Li'l S nodding in agreement as he keeps scribbling onto his chest.*
[spoiler]Open to interaction. I'm going to be doing a number of these and I will only reply to one person for each one. (If I RP with you a lot, don't expect me to choose you. I'm trying to have my characters meet new people as well as build up to a plot I'm planning.)[/spoiler]

*Mortar and Wyatt walk up to Sapphire, Wyatt having his rifle drawn*] Mortar: Hey, Sapphire? What's wrong?

[spoiler]What?[/spoiler]

[b]Captain Allister entered the room, originally headed for the punching bags he diverted course over to Sapphire. [/b] "Hello there, didn't think anyone else would be here."
-
*She didn't hear him, she just keeps pacing.* [u]Do you have a location? At least tell me you have a continent.[/u] *Her eyes widen at something he writes on his chest.*
-
"Uh.." [b]He looked over at Lil S, somewhat confused. [/b]
-
*Li'l S nudges her and she turns around, jumping when she sees him.* [u]Who are you?![/u]
-
[b]Allister waved slightly [/b] "Captain Allister."
-
*Li'l S takes off the helmet and seems to write what he just said on his chest in some unknown language. She reads it and turns back to him.* [u]So what are you doing here and why are you talking to me Captain?[/u] *She asks, looking back at her helmet every now and then as her tail twitches impatiently.*
-
"I came here to train, saw you seemed anxious so I came over."
-
[u]That's because I am anxious! God, I have a girl to take care of, Sketch has been paralyzed so I have to carry him around everywhere, people are just running around the Dojo killing everything they see because why not? And now Li'l S is telling me my helmet is picking up a distress signal in Sphirinian?![/u]
-
"A distress signal? I have a ship.... Could check it out."
-
[u]But we don't need a ship, it's coming from somewhere on this planet. Li'l S says it's within a couple miles of the Dojo![/u]
-
"So what's the problem? Check it out. See what's going on."
-
[u]Do you know this area well?[/u]
-
"Yeah pretty well"
-
[u]Then you're coming with me![/u]
-
"Great... Let's do this shall we?
-
[u]Good.[/u] *Her helmet splits down the middle and she carefully fits it around her head, locking it closed again. She then puts on her armor, locking it closed as well. Without even speaking, she makes her way outside.*
-
[b]Allister followed her out, his hand hovered over his holster for a moment [/b] "Should I call the guard? Get a squad?"
-
[u]No no no... The distress signal is the type only a single person would send. We don't need a squad. Besides, the fewer the people, the faster we move.[/u]
-
"Good point. How far away is it?"
-
[u]It should be coming from about one to two miles away.[/u]
-
"Cool. So what's your name? Don't think I caught it."
