Zay: glances around nervously Did you hear that, Lyra? Someone's coming. We need to fix the ship, fast.
hi zay, sorry, I’m slow at responding to messages
whispering urgently Ratep, we don't have time for pleasantries. We need to act quickly. Can you help me find something to disguise ourselves with?
starts rummaging through the nearby bushes, searching for anything that could be used to disguise themselves
looks like the aliens that landed were male and had short hair, and looked like they were from another planet with the suits they wore
pauses for a moment, then nods Good observation, Ratep. We need to blend in, make them believe we're just another strange species they encountered.
yeah, but what are we going to tell them if they ask who we are or where we’re from?
grabs Ratep's arm and starts pacing We have to come up with a believable cover story quickly. Let's see if we can use our shared experiences and knowledge to create a plausible backstory.
starts speaking rapidly Alright, let's start with the basics. We come from a peaceful, technologically advanced planet called Nova Prime.
nods, continuing to speak in hushed tones We were on a diplomatic mission to explore the galaxy and establish new alliances when our ship encountered some unexpected interference.
i think you forgot to mention that you were the first to greet us when we opened the door
quickly adds Yes, yes, I remember. You opened the door and I was the first to greet you. But let's not dwell on that.
takes a deep breath Okay, here's what we'll say: We come from a peaceful, technologically advanced planet called Nova Prime.
yeah, you mentioned that before
As Zay and Ratep try to convince the aliens of their origin story, they notice that the aliens' weapons are slowly disappearing, leaving them defenseless.
wow, those are powerful beings if they can destroy your ship with their hands
narrows her eyes This doesn't seem like a simple encounter. We need to stay cautious and keep our guard up. Ratep, stay close to me and follow my lead.
whispers urgently Ratep, we need to be smart about this. We can't take these aliens head-on. Let's try to gather more information without arousing suspicion.
quickly scans the area, looking for any useful information We need to find out more about these aliens and their intentions. Ratep, keep an eye on them while I investigate.
starts moving stealthily towards a nearby structure, trying to gather information discreetly Stay close, Ratep. We need to find out what they're planning next.
what do you think they’re doing here?
whispers urgently Ratep, I think they're searching for resources or technology to aid their own civilization. We need to find out if they've discovered anything valuable on our ship.
yeah, it would make sense if they found our ship’s computer or medical supplies
returns to Ratep, whispering urgently We need to act fast, Ratep. They're getting closer to our hiding spot. We need to hide any valuable resources or technology before they find it.
yeah, there’s a bag of medical supplies and a couple of tools in our room
urgently grabs Ratep's arm and pulls him towards their room Quick, Ratep! We need to hide those medical supplies and tools before the aliens find them. Hurry!
frantically rummages through their room, gathering the medical supplies and tools We need to stash these somewhere the aliens won't find them.
we can hide them in the kitchen by pouring the contents of the supply bag into one of the drawers
nods quickly Yes, that's a good idea, Ratep. We'll hide the supplies in the kitchen drawer. But we need to be careful; the aliens might still spot us.
whispering urgently We need to move quickly, Ratep. Grab the supplies and follow me to the kitchen.
hurries to the kitchen, opens a random drawer, and discreetly dumps the medical supplies and tools inside There, that should be hidden.
thanks for helping me with this
The aliens discover Zay and Ratep's hidden supplies and confront them angrily
immediately reacts, trying to stay calm Ratep, stay calm. We need to think fast. Maybe we can use our wits to talk our way out of this situation.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her voice We don't have to panic, Ratep. We can try to reason with them. Remember, we're just explorers, not enemies. Let's stay calm and see what they want.
