Neidermeyer grunts at the sound of voices speaking a relatively familiar language. Outversers! His eyes narrow and he shifts back a little deeper into the alcove, clutching the meaty leg in his fist like a cudgel.

Frn'Zxk'Fkg's traded in his stylish top hat for an equally stylish khakhi pith cap, and has brought along a slender briefcase in addition to Anshera. He's carrying the little girl without apparent trouble, and has even furnished her with a nice green slouch hat. He continues to chirp and chatter as he scurries along.
  
"Aye, you did offer. I'm going to take you up on it, luv," Bri replies with an impish smile up at the Timonae. She shifts her attention to Kes then, "Have we ever done anything ha - " she cuts short right there as movement from the corner of her eye catches her attention and she peers closer at the person that moved.

"The fabled Snowpuff... haunting the Frozen Wastes..." Grey makes a little scampering motion with his hand-paws. "They acquire the scent of their prey..." Pause for dramatic effect. "And they /pounce!/" The Lyiri jumps forward onto all fours, viciously attacking an innocent root that had had the misfortune to come above ground nearby to Grey. He spits the remains of the root out and continues after Kestrel on all fours.
  
Jaswinder pauses as Bri does, his attention also turning. "...Well. Company? Not *too* surprising, down here..."
+
"Generally with the teams we send out." Raymond says. "Evidently they can mass produce a few things on the station."
  
Kestrel goes alert about the same time Bri does, eyes narrowing slightly as she too turns toward the movement. "Watcherself, kid," she comments quietly, taking a few steps forward. "'Ey, you. Yeah you. Why don'tcha come out wheres we kin seeya, 'ey?" Ostensibly, she's addressing Neidermeyer. At least, she's looking generally in the direction of where he's hiding as she speaks.
+
And by carrying, Frn means 'Shera's standing on him with the most superhero-esque pose, sporting a pretty sweet hat. Oh yes. Chirpchirp chatter goes the bug, and she doesn't understand a lick of it. She points at the trail Kes mentioned, "Quite so. That way, darling!"
  
The man in the alcove sighs, shaking his head. He flings the leg aside. "Tastes like feet, anyway." He shuffles forward, drops a couple of feet to the floor, and limp-steps toward the trio. "Hot enough for you?" he inquires conversationally.
+
A grin as she watches Grey and his antics, Kitt shakes her head before looking about her. Her eyes settle on...something..."What the..." and her pistol comes out of it's holster with practiced ease "heck is that," The weapon points forward, at a reptiallian creature "Watch out," she all but yells and moves to the side of the trail so that she can have a clear shot if needed.
  
Bri nods almost imperceptively to Kes and lets her take the lead as the gunslinger addesses the man. When he comes forward though her eyes go wide, "Um...Kes....?" yes, the little Sivadian is actually speechless for a moment before she finds her voice again, "I'm recalling something from the museum...the one that talks about the space port on TK and how it got its name."
+
James Owens spots the path and begins following it while looking around trying to get a sense to see if the trail was leading them away from the south. He hears the call to watch out and turns towards it to see what's going on.
  
Jaswinder blinks at Bri. "...You know this one?" he asks carefully. "You aren't running for cover, so ...how much danger are we talking, exactly?"
+
"Makes sense," Kes asides to Raymond, nodding. "Makes it easier ta track y'all, too." She chuckles quietly at that. As soon as someone yells, though the Later's got a gun in her hand, searching ahead for a target once she notes the direction Kitt is facing. "...Couldja be any *louder*?" she grumbles in a faintly annoyed tone. "Betcha 'ere's a couple'a people back at th'base what didn't hear ya."
  
"...Psh. No way," Kes says, first tilting her head at the man that emerges from the alcove, then eyeing Bri dubiously. She waves a hand dismissively. "'At ain't 'im. 'E's taller." She nods sagely, then shrugs at Neidermeyer and studies him a little more closely. "I dunno. Reckon y'ain't bad. An'... well, now 'at I look atcha a li'l bit closer... Say. You gotta name, chief?"

Neidermeyer shrugs. "Either you'll believe me or you won't. Honestly, I don't give three shits one way or another, but, now that I think of it, maybe you ought to believe me just the same. The name's Colin Neidermeyer. I came over here with four other clones courtesy of the Kamir Express." He scratches at the stubble on his cheeks. "Anyone packing smokes? I need a smoke. The only cigs they pass around down here are some foofy Gankri hallucinogenic shit that smells like an armpit."

Fortrain Spider

Frn'Zxk'Fkg's traded in his stylish top hat for an equally stylish khakhi pith cap, and has brought along a slender briefcase in addition to Anshera. He's carrying the little girl without apparent trouble, and has even furnished her with a nice green slouch hat. He continues to chirp and chatter as he scurries along.

"The fabled Snowpuff... haunting the Frozen Wastes..." Grey makes a little scampering motion with his hand-paws. "They acquire the scent of their prey..." Pause for dramatic effect. "And they /pounce!/" The Lyiri jumps forward onto all fours, viciously attacking an innocent root that had had the misfortune to come above ground nearby to Grey. He spits the remains of the root out and continues after Kestrel on all fours.

"Generally with the teams we send out." Raymond says. "Evidently they can mass produce a few things on the station."

And by carrying, Frn means 'Shera's standing on him with the most superhero-esque pose, sporting a pretty sweet hat. Oh yes. Chirpchirp chatter goes the bug, and she doesn't understand a lick of it. She points at the trail Kes mentioned, "Quite so. That way, darling!"

A grin as she watches Grey and his antics, Kitt shakes her head before looking about her. Her eyes settle on...something..."What the..." and her pistol comes out of it's holster with practiced ease "heck is that," The weapon points forward, at a reptiallian creature "Watch out," she all but yells and moves to the side of the trail so that she can have a clear shot if needed.

James Owens spots the path and begins following it while looking around trying to get a sense to see if the trail was leading them away from the south. He hears the call to watch out and turns towards it to see what's going on.

"Makes sense," Kes asides to Raymond, nodding. "Makes it easier ta track y'all, too." She chuckles quietly at that.
