Re:Derelict: Season 1.

[CyMage]

Selecting the 'Alive' option first, Sebastian run the search.

[Carthrat]

There were exactly 14 subjects labelled under 'Alive'.

Most of the documents showed no relevance to each other, however, four of them shared a common feature;

They were titled, in order, ExPlTS-73, ExPlTS-74, ExPlTS-75, and, funnily enough, ExPl-TS-76, in order..

[CyMage]

Leaving the four documents grouped together alone for now, he quickly pulled the display for each of the other creatures first.  "I got a feeling I know the other four already."

[Carthrat]

Sebastian couldn't understand most of the data, but he could see the pictures.

7 of the pictures were, apparently, last photographs before the subject went 'missing'. They included:

What Sebastian could only discern to be four other humans; two caucasian males, one Asian, and one black man. They all looked to be fairly fit, healthy specimens.

The other creations were a little more difficult to place.

The first appeared to be a spindly, humanoid figure. It didn't appear to have much of a torso; just it's spine connecting a skeletal framework which small amounts of flesh falling off it. It's eyes seemed to glow an unholy red.

The second was a very odd, beetlelike creature. It's exoskeleton looked extremely tough, and it had two long pincerlike hands which extended from it's front, each equipped with 5 very sharp-looking fingers.

The third was a broad-shouldered, green-tinged humanoid, who looked extremely savage. He had large tusks extending from his bottom lip. He apparently had some kind of blade instead of a hand on his right arm, jutting out from his wrist.

The remaining creatures were, apparently, still within the tubes.

They were difficult to make out; one of them appeared to be a larger-than-normal humanoids; but it's face was indistuinguishable, obscured by the strange liquid that held it.

A Centaur was in a larger-than-usual tube, but large chunks of his body were simply no longer there. They had been replaced by strange, cybernetic enchancments. A look of fury was etched across his face.

The final picture was simply blank.

ALL subjects appeared to have various cuts and scars across their bodies..

OOC: Relm and Luminous instantly recognize the green thing as a particularly strong Orc with a blade grafted to it's wrist. Sebastian probably does, too, if he knows stuff about fantasy.

[Rezantis]

"They had an interesting collection, didn't they?  That thing looks almost like an umber hulk, but . . .  if all those things are running around, this isn't a safe place to be.  Hopefully they're gone by now."

[CyMage]

"Interesting.  Though that blank picture worries me.  Now for the real question.  Which of these are intelligent."  With that he opened the search menu and added 'Sentient' to the critteria.

[Carthrat]

The humans appeared, naturally.

The greenskined, tusked humanoid's file also appeared, along with the centaur.
The four as of yet unchecked files also appeared. No other files joined them.

[Rezantis]

"I'm more worried about the that undead, personally.  I think that might have been a liche."

[CyMage]

Sebastian looked strangely at the girl.  "A what?  Liche?"

He pulled up the displays for the other four creatures as he waited for the anwer.

[Rezantis]

Relm blinked.  "A liche.  You know.  An undead mage."

[Carthrat]

The noises throughout the ship had remained fairly constant. The occasional rumble, the occasinoal thump, a semi-regular banging..

However, the ship hadn't clicked before.

What's more, the clicking seemed to be getting closer.. and nobody could tell what direction it was coming from, as it somehow echoed throughout the room..

[Rezantis]

Relm started, and quickly looked around the room trying to identify the source of the noise.

[Carthrat]

Relm isn't exactly sure, but she *thinks* it's coming from the side walls. At least, that's where the noise seems loudest.

And whatever it is, it's getting closer. Of this there is no doubt.

[Rezantis]

Relm crouches on one knee and closes her eyes, trying to concentrate.

[Anastasia]

Luminous quietly listens to Relm and Sebastion as they discuss liches. If that IS a lich and it's active...well, this is starting to sound like a goatfuck in progress.  For the first time, Luminous wished he had that accursed holy sword.

As he hears the clicking, Luminous glances around, trying to locate the source of the sound, as well as accounting for all the people(or things in the case of the demon looking creature), as well as looking around for anything that could be used for cover or as a weapon.
