Angalesh vs. Majaag (OMG)

[Darth Grievi]

"~You don't happen to still have that translator with you, do you Qynag?~" she asked as the door to the airlock flew open.

"~Way ahead of you.~" he said, acivating the device inside his cloak pocket. He cleared his throat and waited a few seconds for the translator to gather enough data to get the basics of the Koan language.

"Peace. No harm. Thank." was what came through in highly accented Koan.

[Snake]

The device itself was apparently modified by the magnetic waves, which allowed it to understand them. One word suddenly boomed through, " MAJAAG!!! " followed by the quick retreat of the technician Koans, leaving the corridor silent. A moment later, alarms went off as the staff was alerted to the intrusion. No doubt defense forces would soon arrive.

[Darth Grievi]

"NOT MAJAAG!" the translator shouted out Qynag's words in a paniced tone.

[Snake]

The lights in the corridor suddenly began to flicker off, and only the red lights of the alarm system remained on. The pair could hear the light beating of tentacle-boots on the metal floors, and the loading of rifles. The defense force was already in position.

[Darth Grievi]

The pair raised their arms in what they hoped was a submissive gesture as the defence force moved into place. They formed protective armor under their cloaks and redundant nervous systems, just in case. Still, they kept their faces and hands free of plating.

[Snake]

A number of Koans in heavy armor surrounded them, some on the roof where the gravity was upside down for easier transport. They all pointed their rifles at them, shouting in nearly impossible to understand Koan. The only word the device could decipher in the quick span of time was " Down! "

[Darth Grievi]

"~d**n computing time...~" Qynag muttered under his breath.

Lash interpreted the message as "Get down!" and fell to the floor. Qynag, however, thought it ment "Put your limbs down!" and did so, letting his arms fall back to his sides.

[Snake]

Qynag has obviously made a mistake, as he was immediately hit by the butt of one of the guards' rifles. They continued shouting in Koan, more of it being learned as, " Get down, Majaag! "

Soon, two small pods marked 'S.C.V' were brought in, and opened up. The guards pointed their rifles from the pair to the pods, ordering them inside.

[Darth Grievi]

((Wow... I just got censored for the first time... cool ))

Lash felt a touch of pride at correctly interpreting the message, but it soon faded as they were loaded into the pods. The pair made no attempt to excape and fully cooperated.

[Snake]

The pods, which they discovered were named Shape-shifter Containment Vessels, locked down. There was no possible way to escape from the reinforced alloy pods which were built so nothing even microscopic could slip through a crack. They were quickly hauled off to a containment zone, in which there were many specimens of Majaag, some were very compressed inside the S.C.V. Mostly just a mass of cells. Another addition to the S.C.V. was that its size constricted a shape-shifter's ability to select a viable form. They were left alone for a few minutes, except for a few posted guards and cameras.

[Darth Grievi]

Qynag pulled out his TAOQY, switching it on and sending a test signal to Lash's. It came through, but was specked with static.

"~Is it just me, or does the galaxy have something against us?~"
"~The Qyen weren't against us.~"
"~They weren't exactly helpful in our time of need, either.~"
"~They shut their borders long before the attack. I think they had a revolution.~"
"~The point is moot now anyway.~"
"~There you go... Want to play Salong-Nanun?~"
"~Link's not good enough.~"
"~Single-player it is then...~"

They cut off communication and loaded up the three-dimentional gamecube to begin a round with the TAOQY's AI.

[Snake]

The door slid open, and an intelligence officer in Koan Alliance garb with a few medals approached the two. As he approached, one of the Majaag began to make obscene references towards him, so he ordered that the guard hit a certain button the S.C.V. When he hit the button, the whole thing flooded with radioactive gas, slowly and painfully killing the organic Majaag.

The intelligence officer stopped in front of them, and said, " Identify your species, or we will forcibly extract your genome for decoding and identification. "

[Darth Grievi]

"Angalesh. We're not from around here." Qynag replied.

[Snake]

" Hah! Snorgle! " He hit a button on each pod, and a needle jabbed both of them. In a few moments, they were quickly identified as not being Majaag based on the lack of a few genes. " Your code still shows you have the ability to shape-shift. This in itself makes you suspicious. Why are you here?! "

[Darth Grievi]

"We're trying to get away from a race of xenophobes called Areli. They completely destroyed our homeworld without warning. We'd only met them two days before! We didn't do anything to them!" both Lash and Qynag said, overlaping each other a bit.
