((A collection of timelines all eminating from a single point. Salbin are the only race currently able to travel to other shards at will. Special wormholes can also allow races to travel to other shards.))
Dr. Warse handed Dr. Onis the viewers. "We've got company."
"Wanderer, you know what to do."
"What do you want me to say? Same as last time?"

"Try asking them if they want peace. Those things look like they could hurt-"
"But they could please-"
"Dethy, shut up. Just shut the cluck up."

"Right."
Within moments, Wanderer had teleported to the group of RU2'ers.
"Greetings! We mean you no harm. We are only explorers, seeking to expand our knowlage."

Vanasra looked closely that the barely human thing. She suddenly fell to the ground laughing. "Female-mouths! Female-mouths! But, we do not desire your knowledge to expand. We desire you males to be OURS! SLAVES!"
As soon as her hand went through Wanderer, she got a frightened look on her face, went stiff, and fainted.

"That's new..."
After a quick examination of the colapsed RU2'er, confirming that she had only fainted from fright and not from anything he did, he returned to the expedition.
"I'd advise all our male crew members to please leave via the portal in a neat and orderly fasion. The natives are rather amizonian...
Which means they're not too keen on having males as equals to females."

Shortly after the males had left (Thought still watching, through LAH's camera), Karen asked, "Can you change into a female human?"

"That would require a reworking of how I precieve myself... but I think I can force it. I've never tried it though, and I might inadvertantly end up frying their brain if I force my presence on them too hard.
But as far as the human bit, they should be seeing me as one of their own. I don't need to force that."

"Umm... I think we may need one of the males back here again."
"Hey, John Maroontee? Come back here please?"
"Good, your brain isn't fried. Thanks."
"MY BRAIN COULD HAVE BEEN FRIED?!"
"Please go back."
*grumble*

"So it wasn't as hard as I thought... just another suggestion...
You realy shouldn't have let me test my boundaries. Now I'm tempted to start messing with people!"
He (she?) burst out laughing at this, and left to go check on the RU2'er he'd (she'd?) left earlier.

Having awakened and gone back to their main tribe, the whole army had come, some armed with maces, others with swords, and some with bows and arrows. "Ah. Someone to make diplomacy with. Are you of the same kind of person as the male that made me faint?"

"Yes. He told me that you wanted to talk to someone important."
He (she?) figured that he (she?) might as well play along with their culture for ease of diplomacy.

"Ah, yes. You are emperor, leader? But, we must discuss. From where do you come? Where are people blue and made of air?"

"I'm a diplomat. Counsel to my leader. As to where I come from, I do not know. The one you met earlier is the only other of my kind I've found. The people I represent are more like you: solid."

After discussing with the others for a while, Vanasra inquired "May we see these people? And why do you represent them, you being the anomoly among them?"

"Because no matter what I say, everyone understands what I've said. Come, I'll let you meet them."
He (she?) led the group back to the remaining members of the expedition.
