laungage barrier (closed for ambrosia)

[thestoryteller217]

Alex groaned and got up hearing the computer beep and signaling that they had reached their destination. He pressed a few buttons and his capsule bed hissed open unsealing and realsing the air back into his small stateroom. Alex got out and lightly scratched his bald head. his skin always prickled after going into hyper sleep and especially his scalp. He rose out of his bed unsteadily and grabbed his work gear grimacing as he saw his pale skin in the mirror.

Alex changed into a pair of dark pants and a black shirt before shrugging on his pilots dark red jacket and pulling a black beanie over his head. He grabbed his backpack and buckled his tool kit to his waist before leaving the room and sliding down the metal staircase to the deck.

He landed on the deck off the ghost his own personal BBR type 2 salvage ship. It was a small black vehicle with an oval body two stubby engines across each bow. and two mechanical arms that operated out the front. It was painted entirely black and even had little glowing lights running around the whole making it perfect for alex's line of business.

Smuggling

Alex jumped into the pilot's seat and activated his scanners doing a run down before setting a course for the wreck just outside of his view screen, he had been at the bar drinking and chatting up a innocent miners daughter when the word had gone out over teh Extra-net that there was a valuable cargo ship that had been attacked by pirates out over the vega sun. The pirates had picked her clean before leaving but there was a whole broken ship out there waiting to be salvaged Alex didn't need to be told twice and left the girl making a quick hyper jump before any one else could reach it.

and he was in luck

He brought his ship over to the broken hull and began tapping it with the ghost's arm making sure it was structurally sound

and with no idea what was about to happen to him

 

[Ambrosia_64]

(*tilts head* What's about to happen?)

It was sound but crippled, the crew captured or killed if they had been unlucky enough to be on bridge. Still, the damaged hull was sealed from the cargo area of the ship, and, if the readings were correct, some power was still fueling a life support system in the crew's quarters. Was someone alive in there?

 

[thestoryteller217]

(wow a short post from you)

Alex decided the safe thing to do was check it out. He was a smuggler but not a killer. Alex moved the arm over to the crew qaurters emergency air lock and attached the air to it. Alex hands flew over the key baord as he hacked into the doors controls and slaved it to his.

"We all set Mike?" Alex asked hitting a few buttons.

the screen flashed and a man appeared in an old century suit and bow tie. his hair was up and sticking out at crazy points making him look like a mad professor, HE was the Ghost's AI and a good friend of Alex's and was said to be rumored after a popular twentieth century show about space.

"All set over here sir" He said with his British accent "Watch out for big bad aliens"

"Yeah yeah" Alex said patting his holster where his revolver was "I'll be back soon protect her will you"

"as if she was my own ship sir" he said

Alex got up and went over to the left arm he keyed in the activation code and the door slid open with out a sound revealing the hollow part of the arm. He walked through the corridor and stepped out into the living qaurters on the other side. Alex pulled a few globe balls out of his pocket and twisted them before throwing them into the air. They all zoomed to different points of teh room providing the room with a soft and muted glow.

"Any one here?" he called on his gaurd

 

[Ambrosia_64]

(I know right?)

Silence greeted him.

The hallway extended for some distance, doorways open to reveal small spaces set every ten feet, each containing a simple bed, a cracked safe, and dead lights. Computers had been ripped out of the walls, anything of value stripped save the hardware of the ship itself.

Room after room was like this-until he came to a larger space with a folded room divider in the middle of it, shoved aside-and covering what appeared to be a second door. Overlooked in the raid perhaps?

Pulling it aside revealed a white flickering light through the small window...and the fragile outline of a woman's peaceful, resting face. Her skin was a bright, crimson red, raven curls framing her angular, alien face. A life support capsule, the woman frozen within.

Interesting.

 

[thestoryteller217]

(shall your alien learn things through sex maybe she learns his language and every thing about him through sex and its considered sacred or some thing in her species?)

Alex pulled back the paneling and frowned worried. Alex made sure the life support system was working and sighing in relief hooked his arms around the edges. Alex lifted it out and groaned even his impressive muscles groaning as he tried to pry it lose.

but it wouldn't budge

Alex let it go and removed his jacket kneeling down by it. He took out his data pad and took out the line hooking it into the jack in port on the side of the capsule.

"Mike see if you can break through the security and open this thing i cant lift it and the women would be alot easier to carry" Alex said tapping a few buttons.

"Geronimo" Mike whispered before the buttons on the capsules began to flash. There was a faint pop and the glasses popped open ice spilling out.

"You need to get her in the med lab before she goes into shock" Mike said

Alex was already gone gently lifting the frozen girl and wrapping his jacket around her body he rushed back into the ghost and quickly brought her to his small but substantial medical room. He laid her on the operating table and mike sprang into action two rings rose from the bed and began to circle her heats of red appearing as they brought her out of her frozen predicament.

Alex waited watching her with interest

 

[Ambrosia_64]

(Sounds like a quick, boring fix to me. : ( No way. I'm thinking she was the captain's *cough*personal attendant. Also...not literally frozen, though I giggled.)

She was naked and what was more-that crimson skin was natural, light blue, shimmering spirals were inked on her skin from an intricate marking where her navel should have been, an exotic pattern that traced over her hips and beneath her breasts to connect to a point at the nape of her neck.

A pretty, humanoid enough creature kept for God knew what-and as the heat rings moved along she stretched, those dark lashes fluttering for her amber orange eyes to blink upwards at the ceiling-sitting up to blink at her new surroundings-pausing on Alex.

"Ki no mi yaki?" She inquired in a satin, seductive sounding voice, absently drawing his coat on, looking around worriedly. "Gi om ne?"

 

[thestoryteller217]

(lol i thought you meant it literally oh well now she is all warm and toasty for him)

"Oh shit" Alex murmured seeing her body and looking away before he could be caught starring.

Damn you mom for making me a gentleman

"Uh i have no idea what she is saying Mike?" Alex asked looking any where but the girl for some help.

"Negative you didn't purchase the language package just the british accent remember?" Mike said slightly teasing

"Do you speak universal?" Alex asked referring to the universal language of the universe. alex was hoping the girl spoke it because it was the only language he knew. Alex moved grabbing a pair of hospital scrubs and throwing it in her letting her keep the jacket.

 

[Ambrosia_64]

Round, orange amber eyes stared at him without comprehending a word he said-just a smile when he offered him some hospital scrubs, swinging her long legs off the edge of the table so she could draw them on-as unembarrassed about her nakedness as could be.

"Ah..." She sighed as she drew them on over her bottom, zipping his jacket closed over her breasts and up to the hollow of her throat. She looked down at it appreciatively, her fingers touching at the material. She seemed unconcerned about her location, now.

 

[thestoryteller217]

"Right" Alex said thinking for a second "Me freind" Alex said pointing at his chest and then back at her. Alex then pointed at ship outside and then back at his ship "SAfe now" Alex said making a thums up signal.

"You look silly" Mike teased

fantastic

"Best i can do for now" Alex said shooting him a glare before turning back to her "Are you hungry" Alex asked rubbing his belly "Or thirsty?" alex asked making a cup with his hand and tipping his head back making it look like he was taking a drinking.

Alex smiled at her hoping he at least apepared friendly to the poor girl

 

[Ambrosia_64]

She giggled.

It was a pleasant sound, if mildly infuriating-here he was trying to comfort her and she was giggling at him, white pearly teeth looking even whiter in comparison to her red skin.

Attentive as he mimed his hunger and thirst, she began to nod enthusiastically, copying the motion of the cup, tipping her own head back-those raven locks slipping off her jacketed shoulders, the silky column of her throat exposed-before watching him somberly.

Yes, thirsty. "Ki wa nish."

 

[thestoryteller217]

"Ha got it!" Alex said smirking at Mike who wisely kept quite Alex went over to the water cooler and quickly filled a cup of water for her. Alex made his way over to her and bent down in front of her handing her the cup. His electric green eyes filled with worry for her.

"Here you go" Alex said handing her the cup before stepping back and leaning against the door. Alex lightly scratched his chest his biceps under his shirt rolling as he did. He starred at her intently wondering if he should abandon his scavage mission and get her to a medical station or just keep her on board for the time being

the fact she was beautiful cinched the deal to him

"Mike begin the mining operation" Alex said before turning off the screen leaving them alone for now

 

[Ambrosia_64]

She had been very thirsty-accepting the glass of water with a warm, grateful smile, the alien babe brought it to her lips and greedily drank it down, downing it in minutes.

She wiped droplets from her lips with her other hand, setting the cup aside as she slipped from the table, walking around the medical bay on her bare, dainty red feet. Eventually she'd end up wandering in front of him-those orange amber eyes shifting to him curiously, a tilt of her head.

"Wi na nu." She said in a lowered tone, a pat to his shoulder. As if he'd done well at something.

 

[thestoryteller217]

"It was my pleasure to uh save you" Alex said growning and trying to think of a way to show her saving. Alex finally put a hand on her shoulder and patted it bowing to her to try and convey it was his pleasure.

Alex smiled and took her hand kissing it "Me Alex" He said pointing at his chest and then pointing at her and raising his eye brow to show wuestion

 

[Ambrosia_64]

That warm smile again, her hand, her -skin- warm, heated.

He gestured to himself, said something-then gestured back to her. Hesitating a moment, she unzipped his jacket slowly...and offered it back to him! She seemed a little put out too, him wanting his own jacket back. "Me Alex." She said apologetically about the coat, standing there bare breasted once more, that strange blue symbol exposed-

...dammit.

 

[thestoryteller217]

"no no no" He said looking at her breast and then bringing his eyes back to her. He tried to think again of some way of asking her what her name was and shrugged.

"me alex" He tried again pointing at his chest again and then his head "me alex" he said doing it one more time "You?" he asked pointing at his chest accidenlty grazing against her nipple. Alex kept the jacket at his side so she did not think he was asking for it back.

 

[Ambrosia_64]

Her right hand cupped the grazed breast, her fingers sliding over it to cover the blue tipped nipple. "Alex?" Her other hand touched his chest, seeming to understand-before she took the jacket back, tying it around her curved hips.

She pointed to herself, to the blue marking on her flat stomach. "Cordelia." What the fuck-she had a perfectly normal sounding name, so how was it she spoke jibberish?! She smiled at him again, lowering her lashes to peer at him from beneath the dark fringe. "Ki no mi wsh, Alex."

 

[thestoryteller217]

"Uh aren't you going to uh cover your self?" Alex asked uh making a cupping motion with his chest and smiling at her.

by the gods she was sexy

Alex waited keeping his eyes off of her breast and starring at her stomach again with interest. maybe that's where the markings that said her name was? Alex had never met an alien like her which he found odd because he traveled all around the universe.

 

[Ambrosia_64]

Another giggle, and then, surprisingly-she took his hands and guided them to her breasts.

!

They were as warm as the rest of her, the soft globes of flesh hot to the touch and firm. She moved closer, watching him with that same smouldering gaze-before she stepped away, drawing the jacket up and on once more, walking away to gaze out the panel window, into the stars. Well!

(Perhaps he googles it. Turns out she's part of a patriarchal race that, while intelligent-is still living in the stone age, occasionally giving away women as tokens of gratitude to space faring captains. The race was wiped out forty years ago, but she's young enough to be the half daughter of one, or something.)

 

[thestoryteller217]

(idk do they get internet in the viod of space? i guess they would =O my characters face right now)

Alex mouth dropped to the floor shocked at her complete and utter sexyness. Alex thought about trying some thing sexual and seeing if she was uh... keen to the idea before deciding some research was in order first.

and maybe a cold shower

Alex moved out of the room and went over to his database running a quick google search while Mike kept up the scavenging bots. He finally found some thing on the great oglong orgin learning extra net or google as it was called jokingly. She was a primitive race from a nearby star system that was whipped out by the scurg years ago. Alex did some more research and couldn't find a language converter but found out they gave away the women as tokens to star captains which would explain how he found her.

Alex scratched his head through the beanie and leaned back frowning in though not realizing he left the door open to the med bay

 

[Ambrosia_64]

(Hot DAMN right?)

Through the open door he'd hear pleasant, soft humming, his resident alien chick twirling by gracefully, apparently entertaining herself with some half remembered song or other.

She was strange.

And then the sound of water as she filled her cup, and then, suspiciously-silence. Ruh oh.

(Hm. Anything she could get into? Or maybe break? Perhaps she flips the gravity off or something.)

 

[thestoryteller217]

(oh yeah futuristic sex toys?)

Alex cursed and jumped up worriedly hearing her dissapear

uh oh

Alex walked into the metal corridor "Ki no mish wsh cordelia?" Alex caused hopping to draw her out with her own alien language as if it could be that simple. He reached the first door and hoped to the gods she had not gone into his room. Alex took a deep breath and hit the button opening the door.

 

[Ambrosia_64]

Nope, no Cordelia there, and hopefully his words weren't offensive-though she had spoken them earlier.

Alex might've felt a little flummoxed to find his alien missing-and then there was a curious, feminine sound in the control room and the sound of a switch being flipped-and suddenly his feet weren't on the floor, blankets floating off the bed-oh shit.

A flash of crimson and black raced by his doorway, Cordelia catching herself on another surface only to push off from it, gliding through the air gracefully, her amber eyes glinting with amusement.

 

[thestoryteller217]

Alex swore and pushed out of his room.to follow her "cordellia" he hollered floating out to the hall way and taking off after her down the hall.he reached the metal hall way and.pulled him self through to the cockpit alex said the words in her langauge again hopping.to ellicit some.response even if it was a bad one

 

[Ambrosia_64]

She stopped, amber orange eyes widened in surprise as her raven locks floated behind her head, haloing it with dark silk.

She blinked, and then erupted into a fit of giggles, curling up in midair and laughing.

"Ki wsh, ki wsh!" Hardy har har.

She twisted, slow motioned floating through the air, looking relaxed as she peered at him with her head tipped back, "upside down". As if to see what hilarious thing he'd do next.

 

[thestoryteller217]

"Well that didn't work" Alex said frowning and floating next to her he struggled to figure out another idea of communicating with her but finding none he shrugged.

Alex pushed off close to her and grabbed her hand bring her back down to the deck. He put her down and pointed at the floor and then made a walking motion with his fingers followed by a palm up as if to stop. Trying to get her to realize not to move while he went and fixed the gravity. Alex swam over to the control unit to turn it back on.
