Snippet #2543569

Kaliska furrowed her brows, frustration growing as she stared over at the lifeless form of Nathan's orange suit. She had thought the words were coming from him and the irritation came from his sudden ability to change his voice and speak completely different than he had before. Her patience was gone.

"Other Nathan, this Misu does not under..." Her words abruptly stopped as she noticed the actual source of the voice creeping upon them from behind. For a moment, she could not respond through limb or words. Her mind was urging her to move. To find the warrior she had been accompanied by and flee. The others were finally here. Who knew how many of them were out there, hidden behind the wall of jungle. Her heart was racing as quickly as her frantic thoughts. She was not ready for this. The Misu were not ready for this.

It was a moment later that the translation of this new other's words trickled into Kaliska's mind. Allied force? Did that mean friend? Or least... Not yet an enemy? It, the other, was asking her permission to come closer. A follower? She had never heard of that type of other... Finally her body regained the ability to move. Her green eyes first darted to the closer Misu who were working at the fire. Some of them were now watching with wide eyes, some ready to defend her if needed.

Collecting her courage, she straightened her shoulders and hardened her features as she turned to face this new other that greatly resembled a creature. It was not an unheard of concept on other stars, she knew, but Kaliska had never before seen it for herself.

"Y-you may approach, Follower," Kaliska could have kicked herself for the sudden shakiness of her voice but she'd would be lying if she claimed to be not frightened by this new other and all the possibilities that came with it. Somehow over the last four days a worry had set in her, completely hiding her once carefree and adventurous attitude.
