Respect

Four tsabhua gathered at the edge of the water. ((The flooded hallway was normally dark, but in all the activity, someone had placed a portable floodlight pointing at the still, ominous water. It was colder in the second ring than the first, but just as humid, giving the air a clammy feeling that clung to the fur of the group.)) Nauxha had accompanied Orion and Sea as part of the assistance agreement between the two colonies, but Nazig had already been present when they arrived, contemplating...

Kel and Marchus continued on into the damp dark jungle. ((It was eerily quiet as there was no wind rushing through the tall dark trees. The smell of the damp dirt overpowered any other smells unless they got really close.)) There was very little sign that this place was inside a bunker except for the strange lights that hung high above them. Kel and Marchus had just entered another area and were very carefully moving through it. Marchus held the device in his hand but no longer needed to u...

Marchus and Kel made thier way deeper into the jungle. ((It no longer smelled like water but had more of an earthy smell to it. And the moss and vines had given way to more of the strange looking trees and plants.)) ((The trees were tall and stalky with a head of bush like green foliage. Bright purple five petaled flowers that seemed to give off a slight glow climbed up the trunks and entertwined in the branches making it look like the tree had both flowers and fruit. Golden pare shape...

"Stay close." Kel said as they stepped into the underground jungle. Thomas and Shasta both nodded which was lost to Kel as he was on high alert. ((The walls of the bunker seemed to disappear under the green folige and was soon lost in sight.)) Occasionally he caught a gimplse of the the metalic walls but they became fewer the deeper they went. The air around them felt damp and when he could see the walls they were dripping in water. Shasta let out a yelp of fright. She stood rooted to ...

“Guys!!!” Thomas yelled with excitement as he came running into the village.  “It’s open!  It’s open!”  Both Kel and Kya looked up from a big piece of paper they had unfurled on the ground. There was a stone in each corner to help keep it open.  As Thomas got closer he could see that it was the plans for a new building. Their village was growing quickly and needed some new space. ...

Carus sighed, caught up in his boredom, **as he looked over the books in front of him once again.** For some reason, Matter has asked him to research ghosts. He wasn't sure what this was all about- the Tark'ee had just asked him, and when he initially declined, had pointed out how he hadn't put any work towards helping the colony out with the bunker yet.   He decided it would be better not to point out that this had been on purpose.   **He groan...

Pumpernickel was trying very hard to keep up with Cacao, twiddling his short whelp legs. It was not easy, looking that the older Tsabhua was a giant not only in a whelp’s eyes, but in the eyes of others of her species as well. He noticed that she peeked at him and slowed down a bit, her white feet softly tapping against the leaf litter. She noticed that he had problems keeping up with her and his ears flattened in the response. He was doing just fine - he did ...

So this was the place, huh?  In the depths of the wild, crystal-laden mountains of Rekes, is a structure that the researcher did not expect to find. Rumors were one thing, as were etchings and broken dialogue between himself and the Colonists, but actually visiting the location for himself left his skin feeling prickly underneath all...
