"It all reeks too much of coincidence, Mendez. Just happens to attack us on Hazoo where we landed? Right after the whole shindig with the princess and all of that?" Riola replied, the Edensian perking a brow at the Half-breed and going quiet for a second at the headlines. Everything was beginning to seem like a red herring, and paranoia was sinking into his mind deeper than a worm in an apple. "Martyr. Pffft. I mean, she ain't exactly innocent now. Her squeeze is one of the most violent criminals I've ever known, and I'm considered a fuckin' terrorist." Even being wanted and hunted down, the Daoweian girl was still being portrayed as a hero. It felt so wrong. At least he was saving his kind from some form of genocide.
There was no need to tell Riola twice, and the Edensian offered out fake papers, waiting for either the people to stare at him in horror, or what had actually happened: The Edensian getting a nod and his false documents back; Riola looking towards the door they had come out from and pursing his lips into a sliver. "Yeah....Yeah you're right. Coffee. Bother her while everyone else is doing their thing." With that the Edensian excused himself; offering Mendez a quick wave of his hand before turning on his heels and taking a tired, exhausted stroll back to the ship.
Analoka offered a small nod and went back to her duties, amused and shaking her head slightly at the Felis. It was abig deal for Magali and the Star Woman knew it, but at the same time, did she really? She was born with a name. A purpose. Not someone dictating her purpose while she was forced to act on another's whim. Perhaps once the medical clients were taken care off and if they stuck around longer, Analoka would bother them to ask them about their lives. If only to sate her own curiosity.
Nokra was staring longingly at a vending machine, damning his empty pockets when the voice of his angel returned; Nokra jumping a little at the latching onto of his hands when he turned to face Magali, and blinking a few times while what she said had sunk in. "Whoa, hold on fucking wait? ID's? I... I don't know what those are. Is it something we're supposed to have to be free? I kinda, never asked or tried to figure it ou. Figured I was dying in something's mouth." Looking at his red-stained hands, Nokra frowned for a second, and took a couple of deep breathes, before forcing a smile. "No for real, Magali. I'm kinda excited for it. Just don't know what to do is all."

Nervousness painted on her face and audible in her tone, Analoka kept the girl in place for a moment, taking the time to make sure she didn't hurt the blue-haired girl while she was placed on an examination table ; Cold steel barely heated through the thin piece of paper laid out on top to keep fluids from staining the makeshift bed. The rigid explanation was usually what made people uncomfortable at first, but Analoka usually saw people relax once they were settled in. "...I can help you of course, the choice is yours. Though I can try and send for Ms. Chu in here now. I do need to help prep your other friend for a more vigorous dip into the pools." Analoka sighed. "Full submerging. It's not fun practice. Verdaqua in the lungs is an abhorrent feeling." The Doctor excused herself however, leaving the room to send for Hyun.
Hyun of course came almost immediately, the Chuzizian on the verges of breakdown from the look on her face, though she tried to piece herself together when she saw Ashi; the woman giving her a nonchalant shrug. "Yo. Shal's doing...Okay. They're taking off his limbs. Kinda hurts to see him as a legless, armless lump. But he's gonna be okay." She said, trying to assure Ashi and herself at the same time. "Doc said you needed me in here for something?"
"I just want to come home," said the Astronaut.
"So come home," said Ground Control.
"ï¼³ï½ ï½ƒï½ï½ï½… hï½ï½ï½…," said the Voice from the Stars.
“And he goes around killing people?†said Mort.
He shook his head. “There’s no justice.â€
Death sighed. NO, he said,... THERE'S JUST ME.
