Spaceship Parking, and then [Location Redacted], The Mainland, Wednesday Afternoon

[firstofitskind]

Liam had been deliberately vague in the note he'd left Verity on Christmas about where exactly they were going and why, but when they decided to make the trip he'd promised her today, he did make sure to mention that she'd want to dress for weather that was warm and humid.

He showed up shortly before the time they'd handwavily agreed to meet at the spaceship parking in the junkyard, just to quickly run his shuttle through pre-flight diagnostics.

"Not that the plant life around here needs much help," anymore, anyway. "But they do what they can."

"So, then how do they spend their days?" Verity asked. "What do they do? Do they primarily spend their time harvesting energy for the, uhh, colony? Or maintaining their home? Or do they have a culture and society they're advancing? What is it like, a day in the life of a skrill?"

Liam shrugged. "Right now? A lot of exploring. They've been here.... three? years, now," which, yes, he'd been the one to put them there, you'd think he'd remember, but he'd also spent a year kind of dead, which tended to mess with his perception of time a bit. "But it's a big jungle. Still pretty new to them."

Kathy felt that whole 'being dead messing with your perception of time' thing pretty hardcore.

"That makes sense," Verity said, nodding. "Are they looking to map out the whole jungle? That could potentially be a very useful tool--a way to map it out without being invasive. A lot of good could come of that. In the right hands, anyway."

Which really narrowed down whose hands that information should go into.

It was a hell of a thing to have in common! Though being incorporeal and one with the universe was somewhat less traumatizing than being a flesh-eating zombie, that's for sure.

"She says that's an interesting idea," Liam relayed. "Something to consider for when they decide it's time to reveal themselves."
