Ask Some Questions, Get Some Answers (?)
[The Stardust Nebula is a large cloud, sprawling pink and purple across the dark void of space as you approach. There are no planets here, not even a planetoid, but that hardly means it’s devoid of life. Kip will easily be able to navigate to the place in question, a small collection of interconnected spaceports orbiting near the edge of one of the nebula’s hazy, rose-tinted tendrils. Floating signs hooked to these advertise “AIRLOCKED! Q&A”, with arrows leading towards what appears to be a convention center. A dome encloses the area, much like the one around the Fantasy Sweet, but there does not appear to be any kind of security restrictions on the port; it will open as soon as any ship pulls up to it.
Inside, there aren’t too many inconspicuous places to park your weird flotilla of offensively-shaped ships. You may just have to settle for the back of the docks, behind a large news van or something like that, and consider not sticking around the entire time. Getting inside was a quick process, so you shouldn’t have any trouble doing it again, especially with a military navigator staying with the ship. A line has already formed in front of the entrance, at least partially due to the scanners flanking the door. A large weirdly baby-faced alien in some type of uniform is standing there, apparently manning the machine, checking peoples’ belongings, and generally directing them. There’s an unfamiliar symbol on their uniform, clearly not the InterGal 7 logo. Despite being alone, they seem to be handling the line fairly efficiently - even if they occasionally appear to intentionally loom over some of the smaller aliens attempting to enter. There are a few cosplayers among the crowd, of course, but this time the majority are in plainclothes.
Some people are skipping this line and walking around to the back of the building. They’re all wearing or carrying badges, which do have the InterGal 7 logo on them.
For the moment, no one seems to have taken notice of your arrival.]

A-Are you okay?
no subject
Y...yeah. Will be. [Close eyes. Deep breath. Fuck, she wasn't ready for this.] Y-You?
no subject
[ he doesn't want to be useless ]
no subject
...I-I know. We can't just. We can't leave them. A-And we don't know if the others are okay, either...God, but what do we do...
no subject
[ He draws in a shaky breath. he needs to... not be a coward right now. ]
They might get suspicious by then so... you should go back to the ship. Let everyone know that things are going wrong. And I'll buy time so they're focused on me and not you.
no subject
I can't let you do that...! If...if we go, we go together, alright? Whether it's back to the ship or right into that stupid trap...
[It is all or nothing, and alerting reinforcements is not a coward's job. A coward would run and never look back.
...At this point it's surprising no one has come hunting for them in the bathroom yet.]
no subject
[ or maybe he would he doesn't know GOD THERE SURE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE RIGHT NOW, EVEN BEING REASONABLE IS HARD... ]
no subject
...At least...let's try to get out - both of us. And if we have to split up...we'll make it to the ship when we can. Alright? And if someone doesn't...we'll come back for each other. For everyone.
[If you wanna play the hero, Choromatsu, she can't stop you, but dammit, she is going to make sure each of them has some hope if being kidnapped is in any of their futures.]
no subject
Okay. I know.
Because family means no one gets left behind.
no subject
Not a one of us.
[Ready to peek out the bathroom door and make a break for it?]
