Challenge #01661-D200: Failed Exploratory Mission 746
Panic is for when the crisis has passed. -- RecklessPrudence
The human had her under their arm like a sack of grain. Which is about all that Zarkak felt ze had to contribute to the continuing shenanigans. Right now, the human was running at full speed towards the Vorax line with one arm outstretched before them and the speakers in their livesuit on so that the Vorax could hear the battle cry.
One day, in much quieter times, Zarkak would find out the answers to certain things. Starting with the human's name. Ze could not read the Terran sound-glyphs that made up the name tag on the human's livesuit. Also, Zarkak would find out the true meaning of, "I'll rip yer bloody arms off, mathafukuz!"
But right at this moment, Zarkak was busy shrieking in distress and occasionally attempting to shoot hir stunner at any Vorax that registered in hir field of vision.
The human kicked a Vorax in the thorax and shouted in GalStand, "Panic is for when the crisis has passed!"
Zarkak fought to answer in GalStand. The compulsion to scream in hir native tongue was strong indeed. "We are boarding a Vorax ship! I am saving time!"
"It's the only one we've got," said the human, and shot a Vorax crewmember before kicking the lax body down the boarding ramp. They put Zarkak down on the deck. Handed hir a human weapon. "Green means good to shoot. Aim at the Vorax trying to come in. Don't shoot my friends." And then they took a large and violent-looking Vorax weapon down from the rack with a cackle.
According to the human's rule, Zarkak would not be allowed to panic until ze was safely back on the station ze and hir exploratory crew had started from.
