Day 40: Lunch

*hobble wobble*

"Damn that SCOURGE!" Starscream cried out, the slowly-filling cafeteria producing a jarring echo of his raspy voice. His limping, already bad enough from not knowing how to properly use his crutches, was now exacerbated from the injuries he'd received the shift prior. Despite the gauges in his non-casted leg so lovingly provided by the aforementioned 'patient', Starscream could still put some weight on it, but not so much that he could really stop and rest; relieving the soreness under his arms was out of the question. The nurse that walked behind him with his tray, already upset at having to deal with yet another troublesome inmate, was growing rather impatient as his charge slowly made his way down the food line.

"Just...give me a standard serving of the aquatic creature's flesh, some of those fried potato slices, two bananas, and three bottles of juice," Starscream sighed, his anger from just a moment ago assuaged by the physical exertion needed to move the way he did. "I'm going to sit down here...bring it to me when you're done."

He was hardly surprised to find that one of the bananas was completely bruised along its inner curve, or that the handful of 'chips' on his plate were all on the small side. Tired and frustrated as he was, however, he could barely muster a 'damned flesh-creature' before moving his fingers to the plate, picking one of the longer 'chips' and shoving it into his mouth listlessly.

There was an unusually high concentration of sodium chloride crystals on it. Of COURSE.

Shaking his head, he leaned back in his seat. "I haven't met them, I don't think. Do they have a military background as well? What do they look like?"

Something was starting to come together for Kagetora, and Takaya didn't like it at all. When the bastard was plotting something, it wasn't ever anything good.

"Yes, all three of them do, although we all use different tactics in battle. Fwiffo for example is more inclined to run away than face you directly, and Tanaka would probably throw himself screaming right in your face." Although, without their ships they would all have to adapt... some more so than others. "My Captain is somewhere in-between the two, although he does make rash decisions sometimes." For all that ZEX had lied about being able to nullify Precursor artifacts, the marks on the back of his Captain's ship had been real.

ZEX kept trying to work out whatever it was that was stuck in his teeth. Inconvenient things. "I suppose the Shofixti would be the easiest to find. He's small and covered with scars..." ZEX was gradually losing focus... he finally reached into his mouth to investigate and pulled out several long strands of black hair. Ah, that would explain it.
