She perked her ears up hearing the avali speak. She slowly poked her head out and did a quick look around seeing the shimmer in the sky blinking softly. That must be the ship she thought to herself as she made sure her weapon was ready just watching for the time being.

It would burden him too much. Nobody- not even ones like him- should know what happened.
So you're going to leave him blind when he seeks answers? He isn't adjusting as well as the others...
Listen. If we tell him, he won't be able to live with that knowledge.

She saw the uncloaked shuttle tilting her head couriously as she watched. She wanted to confirm how many there were before she went to disable them to bring them in. She saw one soul on the flashing shuttle pass on. She was happy it was only the one but she still mourned the loss as it moved to the next life. She quickly returned her attention to the landed shuttle.
// screw it, I'll just keep using Wingdings.
We should probably do something about his... Current state...
He'll recover in time. For now, I'll let you wake him up.
Urgh... What...
It's time for you to return to consciousness.
----------------
Umbra wakes with a start. He's lying on the side of a hill near the settlement, bare except for a tree at its peak.
"What... What just..."
He sits there for a while, somewhat freaked out.
Who... Who were those people? And why do I feel like I know them?...
...Great, I started with one existential crisis, and now I've got two...
He stands up and... Stands there.
Great... Guess I'm locked as is for now. Again.
He starts walking back toward the village.

"I thought you died too..." He remembered seeing her, so horribly maimed in the beast's aftermath. Slowly but surely, he raised his arms and hugged Wurg back. "It is good to see you again."
"Y-yeah...good to see you, too...I...almost didn't remember. Had a bit of amnesia, but it's getting better, I'm remembering everything now..." She let out a quavering sigh. "I'm just happy to know you're okay."

Hello? Anyone around?
"Do you have an appointment?" The secretary said. They were sitting behind the counter within the waiting room.
No but I'd like to make one as soon as possible...

This suit, it's stuck on, the only thing I can do is retract the helmet.

Wurg sat in the lobby, waiting for Gregor to get his clothes.

The doctor got the clothes ready for Gregor. "Just go ahead and put this on, you're free to go!"
Gregor slowly slipped into the clothes a piece at a time, and paused a moment to look himself over in a nearby mirror. "Oh, that reminds me... Was my credit card ever recovered?"
"No, there were no cards when we recovered you. Though you probably can get a new card quite easily. Just inform the bank or credit company your card was lost in the field and they should replace it swiftly."

The hospital couldn't help, forgot why.
This stupid suit of armor is malfunctioning and I'd like to get out of it before it breaks my bones, surely you can do something?

"I will do that, then. Once again, thank you. I will return if issues arise." He shook Hardpaw's hand once again, then turned to head for the lobby. His gait was still somewhat stiff, about halfway between natural and mechanical walking, but very steady.
Gregor could see lots of other patients as he passed the other rooms, and wondered where the other members of the expedition were now. Perhaps some were still here in the clinic, waiting for their turn to wake up.
He soon made his way to the lobby, where he could see Wurg and many other people, including an Avali in armor talking to the receptionist. He quickly made his way over to the former.

"that depends entirely on the sort of damage you want to negate, to which i find this armor to be the best because it's lightweight, an attack can't hurt you if it doesn't hit you. i prefer to stay light on my paws, while heavy combat armor might be able to sustain the damage from an few attacks, i'ts far from strong enough to take reapeted beatings from beast that can send you flying with a single swipe. so it's better to just dodge. this clothing protects more against the elements, heat and cold, but also provides some electrical insulation as well as being strong enough to brush off whatever small rocks and bits of earth the beast might tear out when it's attacks miss."
*the Avali smiles down at Ralako, looking quite happy to have someone to talk with. he puts a claw to his chin tilting his head*
"you seem quite knowledgeable, have you hunted before?
"Have I hunted before? That's a good one!" Ralako laughs sincerely. "But yeah, I have! Wouldn't be part of the Grasshoppers if I hadn't! Say, what's your name?"
Umbra walks into his house and flicks on the lights. He smiles upon seeing that nothing has changed.
Guess it wouldn't hurt to do a little housekeeping...
He starts looking around for something to dust with.
