‘Keep in touch and stay safe. We might head your way in a bit. Over and out.”
You move away, keeping to stealth, and head in the direction of the drone, making it seem like you flew over from the main group. Finally raising up your Ki a bit, it does seem to take notice of you. All right, this is it. You land right in front of the drone thing, tilting your head in faux surprise and looking around to make it seem like you were expecting something else. The drone stares at you expectantly.
You clear your throat. “Ahem. Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni-ni-bong.” you attempt with the absolute best you can manage, using the hand signs mom used previously, to the best of your ability.
The drone is taken aback, but looks you over with genuine curiosity, and… it speaks! “Tî akt’asalb abjatļud.”
You blink. “Pardon?” Those were… words, you think, but you’ve never heard them before.
“Ah, you speak Basic, organic.” the drone clarifies, now speaking in a formal, kinda masculine, though definitely synthesized voice. “A true surprise. I detected your group’s arrival, but was unsure of your intentions.” It moves around you, a soft noise emanating from it as it seems to be scanning you. “Smaller than most I have records on. Significant energy levels present. No augementations detected, no external weaponry, merely equipment. Highly irregular. No outwardly hostile signs present.”
“Um… who am I speaking to at this time, if you don’t mind my inquiry?” you ask, subtly keeping your guard up. It’s not identified you as Tuffle or Saiyan like Giru did, so clearly not related to the Machine Mutants.
The drone stops in front of you. “You may refer to me as Rabaht.” It pauses, the monoeye getting close to your face. “Your designation, organic?”
>A. I’m Son Peppa, of Earth>B. Are you the only one around here, or are there others like you?>C. …I don’t blame you for being cautious, but I can still sense your energy over there. You can come out, I mean no harm>D. What happened here?>E. Something else?
