"What is it Master Chief Warrant Officer Wakatelaho" You say the whole confusin rank and he looks a little impressed. You are gonna have to learn the terms. And it doesn't sound like it's gonna be easy.
"Your planet, has a history of xenos abductions." He says and you let out a snort and Gellah rolls her eyes, as it's enough to wake Meerah who gives an unimpressed look at your son, then looks up at you then goes back to her nap.
"Yes?" You say
"Oh good. So you know about the Pariah islanders ritually giving up one of there own every year to some sort of dread alien being posing as death."
"Wait- wha- I was not informed of such a strange situation. Yes our planet has been constantly attacked by the knife eared, apparently the orks, the ganth and others supposedly but we drive them back."
"This doesn't seem like any of those." Wakatelaho states. You nudge Meerah whom looks at you, a tad grumpy, then you look at Wakatelaho who goes over it again, and Meerah even seems stumped. So you go back to the back.
"Repeat your story?"
"Ya Roit. Sorry Big Man, dint think ya be intrested. Ery year death comes to our islan, and takes one of us and leaves." The one named Declan, whom has probably the most impressive haircut you have ever seen and probably also the most physically impressive of them. This has woken up the old man who now seems to be paying attention.
"Well does death kill them?" You ask
"Naye. Death just walks into a weird green gate. Lon time ago this right goofy pomf glowy fella who shined like the sun comes down an says 'I CAN GIVE YOU GIFTS BEYOND YOUR WILDEST COMPREHENSION IF YOU GIVE ME ONE BABY, ONE MOTHER, AND ONE FATHER. YOUR VILLAGE WILL NEVER KNOW PAIN OR SUFFERERING AGAIN.' To which Cu-Chulain- the elder not the famous younger- chief at the time told him 'to piss right off and never return. We aint dealin with no glowy lying thing." The being was so fucking flummoxed that it nearly exploded and said 'death would surely visit us in a year and take all our miserable lives.'
