“Oh, we just saw her standing behind us when we were smashing up the workshop. She’s Rambas’s mate.”
Rambas looks annoyed. “Garnash, I said <span class="mu-i">don’t</span> talk to this suspicious alien—”
“<span class="mu-i">I’m</span> suspicious?” you interject. “Isn’t it awfully suspicious that Luni showed up out of nowhere and started telling you what to do?”
“What do you mean?” Garnash says.
“Think about it. Someone with a close personal connection to Rambas pops in, just as Rambas starts wrecking shit, only to tell him to go sit in the corner and wait. You’re getting played, my stony friend.”
“Excuse me?!” Rambas says indignantly. “My mate would NOT do that.”
“Yeah, because that’s not your mate! That’s the disguising robot!”
“It is NOT the hologram robot! I KNOW Luni is on this ship. We were picked up by the Sylithians from the same research vessel. I KNOW her. That was her!”
“She said she was going to sneak around and evade the guards. She’s 12 feet tall and weighs more than a truck. How is she going to evade the guards? Look at the doors! She can’t even fit through them! How did she get in the workshop without you noticing?”
“SHUT UP!”
Rambas stomps on the ground, leaving a sizeable indentation. You suddenly remember you’re arguing with a giant rock monster who could squash you like a grape.
“Lumi WILL break us out. She’s smart; maybe she’s found some, I dunno, cloaking device. Maybe she’s got something that makes the robots ignore her! And maybe she went into the workshop from this airlock. The door’s big enough!”
He glares daggers at you. “But I will NOT tolerate you talking about my mate this way. GET OUT, before I smear you against the wall like all the other robots in this godforsaken prison.”
You look at Garnash, but the squat little alien seems lost for words, and eventually seems to side with Rambas. “Well, human, I’ve also met Lumi. I dunno much, but it very much seemed like her… so… I’ll take the chance that she’s bringing backup.”
Under Rambas’s threatening stare, you beat feet.
Looks like if you want their cooperation, you’ll need to locate proof of “Lumi”’s deception… or on the off-chance that she’s not CGI, you’d do well to make friends with someone who can evade the guards as a 12-foot rock monster.
