Sofia stepped back as well. But strangely instead of looking at the creature, her eyes were admiring Juliettes cool pose. "Sweet" she said under her breath. Then back to the creature. "Yea, its got muscle movement all over and, that's not postmortem muscle contractions either. I'd get it in a specimen cage as quick as possible. I thought you knew that."

Hu was barely shaken by the sight of the beast, but jumped back from it when Juliette yelled, having not seen anything that indicated it would still be alive. He drew his blaster and made ready to blast the damn thing some more if it surged to life.

OOC,I presume you mean that you're pointing your blaster at the alien, [b]Juliette[/b]. [b]Robert[/b] is a human security officer, and he wouldn't like it if you targeted him. Nor would the colonel. ;)

Edward put the alien down on the floor of the airlock and backed away from it with trepidation and disgust.

"Don't kill it unless it attacks," said Colonel Patel. "We want it alive. The intel we can get from it could prove invaluable, and it may be useful as a hostage. They have one of our people - now we have one of theirs." She tapped the intercom on the airlock's control panel and spoke into it. "Medical lab, this is Colonel Patel. The creature we are bringing in is still alive!"

The creature began buzzing in a dull monotone, though it was definitely speaking English. "We come in peazzze..." it said, weakness evident in its voice.

"Hu'che," Hu spits at the being. "If it came in peace, why did they take Lt. Colonel Bruce? And what happened to the crew of the Persephone?"

As Edward put the creature down, Juliettes aim moved with the creature. Edward no longer in the line of fire Juliette turned up the power on her blaster. "Well Ma'am, no disprespect, but the moment it uses its fuzzy mind thing I am blasting it to smithereens. They have this power, it is really eery. It gets into your head, tries to bend your thoughts..." Juliettes voice trailed off, there was an unusual timbre to it. A mix between hatred and fear. The look in her eyes though were icecold. And her arm steady, her aim locked at the head of the creature. " And besides, the only thing it knows in human speech is the sentence "We come in peace", maybe it learned that from the crew on the Persephone, at they're initial meeting? The only thing they got to say?"

Mr handy,Her aim were at the creature in Edwards arms, but it could very well be seen upon as she pointed at the Lt. himself. You decide. Had to put some recklessness in to fit the character, she is just to a little to heroic..

Sofia steps behind Juliette. She tries to look over her shoulder, but she's a bit too short. So the private looks under her arm at the creature.

Juliette Desjardins,Oh, I see. I was confused because you said [b]Robert[/b] earlier, who had nothing to do with it.

"We'll soon find out," said Indira Patel. She drew her own sidearm, a 9mm automatic. Robert MacCrimmon drew a similar weapon, and Lt. Edward Barrett pulled his .45 automatic. All of them aimed their guns at the creature as well. "Stand up, slowly. Try anything and we'll destroy you. You're coming with us."

The alien obeyed, dragging itself upright with difficulty. "I will come with you," it buzzed.

The colonel, with her free hand, cycled the airlock. The other end opened onto the tunnel leading back to the central module. "All right, let's move out."

"Well that's not something you see every day," Sofia pipes in. "Oh and it said something different. It seems to have a good grasp of our language, probably the psych thing."

Juliette snorted. "Well, it will not use it's weird psychic thing on me again...!" She kept her aim at the aliens head and continued:" The sooner this thing is contained the better." Juliette's mind raced as she thought about her encounters with the creatures. Soon she needed her mind crystal clear and it was not so at present. But she new how to remedy that. "I really look forward to get out of this suit and freshen up."

Colonel Patel led the group through the tunnel, across the central module, and along the tunnel to the laboratory module. Once there, they split up and went their separate ways, with Lt. Hu and Sofia heading for the astrophysics lab while the others went to the medical lab.
