Gthar works. Looks mid-aged, maybe 4 months local-time? Looks like a labourer's body, gonna have to say drone.

Good to be in the Bright again.

>Labourer's body
Placing discovery beacons isn't the comfiest way to spend your 5th month in this lonely solar system, but neccessary to be prepared when the reverent Formian arrives.

I'm
>24 six-paired cycles old.

>Arm
I've found it useful to have engineered myself a nerve-spectating exoskeleton arm. Plans are to build a whole set once I'm richer in titanium and positron wares.

>the Bright
We gappians enjoy bright light which surrounds us inside groundhomes and spacecrafts.

>Gappians
When in bright resting places, we are peaceful creative and non-confrontational. Dark and drafty places stress us.

>Spacecraft
I've stationed on this spacecraft for 4 months. There are two other gappians with me. Our tribe rented the spacecraft from another gappian great family that has some sort of ties to Formians in another solar system, where the Formians have previously visited.

Initiate dance, for mirthful reasons

Yes, initiate. Perhaps your companions will enjoy it.

It's lounging time!

Before lounging I perform Ascaleth, the dance I just now improvised for homecoming. Ascaleth represents in my mind the letting go of burdens and restoring a vivid sense of being alive. Altering significantly the mental state, I'm suddenly physically even more streamlined, stress-free, lucid and friendly.

>Gained action: Ascaleth (Friendliness, relief, agility, lucidity)

I'm ready to meet the others in lounge.

I remove all my garments and environmental protections and then I enter the lounge, I see no one else there.

>Good to be Home
Ahh, it's really good to be home after a field day.

I can foam my body, enjoy nutrition, use substances available, those are

>nutrition
>substances
caffeine,
pritalymine- a piloting substance,
traple- a sleep-inducing substance in case of recovering from injury,
gentileple- a substance that is more rare, but pleasurable to use that also has agility and stamina boosting effects for working environments, or for intercourse
istapine, that is a pure medical substance, strong and replenishing. Boosts bug-adrenaline levels and rapidly replenishes chitin structures of the body - this substance is applied on skin.
other minor nutrition-substances like nebula salts, alcohol, sugar, flaris.

>others
I wonder if the others are on the bridge.

Foam your body for hygienic reasons.

No need for any drugs now, but hygiene is very important so cleanse for hygienic reasons.

Then go meet your pals on the bridge. If they’re there that is.

I find my pals on the bridge, greet them and tell that the beacon is in place for the navigators.

"Dust home then?" I ask from the pilot.
"Dust to dust, space it's where I feel most whole in."

The eccentric pilot is a black Gappi-Gappian or true Gappian, also known as the soldier Gappian. I don't know where he comes from, just that he is addicted to piloting and is good at it. According to his own say that I've gotten out of his stubborn person is that he is born in the Great Void. He loves not only to fly, but also to disintegrate enemies. I don't seriously know what to do with him, but to give him a sense of an ongoing mission, where we always have a chance to meet our great many enemies.

That green Gappian is Moluch, he is our technician that keeps us going in space when things malfunction on the craft or anywhere else. He has a ship interface attached to his arms feeding him realtime info on the machines. He comes from a tropical world called Nipiphuur.

Ask for a status update and offer to get snacks while they get that together.

I ask them "What is the status?"

Moluch gives an update. "Gthar, good job. We're heading to home colony. The craft is functioning like a newmade object. Current mission is completed, we're ready to check back at the home colony. Expecting the beacons to transmit gravitonic signal to the awaiting host of the reverent Formian. We may keep the craft or join the Formian's host. Or return the craft to the colony and join the Formian's flagship as handymen and mercenaries without our own flier. We may get more crafts to the colony from the host to supply our own projects in the solar system and get to command and train new crews to them. These are the most probable outcomes of this current endeavour. Good times lie ahead. The Formian should contact us with FTL comms anytime."

I thank Moluch for the nice summary and hurry to get some snacks for us three while they maneuver the ship into orbit.

I find 2 Juicybars and a pouch full of Energizer pills. I take one for myself.

So it’s just a waiting game for now, quickly bring the snacks back and sit back and enjoy the ride.

Approaching homeworld,

Strangeness overwhelms us all. We attempt to hail my hometown, but no response is ever heard through any frequency.

>Scan the home colony
>Wait in orbit for an answer still
>Something else?

Oh lawd we might have a situation. Try one more time in trying to hail someone and if that don’t work move in for a scan.

Try a longer-ranged passive-scan. Just get a read on the atmosphere. Well, at first, if everything checks out, then close in for a comprehensive technology search or whatever. Just... if something is seriously wrong, no need to draw attention to yourself right away.

Me. "Something is not right. Scan the surface! Around our colony!"

Moluch replies "The colony doesn't give off any active or passive signal. The flight control is as if it never existed."

Me. "Does it look like the colony is still there?" I rush to the window when the Sheltered Crater appears in the optronic visuals.

Moluch replies "Looks like it's still there."

>>951778

Me. "Can you scan for passive signals, just turn down any background noise and the ship instruments if they distract. See if anything is around the planet with us? Keep signals down! We don't want to draw any attention to us!"

Moluch. "Yes, We'll go dark now."

the Soldier inquires "Will I then: Float past the colony 1000 bleaks above and not disturb the local gravitonics: Flying engines dead? We b in a semi-stable orbit." (One bleak is approximately 2 miles)

No engines will be a touch risky but go for it, keep the stealth approach going.

We manage to capture this glimpse speeding past the colony.
