Of Alien and Men - Act I

[Shaddi]

Marcus's grin was still there as he eyed La'kuss. 'Oh she's on the edge... poor thing~♪' He thought as he looked towards the doctor once more. "IF you are telling the truth then why not show us the proof of your innocence now? Why wait for the members of the board if you are in fact innocent." He said as he let what he had said hang in the air a bit before he finished. "Or are you simply using that as a stall tactic to hide what you've really been doing?" At that he flicked the cigar over a black cylindrical container he had pulled out of his jacket's inner pocket to let the ash drip into.

Noticing the sudden change in the rooms emotional climate due to La's frustration, Olan steps forward, interjecting like she had once before. Nearly cliping off her last sentence as he began. But had to hold off as Marcus spoke up first, going quiet he nodded. And then spoke. "A investigation or a walkthrough of your farmsteads would be a good beginning." Jumping on the doctors offer, even though it wasn't a direct one.

"Sooner we get eyes on the actual process and what you are doing, the sooner-I believe-we can return to our daily lives, and move past this ongoing debacle."

"I do not see how I can prove innocence by simply showing you my pockets and giving you my word, as many of you seem to disregard anything I say already. The most I can offer is what I already have. You are all welcome to the village, or those you see fit for traveling there. If there are anymore concerns after your visit, then I can be summoned here without much question." Lacing his gloved hands over the tip of his cane, the Doctor stared at the members of the room. Some more hostile than others, some in different ways.

"I have to agree with Olan on this, while I am edgy about what your true intentions are for this planet, I don't see a way we can get anywhere without seeing what you are and have been doing all along." Slowly uncrossing her arms, she looked about, then quickly went for the refreshments to stock up for the journey. "I'm going to get ready for the travel as we wrap this first meeting up, anyways. I expect you to bring someone to escort us?"

With that Marcus clapped his hands as he stood up and grinned even more widely. "Well then what are we waiting for?~♪" He half sang at the end. The players had played right into his hands and that was the reason for his cheerfulness.

The young merc nodded his head a few times, starting to look like a bobble toy now. Eyeing the Doctor, Marcus and La in turn. Turning slowly towards the door now as it seems they are leaving. Atleast to him. Not bothering to gorge on the food, like La-or stock up-he had something else on his mind other than food. This situation he was in was taking all the brainpower he had.

Olan raised a brow and chuckled at Marcus' reaction. "You sound like someone who just won the galactic lottery."

The Doctor watched the beings go about their business. Before long, he reached up and simply turned off the lights to his eyes, going back to look like a lifeless doll of a crow.

La'kuus on the other hand had the good idea of rushing out of the building to go about on the search sooner than expected. She didn't need no darn guide, the farmers could help!

Looking at Olan, Marcus smiled. "Well it's not far from it in away." He said simply as he stepped away from the chair and then out the door, killing his cigar into the black cylinder and closing it in the process.

((What did you have in mind?))

Olan still looked a bit quizzical about the response Marcus gave. But filed it away as some sort of quirk. The man himself seemed right off so far, and there was no need to delve deeper for the Merc. Letting Marcus through first, he turned back towards the open doorway to see the doctor turn off his eye-lights.

Noticing the other of the group, La'kuus, had taken off already ahead of them he nodded his head in the general direction. "She's looking to get to the bottom of this all on her own it seems."
