iratus | First Culling - [Action / Voice]

[It's been two days since the wraith first arrived in Luceti. His confusion at his new surroundings (and wings) had left him bewildered. But he had avoided the human dwelling, scouting the area, learning about his situation. Under the cover of darkness, he had retrieved his belongings- a long black coat and his stun weapon. A thorough read through the journal appraised him of the situation. This morning, he took his first victim in secret. The body was promptly taken care of and hidden where it wouldn't be found. He would need to be less careless if he was to survive here for long. Once the population determined what he was doing, they'd turn on him in a moment.

There had been unexpected consequences to his feeding and he found himself in an almost euphoric mood. He had never experienced anything like this before. He was enjoying himself, in fact. The logical side of him recognized it as being problematic. Unsettling. Wrong. Yet he couldn't find himself too concerned with it. He would need to familiarize himself with the village. Today was as good as any other. So, strolling through the village is a tall, pale humanoid dressed in a black longcoat. ~~No, Sephiroth and his clones aren't back.~~ He will be in the general store and smithy inspecting the items, as well as the library perusing the various books for information. He seems to be in good spirits as he strolls around the village, but at all times he seems to be incredibly at ease. In control of the situation.

Later, he chooses to introduce himself. Better to present himself as friendly then to skulk in the shadows. He speaks in an unusual, alien voice. Despite its oddness, he sounds amicable and peaceful.]

I believe it is customary for 'New Feathers' to make themselves known to the village. Not an unusual custom, but I suppose most first introductions are associated with some measure of panic and worry. However, I believe I have already made myself adequately comfortable with the conditions here in this village. I will ask a question instead. Who among you are familiar with the Stargate? I understand on the planet Earth it is a highly guarded secret, so I will not be surprised if none of you are aware of it. Perhaps there might even be others such as myself, space faring people. Not that such knowledge is of use on this forsaken planet, but there might be information we could share.

[In the evening, he will return to the forest. He is not entirely comfortable staying in the village at the mercy of so many humans. Not when he can keep to himself. He'll just have to try and find some acceptable living arrangements. Perhaps one of the New Feather stations, for yet another night.]

I would be very surprised if they were. ...After all, no ships known to my galaxy can venture into Gray Space.

What would this 'Gray Space' be?

Ah- Our term for the void which exists outside the galaxy's edge.

[~~Or at least I'm assuming from context in the Kkore info but sue me~~]

Our hive ships do not possess the power necessary for so long a journey. [Which was resolved by one of his lieutenants, but that Hive is no more.] There are, however, other races who have managed it. The humans from Earth have, though they did not create the technology themselves.

[Humans. Seriously. humans. Goooosh] Most impressive. From whom did humans get this technology?

That information still eludes me.

Regrettable. Even from my own.. brief. Association with humans, I would be quite curious to know that myself.

How would you describe that association?

[...Irritant but he's not a public network so] Isolated and perplexing. I have only ever encountered one human in my time, and her has proved to be alarmingly resourceful, deathly cunning, and yet... at the core an unflatteringly ignorant being.

[He chuckles at that.]

Certainly an apt description, for those I have encountered. Especially those who hail from the planet, Earth.

Crichton- the one with which I am familiar is from Earth. Displaced to my part of space. Quite a feat, without a stargate. By my calculations it would take over sixty cycles to make it to "Earth" conventionally.

Yet you are in the same galaxy as Earth? [It would suggest that their hyperdrive technology is not as advanced as the Wraith's.]

We are- quite distant, but within the galaxy.

Is your species interstellar?

[Wow that's rude]

Obviously.

Without stargates and limited hyperdrive technology, then. [He 'hmms' at that, realizing how rude it is. But not too concerned about that.]

So it would seem. Stargates, at least, are quite... alien. To my ears.

And yet you have shown more interest than anyone else. I would imagine it's reasonable to assume you're a scientist of some kind.

[Inhale] It would be reasonable... and correct. For more than a cycle now I have been committed to research on wormholes.

Intriguing. And just how far have you progressed?

Prior to my ... arrival [And John blowing up the Command Carrier] He had gained a significant understanding in the natural formation of wormholes, and using that information were able to send ships into it. [the pilots melted, but]

It is the human's research, then?

No. [But that's an interesting leap] It is my own.

But it is his understanding of wormholes that you use, is it not?

An understanding locked within his mind, not even comprehended by him personally.
