7.1 Over-watch Boredom

Standing over watch the team can communicate with the others. But it still leaves a little to be desired when things are taking so long. If it was not for the radio contact with the others you would have rushed in by now. But the real awkward moment happens when after about an hour a giant werewolf like creature approaches you on the roof you are stationed on. Carrying a box that is large enough to require effort to hold the creature says in a gravely voice, not quite fluent in Trade 6. "Grandma was worried you would grow hungry or inpatient. She asked this heat cell, and food items be delivered to keep you comfortable while you wait."

BIG EDIT
Stealth rolls at -4 (to offset the security system) would allow those on over watch to not be found unless they wanted to.

Hand on the trigger, Sa'Maku warily watches the creature approach. No need to fire, but no need to trust it either. When it offers food the Seljuk is immediately suspicious, "Thank You. Place the box on the ground slowly and open it so I can take a look."

With that he steps way back under cover.

Inside the box seems to be exactly what is promised. The creepiness of it, like a peace offering at the most inappropriate location and timing is still very unsettling.

What is the matter with this Grandma old lady and her security. Something about it just wrings strange in Sa's mind, yet familiar. Then the creature bows. "As you wish warrior, I was not sent to harm you."

The food, the name, the feel of everything forces Sa'Maku to recall the tales of his world before magic was closed off forever. Old Women in the jungles, offering trade: help with what you want in exchange for their own needs. Whatever deals entered into with these strange creatures always had strings attached. Negotiating with one always seemed to entail more than was bargained for. Looking at the food, he diecides not to accept, instead he addresses the delivery creatures: "please give the lady our thanks for her hospitality but we are not hungry. Please take the food to someone who can benefit from it."

Keying his radio he contacts the negotiation team, "Enter negotiations carefully friends. This creature is a powerful deal maker, there will be unintended consequences."

The more they talk, the more information coming over the radio to Sa'Maku, the more it reminds @Sa’Maku of the silly tales told to children about the Crone of the Wood. But no, this feels more than a fairy tale. the conflicting rumors, the conflicting stories. The hybrids of living and inanimate, too many things are aligning. But how could The Old Lady be here on this world. She was an ancient fairy tale from a thousand years ago on his home world.

Being of elvish descent, Kharis is not unfamiliar with tales of the fae, so he is unsurprised when @Sa’Maku sends Grandma's servant away with the food. Even so, he raises an eyebrow at his friend. "You know something about our friend, Sa?"

"On my world, before we closed off all magic, the jungle ladies made deals with the Seljuk. Promises of power, wealth. or even just a little help. These deals were always twisted and ended badly for those who were unprepared. These sisters fled with the magic, spread into cultures across the galaxies. We should not enter into any bargains lightly - and assume they will have strings attached."

Kharis unconsciously grips Silverspike more tightly. "Well... crap. Do we need to go down there, Sa? Did you get any response from the team?"

He eyes the compound, looking for the hundredth time for a weak spot in the defenses.

Rinoa keeps on eye on her side of the ship. Over the radio to the over watch, "Seems to be all quiet on this side, anything happening with anyone else?"
