Nicolai: *comes out later* Good morning. *despite it being afternoon.*

*They'll ask how he's been doing the past several days, how's Aren, just get to know him...also start getting more on what the world is like, where people are, how they survive, etc . . . they'll gladly greet Nicolai when he joins them again*

Terris: *will fill them in, and promises they'll have new weapons soon too*

Nicolai: Is Mitham still working? *nods at the barn*

Deckard: *shakes his head with a small frown of concern* He said he was going to get some food and rest. He wasn't in the trailer?

Nicolai: *also frowns* No, he wasn't...

Terris: *also frowns* I'd like to go look for him. *will shift to be put down...or if Duke wants to carry him over he's cool with that too*

Duke: *puts him down*

PJ: Maybe he decided to get some more work done after all. Kid's been going practically nonstop as it is.

Deckard: */frowning/* We know we have enemies. We can't risk it. Terris, Nicolai, please check the trailer. Duke, Gunmax, Shadowmaru, the barn. Build Team, with me – we'll scan the grounds and perimeter.

Team: *salutes!* Roger! *the Braves move off to their assignments*

	Terris and Nicolai head off from the group to check the trailer. Mitham isn't in the barn, isn't in the trailer, isn't anywhere. Maru will find evidence of a scuffle and a bit of blood not too far from the trailer. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Maru: over the comms Deckard, Little-Boss is gone. I've found a trail. Deckard: Follow it! Maru: already shifting to dog form On it, danna! sniffs around and starts off Deckard: Duke, McCrane, back him up. D/McC: Roger! move to follow at a distance (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The trail will lead into a cave. Maru will be able to get in, but the other two are a bit too big to follow. Maru will also be rather sure he's tracking a Vorian...Won't have to go too far in to see something moving. A Vorian is kneeling over Mitham, the boy is unconscious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vorian: *is trapped, only way out is back past Maru. He reaches down and softly touches Mitham's head. Vorians are tall creatures, compared to humans anyway. This one is a little shy of nine feet tall. His arms are long and thin, muscular, but thin. The race is lanky looking anyway, looking stretched with thin bodies, and elongated limbs. They also have a number of tentacle like limbs on their backs, usually between six and ten. This one has six. It doesn't seem to have noticed Maru there yet.*

Vorian: *squirms a little...he nods and gives a bit of a shrug. Not surprised by the robots, surprised to be caught* *and...he'll take a moment to attempt to communicate. After fifty years on Earth Vorian have learned the native languages, or most have, though the human languages are hard for Vorian to produce.

*Terris and Nicolai will question Zir for the next hour. Nicolai starts this time rather harsh, though he never makes a move to draw his weapon, and as things go on he'll start to soften. Terris remains neutral throughout, also never reaching for a weapon. Zir... had become friends with a human girl, his "voice". Her name was Lira. As he became more attached to her the more he hated what his people were doing to Earth and the humans here. When he tried bringing his concerns to his mentor he found himself arrested, and Lira killed. He was accused of treason and was to be executed. He escaped, and has been on the run, at first from other Vorian, but then from Humans as well. The last time he escaped capture the police captain said that leaving Zir to be killed by the humans he'd come to care about would be a fitting end, that so long as he never entered a city again he would not be hunted by his own again. It's...it's been a hard three months. He can't blame the humans he's come across for being afraid or hostile towards him, but then he saw the robots, and saw the boy, and children are easier to talk to than adults, so...so he was going to try to talk to Mitham, see if the boy was part of the Resistance, and see if he could...perhaps join them... By the end of the hour Zir's throat sounds raw, the words even more grating than before. It really /is/ hard to speak human languages, it's why they....use humans as their voices here.*

*It's not their place to speak, really, so none of the Braves will participate in the interrogation, at least not unless invited to. If they are, they'll add questions of their own – mostly Deckard, Duke, and McCrane.*
McC: *once the interrogation seems to be wrapped up, he'll comment quietly…kind of to himself, but also directed at Terris and Nicolai (in case any further push might be needed)* The story's not so different from Earth history already tells over and over. How many times has one country or one group of humans overtaken another's lands and enslaved its people, and then individuals of the conquering group begin to side with those they've conquered. We Brave Police have already proven that one doesn't have to be human to be able to display "human" emotions and thought patterns, including attachments and opinions.

Terris: *nods* I believe him. Making him part of the Resistance will be challenging, though. There are those that will wish him dead because of what he is, never caring to take the time to know who he is.
Nicolai: *nods* It will not be easy. *has gotten some water and will bring it to Zir.... it's the first time either man has gotten within reach of him*
Zir: *looks up (he's sitting) and accepts the cup, starting to speak*
Nicolai: Don't speak, it's clear you've overworked your throat already. Just drink.
Zir: *gives a grateful nod and will drink*
Mitham: ...Maybe people will more readily accept him if he shows up with the Brave Police? So many have hoped to have the Brave Police back, it might help...

Deckard: *nods* I think there is no one better to speak for him than us. We spent our entire existence before the Vorians came wanting to be accepted for /who/ we are in spite of what we are. Nicolai, you might remember some of that. We're not human any more than Zir is. Why would the Resistance accept us and not him, if they are basing their judgment based on reputation? *he knows the answer – it's a rhetorical question*
