HK: Statement: Affirmative. According to his report the aliens didn't speak at all and instead used recorded versions of the Enterprise's messages that were altered in order to communicate. Its possible this is their written language on the console but it also means interrogating one of those... Shroom Heads isn't likely to get us any information. We might be able to translate the console into a more familiar language but doing so might alert the base. Given enough time I might be able to interface with the computer and simply learn the language but it could take a while.

Serah: *she laughs* I didn't really have any kind of rivalry like you two have.

*HK waits patiently and elevator music begins to play as the turbolift goes all the way down to the lower floors opening up to a room filled with a strange gas on the floor and crates for storage*
Mila: Doesn't rivalry imply we had a mutual competition?
Karen: Oh, you mean you didn't enjoy the TRIBBLE-kickings you gave me?
Mila: I didn't say that. *Smiles teasingly.*
*Daemon Base. Tara quickly raises her arm to cover her mouth and nose, holding her tricorder out to scan the gas.*

Serah: I'm sure Karen gave you a fair share of butt kickings.
Tara: Oh, you're kidding me...
*She compares the readings to Fiona's Fazon readings.
Tora Ziyal. Mila smiles.*
Mila: If by 'fair share', you mean none!
*Karen rips off her glove and throws it at her, Mila laughing.*

*There is some similarities to Fazon but Fazon is more of a parasitic nature and these fungal spores don't seem to affect humanoids on their own. Its possible that they might be a side effect of something with the main fungus itself but where as Fazon gas was lethal to unshielded humanoids this gas is mostly harmless.*

*Serah laughs too*
Serah: come now don't make too much of a mess.
*Tara slowly lowers her arm and hurries through the corridor.
Tora Ziyal.*
Karen *teasing*: Of her face? I won't.
*Mila throws Karen's glove back at her.*
Mila *teasing*: You got that right, K!
*Mila laughs, before Karen snarls and pounces on top of her, the two laughing as they roll across the floor.*

*HK follows after her. At the end of the storage corridor there's a door to another room. The room is wide and long with rows of capsules lining the walls each one filled with fungal residue from something but none of them appear to be in use. More Elachi are interacting with consoles, silent and oblivious to the world*
***
Serah: careful you two. *she giggles and moves out of the way so she doesn't get knocked over*
*Tara looks around discreetly, trying to avoid being noticed while looking for a way forward.*
Tara *quietly*: What are these things...?
*Tora Ziyal. Mila quickly pins Karen down and gets off of her, the two calming down, smiling at each other almost like two sisters with a competitive streak.*

*Serah smiles happily as she sees the two having fun together*
***
*HK gets some scanning of the capsules but there's no visual indication of what the tubes are for. There's two doors out of the room and the Elachi completely ignore them, as if they not only don't inspect intruders but likely don't expect anyone to interrupt them at all. as they move around a Daemon walks out of one of the two doors and walks over to an Elachi on a console*
Daemon: Got some new orders from Command. Start searching sector 729 for anomalies. Someone caught wind of an artifact there. *she looks at the Elachi and shakes her head* Yes yes don't worry you'll have more recruits soon enough I know its been a while since we brought some in for you. Gotta remember what the master says, can't do too many too often or we'll get noticed. *A strange noise comes from the Elachi and the Daemon sighs* Fine I'll check the environmental settings too, I know you like it damp and cold. *she begins walking out of the room*
*Tara's lungs are starting to itch and she feels the need to cough to relieve them*
Rotek walks in
Rotek: what's on your mind.
Osman: nothing more so then normal.
*Tara tries to clear her throat quietly.
Tora Ziyal. Karen looks at Serah, smiling.*
Karen: You feeling better?

Serah: A lot better. Thank you both.
