I cross my thickly-muscled arms and raise an eyebrow.
"That's not the brightest move in the world, buddy. I just want to get off this rock, but if you attack me I'll kill you."
The mouth of the guy behind him drops open in surprise at the sound of you speaking his language. Ain't universal translators grand?
Pickaxe Guy recovers quicker. "What rock? You not standing on rock, you standing on dirt. Crappy dirt, but dirt. Rock different."

Was going to write something about zek and rooster meeting up but they beat me to it.
However, I will say to notice the bloody corpse near him.

"Rock, slang for planet. World. Little fleck of rock floating in infinite space.
I need to get to the surface so I can call my starship for help. And technically I shouldn't be talking to you guys, but I give exactly zero sh*ts about the Prime Directive."
I stick out my hand.
"Nice to meet you, by the way. I'm Three. Nemesis unit designation Three."

He lowers the pickaxe and gingerly accepts the handshake. "Belwar Rockhewer. You're from the surface? Never met anybody from the surface before.
"Hang on. How'd you get past the cave-in?"

Superhuman strength, indestructible bones.
You know a quick way to the surface?
And boy, you look SO much like this character from a Drizzt do'Urden book. Except that Belwar Dissengulp has a pick and a hammer as prosthetic hands, which is badass.
The lava tubes widen out into what might have been a magma chamber once upon a time. You finde a largish herd of cattle-like creatures grazing on fungi and lichens on the floor.
An arrow whizzes by a meter over your head!
:eek: How could you .
I duck down and execute a perfect barrel roll towards the grazing animals utilising their large bodies as cover.
"Excuse me chaps, you appear to have left the safety's off of your bows. I'm completely and honestly unarmed, any chance of a reprieve from the arrows eh?".
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

He blinks at you. "Who's Drizzt Do'Urden? Oh, never mind. Tell you what. I don't personally know how to get to the surface. I'm a miner, I go the opposite direction. But, you give us a hand clearing the cave-in so we can get to the stream for water again, I'll take you to town, get you some food, maybe some beer, and the elders can probably point you in the right direction. Deal?"

You glance at the arrow. If it was any bigger you could put it on a ballista.
A deep voice with an odd accent goes, "I did that on purpose. I didn't have to miss." A heavily muscled, horned humanoid well over two meters tall, with a bow comes around the right-hand end of the herd. A cow moos as he passes and he pats it on the head.
The ground still shakes occasionally but the tremors are further and further apart. One last tremor drops some dirt on your head from the ceiling and then all is quiet.
The roof of the tunnel begins to slope downward into the stream until it is submerged. Looks like it keeps going underwater.

I raise my hands up clearly into the air.
"Wooh, hold up big guy. I come in... Lets go with peace for now eh?".
"You got a way out of here?".

Th'gan, species 8472. 8472 body armor (think psi warrior), fluidic antiproton arm cannon/wrist lance, powerful psionic abilities, and the superhuman abilities provided by being species 8472 (surving vacuum/toxic environments, hyperactive immune system, strength and speed enough to take out multiple Borg with his bare claws, and whatever else I missed.)
Not giving him shapeshifting and such because he's strong enough as is and I see no reason for it. Also skipping on personal shields because of the same reasons. Also makes more sense canonically.
Sure, why not? You tell me what to move and I'll do it.
You and the gnomes (why not call it like it is :P) make short work of the blockage and shore up the cavern with timbers brought in a wagon, and then Belwar leads you through a maze of tunnels that finally opens out into a decent-size cavern.
The place is lit dimly by bioluminescent fungi, and more brightly by flames from burning buildings! The miners start running into the village to look for wounded. With your enhanced senses you can hear the clash of metal on metal.
"Wooh, hold up big guy. I come in... Lets go with peace for now eh?".
"You got a way out of here?".
He doesn't quite seem to believe you, but he releases the tension on his bow, which is easily as tall as you are, and leaves the arrow pointed at the ground.
"Who are you?" he demands.

The smaller Nicor bioship detached from the Undine carrier, sliding out of an TRIBBLE in it's surface like some long pointy baby. Pressing his hand against the slightly squishy surface of the main console, Th'gan piloted it towards the quantum singularity. On the other side of the artificial wormhole there was a planet. It was unremarkable, save for traces of minerals which could be "fed" to bioships to increase their weapons, shields, and speed outputs. As soon as the ship left the singularity, the organs that generate and expel the plasma-like substance that the ship used to propel itself failed, their walls rupturing as unknown radiation penetrated their cells. The ship began to tumble to the surface, and Th'gan managed to catalyze the reaction that turned the cockpit walls in to slightly squishy sacks to absorb the energy of the impact, surviving with only a cracked exoskeleton and some lacerations to his head crest. These repaired themselves in about 2 minutes, and his sliced open the wall of the ship and stepped out into his new surroundings.

"If you put that phaser down I won't use it on you. On the count of three, we both put our weapons down."
Blame the multi-quote function only being able to grab three posts at a time. :rolleyes:

"Lieutenant Johnny J. Johnson, U.S.S. Hiro Nakamura."
*mutters* "Seems like half the captains in Starfleet are Borg these days..."
"How about an alliance? What kind of supplies do you have?"
"Let's see... I've got a medkit, a tricorder, this giant bag of grenades... oh, and some fish guts. You want 'em?"
"Uhh...I'm good."
"Okay."
