Ethan froze when he heard the voice behind him. It was a strange tongue, nothing that he could recognize... Slowly turning about, his face drained of color, the handful of earth and grass falling from his hands. The being perched on top of his drop pod was like nothing he had ever seen. The swishing tail was the first thing to draw his attention, covered in... was that<span style="font-style: italic">purple</span>fur?! The female's hands were equipped with a set of sharp looking nails, almost claw like in their appearance. As he quickly looked her over, he finally spotted her ears. They were long, and stuck up and out of her head like a cat or dog's. As she spoke to him again, he caught a glimpse of a sharp set of pointed teeth, which made him even more nervous. Just how long had she been there watching him? What was she planning, what was she saying?<br/>His heart pounding, Ethan decided that he was not going to simply stand in the open and wait to find out.<br/><br/>The strange tail-less man bolting back to his pod. Standing at the entrance, he tore the lid off of a large container set into the wall beside the big one that he had come out of, seizing a pair of small and black metallic objects before backing out to face her. The object he held in his right hand had a sort of boxy shape to it, gripping it by a handle that was attached at the bottom. It also had a loop that he put his index finger through, as well as a round hole in the front. The second was a smaller box, rectangular in shape, which he slammed inside of the handle he was gripping. His free hand then grabbed the top of the first boxy thing, and slid the hole top half backward toward him. There was all sorts of clicks and clacks, and it slid forward again on it's own. What ever this device was, the creature now held it up, pointing the end with the hole right at her head.
