"Tch, must be early spaceflight then if they don't know the common traders tongue. Then again they wouldn't need it for a base like this, not unless they wanted to bring in specialists from offworld." As she muses about itas she moves to take a brief look in the cafeteria, through the stench of rotting food put her off pretty quickly as she went to go investigate the infirmary, maybe there was something in there she could use to give Harlock a boost of energy.

As she went into the Infirmary she finds a human in a suspended tank. "Another human like me?" She was pretty curious about this person suspended in liquid. Moving closer she looks to see if she can make any sense of the readouts and check if this person was alive. Though she didn't think it was possible, this place seemed dead when they all got here.

Sephus take another quick look around him, still in awe of his surroundings. "I don't know if I have the words for it. There are few sites in this galaxy that have left me speechless like this." He says smiling down at her, though he already starts looking around. Wondering where the both of them could go first and start off their little adventure.

The machinery, as far as Filia could tell, indicated the man was indeed alive. A heartbeat, perhaps a little slow, beat across the screen. Seems like they had been put into stasis for some reason. Though the language differences reared their ugly head again, as Filia could not read any of the notes or conditions of the patient. Only a name, Elise Stanislavovna. The woman floating in the suspension tank was wearing a sort of protective suit, but IV units and a breathing apparatus were plugged into her nose and mouth. Though, as everything came online a red light began flashing on the heart monitor. What Filia could read was “Уровни анастезии критически важны, неотложное оживление подлежит“ and thus bubbles in the tank started emanating from the woman suspended in it. She slowly twitched, and opened her eyes. But quickly enough Filia saw her struggling, the woman couldn’t breath! She squirmed in the tank, banging on the glass.

Liline started walking the main streets, slowly exploring the cobblestone and crowded streets, eventually jesting to Sephus, “don’t get any ideas for ditching me for one of these... rather well built women.” She halfheartedly let out a laugh, watching a woman nearly two heads taller than each of them, and easily putting Sephus to shame in the physical strength department stroll by. The woman was wearing a tophat that sat at an angle on her head, a grey wool suit, black bow tie tied loosely and left to hang down her chest. She wore a kilt, then tall socks and a pair of black oxfords. Her arms and legs were rippling with muscle, though her face was plump in the cheeks. While this woman was by far an outlier, there were many physically capable among the ranks of the tartan and suit sporting women, and the occasional man who strolled these streets.

But a little while later, Liline came to a small rustic shop. The sign above the door read “Isabelle Livingstone Traditional Craftsmen of Biologically Integrated Clockworks. EST 6708.”
Liline seemed to get a little nervous as she approached the door of this small shop, tucked away on the alleys of the larger avenues. “Well, I may have... not been entirely truthful with you, dear. I’ve come to Cadhainn to get a new arm from the most respectable craftsman.”
