Real stroke of luck. Maybe you could compare notes and learn more of the pygmy language, in case you'll be stuck here a while. Then, you could at least visit your unexpected inter-tribal friends. Maybe trade.
Hopefully, that communication idea has some luck, but if not, at least you have someone to talk to as you try to survive.

I have already suggested but I thought I might bring up a point due to the rampant sexual thoughts: Are you well, Koror? Do you have a partner back home? Are you really sure you aren't just a bit 'thirsty'? I'm not going to be the type to just tell you to throw yourself at the random women we've encountered, but due to its intensive presence in what you claim to be your mind, you might want to actually consider forming a positive relationship with someone here. Maybe it will clear the air if we can release some of this pent up tension...

Or I guess you can keep bottling it up and we can deal with this every few seconds.

... it's funny. Even though she's an ams... alien, this girl is so nervous, and communicating it in such a blatant way, that I'm not nearly as weirded out as I thought I would be talking to someone who doesn't have empathy.

>stick your dick in it.
I think I have more important things to focus on right now!

>Where am I
"What is this place?"
>"Well originally it was just an escape pod thing but after I put it underground to hide it I ended up taking out most of the walls to make it bigger which it was kind of designed for anyway so now it's just kind of a living space and it works well enough for that." Escape pod? And there's the bit about hiding again...
"And you've been here for...?"
>"Twelve and a half years ish which is less of a big deal than it sounds like because the equipment in this pod is good enough to keep me going for hundreds of years probably but also kind of a big deal anyway because it's still a really long time to be alone."

... wait, hundreds of years?? ... I put the thought aside for the moment, but...

>About food
"Uh, do you have anything to eat? What do you eat, anyway?"
>"Oh right neumono have to eat pretty frequently don't they well um I can get you some food over in the next room and also since you asked amtsvane eat pretty much anything that's smaller than they are."
"... Uh..."
>"I'm joking I'm joking it's fine. ... I mean I'm not exactly joking because we do but not people or anything geez anyway I have a... what's the word... replicator... thing... it can make food out of organic material and that's what I use to feed myself most of the time."

She turns around and strides into the room behind her.

>"So yeah if you just follow me I'll see about getting you something to eat."

... Following Chen in here really just reinforces how much bigger she is than I am, in a way I only really notice when she's moving. There's a part of me that wants to tear off running and find somewhere to hide, for sure.

>Can I hug you?
So for example I'm not asking that question. ... yet, at least.

Lights come on as soon as Chen steps into the room, which... honestly, it doesn't look all that different from the last one, except there are several large, featureless metal boxes in it, all coming up to her waist or so. She taps on one of these to reveal a compartment with a much smaller box, which she pulls out, sets atop the larger box, and then starts tapping on in turn.

>"I don't know what you like exactly so I'm just going to give you what I gave the other neumono the last time any of them came in here because they seemed really happy with it that's okay right?"
"Sure...?" More tapping.
>"Okay that's set up so I should have something for you soon but what else did you want to ask?" She turns back around to look at me again.

>About the pygmies
"The other neumono on this island... you said they don't want you to learn their language?"
>"They are really protective of it apparently and they figured out very quickly that I was trying to listen for any of it so they started making a point of talking really quietly and as little as possible around me when they're around me which is not often to begin with because they are really wary of me and I guess I can't blame them for that. I don't think they hate me or anything but they do not want me to learn it so even when one of them was actually staying here for a while she would not say any words to me in it at all and I think she even kind of likes me since she learned little bits and pieces of one of the languages I speak and comes and talks to me on the speaker I set up sometimes but not that often since I don't think the other neumono are very happy about it." ... I wonder if she's talking about Murel.
"What else do you know about them?"
>"Not very much except that they are very small for neumono! And I think you probably already knew that too."
"Do you know why the queen would have sent me to you?"
>"... not exactly but I have tried to tell them as best I can that I'm always willing to help them and maybe that message got through and they decided you were something that they wanted my help with?"

>Getting home
Right, yeah, I need to focus.
"So you have... a whole bunch of technology here."
>"Y... yeah?" She immediately looks more nervous, for some reason.
"And you mentioned picking up broadcasts."
>"Yeah it's how I know your language and stuff."
"Can you, uh, help me get home? Or at least let me contact my hive?"
>"I... um..." She pauses for quite some time, closing her eyes briefly. "... it's probably not what you want me to say exactly but I have to be able to trust you first."
"Uh, what?"
>"I don't want you to..." She trails off. "Look I'll explain it later but I promise I'll help you as soon as I feel like I can trust you okay?"

... Well, I'll let it go for a moment.

>Teleporter? Escape pod?
>Hiding but wanted company?? What?
"So, wait. If you got here in a teleporter accident, how were you able to pick this island? And what was that about an escape pod?"
>"I... we... the whole research station got teleported and then I... had to use the escape pod later... because of... things."
"And you said you were desperate for company, but you deliberately picked an island in the middle of nowhere to settle on? That doesn't make any sense."
>"Look I..." Another pause. "Hey your food is almost done can we talk about something else?"

And I thought neumono were bad at hiding things.

... At the same time, maybe it's not a good idea to provoke her right now.

She's probably space-wanted by space-police. Or she stole something from the research station.

How about you just eat some food and offer to play a board game or something with her. She has entertainment stuff here, right?
>>
No. 778613 ID: 65ec8d

Ok, ask her if she's sure the neumono specifically didn't want her to learn their language, or if they maybe just thought that she wouldn't be able to and wanted her to stop trying? Because, tell her this, she should know by now neumono are a little bit psychic with each other, and a lot of their native languages especially need that empathic reading to provide context. Like there are probably a bunch of words that could each mean lots of things and without having empathy herself she'd never be able to say them in a way that the neumono can actually tell what she's talking about.

Also, even if she doesn't want you leaving the island yet, you're going to assume she wouldn't mind you talking to the pygmies again at some point? Like not right away that'd be rude you'd still talk to her, but if you hung around with the pygmies maybe they'd let you learn their language, or they could pick up yours, and she'd have more people to talk to. Even just hanging around with them for a while would improve things because over time you'd learn to read their empathy better, and them yours, and become able to understand a lot even without learning the language.

Tell her that you're just glad right now that she's friendly, you don't have to talk about this anymore. You just got shot down out of the blue, you can understand being a bit paranoid around this island.

Shes' probably an escapee from the research station, which could possibly still be up and running and the guys who shot us down maybe?

No. 778665 ID: fe7355

Ask Chen how come nobody noticed this research station or her escape pod falling to the surface. Even twelve years ago it was long enough since Neumono's uplift that there'd be radar stations and surveillance satellites monitoring the planet. Especially those of the ultrahives to watch out for possible incoming nuclear ICBMs from each other. A UFO popping up on their screens out of nowhere would have brought an investigation, first into whether they had faulty equipment, then to where the UFO went.

Hey, wait... If she chose this island in particular for its remoteness, that probably means her escape pod did some form of visual mapping or sensor scan of the planet. And that means she likely has a map of the entire ocean, or at least a good chunk of it, and all the islands, including your home island and the place you bought the hovercraft from. Which means you could possibly figure out where you were shot down, based on the hovercraft's cruising speed, the time from when you left to when you were shot down and the presumption the autopilot took a straight line path back. And once you have the general area you were shot down in, you can find the nearest island and that's probably where the missile was launched from. ...Unless it was launched from a submarine or underwater base, but leave those possibilities on the shelf for now. Ask Chen if she has any maps of the planet, specifically the greater area around this island.

Oh, and you ought to tell Chen that you were shot down out of the blue by a guided missile while flying a used anti-grav hovercraft your hive had just purchased back to them. No idea who did it or why. You think it might have been someone that really didn't want to risk anybody noticing they were out here. ...Like Chen. ...Uh oh. Um. Don't jump to any conclusions, alright.
>>
No. 778689 ID: 211d83

Maybe the pygmies are hiding there language because they work for the missile people and want to keep it hidden from big space lady here.

She probably has some sort of trauma in her past and is worried about you telling people about her if you leave.

Or even more sinister idea:

She knows if you go back home that people will eventually find out about her so she can never let you leave. The missile was sent by a enemy so that no one can ever rescue her. You will spend years trying to win her trust and slowly find out that you are trapped here. By that time you will have gone rogue and will spend all your time trying to regain your happiness by fucking pygmies.
>>
No. 778701 ID: db0da2

>>778610
Well that's shady as fuck. Overlook it for now, getting her to trust us seems like a necessary prerequisite to getting home.

Maybe the pygmies think she's a salikai? Presumably they've been isolated on this island for quite some time but not forever, and I think it'd be obvious if a salikai was hiding here, so they might have some really old vague stories about giant green smart things that will trick you if you let them.
>>
No. 778922 ID: d36af7

Can that replicator (or other available tools) make a replacement aircraft, comparable to the one that got shot down? Maybe with even some basic ECM, or a little point defense turret, just in case? It'd basically be toy-sized for her.
>>
No. 780475 ID: ce3dad

Maybe we can turn this around pretty quickly? She says she wants to trust us, so change the topic. Try to learn more about her. Find out what she likes to talk about. Comment on her size if you feel it would be a good ice breaker!

As a trust-building exercise, offer to seduce the pygmies into teaching you their language and gather information for Chen.

Seduction optional, no it isn't but it seems like Chen values information and she might appreciate a chance to learn stuff about the outside world, given how nervous she seems to be.

Even if that's true, it seems like it would be a really bad idea to accuse her of that right now!

>Don't press the issue, if only to keep things comfortable.
>Why not just chill for a while and enjoy the company? We can poke at her past later.
Yeah, it's probably the right call to just move on for now. It's not like it really matters that much to me why she's here, right?

>Did they shoot you down?
... Oh, right.

I would really like to ask this but that would be pretty much the opposite of dropping it. Still, I have to be sure to bring it up as soon as it seems like she trusts me even a little, because that's one question I probably do need to know the answer to.

"... uh, sure."
>"Okay. Chtelki. Thank you." She's very visibly relieved. I don't think she could be telegraphing this any more if she tried.

>More questions
Still got plenty of those!

>the door
"How do you get out of here? That door looked way too small."
>"Oh um there are other doors I just put that exit in later in the hopes that maybe the pygmies would use it which didn't exactly work out."
>"I could probably fit through it without breaking it too much. I think."

>what do you do
"You said you'd been here for twelve years? What have you been doing all this time?"
>"Um... watching broadcasts I pick up... reading... building stuff sometimes... trying to interact with the neumono, lately... ... honestly it's been really despairingly lonely and I'm glad you're here."
>"Um I mean I'm not glad you got shot with a missile or whatever! Just to have someone to talk to for a while."

That was less of an answer than I was expecting.

>pygmy language
"So... the neumono here didn't want you to learn their language? Are you sure?"
>"They definitely started talking way less suddenly and it wasn't long after I started trying to listen for it so I don't know what else it could be or how I'd find out!"
"I mean, neumono have this... empathy thing..."
>"Look I've seen a bunch of neumono media so trust me I know all about that."
"Oh."

There's kind of a pause, during which she just sort of looks at me, a little puzzled.

>salikai
"Maybe they think you're a salikai?"
>"I... wait did you think I was a salikai?"
"I mean... you're way too big... but... kind of?"
>"Oh."

Another awkward pause.

>replicate an aircraft
"So could you make me an aircraft with that replicator so I can get home? Maybe with some kind of defenses?"
>"Um... I'd have to come up with a design for it first since I don't think I have one, but I would probably be able to do that since I kinda know my way around that sort of thing. I mean it'd take a while and there'd have to be testing and stuff to make sure I give you something that actually works and won't crash into the ocean or whatever."
>"... But um I'd want to be sure I could trust you before I did something like that!"

Yep, there it is again.
>Perhaps I could woo you over a romantic dinner for two?
Why am I even having this idea? I don't even know how exactly I would go about dating a neumono outside my hive, let alone a giant neurotic alien.
>Comment on her size if you feel it would be a good ice breaker!
If I completely run out of ideas, maybe. For all I know she's sensitive about it.
>I mean, who wouldn't want to sleep curled up in someone's hands?
I have immediate mixed feelings about this.

I don't think I can really just walk up and ask her "how do I get you to trust me" or whatever. That just seems weird.

>offer to seduce the pygmies into teaching you their language
Uh, I don't think I could do that even if I thought it would work.

Still...

"Um... you don't mind me going back and talking to the other neumono again, right?"
>"Why wouldn't I want you to do that? I mean maybe they'll actually trust you eventually and I'll be able to understand them better or maybe you'll even convince them they don't need to be afraid of me or something! ... But um since they deliberately sent you here for whatever reason maybe you should stay here for a while first, like until tomorrow or something."

Spending a night with the lonely alien does not sound bad. Be friends with her and earn some trust.

Later on if we need press the issue of you getting home you can casually mention how much you miss your hive and how much work everyone put into earning enough money to buy that shuttle.

How being away from a hive long enough can make a guy go rogue and be miserable for the rest of his days.

For the moment avoid that sort of stuff but keep it handy if needed. If she is telling the truth there is someone else who has missiles around here you need to deal with before you can leave easily. And the local pygmy tribe might be up to something as well.

Thank her and start having a nice conversation. Over dinner, ask what sort of stuff she listens to and reads, mention your simulation hobby, request to be her combination pillow and sex toy, and ask if she has any games or whatever you can play together. You know, get to know her in general. She could probably use the company, learning about her will be useful, and who knows, she might end up being your type.

No. 792874 ID: 51649e

Say ok, and sorry that for your worries, but if she's been watching neumono media she must know you're on sort of a time limit. A pretty long one but still. And you'd at least like your hive to have a clue that you're not dead? It can be some mystery note in a bottle thing that doesn't give anything else away if she likes, just something. I mean, she must have had some people who she'd have liked to let know she was ok?

Which is odd considering she's an extra-dimensional alien, you'd assume you'd have a harder time understanding her. Unless she isn't actually from another dimension and was created here with neumono body language and expressions in mind, which would be an explanation that didn't break our current understanding of physics.

Ask if there's someplace more comfy than these metal and stone rooms that you can relax at.
