“— all the paperwork I just went over.”

As we keep walking through the hallway, she hands me a huge stack of forms. This has to be at least sixty pages...

“Most of it you can just get done when you have time, but you’re going to want to get that medical stuff filled out as soon as possible, just in case.”

That’s concerning.

”Nothing you need to worry about, right now, but those are… pretty important to have on file.”

... That’s really concerning.

“Oh! Also you won’t have systems access until Systech processes their forms, and they can be a little slow to actually do that, so I wouldn’t wait too long on those either. I printed out the Director’s notes for you —”

“Director”? What? Who is she talking about?

“— so it’s not quite as crucial as with the medical forms, but, well, you are really going to want systems access sooner rather than later. Anyway, when you get those done, you — actually, what does your badge say?”

She grabs it without bothering to ask.

“Clearance level, um, two, really? Ouch, um. That’s not supposed to... that’s not ideal.”

Every third thing this woman says is making me more worried. My stomach is tying itself in a knot...

“You should really have at least four for this role. Um. Okay. With level two you’re going to want to stay in your wing unless explicitly authorized —”

They’re going to lock me in?

“— Oh, hey!”

I guess she found what she was looking for. She stops in front of a door marked “129” and holds her badge up to the proximity reader. It pops open of its own accord, which I would think was kind of cool if I weren’t mentally screaming.

Yep, called it. Sect Queen.

Don't panic!
First, direct her to the food dispenser. If that's not acceptable, ask her what kind of food she needs. If it's not ENOUGH food, ask her how much more she needs. Then immediately go fill out a request form. Don't try to interview her in this state.

Oh neat this one looks like a female. For a bit I was starting to wonder if the facility was trying to set you up with an alien haram.

Anyways I guess we should ask what she eats and how much of it she usually eats.

Why did the light turned on after you said "hello"? Does Queen Bee have a light switch? Is this an automatic system set up for this specie?

>“I need food.”
Are you not receiving food? Is the food they deliver perhaps insuficiente? Could it be inadequate for consumption?
I can put a request but I can't guaranty it will be approved. How exactly would you describe the kind of food you consume? What amount do you desire? I will need the weight or volume compared to something I can use as reference.

Well, this one seems pretty unambiguously gendered, at least.

>this is the one that's going to kill me
Someone on the tranq team agreed with you, what with breaking protocol. Imagine how much fun those guys and gals must be having! For that matter, imagine how much fun this is for the over-sedated alien woman there.

Put it into perspective, Kuvusha. She could just as well be incredibly hungry and requesting food after an extended duration spent KO'd. Bury your fears and try to make this experience less bad for yourself AND her. She was supposedly very agitated earlier, but since they seem willing to talk now, even if just about food, you should give that a shot.

Explain that food should have been or will be delivered into her cell - surely she could smell it if so, yes? If she hasn't gotten anything yet you'll check in on why and ensure something IS sent soon. You could honestly use an explanation as to what her species' dietary requirements are, though.
>>
No. 1065811 ID: 85f241

Oh, no. It's some kind of hungry bug queen.
And she is with child.

Wait... She is with child! That means she won't take unnescesary risks and listen to what we have to say if we hice her food and shelter.

Finally, someone who will actually pay attention! Let's ask her what her spieces and what they eat. We'll probably earn her trust quickly if we make her food requisition our top priority.

The documentation says that this subject was atypical compared to the other captured subjects. The 'aimless patterns' implies the government collected and accidentally uplifted multiple drones, while this subject was captured as a functioning queen. And she wants food, to the point that it's her highest priority.

Should ask if she's going to reproduce, then write that down as a priority alert.

whump

— ghk, why

“I need ...”

— I —

>She could just as well be incredibly hungry and requesting food after an extended duration spent KO'd.
... right.

... okay, no, I can ... I can do this.

The alien almost looks like it’s in pain, and its voice sounds —

“I’m ... starving ...”

— strained, I think. A bit ... artificial? I’m not sure I can judge, exactly, but it’s ... odd.

... wait, what did it just say?

“... um ... isn’t there ... a dispenser or something?”

“... not enough.”

... Uh oh.

“... I can ... get you food, I think?”

“... please.”

>Tell them you'll do what you can if they answer some questions.
It seems like it might not be in a condition to give me many answers.

Can I get it food quickly? None of the stuff I’ve asked for on the forms has come back yet ... is there something I’m forgetting?

Learn a different language if you don't already know one. Translate the food. You now have enough to feed her.
>>
No. 1066291 ID: fa3034

I think it's time to just write an emergency requisition on a blank sheet. "Emergency rations for subject four, ASAP" And run that to the tube. While waiting for that, ask your subject what kind of food they need.
>>
No. 1066292 ID: a7a180

Can you tick a little box on the forms that indicates priority? Make a note that subject may need medical care to recover from malnourishment. Has IT gotten back to you with system access yet?
Don't use the EMERGENCY unit yet, give it... a day of nothing getting delivered yet before you start to worry. She's starving, but she'll last long enough for her next meal.
Ask her what she eats, then hurry back to the tube.
>>
No. 1066293 ID: 8f9bc4

Ask Orro if you can have one of his ears.

OK you didn't run. That's good. That means you can handle this. Visiting the rest of the subjects has to wait if this one is literally starving to death. Tell her you don't know how long it'll take, but there is a way to get her food. Then go write up a report on her right away, emphasizing that she's in critical condition. Send that off, and then you can feed Orro to her go about meeting the last one on your list.

What there are two more on your list? No no, not that "last" last one no, no way. Not even curious. Not even a teeny little bit.
>>
No. 1066295 ID: e1b710

Voice is odd because it is artificial. They had to come up with some kind of voice synthesizer for her.

Maybe you can jump ahead in the pneumo-Québec by doing the REQUISITION form thing, only with EMERGENCY instead, and append your request? It’ll be slow-ish, but hopefully you’ll get through and can inform those goobers feeding your charge they appear to have put her on starvation diet. Did they account for this being being bigger than others of the type? Well, whatever, request double the rations and a serving ASAP.

Oh, and remember not to use the radio labeled EMERGENCY. The way Ontinaz acted around it makes it very likely either an alien around here can do unpleasant things with radio waves, or whatever is going on in this place fucks with it, which is why they might have installed the pneumatic system.

You probably can't do anything here yourself.
Scream at bureaucracy and stamp PRIORITY EMERGENCY P1 P0 all over requisition forms because that's all they expect you to do your job with and you have to use the tools you were given.
>>
No. 1066298 ID: e770db

You can immediately send a requisition request titled as an emergency. Maybe check your tablet if it has some kind of emergency line? Last resort maybe take a bunch of your food from the kitchen and bring it here to her. Requisitions can probably bring you more in a reasonable amount of time when you aren't starving.

>is there something I’m forgetting?
I hope you are not expecting us to remember some specific detail we read four months ago.

As far I as I remember the papers is the only communication method available. If it's absolutely necessary to obtain food before the bureaucratic process allow you will need to ask Orro and Yaku to share their portions and, of course, open their containers.
>>
No. 1066301 ID: dacac3

Well, you've got your food supply but that's probably too tiny. "Subject CN0129-004 caloric needs higher than previous morphs, requesting rations on an expedited basis. Subject health already negatively impacted."

I guess you could ask what kind of food they like so they can get something other than the gruel that seems to be the default for all the subjects.

No. 1066326 ID: 273c18

>>1066289
You can get food from other cells? Wait, no, it was delivered by tray, so unless one of the subjects left food uneaten there won't be anything available. You can check the buttons on this side of the wall to see if you can make the system deliver food manually. There is also the "backup communication system", which should be faster than the requisition form.

Make this your priority. Though, it looks like she's still got some fat on her so she's not in danger of dying.

No. 1066333 ID: 36784c

>>1066289
Maybe fill out one of those forms and write "Urgent" on it when you send it through the pneumatic tube? That might get things sped up. Just make sure you specifically state the exact reason on why it's urgent!

You may not enjoy being around these giants, but you're not going to let one of them starve to death!
>>
No. 1066343 ID: 2eb3cc

Ask her how many times her current food rate she needs. Request double that daily amount be delivered immediately, and the same again tomorrow, I think. (I'm going to hope refeeding syndrome isn't applicable, here.) Check-box or write-in "emergency" on the form, note that subject requested food and collapsed. Once she's ok again, you can adjust the rates and check on other things etc.
>>
No. 1066344 ID: 2eb3cc

Oh - and also tell them the requested normal daily amount, of course. (It's not as urgent, though.) And maybe ask about medical inspection or something? I don't know what systems, if any, they have for cases like this.

Request more 'calories' from command. State that Subject 4 is malnourished and you will accept processed gruel.

Yeah, she also told us "I know this radio says ‘EMERGENCY’ but it, doesn’t, um. Don’t use it. Just, trust me on that one."

Either way, there's no harm in ordering extra food. The potential harm will be in opening the door to deliver it.

They can communicate; they're not likely to die instantly, don't use the radio, just order a LOT of food. Also ask them, like, what kind of food would be helpful to them, maybe you could get them like an entire cement truck full of jam if they're like some super huge insect type thing that drinks nectar or something.

Write EMERGENCY! URGENT!! on some forms, very large. Explain this subject is malnourished and needs more food for survival.
