Chris whispered. “Ok. Start scanning.” He looked at the gypsy’s to see if they eye all human. He didn’t want to bring out Mwezi if it would cause a problem.

Scans of the dancing Gypsies showed they were close to being human, but their altered bio-signs showed that enough differentiation was there to show differences. On a medical level scans showed signs they were more agile then a normal human for example. There was also signs they had a emphatic sense for sensing feelings and emotions. For science an interesting result that came up was the make up of the large brown colored wagons pulled by two headed Oxen like creatures. The wood was showing signs of surprising resilience compared to say oak or other more common types in known space. Indeed one could say the wood was likely twice or so more dense then normal wood. Security scans showed that the Gypsies all were armed with a variety of small thin metal knives on their belts or hidden up their sleeves and the like.

As they watched an elderly woman of advanced age, with long flowing grey hair, hobbled out of the largest of the three wagons escorted by a younger woman with darker brown hair down to her shoulders. The younger woman held the left arm of the elderly one helping her to a seat that folded down from the side of the wagon. The elderly woman looked wise and though could be placed in her 80s or 90s, had eyes which shown with sharp intelligence and long life beyond her years it seems. Taking a bowl of some kind of stew from a younger boy in his mid-teens the woman seemed to contemplate something only she could see or hear as she stared at the bowl.

William quietly put his tricorder into his bag and looked at the Captain “Nothing of note from my end but some interesting materials they make their wagons out off, I’d love to sneak a sample of that wood, very strong stuff.” He said having returned to his usual tense straightened stance.

“Good. Commander Malkin’s team stay here. I’m going to go talk to the old woman with Ensign V, Mwezi and Kane. Come if things get bad but if not stay until I signal for you all.” He looked at his team. “Let’s go. Call me Lord, like Lord Taggart. We are from far away, to the mountains of the North. You are my Knights and that’s about it.”

He walked out into the open with his arms spread and palms out showing he did not present a threat. He still had his sword at his side. “Excuse me my lady. Can you help out some travelers please.”

Lord Taggart of the North

The trio of dancing gypsies halted their movements and cautiously spread out a few feet in defensive postures as the group approached the elder woman. At their approach the woman’s gaze seemed to pierce deeply into each of the away team present. A smile seemed to cross her features as if she was enjoying some private joke only she heard. “..You are brazen to approach our camp at this hour outsider. Much less to be traveling this road at the approach of the witching hour. Tell me why should my family’s camp contemplate helping you?” She said her voice raspy but still strong despite her advanced age.

GM CockRoach

“Forgive the hour of intrusion my lady. We kept walking looking for a good campsite and could not find one until we saw your fire. We took a chance to see if there are as good as people they say in this region.”

“My name is Christopher or Chris if you prefer and the big guy to my left is Mwezi and the long haired gentleman to my right is Kane. We can offer you security and protection for the night as well as do any chores and repairs you may need in exchange for a supper, a place to stay tonight and breakfast in the morning. Plus we can use some information. So how about it?”

William took cover with the first officer, he deeply disliked not being able to hear what was being said, deep down he was certain that some old Earth Cultural reference would fall out of the Captain’s mouth and get them in trouble, or more annoyingly no one would notice because they lacked Williams need to know and understand everything being said.

OOC: lol! Not yet but I’m getting ready to do a James Bond reference soon!

As soon as they pulled out there knifes Blaze had an arrow ready and bow pulled back. After the CO started to talk to them he slowly move the bow to a stand by position and removed the arrow.
