This isn't how G-1094 wanted this to go.

G-1094
A simple G-Class notail, G-1094 had never been off their homeworld of Eukaryote. Sure they had sat in many spaceships, hauling supplies, but exploration past a shipping dock was outside of their experience.
G-1094
They had been waiting for others to capture and load up some animals. G-1094 was on feeding duty. It was supposed to be simple, unexciting, just how they liked it.
But then the alarms screamed.

Without thinking they had followed protocol. Release the animals, and escape the ship. They didn't even look for the danger. As a G-eneral class, it wasn't their duty to question orders, just to follow them exactly.
But when they had escaped whatever the danger was, they quickly realized they had no idea what to do next.
G-1094
No chain of command. No animals to watch. It was only them in an endlessly spanning alien city and their one loyal steed, Fang the thornhead.

Fang snorts, his thorns vibrating in anger.

G-1094
"Ah, dang Fang, I bet you're hungry after all of that. Maybe we can find you something to eat. I'm sure there's food we can scavenge up. It'll be just like the woods, haha... <:)"
Fang
"Wooourrrr!" Fang warbles before launching forward, escaping from his owner.
G-1094
G-1094 sighs. So much for "loyal steed." They race after Fang through the city. Escaped and wild creatures poke their heads out from rubble to investigate the commotion as the G-class yells out to their pet.

A tall shady notail rises to her feet causing G-1094 to pause.

L-429
"Hey, aren't you with the guys working here? You ain't up to anything illegal now, aren't you? >w<"
G-1094
"I'm not doing any crimes.....at least I hope not. I don't know anything about the laws around here. I'm just trying to wait for my boss to come back. At least, until my thornhead got away from me. <:)"
T-4613709
"Hoo hoo! Loitering, aren't we?" A small birdlike alien tweets as he hops from behind the tall notail.
G-1094
In an instant G-1094 forgets what they were doing. They point at the bird and ask- "Is that an alien? Like, a real one? <:)"
L-429
"Whaaaaaaat??? No way! T-4613709 is my child. I'm a notail, so T-4613709 is a notail for sure! >w<"
T-4613709
"Hooooo, it's true! L-429 is my mother. I look a little different from other notails, but mama told me notails just hatch out mutated sometimes. "
G-1094
"................................"
G-1094
".................................................."
G-1094
"I don't think notails hatch from eggs. <:)"
L-429
"I know you're a tube baby like every other notail, but natural born notails hatch from eggs! I mean, how can you possibly prove me wrong, do you know where notail babies come from when there's no tube to work with? >w<"
G-1094
"Well-"
G-1094
"I..."
G-1094
"So they really come from eggs???" Like most notails, G-1094 was uneducated in this department. They couldn't make heads or tails of the situation.
L-429
"I may engage in alien capitalism, but I'm no liar! Except when I tell rich people that my stickers radiate a frequency that enlightens their neurons!"
L-429
"But hey, it's their fault if they fall for that!!!!! >w<"
Fang
Fang drifts over to the group, tilting its head to gain a better feel for the situation.
G-1094
"Fang! Don't run off again, ok boy? What if the others came back while I was out finding you? <:)"
T-4613709
".............What a strange looking thornhead you have there." The small, feathered "notail" interrupts.
G-1094
"Oh. Fang? He's albino. That's why he looks like that."
L-429
L-429 snickers. "Pfffthaha! Didn't know albino thornheads looked so weird! >w<"
G-1094
G-1094 ignores the rude comments. They're used to people pointing out Fang's oddities. "You wouldn't happen to know where my boss is, would you? Dog based notail? <:)"
L-429
The tall notail rubs her hands, interested in a possible deal. "How much is information like that worth to you? >w<"
G-1094
"I don't have any money, you know. <:)"
L-429
"Right right! Notail kin! Notail kin! You are funded by the government! All three of us are notails, so we can share info for free! >w<"
T-4613709
"We have seen your boss. We traded him socks that weren't wet and vegan ham for 100,000 points. He doesn't really understand how money works, yet he engages in xenocapitalism. Curious."
G-1094
"Yeah, I think aliens pay him to watch his weird movies or something. I don't think he actually knows what money is. <:)" G-1094 states with a shrug.
L-429
"He went off that-away. When you see him, tell him to buy more shit from us! We got a federation paper filing we're trying to save up for here. Support your local businesses and all that! >w<"

G-1094 follows the directions given, coming across a small group of notails investigating a strange metal that has ripped itself out of the ground. "You, G-class! What are you doing off of the ship? +u+"

"It is not ok. But we will let the current K-class leader make the final choice on your fate. ouo"
K-9
"I know this may be controversial, but I don't think brain removal is necessary!"
K-9
"Yet."
K-9
"Explain why you abandoned your post, G-class. +u+"

"The ship alarm went off. Procedure states....
1. Release the animals.
2. Leave the ship. <:)"
K-9
"What caused the alarm? +u+"
G-1094
"I dunno. Checking wasn't in the procedure. <:)"
K-9
"Do you at least know where the animals went? ouo"
G-1094
"That also wasn't in the procedure. I just stood around waiting for orders. <:)"
K-9
"They are. S.T.U.P.I.D. ouo"
G-1094
"What does that mean? <:)"
K-9
"It spells out, STUPID. Stupid. ouo"
G-1094
"I thought it was an acronym! <:)"
K-9
"If you're following procedures, why did you leave your post of standing idiotically watching all the animals escape from an unspecified danger? +u+"
G-1094
"Oh, well I had to catch my thornhead, Fang!" G-1094 motions to Fang.
K-9
"Do you even know what a thornhead should look like? ouo"
G-1094
"Why is everyone rude about this? He's just albino..... <:)"
K-9
"Look, G-class. The past K-class leaders aren't pleased with you. I recommend you start catching some of those creatures you let loose, before you get recommended for P.R.O.M.O.T.I.O.N. +u+"
G-1094
"I don't know if I can take orders from you. You're not my boss. <:)"
K-9
"If your brain went missing, no one would know. ouo"
K-9
"G-class, have you ever questioned reality? +u+"
G-1094
"Uh, no? Seems like a weird thing to be questioning. <:)"
K-9
"Here's my recommendation. Things in this city are a lot weirder than you think......."

"When someone does anything, consider the following questions....."
K-9
"Why is this happening? Why would you do this? ouo"
K-9
"I know you're a cog in a wheel, and we need those at work....." The K-class leader turns around, touching once more the jutting metal structure breaking out from the street.
K-9
"But enough cogs not asking questions can lead to devastating results."
G-1094
"Right. So catch creatures? That's what my job is?"
G-1094
"Leave it to me! It'll be easy! Come on Fang, let's get going! <:)" G-1094 cheers before escaping to the maze of a city.
K-9
"..............................................."
K-9
"They didn't ask about the fact that this city is in ruins. They didn't ask about the giant metal chunks erupting out of the ground. They didn't even ask why we're investigating and taking samples here. +u+"
K-9
"I hope that they fall down a hole. And break their neck. So that we can remove their brain. As it is clear to us that they are not using it at this moment. ouo"
AND THUS THE G-CLASS HEADS DEEPER INTO THE CITY.....
