Session 005

Emmett is going to try to lure the thing away.
The thing doesn't seem to be very smart.
Emmett finds Isha and picks her up in a piggyback ride to get her away from the giant bug.
Emmett runs into a branch and it tears out her septum piercing.
Emmett scoots right past (x1) the thing.
Isha manages to get a hit in on the thing. It seems surprised that food bites back.
Emmett & Isha are trying to get the thing to run off a cliff.
Isha feels like there two of them.
Noelle gets antsy about sitting there and hops into the Fenrir. As her shields come online, she can hear another discharge from the anti-air but it can't make it through the trees.
Isha manages to deal some additional damage and the thing finds her too spicy (x1).
Emmett baits the thing into jumping over the cliff.
Noelle picks up Emmett with her fighter to prevent her from falling.
Emmett jokingly refers to the thing as a Scorpio when it starts to try climbing back up out of spite. Until otherwise documented, it's a Tarantula SW13-C72 Scorpius.
A bunch of vines claw the thing until it falls off finally.
The vines seem to form into a ball and move upwards.
There's a bunch of pink, blue, and white flowers that look gorgeous and deadly in the mass.
The vines seem to tap the glass and then respond when Noelle says not to.
Noelle sets the fighter down.
It touches our faces and then retreats into a humanoid shape with cyn-like horns.
The mass is extremely expressive and touchy.
It - she? - offers out some vaguely pollen-like golden powder.
She encourages Noelle to breathe it in.
When Noelle does, they can understand.
She refers to the precursor ruins as the "Embassy" and talks to us, until there's a woodpecker-adjacent sound that seems to startle her.
There's a strange human-sized butterfly-like creature with a sharp beak on a tree above the ship.
It attempts to fight her off.
She jabs the creature with a thorn on one of her floral vines.
Lasani joins in on the mental connection party.
She offers to take us somewhere she refers to as her 'observatory'. We leave the Fenrir behind.
There's a cracked tree that she's carved out to form a home.
She built this observatory to watch the stars. Her people don't usually build things.
She's got star charts and drawings of phases of the planets moons, aided by a rudimentary telescope that she created.
Her spore-based telepathy seems to be capable of communicating concepts as well as distance.
She effectively has knowledge on-par with 17th-century astronomy.
Noelle fact-checks some of her measurements.
Her name is Cadriae and her species is referred to as olassa.
She suggests we spend the night at the observatory since it's most likely the safest place on the planet.
There aren't many creatures with bones on the planet other than what Cadriae refers to as brachiosaurs.
Noelle discusses shift and skip drives with Cadriae.
Cadriae refers to subdimensional transit as traveling through the base states, which is a theory as a part of alchemy.
The olassa theorize that magic flows from the base states and forms into life, imbued into creatures as soon as they are born.
Emotion draws magic from the base states and shapes it.
Evidently there are theories that the chydir were the first spacefaring race but they reverted for some reason.
