that beryl chick is not a happy camper right now....i wonder why.

In Tempo's defense she is the intelligence officer after all, Beryl will just need to learn some patience and she get her turn eventually. She really look angry and disappointed thou. I guess Tempo really want to start a proper debriefing of Alex but of some reasons felt that she could not do that when still on the Tempest. I strongly suspect Stillstorm to be the main reason for that.

[Suederwind]

Oh boy, does she look unhappy.
Lets hope that will change, soon.

[Hālian]

That feeling when you have to poop and a certain red-eyed mizol is taking her own sweet time in the lavatory...

[Razor One]

that beryl chick is not a happy camper right now....i wonder why.

If I had to guess, Tempo is probably doing telepathic shenanigans while talking to Alex to suss out just how good his Lotai is.

I figure it to be something like this.

"So, Alex, tell me about Earth."
Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? How about now? C'mon! Respond!
"Bit of a broad subject, what about Earth specifically?"
MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! MEEP!
"The region you come from perhaps?"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!
"I come from an area called California. It's located on the North American continent and is part of the United States of America. It tends to be sunny and warm for the most part and is renowned for both its mild weather, excellent wine, and is the center of production for entertainment such as movies."
Hey! Listen! Hey! Hey! Hey Listen! Listen! Hey! Hey Listen!
"How many people live on Earth?"
THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOUR FACE! KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Will you please cease your eternal racket!
"About twelve billion give or take with more on our colonies, I'm afraid I wasn't fully up to date with the latest census data. How many Loroi are there?"
Just trying to get a reaction from him, Beryl, it seems that he's as telepathically deaf as a rock.

[icekatze]

hi hi

I suspect that Beryl just got told to take a hike. I can't quite tell from the surroundings, but is Beryl getting up and leaving?

[Razor One]

That or she's trying to find a seat next to Alex and Tempo completely usurped the one she was going for, forcing Beryl to take a less than optimal seat.

[dragoongfa]

Hmm...

If it is the seating arrangement and judging from where Beryl put her bag down at page 104 then Tempo sat down on the seat to his right which still leaves the seat that Beryl claimed open.

The only way for that particular seat to be taken away from Beryl is for Fireblade to have insisted of sitting next to Alex from the get go.

Poor Beryl, caught between a Spy and a telekinetic Marine...

The cute Librarian takes a back seat...

EDIT: Also thanks to the corridor the seat Tempo took allows her to fully turn and face Alex the whole trip if she wanted to. Still the seat Beryl claimed with the bag is better, unless Fireblade throws a monkey wrench in the equation.

[kclcmdr]

Ms. Beryl not happy to share her catch with her superior officer...

Possibly she wants to shine bright with whatever data she could have pump out of him but looks quite dim as rank is gently nudged forward....

[GeoModder]

I suppose, next to rank, caste hath its privileges. I can imagine an analyst/ambassador having more say over time spent with the representative of a new alien species then a 'mere' observer/analyst.

[Count Casimir]

Myeh myeh myeh. I'm sooo pretty and smart and clever with my mouth speaking and the humaniti would rather talk to me than aaaanyone else.
I can hear you.

Oh, pouting Beryl.

[bunnyboy]

"Hey Beryl! Wasn't you present when the alien awakened. Is that true what they tell about his genitals?" Makes hand signals.

"Don't sanzai to me you pervert."

[Krulle]

Now we get a tad more context:

I would love to listen into the telepathic conversation between Tempo and our favourite Listel...

Can the NSA tap that yet?

SpoilerShow

I found this image, and found it disturbingly fitting for this moment too.

[dragoongfa]

So...

Shoe girl is coming along for the ride?

[Razor One]

And lo', Tempo went unto the shuttle,
And was greeted by Beryl with Scorn.
Thus did she stretch out her hand in friendship,
And sayeth unto all:
"Be not scornful, for I have brought the gift of shoes!"
And yea, Shoegirl did delivereth the shoes as promised,
And there was much rejoicing.
So ended the trials of the trinity.

[dragoongfa]

And that's how Razor One became the first priest of the Holy Trinity.

[Razor One]

Yea for I have seen them,
The Fire that Burns,
The Music that Turns,
And the Light that Learns,
This is thy holy trinity.
Honour them,
And thou shall surely feel their blessings,
To the very end of days.

~~

More seriously, this is an old habit I had from my MMORPG days. I had a long running joke where I would, as an Orc Warrior, roleplay as a priest for a fictional religion and scream at people for blasphemy while vilifying the opposite faction. I'd often descend into a parable like story time that was done completely on the fly and in real time from the vaguest of prompts. It was all in jest, so if I start going off like that, just remember it's all in good humour.

[sunphoenix]

Oh I find it all amusing and entertaining Razor One.. no offense taken here! {snicker}

...I think I'm a convert! Tempo is a drop-dead hottie! She reminds me of Sylvia Stingray from Bubblegum Crisis... so regal, reserved, and sharp as a whip always in control and cool as hell!

Sylvia Stingray

http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Sylia_Stingray

She always makes you wonder what is going on behind those sultry enticing eyes... sharp intelligence no doubt, but keeps you wondering what she would do to you~ in-private, lol! Probably rock your brains out! heh!

[icekatze]

hi hi

I think you're right, that does look like shoe girl! The undisputed master of footwear and item procurement and transportation.

Even though some Loroi could literally kill someone with their mind, I wonder if they would understand the idiom, "if looks could kill." Cause it sure looks like Beryl is shooting mind bullets.

[Krulle]

To me she does not look like Shoe Girl.
Very similar, yes, but her head posture is different. (page 42)

But when rereading though the comic it inded looks like Shoe Girl accompanied them through the lift ride and all passages to the bridge. And she seems to be stationed at the bridge as adjutant to one of the higher ranking officers there (background last image, page 65). Which is weird, on which ship is a bridge soldier also the one managing supplies, or even making the necessary supplies?
This is likely an indication that Shoe Girl was the ears and eyes of Tempo on their way to the bridge, and that she might be an intelligence officer too...

I also confused her with this image of p.100 I saw. I remembered someone carrying a bag similar to Beryls... Well, on page 100 Beryl got her pack.
