xenamorph[As weird as it was staying in Spock's guest bedroom, they were polite enough. Still, she really didn't spend much time there.
At first, she'd spent a lot of time just flying around, but it didn't really ease the tension. Something was missing. She was having trouble sleeping. She had so many nightmares, she lost track of which ones were which, and she'd wake up in the middle of the night, screaming into her pillow.
And then she'd fly again.
It wasn't enough.
Something is missing.]

"So, um. Can anybody show me how to program that... battledome thing? And what else do you people do to entertain yourself around here."
[She stops for a moment, staring blankly at the camera as visions of violence and blood fill her head, before she blinks and snaps out of it.]
"Uh. So, if anybody could help me out on either end, I'd appreciate it."

[She's going to be at the battledome today, trying to figure out how to make it work. She needs to...
Something. She's looking for something. She's not sure what.]

Date: 2013-01-30 02:19 pm (UTC)[Sparring. More images of violence flash through her mind. A bear, tearing through human Controllers like they were flies. An elephant trampling hordes of taxxons and hork-bajir. An eagle diving into a controller's eyes, a wolf working with the pack to bring down a-]

"Thanks."

Date: 2013-01-30 02:27 pm (UTC)[Clint shows up at the Battle Dome a short while later, lingering near the control panel. He has his bow in it's case and the quiver slung over his shoulder and a bag of clothes to change into since he's probably going to be working out for a while.]

Date: 2013-01-30 02:35 pm (UTC)"Hey. Sorry if I kept you waiting."
[She seems a lot less uncertain now, if nothing else.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-01-30 02:38 pm (UTC)You didn't. I spend a lot of time here training most days.

Re: [Action]
Date: 2013-01-31 04:39 pm (UTC)You may sort through here, or create one of your own. Was there anything in particular you were looking for..... other than a place with a higher ambient temperature?

Their pitiful resistance is crushed beneath the might of their morphs, shrugging off their bullets and dracon beams like the stings of a gnat-]

Hello. Would you like some help?

Date: 2013-01-30 02:41 pm (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2013-01-30 02:43 pm (UTC)[She moves over to the console and pulls up a list of scenarios she uses regularly. Ranging from a Japanese garden in the summer to a hellscape covered with forty foot tall oni to a tag-scenario.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-01-30 02:46 pm (UTC)[A Hork-Bajir stands amidst the bodies, Taxxon and Human controllers strewn around her, bleeding, dying, another Taxxon comes into the fray and she turns to face it with a scream of defiance-]
"Uh, I'm thinking maybe I'll try to program my home. I mean, the house. Just the house. That seems simple enough."
[Action]
Date: 2013-01-30 02:49 pm (UTC)[She blinks...
and pulls up a small menu.]
Here. This is a base. A blank field I use. You can add to it with this. Start there.
[She takes a step back so the girl can work.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-01-30 04:00 pm (UTC)and after a moment, she steps back.]
"I think it's ready. Do I just... go in?"

Were Rachel to look at the control panel at some point, she might see this thin but obviously-intelligent scientist at the controls, fingers diligently typing out strings of text as he modifies one of his already-massive scenarios of Linden, the complex glittering sprawl of which can be seen just inside. It might remind her a little of some of the alien vistas she's been in, but the sky is essentially her Earth's.
He shouldn't be too hard to interrupt, if she's curious to know how he's doing this.]

[Action]
Date: 2013-02-01 09:59 am (UTC)... Ah - w-well, it is... variable, and... in t-truth, the simulation feels larger than it... a-actually is.
... But, yes, they can... certainly be quite e-expansive. [As she can see.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-02-01 10:02 am (UTC)"Sorry if I scared you. I'm just trying to get used to how this place works."
[Action]
Date: 2013-02-01 10:04 am (UTC)Do not apologize... [He smiles, nervously and entirely too self-consciously.
The exact opposite of Rachel - he has "I am a target" written all over him.]
Are you... i-interested, in the simulations...?
