The others question made Ziv think about the pirates that had only hours ago raided the hangar, held her down a second after she had locked the biodome. The others question made Ziv think about sitting here in the hangar on the overthrown cargoboxes with half her watertanks gone and azure sunlight dying the cuts in her flesh, that she was carefully cleaning and bandaging, into a soft lavender.
The others question made Ziv think about the sudden unease she had felt when the visitor had approached her, not a fear, not a unreasonable disgust for the other, nothing like this she could not ignore to support someone who was curious for botanical knowledge and who was willing to learn. But a instinctive reaction like from a mouse seeing a cat for the first time, not recognizing its danger or nature, but recognizing that the sharp claws could be cutting flesh and the frontal-looking eyes were made for hunting. The others question made Ziv think that despite all this, she really did not wanted to have the bandites met the visitor for their own safety. The others question made Ziv think about all this and more, as she put the syringe with liquid painkillers against the bloody edge of the scatterd fur and flesh on her cheek and without any hestiation pushed the needle in her own flesh and injected the painkillers. She hissed over the sharp pain of the needle in her face, but only a few seconds later a numb feeling started to slowly spread over her face as if drops of icy water were dripping on her face and muzzle, numbing her facial muscles. Opening and closing her jaws to make sure she could still properly talk, the Tynnan said eventually from between razorsharp teeth: "Noone I couldn´t take kriffing care of myself, cub." It was a lie of course- if she would be able to take care of the pirates herself, she wouldn´t sit here in the hangar with bloodd yeing her colourless pelt red and a face that felt numb, almost like a piece of flesh placed dead on her long neck. Yet Ziv ahd worked long enough as a botanist to know that the only reason she was hired for terraforming and reconstruction of by natural disasters destroyed communitys with botany, was because it was thought that she was able to do all this work on her own without any helpand the Tynnan liked her work and had till now managed to do that work on her own evetually. She put the syringe down beside her on the cargobox and started to carefully and almost scientifically move her legs and arms to test how she could move without causing herself more pain. Slowly she slided off the Cargoboxes, grimacing on the burning sensations in her injuries.
"However, you can do me the favour and pluck some stuff for me, because I happen to be a kriffing short person and for now my arms do not want to go past my kriffing head," she lifted her short arms and hissed when her left side with the newly put in shoulder sended a pain like a sharp blade down her torso to her hindpaws. Hasty she let her arms sink down again: "- so yeh, if you want to help, pluck me the plants I show you. You are here for the plants in the biodome anyway, yeh? So why not start your first kriffing lesson with some kriffing healingherbs for your poor kriffed up teacher who moans the kriffing fact that she had kriffing bones that can be broken and flesh that can be kriffing bruised. You know, I wouldn´t have had anything against beeing born as a kriffing octopus, without any bones that can be broken, but no, kriffing no, I was born as a kriffing mammal with bones and flesh and I am suffering because of that since I was pushed out of my kriffing dam. Well, whatever, I eat octopus as part of my kriffing normal speciesspecific diet and also a kriffing revenge, so who is the winner here now, eh?" the young woman laughed and promptly regretted it because it hurted in her chest and made her left shoulder sting. A little less enthusiastic than her spech from before the Tynnan hobbled forward to the metaldoor connecting the hangar with the actual biodome to put in the password- the pirates had taken away one of her harvest machines and half of her watertanks, but the had had no interest at what was growing inside the biodome. It had been a mistake, the species growing inside the dome were samples of seldom plants that were not only millions of years old, but that could survive in the most extreme enviorments, making them useable for every community across the Galaxy and therefor also easily sellable to most communitys across the Galaxy and as precious as diamonds.
The airlock opned and a scent of pretrichor washed into the hangar like a wave. Ziv waved the newcomer to her side and walked inside- the biodome had a glassdome as its roof and in the late evening the last beams of azureblue sunlight from the far away, hot burning sun fell into the forest beneath. In the azure sunlight the young trees growing not higher than Cayne yet, grew past beds of high grass that swayed a little in a warm breeze coming from the airfilters like algea in a tropical ocean. There were no roads between the different beds, but there were paths of bare soil barely as wide as a hand on which Ziv usually walked. " So ears turned up and come along, cub.", the Tynnan said and balanced on the thin beaten paths past hydroponic beds in which fish were colourfully swimming beneath put high pots of crops whichs long roots reached into the ponds; and past the different beds of flowers and grass towards the middle of the dome where a big tree was reaching with long, thin branchs towards one side of the dome to form a nestled roof of branches from which hung silver fruits. The sunlight was not able to pierce through this formed roof of intervined branches, so the silver huecoming from the fruits was not reflecting sunlight but came from the fruits themself that looked like pieces of glassshards.Ziv wantd to rise a arm but noticed a second too late that she could not rise her arms above her head and instead she only winced and nodded her head towards the fruits: "One of those. Their juice is antiseptic. Get me one down here and I show you how to cut and prepare it into medicine, yeh?"
