[Video - Arrival]

[generalgrievous]

[A skull-like being appears on the network - but no, it's not a human skull and it isn't the creature's actual head. Instead it is some sort of mask, through which yellow eyes glare angrily. These are the only part that looks to be truly alive, however. Much of the rest of his body is hidden by a cloak wrapped around his shoulders, but what other parts that can be seen are robotic, yet skeletal - including a claw-like hand currently clutched into a fist. Some may be able to tell he's some sort of alien cyborg. His metallic voice is harsh.]

Where are these so-called City Guardians and your military operations?

Your explanations are not satisfactory. It was a mistake to bring me here and I demand that you return me to my ship at once.

[generalgrievous]

You are one of the keepers of the peace, are you not?

Much like a Jedi.

[He says the last word as if it's something very unpleasant.]

[Action]

[aurabble]

That is my job, yes. What's a Jedi?

[He's not very good at it. Maybe he acted too impulsively without thinking before. It wouldn't be the first time.]

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

[The question gives him pause.]

You don't know of the Jedi?

[Action]

[aurabble]

I'm from another world. In case you didn't notice.

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

There are many worlds. You must be far into the uncharted regions to have not even heard of them.

[There's another thoughtful pause.]

I have no quarrel with you.

[Action]

[aurabble]

Maybe. There are also different versions of the same world. It makes more sense if you read comics.

[So far though, Jaune hasn't come into contact with anything indicating there's another Remnant.]

And Weiss?

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

Your welcoming tour guide? I am not blaming her or you for this predicament.

But when I find who is responsible for my entrapment here I will crush them.

[He emphasised his words with the clenching of a clawed hand into a tight fist.]

[Action]

[aurabble]

She's not just a-- fair enough.

[If Grievous is making an effort, he should too.

That earns a small smile.]

You're not the only one who wants to get even. Personally, I'm okay with being here, but I could do without feeling like a science experiment. ...Sorry for being a jerk. I know it doesn't excuse it, but I'm kind of on edge when it comes to strangers and anything that could maybe be taken as a threat.

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

We should then be allies, not enemies.

[Maybe they could all band together to find and destroy their kidnappers, he's thinking.]

[Action]

[aurabble]

You should come to Nova City when you find a job. I think you'd like it more.

[He doesn't want to stereotype but a giant mechanical cyborg seems to fit the theme... He walks over, extending his right hand.]

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

[Grievous takes the hand but his grip may be a little too tight. Shaking hands wasn't a common thing for him but he understands the gesture.]

Nova City? And just what job do you think would be appropriate?

[Action]

[aurabble]

[Trying not to wince.]

Maybe you could give bounty hunting a shot?

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

[He makes a sound that could be taken for distaste or disapproval. If he had an expressive face left it would be scowling.]

I am a warrior and a General who leads great armies. I do not hunt people for credits.

[Seems he thinks he's above that.]

[Action]

[aurabble]

Okay. Fair enough. What about pottery?

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

Pottery? Do I look like a craftsman to you?

[Action]

[aurabble]

You could work at the puppy shelter for all I know I don't judge based on appearances.

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

I will investigate this Nova City and find something more suitable to my talents.

[His words are briefly interrupted by a cough.]

[Action]

[aurabble]

I'm pretty sure they make career tests and stuff if you're stuck.
