fandomhigh | Constant Vigilance #4: Friday the 3rd, Morning. Serenity Cove.

Today, the class meets on the beach, to accomadate the student who has a bit of an aquatic problem at the moment. The Doctor set out beach blanket and towels, and has hauled the holoprojector out on a cart.

"Pass forward your requests I asked for, thank you. As I let you know, we're switching things around a bit. Vampires and werewolves will be at a later date. Today is simply 'Close Encounters of the Unattractive Kind'. Now, please remember, that it's not so much that I find these species particularly unpleasant, it's just we might as well show some of the more unsavory aliens out in the world. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I'll be taking questions today, but no lecturing today. It's called close encounters for a reason. You'll be talking to the projections, trying to gather what you can from them. Ask them whatever. Remember they can't actually hurt you, but please only antagonize them if you're being terribly clever about it. There is no assignment for next week. Time for you all to put on your 'first contact' thinking caps. The projector will be sending out three different aliens. Talk to at least one, please."

The Doctor smiled, then turned on the projector. Three forms appeared...

Phoebe was curiously watching him for a moment and then she greeted him, moving her tail in the surf. "Hello."

"I was not aware of a third sentient species of this planet," Styre said. "I shall need to conduct some tests upon you."

Phoebe wasn't sure she liked the sound of that.

"Tests? Like what kind of tests?"

"You appear to be aquatic," Styre said. "We would need to test your body's conductivity to electricity and other durabilities."

Some part of Phoebe's mind flipped a switch and she became agitated at that. Her tail swished back and forth.

"Well why would you want to go and do something like that to me for?!"

Styre smirked. "In order to gain intelligence on your species, of course."

"So, because I'm not human, it's okay to do things to me that could be painful and cause harm so you can learn about me?"

She wondered if the Doctor would get upset with her if she threw a large seashell at this creature's head.

"Because you are not Sontaran," it replied. "Your species is little but a stepping stone as we spread out our empire."

She wasn't sure why, but Walter's words last night came back to her.

"There would be people unhappy with you if you did something to me."

Not that she knew what it meant, but Walter had sounded very determined when he said words like that.

"They are no match for me," Styre said. "This planet is of little value, other than strategic location. It's people are not even suited for slave labor."

What would Nadia say to someone like this. Phoebe swore that she knew... that Nadia would... hit him with something?

So, Phoebe threw a large seashell at his head and then dove into the safety of the water.

The shell passes straight through the projection and lands in the sand.

The project went slightly blurry and static-y for a moment, then resumed it's normal clear and crisp appearance.

"Your primitive weapon would have no effect on me."

~~Unless aimed properly.~~

Phoebe decides she will be staying in the safety of the water until someone makes the scary thing go away.
