“Do all your people have similar sounding names?” asked De Kar
“Why do you ask that?” asked the commander
“That dirt healer, it’s name sounded like your name.” replied De Kar
“Hmmm, it may start to sound similar but it ends up sounding different,” said the commander.
"Which one was the dirt healer again?" asked Par Too
"It was the one who we first encountered, asked us what we were doing in their eating area and Ton Gar said 'We are attempting to blend in with the surrounding environment'." replied Tul Wun
"Yes it had made a strange sound and then it went to the floor after Ton Gar's statement, it seemed that poor being was in pain." said De Kar
“Besides De Kar” said Par Too “the healer that works with Ky’Mod had a different sounding name.”
“You mean the one who wanted to know my obscene hand gesture?” asked De Kar
“Well the other healer that wanted to mate with the commander had a different sounding name too,” added Par Too
“I thought that was the same being,” said De Kar
“No they were different,” said Tul Wun
“Really?” asked De Kar
“Yes I counted one dirt healer, two healers, three pilots and four warriors that interacted with us during the meal.” replied Tul Wun
“I am just surprised that more warriors did not come over to do battle against us after what Ton Gar did.” said Par Too.
“Agreed” said De Kar “What he did seemed very offensive.”
“They did not seem to be that offended.” said Par Too “If some thing happened like that happened on my home world, we would be offended.”
“Well what Ton Gar did was offensive in our culture too.” said the commander “But what he consumed that started the chain of events was mildly amusing to say the least and that may have been why we have not been forcibly removed from the eating area.”
“We have been banned from the eating area including you.” said Tun Wun while pointing to the commander.
“A minor detail, giving time they will forget it.” said the commander. Par Too, Tul Wun, De Kar and even Yut looked at her in disbelief. “Well maybe some diplomacy is in order.” Par Too, Tul Wun, De Kar and Yut reaction was the same as before, however Tul Wun seemed less in disbelief than with the previous statement. “An apology?” Par Too, Tul Wun, De Kar and Yut gave negative head movements. “Gesture of good faith, we clean up the mess?”
Before any one could respond to the commander’s last statement Yut points and says “Ton Gar back!” Par Too, Tul Wun, De Kar, Yut and the commander turned to see Ton Gar and Ky’Mod enter the room.
“Well?” asked the commander
“Ton Gar is feeling better.” said Ky’Mod “but it has not come out.”
“How are you feeling Ton Gar?” asked the commander
“I am sorry for bringing dishonor to the team commander.” said Ton Gar
“Do not worry about it Ton Gar.” said the commander
“Still because of my actions the entire team has been banned from the Arcevar Nover eating area.” said Ton Gar “We have been cast out because of me.”
“In that case Ton Gar because of you, we have kept the reputation of our team name alive.” said Tul Wun. Ton Gar, Ky’Mod, Par Too, De Kar and Yut looked at Tul Wun, the commander for her part placed her face in her hand and just shook it left to right continually.
“How can we be called the Outcast if we do not get cast out from places from time to time.” said Tul Wun.
“And I have to say Ton Gar you did it in style!” said Ky’Mod “For such an offensive able act the Arcevar Nover were impressed by you Ton Gar.”
“I was?” asked Ton Gar
“Well it was part entertainment, part seeing some thing new and I do not know what else to say Ton Gar.” said the commander.
“So what do we do now?” asked Ky’Mod
“Well I guess we can go back, apologize and offer to clean up the mess.” said the commander “I doubt it we can scrounge around to replace the food that was lost during Ton Gar’s performance.”
“Why not?” asked De Kar
“It is some thing that is manufactured and needs to be stored in a certain environment, I do not know if the Triskewura has the raw materials or facilities to do it and if it did I doubt it that it will taste the same.” said the commander.
“Commander you want to know what was really strange.” said Ton Gar
“Yes Ton Gar.” said the commander
“It felt better going up then it did going down.” admitted Ton Gar
“You know what Ton Gar, I would not say that to any of my kind. Not yet any way.” said the commander.
Ty’hill enters the room and says, “Gy’Well wants to see you all and he knows about your latest incident.”
“We busted,” said Yut.
