Can Peter understand the language and make out what the voices are saying?
He will encourage his new friends to take it easy and hold back while he investigates, just in case the newcomers react poorly. He summons Goliath to his side as he moves toward the voices. How long has it been since Peter expended his ER? |

Peter can hear a word or two. Its in some very thick accent of english. He hears "beach" and "wood" and "persons". Quote:
*literal meaning is "whalefall", but the context has something of a gold rush, or even a struggle over a carcass. Quote:
Older Man: "Ho! What brings ye nigh our shores!" The accent is thick, and the vocabulary archaic... but Peter thinks he can make it out. Quote:

Peter gives Goliath the speak-nice gesture and the great dog lets out a mid volume puff a bark, in a clearly non-aggressive way. "WOOF" More to himself than to the newcomers, Peter says... "I can't believe I'm going to say this; But he speaks up as he continues... "I was caught in a storm and woke up on the beach here. And I'm not the only one. I saw a bunch of stuff washed up down the way and I think there are some people who might have gone inland from there." "And I met some REALLY INTERESTING people. Have you guys ever met the Vutu? They are from someplace called the ethereal realm. They are super shy, but that's no surprise, if this place is as alien to them as they look to me, I bet they're terrified." "What do you call this place?" |

"This be Harcliff, near Minder in Cardiel. I be Asad, and this here be my son Hasan. Where hail ye from? From Earth? We not been seeing the others yet."
"I never yet be hearing of the Vutu. The Banestorm calls many worlds." "Be any others with ye? These be our shores, it be proper of us to show a little hospitality."

"I'm pleased to meet you. I appreciate the hospitality. The Vutu I spoke of are nearby in hiding... I'd like to introduce you if you are the kind of folks who can welcome people who are very different from you."
"Banestorm? That fits." Peter tries to get a feel for the men. If they seem friendly enough he will ask the men to stay here while he brings the Vutu out to make introductions. They are armed and he doesn't want to lead the men into trouble if the Vutu misunderstand their collective approach. He will try and make the introductions. When energy allows, he will try and give Javuchi the local version of English. |

"Wait here and I'll see if they will come meet you, then we can all go look for more survivors and the stuff that washed up on the beach" Peter will go back to his fellow castaways and escort them back to make introductions. |

Javuchi : "Have they sworn an oath of peace to you? Trusting a lone boy is easy. Two grown men are more difficult to trust." Kiju glances nervously at the dog. *I'd do my best to psych you out about the quantum Sargasso... but you've read Teresa's story already.

So he will try and unite the groups if they will have it. otherwise he will tell his new friends he will return and check on them, and send any of their kind he finds back their way while he searches for more pods and the conveyor. |

*I assume Peter doesn't know furlongs. If he asks about them, he'll be told 8 of them make a mile. Quote:

They require a bunch of urging, but eventually Kiju observes the men aren't in a hurry to leave, and they need to find the other pods. Quote:
The Vutu come out of hiding, and want Peter to go with them around the tide pools looking for other pods. They give Asad and Hasan a wide berth. Despite the fact that the Vutu are armed and armored and the humans seem to just have sticks. Hasan waves at them and smiles broadly. Quote:
