Naja blinks and leans back a bit when Kai tells her to be quiet. She follows the blue girl's gaze down the hall and then back to Kaikoura, only to give her a look of complete confusion.
"You let the bath- What? Do baths around here explode with too much in them?" she asks, trying to imagine what these creatures would use for a bath. Naja was picturing a very very strange bath right now. She shakes that thought away and then frowns some, but with a slight expression of curiosity.
"Yes, I do. I cannot live like this. I am not some caged animal. I do not suppose you would know how one could leave." she says, leaning towards the bars dangerously.

Kaikoura squeaks a little as Naja leans closer to the bars, her grip once again tightens on the taser.
"I...I can let you out" she says quickly "I can."
She blushes a little at her sudden outburst and cringes a little, as if simply speaking it would get her punished.
"It's really, really dangerous. I could get in trouble...but..."
She crouches and puts her hands on her head. What was she doing? Gartik would find out...and she'd be in more trouble than she'd ever been in! How could she have thought this was a good idea??

Naja doesn't say anything while Kaikoura talks, just watching with slightly suspicious eyes. She stares at the taser for a moment then stands back from the door. She could see the blue girl was scared... but this was Naja's chance. She might not get another, so some coxing was clearly needed. "Let me out." she says simply "Let me out.. help me find a weapon.. and I'll get us both somewhere safe. You're a slave, right? I don't know what kind of asshole treats their servants like punching bags but I wouldn't want to work for one."
The hunter sighs and leans against the door "I need your help to get out of here. If you open it up, I owe you one. So, deal?"

Kaikoura stared quizically at Naja...it's not really as though she had a choice in the matter. Her mind was racing, and she was beginning to panic. She sinks into a crouching position, holding herself a little bit as she rocks on the balls of her feet.
"What am I going to do? If I let her out, I'll be punished...But I don't want to see her end up like the other one..." she says quietly to herself, trying to get her courage back up.
Down the hall there was some small commotion, it sounded as though the guards were getting ready to make thier rounds. Soon there would be no time to free the huntress...she'd better do some fancy talking, because Kai was almost paralyzed with fear.

Naja rolls her eyes a bit and sighs as Kaikoura ends up in the official crazy position. "If y- Wait, wait, what happened to the other one?" she asks, trying to look down at Kai through the bars. "Have there been other hunters here?" she asks before glancing to the side, trying to see where the noise was coming from. "Dammit."
She looks back down at Kaikoura and says "Hey, blue chick, someone's coming." in a tone that suggests she's trying to be firm but not loud as to be overheard. "We don't have time for you to have a panic attack. Let me out, quick. I promise, on my honour as a Hunter, I will protect you if you let me out. We can get out of this shit hole together, okay? Trust me. Now get up right now!" Naja, was not a fancy talker. She was the barking kind, but she was doing her best.

Kaikoura practically leaped to her feet at the order. She didn't even look upset about it, she simply looked...collected. Almost like she had earlier, when she first visited the cage. Scared, but doing her duty. She stared at Naja, baton in hand, staring expectantly at her, as if waiting for something. The sound of the guards down the hall grew a bit louder. They weren't coming...yet...but they were done with whatever had been keeping them occupied and now were preparing to come. They didn't have much time.

Naja stares back at Kaikoura, giving her a look that suggests she's confused as to why the alien girl was waiting. "Well? Come on, open the door already! We're running out of time!" she says, gesturing to Kai hurriedly, looking down the hall some to see if she could spot the guards coming. "Quickly now. And act natural about it. Pretend you're... um, taking me somewhere or something." she says, using the gesture for 'keep it down low'. She was panicking just a bit but who wouldn't when they were using a very rushed plan which could fail at any moment and end resulting in possible death or even worse, a future of terrible food. The Hunter thought for a moment and reached down to her cell floor and picked up the only weapon she had available. The platter her food arrived on earlier.

Kai approached the bars and, using the stick as before, released the lock on the door, causing the energy bars to shut down. For a moment, while the bars died, she expected to be attacked. Destroyed like the monster Naja had fought in the arena...but the spring attack didn't come, at least not right away.
"You'll have to follow me, please." Kaikoura, points the baton back towards the stairs she'd come down. "Hurry. Please."

Naja quickly steps out of the cell, glancing down the corridor to see if the guards were close or not... she turns to Kaikoura and nods, holding her metal food tray. "Thanks." she says with a smile before heading in the direction Kai indicated, aiming for the stairs. "I'd like to get a better weapon on the way if we can.. oh and some clothes geeze." The outfit might be more or less just as revealing as what she's used to but she didn't hold with these strange unworldly garbs.

Kaikoura almost had a panic attack right then and there. What had she done?! This...this was the worst thing she could imagine...well, it was up there anyway, and she didn't know what to do with herself now, aside from helping Naja escape that is.
"If it is possible" she says as she gestures towards the stairs, her feet already on the move. Of course, they'd barely made it a step when a voice called out from down the hallway;
"Hey, you! Stop right there!"
The guards had come, or at least one of them had, and by the sound of it, the others had heard him yell. Kai slipped behind Naja...it was time for fight, flight, or lie...and which one would be up to the Huntress.

Naja quickly hurries along, and then stops quickly, looking down at the guard. She glances behind herself at Kaikoura, and says "Gimme your weapon. Quick!" without waiting for a reply of anykind she yanks the stun baton out of Kai's hands, and then bolts towards the guard.
Naja, was not the flight kind of girl. She spins around, throwing the prison platter like a discus, the metal tray flying through the air and smashing into the guard's head before he could even aim his weapon. The last thing he saw, at least for now, was Naja swinging the stun prod right upon his face.
To be fair, she had no idea how to use it. The hunter looks back at Kai, with a grin. "No problem.", tosses the baton back to the blue alien girl, then turns to loot the unconscious guard.

Fortunately for Naja, there wasn't much to using the baton since it was primed. Even if she didn't connect with the shocking part of the head, the thing was hard and heavy. It'd leave a pretty good dent in someone's skull if she hit them with it. Kai squeaks and topples back onto the stairs when the baton is snatched away, and watches in shock as the huntress quickly dispatches the guard. When Naja comes back and tosses her the baton, she nearly drops it, fumbling with it for several seconds before she gets a solid grip.
"Thank you" she squeaks. "Um, come on, this way. Before the others come."
Now she was in real trouble...when the other guards found the first one, they'd sound the alarm. Gartik would be informed and Kai wouldn't be there when he called for her. Her only hope now was that Naja could get her off the station and far away before her helmet was active.

Naja looks up from the body and says "Hold on, just a moment." and tries to find something else she could use. She supposes she didn't have time to strip him of all the armour, and eventually settles for stun baton he was carrying so they at least had two. She grabs the platter she had earlier and nabs a belt off the guard, ties the platter to her arm, and bam, instant sword and shield... well, sort of.
She stands up and hurries after Kai. "Okay, how do we get out of here?" she asks before saying "No, wait, first, I need to kill that fat ugly thing that was on the moving portrait. Called me a uh, spitfire." She pauses and then says "That thing was real right and not like, some... show thing yeah?" Everything here was so confusing.

"We don't have time for that Kaikoura whines softly. "Yes, that was a real thing, it was being broadcast." Kai didn't know much about Naja or her planet, just things she'd seen in passing...she knew she could fight giant monsters, and that was about it.
She leads the Huntress up the stairs, thankful for every moment the alarm wasn't going off. At the top, she led Naja through a doorway which opened into a long service corridor. It was much cleaner than the hall below, and much more otherworldly. The walls were of a brushed-steel like substance and covered with notices and safety posters.
They pass through a kitchen, long since cleaned and closed for the night and soon emerge through a back door and step into an alleyway. This, again, was much different than the space they'd just left. The ground was metal, but heavily dented, wet and grimy. Across the way were large slime covered refuse bins which smelled like they'd never been emptied and all around them were pipes and conduits which barred thier way in all but one direction.
"We don't have much time. We need to get to the docks."

Naja growls and says "I'll kill it quickly then.", gripping her makeshift weapons tightly. She leaves it that though, she couldn't really track that thing down without Kaikoura's help... and it was more important to keep her safe right now.
She continues to follow, and pauses for a moment, very distracted by everything around her, but shakes her head and continues on... everything was so different and just.. bizarre. Hell she was starting to think she was on an entirely different planet! But that would be ridiculous right?
It's a shame the kitchen had nothing in it, as Naja was hungry (as always) but when they headed out into the alley she nearly wretched, suddenly having to lean against a wall. "What the hell!?" she shouts out, putting her hand over her mouth, not for the shout but the smell. "That's disgusting!" The Huntress of course, comes from an open air desert city. Hot, but generally quite clean air. The worst thing they had might be manure carts and even then it smelt natural. This was just wrong.
She keeps her hand over her mouth and says "Docks? Oh damn we're on an island huh? All right hope you know how to sail."
