[OOC- actually a Corporal, but close enough]
Balus nodded at his orders. "Yessir." He replied and immediately began looking for equipment for the others to use. He smirked slightly as he realized the easiest way to get weapons would be to find a landing party and taken some from them.

Krystal agrees with everything so far but not sure what she can do at this time. As such until the time is her skills are called on she helps Balus search for things that could be made into makshift weapons.

Shingu untied a flap on his bag. The length of cloth unfurled and revealed a short sword version of the chopper over his shoulder paired with a matching dagger, two wooden batons, and what appeared to be a sickle attached to a weighted chain.
"I have some extra weapons you may use if you want." Whatever means he used to better speak Seeronian still remained in effect. He had no clue if the humans he met with Reika would know how to use these weapons or preferred technology.
"I know we are a bit busy now, but we still do not know your names. After we get out of this, perhaps you will introduce yourselves." Shingu found it odd that the humans or Seeronians as it were, appeared to be strangers on the planet as well, but had seen fit to interrogate him and Reika, then appoint themselves in charge. He didn't mind too much, as he was a stranger to this world, and it seemed their universe. Better to listen and to do as told by people with experience dealing with the invaders from above.
"It seems you and your team are part of an army. If we can't find the soldiers of this planet, doesn't it make sense to find a way to call your superiors and get some reinforcements? There's a few of us, and this appears to be a landing. We'll need to be guerillas, because the canine aliens of this planet don't seem to have a lot of fight in them. The prison where they kept us seemed to be reinforced, but I don't know what kind of shape it's in.
"It might make a good fortification, but doesn't it make more sense to keep moving if we're about to be overrun? Stay ahead of the enemy, rather than allow them to surround us."

" He is the superior." Balus replied, motioning to the Captain. He found it odd that neither of the newcomers were bothered by either his size, but decided not to push the issue. He looked at the weapons, then shook his head. " I better stick to what I use best." He held up a cinder block sized fist and smirked. " Captain, should we try the laser repulsor thing, or save it? I know it was my idea, but now I'm worried we'll only get one crack at it before we give ourselves away."

Fegh regards the new comers, "to call in reinforcements would be to risk our ship to enemy attack. For now any resistance that will be shown must come from us. We do not know the nature or size of the attacking force so for now we need some place that can serve as a command center to direct our forces. Once we know the number of ground troops we will encounter, and where they will be landing, then we can be better prepared to deal with them."

"Captain Jhon Robhen, Seeronian Ship Victory." The Captain introduces himself as the group starts clearing out the debris in a now desolate school building of somekind, judging from the layout and the presence of lecture halls. "Secure here for now, and let's slowly start bringing in locals. We need to know more about these people and whom they might have pissed off to bring down this kind of ...." He sighs. "Windows. Now."
He rushes to the windows, and assuming you follow, you see the same giant cylindrical ship lowering past the cloud of dust and debris to land where the administration building was.
Von Carmyn was the first to speak up. "I don't think we're in a diplomatic situation anymore."

Krystal heads to the window looking out and lets out a low level whistle. Minorly worried about what is yet to come. Her mind swims with ideas on what to do and how to take on this ship.

Fegh runs to the window as well. He looks out and sees the ship. "I wonder if that is a landing craft. If it is, we may soon be overwhelmed sir."
Fegh finds it odd that the native aliens with them haven't said anything since the attack started. Not even answering the many questions presented to them. He looks at the captain, "sir assuming the native population will not fight back, the small force we have here is all the resistance we have. How can we overcome our enemy?"
While Fegh has many idea's military strategy was not really what he studied while in school. He hoped the captain had some plan, since their hosts have been no help, and none of the remarks of improvised weaponry were answered or addressed.

Balus tried to lighten the situation. " Should I go over and say hello?"

"Perhaps not use the communications on your ship. Maybe you should useru the communication here on the ground somwhere," Shingu said. His tongues spell wore off mid sentence.
"Hai gunchou," Shingu said upon being ordered to the window. He peered out, fascinated by the landing. Years of his life passed since he last saw a space ship land.
"What type of UFO isa this?" In Japanese the term UFO was popular for all alien spacecraft, even identified. "What cul-cha makes this type? Is thissa known enumy?"

The Captain looked at Shingu. "We'll be out of communications range for a day at least. We're on our own."
Fegh, from what you can gather from the locals, they only have a small group of police with no lethal capabilities - most of the population seems to not understand how real violence works. But there's a mated pair that seems very reluctant to answer all your questions for some reason.
Von looks at Balus. "Probably not wise Corporal." Krystal and Balus see the ship extrudes out a landing tripod - each leg is the size of a skyscraper, as it sheers through some of the still standing buildings before landing.

Krystal offers. "Perhaps a small strike team would be best for this situation. I mean if we got to the ship undetected and attacked one of the legs knocking the ship over and hope that helps keep them from launching the ship into space. Or a small strike team so we can see first hand what technology is on board that can be taken for either the planet or ourselves." She is not sure what the Captains response will be but hopes the idea is a good one.

Balus shook his head at Krystal. " No good, we don't know how many more are in orbit. I was thinking of just trying to lure out some of them and drawing them off so we'd know what we were up against and a chance to grab some better weaponry, preferably laser rifles or similar

"For this maybe ittta is guud for us to observe and discover weakuness and the enumy's identuty and obajective," said Shingu. "We can engage in assaurt of smarr groups of enumy when they are no expecting, sabu-tojje when possible, and orgunize more lesistunce groups."
Attacking directly with such a small number on the team would be a folly, but guerrilla tactics always worked well against a superior force. It kept them off balance, and from establishing a foothold in occupied territory. Small victories encouraged more to join the resistance, and caused disorganization on the other side. Small losses of manpower for the enemy could be absorbed, but loss of leadership and material made occupations costly. Furthermore, if they could escape or summon reinforcements from somewhere-anywhere, any information they had on the enemy could prove valuable.

Fegh watches the ship land, and thinks for a moment. He says, "sir, I am wondering about new guests," motioning towards the landing ship. "They seemed to know exactly what they needed to enter orbit, it seems as if they knew exactly what to was needed. They may have planned well to take this planet. If that is so they may expect the residents to be pacifistic and easily overcome. Showing some form of concentrated resistance may be all that is needed to delay them. Perhaps make them rethink their strategy."
