Numa nodded and walked outside. The buildings to Shia resembled body parts - they seemed shaped after hearts, lungs etc. They even pulsed slightly.

Shia felt a little uncomfortable being here, only because it reminded her of a Nakora torture chamber.

Numa checked on Shia. "Any word from your people yet?"

Shia checked her PDA "Small signal, shows their latching on slowly. I think their calibrating the transmissions to adapt to your environment."

Numa nodded. "Where do you fancy going?"

"where is there to go?" Shia asked.

"Well, where do you usually like going?" Numa replied.

"Bar...bar...bar...you mean a pub?" Numa asked.

"Does that have a place that serves drinks?" Shia asked.

"Drinks?" Numa asked.

"it's solid?" Came the question.

"No, its liquid. Like i said earlier, solid metals develop radioactive rust very quickly. Harmless but annoying." Numa told Shia.

shia nodded understanding.
