CHARACTERS: Rory [OPEN TO ALL]
LOCATION: Anywhere!
WARNINGS: nada
SUMMARY: Rory is taking a break from the MedBay and is doing a bit of exploring on his own


He had taken to spending a lot of his time in the MedBay reading up on the technology at hand and looking after those few who came in. It was strange how he would look up and realize he'd been in the same position for a day or more. True, he'd gotten used to this plastic body, but he still thought like human Rory and worried a bit at how easy it was for him to just be. Today he wasn't going to worry.

Stepping out of the MedBay he headed in a random direction and decided to explore the ship a bit. He wasn't as adventurous as the Doctor or Amy, but there was still a little boy inside him pointing out that he was on a REAL spaceship and all he'd been doing was reading. Giving into that voice he had decided to give in and go for a walk.

Kroton was out doing his usual rounds through the halls, exploring and mostly keeping an optical receiver out for any suspicious activity, or people in trouble.

As he passes Rory in the hall, he gives a small, nonchalant wave and continues on.

Out of habit Rory nodded back, but then something clicked and he was reaching for a sword he no longer carried. Cursing himself for leaving it in his locker he released his gun and aimed. "Oi!"

[whatanovelty]

He looked over his shoulder once before turning completely around to face Rory, having heard the heard the gun click before the shout even left his mouth. Autons and Cybermen had nothing to do with one another, typically, so he wondered why this one was quick to be hostile.

"Hello to you, too," he said with his arms raised, to about the height of his shoulders. He stopped his arms there, trusting that Rory would see that he was otherwise unarmed, instead reaching for the bo-staff attached to his back.

A greeting was far from what he was expecting, although if he thought logically he really wasn't expecting anything. Slowly he loosened his stance and lowered his arm slightly before the words of the Doctor came back at him.

"You're a-a friend of the Doctor's, right? Proton?"

[whatanovelty]

Being a friend of the Doctor's wasn't the best possible thing in some situations. While he was a good friend the both of them, Izzy certainly had a few stories to tell about their adventures together, and the sort of people that they ran into. Kroton kept his stance, but lowered his arms slightly and nodded.

"Kroton. I am. You... know him too?"

[last_centurion]

His arm lowers more. The Doctor had mentioned the...machine...but seeing the thing in person was completely different from one of the Doctor's throwaway comments.

"Yeah. I'm Rory. Williams."

He nods to his arm before putting it all the way down. "Sorry. Last time I met one of you he was trying to kill my fiance."

[whatanovelty]

"It's good to meet you, Rory," he says, easing his posture.

Mentions of the Cybermen harming others makes him angry, but he keeps calm, only because he doesn't want Rory to be any more nervous than he might already be. He shakes his head. "Heh, sounds about right. Your fiance wasn't hurt, I hope?"

[last_centurion]

"No, I, uh, well, stopped it." Killed it really, but he didn't want to mention that. For all he knew it could have been this guy's brother or even mother, not that he thought the Cybermen actually had family relations.

He really didn't mean to stare, but standing there across from Kroton it was all he could do. The 'man' looked like something off a bad scifi show, but Rory knew how dangerous he could really be. Blushing slightly when he realized how long he'd been staring he forced himself to relax a bit. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."
