Okay, go get her, take her down, but be careful around the bananas!
The professor, still too heavily restrained to do much beyond engage in this sort of debate continues. "Setting aside the matter of how that would at all be a reasonable point of interest to pin down at the expense of such a difficult to obtain test subject, I would think it would still be best to first more carefully examine your subject in their natural environment. Humans, male or female actually seem to have a remarkable knack for finding other creatures attractive and successfully interbreeding. In fact beyond dragons and the supernatural, I do believe we have the dubious honor of being the most generally compatible of all known life. Victor there in particular, from what little I have observed, does not seem particularly choosy in the field of romance, and it's entirely possible he might have fancied your ape before any modification, which I imagine would rather strongly throw matters off."
"Incidentally, do you have that formula you just used written down somewhere? I've been toying with similar concoctions, but mine have all been limited to creatures of an initially similar nature."
Hey, professor, I'm not sure I follow all that, but are you asking me out on a date. 'Cause I like you and all, but I sort of got a thing for your assistant, so no hard feelings.
"Victor... she's a Gnome. If you see nothing wrong with this: How many times were you dropped on your head as a child?"
][Interjection; Query; Immediate Relevance?][ Great Mastiff intrudes on this highly intellectual discourse to remind his fellow refugees of more pressing matters at hand.
"No, miss... what's your name? Anyways, no. Humans can't breed with any race shorter than themselves without magic. I don't know why, but that's the way it is."
Elai tries to quietly use her Mage Hand natural ability to loosen her own bonds, while the scientist is distracted.
Wow, no I see nothing wrong with her because of her size, unless you are implying something else, *cough* racist *cough*
"Victor, we are different species. The fact that humans can successfully breed with anything other than humans is amazing in itself."
**Sigh**][Correction; Copulation =/= Procreation...][ Suddenly, Great Mastiff realizes he has been drawn into a discussion regarding one of the...
ickier things about humans, shudders, (incidentally releasing the mad, morally deficient, scientist) and strides towards the exit.
][Declaration; Departing. Query; Accompaniment?][
"I'll come with you. Victor is a lost cause."
The professor shrugs. "Well frankly, at the moment it would appear I'm at your mercy with all I possess in easy reach, so I'm not really in a position to disagree with any sort of deal along those lines."
"UHM?! Celes exclaims as she makes an effort to break from her bonds.
Though being bound was something she had grown accustomed to, breaking out was the thing she had always been bad at, though that would not stop her rants as she shouted for the free ones. "If you all leave us here, and I get away, I'm going to make it my personal mission to destroy everything you hold dear in this life. Get ME out!".
This was a bad place to be, she knew it, and she was much better with a silver tongue, not one sharp to the teeth. But the conversation she was taking in was far too relax for her to feel comfortable in the least.
Turning once more to those within the chamber still bound, Great Mastiff steps in. ][Statement; Threats, Unnecessary. Implication, hurtful.][
Lisa helps Mastiff untie everyone.
"THANK you," Celes finally manages, exasperated. Her dress is dirty, a shame, she is going to need to wash it before they go. She takes a look around for her bag to see if she can find it. Once she is free, of course, is when she rubs against her wrist an pats Mastiff on the head. "I'll keep that in mind," Though when Lisa gets to her she kind of huffs and nods. "Thank you too, it's good to see you CAN do other things but stab all day,"
Great Mastiff Harmphs slightly before determining who else is in need & desires to be freed.
"Thanks", when she is released from her shackles.
"Well, I say we bind this one." Beckoning to mysterious NPC. "Then let's find this Stardust and stop this crazy idea of theirs.
um, hello, a liitle help here.
"I agree, we should leave right now. I'm starting to hate this atmosphere."
"Oh, ok Victor. I figure you liked this." Walks over and unwraps Victor from his restraints.
"i will leave when I find my things. I did not get abducted for that bag just to leave it here now."
][Statement; present circumstances trying. Admonition; interpersonal verbal attacks, counterproductive.][ Great Mastiff warns the others as he makes for the exit.
Lisa follows Mastiff through the exit. Before she does so, though, she summons a Mage Hand to slap Victor.
"Stop being so useless, you buffoon."

You find your gear in a room nearby. But other than the sick little "doctor", you see no other humanoids. But every once in a while you hear a terrible scream.
You finally come to a fork in a hallway which presents you with a dilemma. Despite being from Golarion each of you can read the Lashunta sign just fine. The experiments must have been extensive!
*All PCs, New Ability Acquired - Language: Lashunta*
Left: Exit
Right: Portal to Eox
Strait: Play Bunny Rooms
That is so very, very redundant...
The professor, once set free, makes certain his various instruments and implements have not been harmed, and considers what sort of extracts a day of jungle exploration might call for having at the ready.
][Comprehension; Query; Eox, In-system planetary body?][ Great Mastiff muses while reading the signs.
Celes as well, once her things are set in place, she goes through it to start grabbing her set gear for more combat appropriation. No shame on this one as she discards her lovely gown for the night time and places it in the bag. "If we must stop this," she muses with her back to everyone, changing with all due haste as given. "I guess that Arael would be our first and only clue, though I doubt we will find much forgiveness at this point... We did kill a couple of their companions,"
Once changed, she turned back in time to see everyone leaving. That was her own fault, though, she knew. She quickly runs up to the professor, watching as he goes through his things. "Need a hand with that, friend?" Clearly, a new target was in order for her. Though the screams coming from other rooms was more than troublesome. It made her shiver a bit, thinking that could have been her as she moves closer to the professor. "You WILL make sure that doesn't happen to us, right? I couldn't bear the thought being taken away from all of you,"
And so begins another web of deceit.
During the conversation about whether or not humans and gnomes could interbreed, using Victor and Figit as prime examples, Figit mutters "You know, no one really is asking my opinion on this matter. Would be nice to have a choice in who I sleep with." However, her mutterings come to a halt as her bonds are loosened.
As they came into the new room, Figit rushed over to her bag. Seems when the aliens stored her things, they forgot to take away the raygun! She chuckles darkly, thinking of the damage this weapon can cause. However, it is time to change out of the clothes she was put in and back into her armor.
Figit glances around and realizes that not only is she surrounded by strangers, one in particular is a horndog. Blushing in embarrassment she casts Vanish to disappear for about half a minute, long enough to swiftly change. Once she reappears, she adjusts her clothes and takes a look at the signs. Figit thinks Remarkable! They implanted their language directly into our minds. Realizing the implications, she immediately begins to search her skull for injection marks, lacerations or any other sign of surgical tampering.
Once satisfied with her search, Figit examines the signs again and says to the group, "Based on what that Stardust floozy was saying, our fellow Golarionans were taken for pleasure purposes. If we want to rescue them, the best bet would be to head to the...Bunny Play Room...Gods, what kind of name is that? Her speech started off heroic but turned exacerbated as soon as she had to read that name. Gods only know what pick up lines Victor would try in that room.
I rub my wrists and stand around for a moment
Who said anything about sleeping with anybody? You people are,
I spin my finger near my head
missing a few gears in your clocks, if you ask me. I'm only saying she's cute, maybe we could get a cup of coffee and a bana... I mean a cheesecake. After a couple of dates maybe do a little kissing by the park. Really, I think there are a lot of, you know, frustrated people in this little party.
The professor blinks at Celes. "Well, I certainly strive to prevent any sort of harm to come from anyone, in principle, but I don't exactly have the physique to play bodyguard to anyone. Especially not at my age."
Figit mutters "You know, no one really is asking my opinion on this matter. Would be nice to have a choice in who I sleep with."
"Now you see, this is precisely the sort of situation I'd worry you'd find yourself in the moment you stepped into such a disreputable establishment as that inn." Glancing around the room, he adds, "Well, maybe not exactly like this. I would agree that this... 'bunny room' would have to be far more sinister than the name implies. Let's all prepare for the worst and venture forth, shall we?"
Prepping Enlarge Person x3, passing them out as desired, then onward to bunnies it is!
"Professor, I can handle myself quite well in a bar like the Rusted Buckle. I may have a slight problem controlling my life when I am strapped to a rocket ship and shot to an alien planet. Also, I would like to take this moment to say this: For all the arguments we've had over the years, all the papers you attempted to discredit, all the hope I had that aliens were real, I told you so."
"Quite so... and with luck, we'll return unharmed when this is all over, allowing you to publish a paper on the subject!"
Well she didn't flinch when undressing, she wouldn't flinch from the abstract self consideration that the professor gave off. "Oh your plenty enough man, don't sell yourself short," Though her attempts at gaining favor with a silver tongue quickly switched as everyone moved off to talk about entering the bunny play room.
"Are we going in with the intent to kill? Or are we going to try tact this time around? I think we should decide our method of approach... BEFORE everything gets far too chaotic... Again,"
"I would love to have an intelligent discussion with these beings and not have to disintegrate them. But, if they start to shoot I'm sure as the Hells shooting back."

You follow the hall toward the Bunny Room until you come to an elevator. A sultry Lashunta sits here blowing bubblegum bubbles. She addresses Elai and Lisa, rolling her eyes. Okay, so you've made your picks. Good. You know the drill. Go down the elevator, get through the three tests, and if you come out the other side with your Golarionite men still alive then Commander Stardust will release you from Saucer Fleet service. You will be free to go back to your homes and repopulate Castrovel. Are you ready?
Seeing the two Lashunta drawing away from the rest, Great Mastiff turns to the others. ][Statement; optimal probability of return/maintain cohesion.][
][Query; follow, Y/N?][ He adds, pointing to the receding natives.
I'll follow behind Celes, and try to keep everyone in sight
I whisper
I got no idea what's going on right now, dolls
The professor sighs to himself at the realization this is clearly now where the bulk of captives are being held. "So if I may be so bold as to ask, what manner of disaster has depopulated the males of your own race? And have you, in fact, had any real success in using humans as, for lack of a better word, replacements? I'd imagine a certain lack of compatibility, being from another world, and that you'd have more luck with local sources... or at least with elves. They are, one assumes, still somewhat acclimated to the environment..."
"come on then bunnies,let's see if we can get out of here."
"So commander Stardust is down that way?"
