Hanging around (Johnny/Waddle Dee Squad Interaction)

Johnny was walking around the ship and found himself at the hanger of the ship and looking at awe at ships present taking note of each one of there designs. "So this is where they keep all the ships? Good to know." Johnny never thought he would see real-life space ships he was curious about how they were designed. Were these ships anything like the ones back on Earth? how much fuel do they use? What do they use as fuel?

Johnny was filled with so many questions about this place? "I wonder if anyone is here right now?" Johnny couldn't see anyone at the moment, he assumed most people would be sleeping. Johnny was thinking of coming back here later? He would like around a little more first. "I wonder how fast these ships can go?" These ships really were something else.

Johnny would hear sounds of movement farther in the Hangar and as he walked around looking over the ships he would come upon the sight of several of the spherical Waddle-dee's running around apparently preforming Maintenance on the ships currently in the hangar, all of them working together to reach things that would normally be out of reach or passing tools to the ones that needed them all without a word uttered by any of the little guys.

Some where even doing Maintenance on the Hangar itself repairing bulkheads, replacing lights, some even just cleaning the floors and walls, Over all it was a silent running but highly efficient looking team working on things, even a few more were working on odd little ships that looked like they were to small for normal people to fit into and even looked like stereotypical UFO's.

Johnny would notice the Waddle Dees moving around doing their work. He sorted of stared at them as they were working he saw them working earlier at the meeting. The people on the ships called them Waddle Dees and from Johnny was told these guys were pretty useful, they pretty much run the ship. Johnny then said out loud without addressing a particular Waddle Dee "So you guys are Waddle Dees?"

These cute adorable workers have definitely caught Johnny's attention. Johnny was impressed with their work ethic, but then Johnny noticed the small UFO's, Johnny was amazed that some ships in the hanger look like UFOs flying saucers. Johnny then tried to get one of the Waddle Dee's attention. "Hi excuse me little Waddle Dee but do you know who owns this UFO? I would be curious to learn how it flies. It doesn't look like it has wings? Or rockets for that matter?" Johnny had searched up information regarding UFO's back at his home in Florida but to see one in real life was quite a shock to him, now he is filled with questions about the aerodynamics of this spacecraft.

When Johnny first spoke up the Waddle-dee's all turned to look at him and nodded to answer his question, then they waved and returned to work the question answered, the work going quite smoothly as one Waddle-dee rushed in from behind Johnny, not bumping into him but just passing near to him, carrying a large box of parts and tools over it's head, and placing it down near the others, who started to grab parts and tools and race off to deliver them to different Waddle-dee's working on other things in the hangar.

The Waddle-dee Johnny started to talk to turned around and looked up at the taller person standing there listening to his questions and then looking at the little UFO, now that Johnny was closer he could see that they were to small for a human to fit into and operate, but it looked like it would be just the right size for the Waddle-dee's. The Waddle-dee he was talking to seemed to stand there looking at Johnny for a moment then another Waddle-dee ran over from apparently outside the hangar and delivered a note pad and pen to the Waddle-dee that Johnny had addressed, it then waved to Johnny and then scooted on out of the Hangar again it's reason for being there apparently done.

Meanwhile the Waddle-dee that he had been talking to was writing on the notepad and after a few moments turned it around and held it up for Johnny to read "These ships belong to the ship, yes it has no wings and no rockets" as he held up the notepad another Waddle-dee hopped into the little UFO and closed the door, the little pads under the ship started to glow gently and it rose into the air and started to very slowly fly around so Johnny could see it working.

Johnny looked amazed at how the ship moved around, its just like a flying saucer to him this is incredible as the people back home could only dream of making a ship like this. "Woah look at it go." Johnny looked in awe as the Waddle Dee flew around in the tiny ship. it was hard to take his eyes off it, it was able to fly without the needs of conventional aviation tools, Johnny was trying to figure out how this ship flies in the first place? is through Magnets, is it through complicated Quantum physics, Johnny wants to know. "How is it able to fly?"

Johnny was also starting to wonder how many Waddle Dees are on the ship? He did keep seeing them everywhere so there is no way its the same group of Waddle Dees from the bridge? Unless there super fast or something bizarre like that? Johnny wouldn't dismiss the idea these little guys do seem to move rather quickly. "I hope you guys don't mind me asking another question, how many Waddle Dees are there working on the S.S Philemon?" Johnny figured there is no harm asking the Waddle Dees, they seem friendly enough to answer questions.

The Waddle-dee's continued their other work in the hangar, some were now cleaning the place where some of the others had made a mess, the ones that moved on had gone on to do other maintenance tasks, this insured that there was a constant clean up after a task was done so it was leaving the place very well cared for as they worked.

The little Waddle-dee Trouble-Bubble continued to fly around a bit till Johnny turned to ask more questions, the ship then moved over to a docking area apparently designed for these little swarm fighters, and the Waddle-dee powered down the ship and hopped out before rushing over to help a few other Waddle-dee's clean up the place

The one Waddle-dee that he was talking to was already scribbling away on the note pad to answer his question about the ship, and then held it up for him to read as it finished "We were told it was something called Repulsor tech, we don't understand it ourselves, but we were taught how to take care of it" Then he asked his other question about how many of them there were on the ship, and it started to scribble away once more, and after a bit more time it turned the note pad again so he could read "all of us"

Repulsor Tech huh? Johnny would have to remember that for later, he could probably ask Eli about it next time he sees him. All this future tech was rather amazing to Johnny. Johnny was busy being amazed by the idea of a repulser engine when it noticed what the Waddle Dee wrote down. All of us, Johnny was a little confused by this statement all of us? "Wait a minute that can't be right? You guys are telling me you're entire species live on the ship? He thinks that what's the Waddle Dees meant when they wrote that? Unless they have been bred on this ship or something. Johnny wanted to ask more questions about these guys but didn't really know how to approach the little guys as they appeared to be quite busy with what appears to be maintenance.

Johnny raised his finger for a moment before carefully thinking about what he would say next, Johnny then decided to ask the Waddle Dees another question "What planet did you guys come from?" This would be the first time Johnny asked an alien this question, he was imagining what kind of an environment the Waddle Dee's homeworld is like to have life evolve into Waddle Dees, was it like earth? Johnny would have to wait on the Waddle Dees to respond.

The Waddle-dee listened to Johnny nodding patiently waiting with him as the cyborg watched the operation of one of the Trouble-Bubbles, Other Trouble-Bubbles now taking off to return to their normal place in the hangar, others were hopping into other Trouble-Bubbles and driving them down to where the Waddle-dee's were working and hopping back out to work on them.

It was about then that a Mega Waddle-dee walked in, a Waddle-dee three times the size of the other normal Waddle-dee's and it started to lend a hand gently lifting some of the trouble-Bubbles to allow the normal sized ones to get underneath when they needed to and the other equipment to do so was in use by other Waddle-dee's.

The Waddle-dee with Johnny let him finish asking questions before it started to write, not really understanding his first question, but it wrote an answer anyway, as for the second question that was far easier to answer as it wrote happily for a bit before finishing up and looking at it a moment then nodding to itself and turning the notepad around for Johnny to read.

"We are all here all of us, As for what planet we came from Popstar...well and some others came from other places....some of the Dee's came from Planet Robobot, some from Halcandra, but we are all Waddle-dee" it nodded with a smile as Johnny read the note.

Johnny took a moment to read the note the Waddle Dee's presented at him. "So you guys come from 3 different planets huh? What were they like?" Johnny would look at the Waddle Dee with a curious look so far all the ones he met seem to be the same for the most part, that was until he saw the Mega Waddle Dee, Johnny's eyes widened at the size of this particular Waddle Dee. "WOAH!"

Johnny did not expect Waddle Dees to get this big, Johnny walked closer to the Mega Dee trying to get well a closer look at the big Waddle Dee "I thought you Waddle Dee fellas were all small guys, but look at this absolute unit of a Waddle Dee." Johnny was then starting wonder why this Waddle Dee was so big compared to the others, was it a mutation of sorts? Johnny then asked any of the Waddle Dees that would listen to him "Do Waddle Dees come in any other sizes? Now I am intrigued." Johnny was curious to learn about these handy dandy creatures.

The waddle-dee nodded and started to write a reply when Johnny was distracted by the Mega Waddle-dee that had wandered in to help, the little waddle-dee with the notepad scooted along behind Johnny still writing as the Mega Waddle-dee looked over at Johnny and gave a little wave and a smile before returning all it's attention to helping the normal waddle-dee's, who at the moment were working on maintenance on the Trouble-Bubbles that were just brought down.

The Waddle-dee that was writing continued as Johnny asked a few more questions and it wrote faster not wanting to leave him waiting, and finally after a few moments it finished and read it nodding before turning it around and holding it up for Johnny to see.

"we come from more then that really, but those are the planets which most of the obvious Variants come from, the planets were nice, we liked them, that's why we headed out to save the planets of others, that way we could save our own in time. and yes we come in a variety of sized and types, there are Colossal Waddle-dee's, large Waddle-dee's, Big Waddle-dee's, and Tiny Waddle-dee's,"

Colossal Waddle Dees? Johnny was trying to visualize how big this potential Waddle Dee could be, after all the big one was already an absolute unit like how much bigger can this Colossal Waddle Dee be? Johnny just kept looking at the Waddle Dees work on their little tasks until he decided to ask one of the Waddle Dees something "Could you take me to the Colossal Dee you mentioned, I am curious to see how big you guys can be." Well no time like the present, Johnny wanted to see how big these orb people can get.

Regardless if the Waddle Dees took Johnny to the largest of the brethren or not Johnny would ask the Waddle Dees a fairly important question, this time about their modules. "Hey sorry for asking so many questions but I have to ask, do you guys have a module? I don't see one on any of you guys? Do you guys even have a plug?" Johnny can't see a module on the Waddle Dees, if they did have a module he couldn't see it. Maybe they're similar to demons like Drop Bear? The more the guitar thinks about the more questions he has. Might make for a good song.

The one Waddle-dee with the note pad was simply waiting by Johnny as he seemed to go quiet to contemplate something, the Waddle-dee waved to a few other passing Waddle-dee's as it waited beside him looking back up the to ASSW as it patiently waited, it was there to help him now after all, and then he asked his question about being taken to one of the Colossal Waddle-dee's and the one with the note pad nodded and started to scoot off waving to Johnny to follow.

as they waled the ASSW asked another question, asking about their Modules, the Waddle-dee nods as he was asked if they had one, and starts to write as it scoots about leading Johnny to the Colossal Waddle-dee he asked to see, as they walked it turned around and continued to walk backwards now as it held up the notepad which read

"Yes we have Modules, they are small and the plugs are colored on the top like our skin so they don't stand out" it said as it held up it's little arm to show Johnny the small seem on it's arm where the plug was, if the plug wasn't there it would be rather obvious there was a Module there.

As it finished asking the question the two of them walked into a separate part of the hanger, one where some of the more normal sized ships were being worked on and standing there helping the normal sized Waddle-dee's was a Colossal-Dee easily five times the size of a normal Waddle-dee and it was holding up one of the fighters like it was a toy to let other normal sized Waddle-dee's work on it. It looked over to Johnny and used it's free hand to wave to him.

Johnny felt Sqeumish trying to visualize where the Waddle Dees have placed their modules, he remembered that when he borrowed that module from that dead body and when Alex used a module it would dig into the skin of the user. On a human, Johnny could visualize it without feeling too sick, but on these Waddle Dees, it was like giving a puppy a module, sure it's necessary but oh god that's not a pleasant thing to think about, well thankfully Johnny isn't the doctor on board so he didn't have to deal with that icky stuff. Well on the bright side for Johnny it didn't look unpleasant it just looked like a bump so thankfully no blood like the other times he saw people use it. "Well you Waddle Dees did a good job of hiding your modules. Just Wow." Johnny kept looking at the module from different angles.

Johnny's attention would soon be captured by the sheer size of the Colossal Dee "WOAH!" it seemed friendly though so that was a relief but Johnny look of surprise hadn't left his face. "How do you Waddle Dees get so big? How much juice do you drink? How long on the treadmill you can run?" The idea of size disparity with different members of species wasn't a new concept to Johnny but for something as small as the Waddle Dees he didn't wake up from his rest thinking he would encounter such a big Waddle Dee. Johnny would just stare at the Massive Dee going about its business repairing ships. Johnny was started to wonder what other Dees patrol the hallways of the S.S Philemon.

The Waddle-dee's continued their work, wandering around and cleaning and fixing up the fighters and putting them through system checks, as well as cataloging their supplies and spare parts, the Colossal-Dee was still helping them with the one fighter but as they finished with it, it placed the ship down gently then walked over to the next, oddly enough it didn't seem to step with the weight of something it's size, where one would expect heavy foot falls instead there was just a more bassy boop boop boop, sound that the Normal Waddle-dee's made when they walked about it wasn't even that much louder ether.

The Waddle-dee that was with Johnny nodded as he praised them on keeping the modules well hidden, and as he asked about the Colossal-dee it started to write on it's notepad so it could answer his question. Turning it around and very gently tugging on his pants leg the Waddle-dee let him read what it wrote "Colossal-dee's appear when needed or when there aren't many of them, they eat as much as a normal Waddle-dee, we can run as long as we have energy" It answered honestly, though it was clear it didn't quite understand some of the questions or it didn't realize he wanted an exact number of time or something as it stood there happily glad it could be helpful and answer his questions

Johnny was in utter disbelief when he learned that the Colossal Dee didn't need to eat much, for the Guitar this raises another question "So how much do you guys need to eat? With your size I can't imagine much, but with the revelation that Colossal Dees exist and that they don't need more then you smaller Dees, it just makes me wonder? How much of the Ship's supplies do you guys eat?" Johnny wasn't too aware of the food situation on the ship but it would have to be fairly good in order to keep a bunch of little goons running around doing close to everything on the ship, literally wherever Johnny goes the Waddle Dees are everywhere, he was half sure these guys were half the people on board. The logistics for Waddle Dees can't be easy at all to deal with. But then again they are sentient so maybe they are self sufficient?

"Hey do you guys like music? Do any of you know how to dance?" if the Waddle Dees have a degree of sentience they should at least of some taste in music are the thoughts running for Johnny's head, there were so many questions that he wanted to ask these strange aliens but he had a feeling the conversation will go on forever if it did ask all of those questions. So the cyborg started to formulate different questions to ask the Waddle Dees, he was brainstorming a whole list of questions so that he can just go rapid fire on them when the list is finally completed. He would keep going at this until the Waddle Dees once again answered his questions.
