Jarkov Malachai
A simple Traveler, consumed by Wanderlust.
Until the Dredge gets control of the AI. A Malachai would be able to. Bob knows what im talking about.AlphaDraco said:I would give a number for the Rooktan's reaction movements, but I'm not good with translating speed to a measurable number. I'm better at giving in story examples of their speed than the numbers themselves, but they can dodge a punch to the face if they sense it coming in time.
As for the close combat, it truly depends on the arena. Dark cave or human ship, the Dredge will most likely win. However, in a swamp the Rooktan have the advantage, as well as a Rooktan Ship setting. In fact, it would be quite hard for a Dredge to stowaway on a Rooktan ship thanks to the ship being built for Rooktan physiology and psychology. Rooktan ships don't have air ducts like human ships do, mainly because the Rooktan preferring extremely humid environments, so the Dredge can't do a sneak attack that way unless they can fit through pipes several inches wide that recycle the air. Heck, they probably would not even be able to stay on a Rooktan ship long enough to hide thanks to the ship's AI. They monitor everything on the ship to make sure that nothing breaks and that there are no stowaways, so a Dredge that gets on board would probably be ejected into the vacuum of space.
