Your heart drops to your stomach as the round bottomed skunk's eyes fall directly on you and she makes a direct march for your ranger station. At over 12 feet tall, she covers the ground quickly. Her shipmates tag along with her, but aren't sure exactly what they're heading toward.
"Suzy, what are we..." the vixen asks, but is cut off by the skunk, who is apparently Suzy.
"Shhh!" she demands. "I've found the little native, he's inside this structure. Fan out and cover the sides to make sure he can't get away. But give my plenty of space," she says with a smile, flicking her tail knowingly. "Just in case."
The other anthers nod and surround your station, but don't get too close. They've all experienced the power of Suzy's spray previously and aren't anxious to endure it again, even by accident. You quickly close and secure the door and retreat to the middle of the one room station.
"Hello in there little one," you hear Suzy coo from just outside your door. "I know you're afraid, but we don't mean you any harm. I do need you to come with me though. Don't make me come in there to subdue you. I know you have smaller creatures similar to me on your planet, so you must have an idea of what I'm capable of. But I promise you these thin walls will offer you no protection if you force my hand."
She says these words in a gentle tone, but there is a definite sense of firmness and impatience in her voice. You know you don't have much time to make a decision.
