A small alleyway, near the end of the day.
Monci wasn’t sure what he needed to see here. If anything, he desired confirmation. That the Saiyans weren’t bad people, that it was a bad idea to hold a grudge on a people who was merely following orders. Stories tend to get warped in a way that suits whoever is telling it, so it wasn’t too strange to have Tuffles depict their new neighbors as savage bloodthirsty beasts. Given the recent events, it was hard not to give them reason and yet, there was this scientific curiosity to quench.
Nothing better than a hands-on approach. That was what he told himself as he wandered far beyond the limits of the Lychee Sector and well into Saiyan territory. The plan was foolish at best, but the scientist was nothing, if not a risk-taker. What’s more, he had a handful of contingency plans should the need arise, but he would rather not have to make use of the exosuit just yet. The prototype was functional, so long as the usage remained short and not too heavy on the specs.
For a disguise, he put on a cloak covering his body and head. Given his height, he could pass for a child, maybe an orphan or a war refugee. It didn’t matter, so long as he was not bothered. It worked for a while, but as the day progressed the city got more and more active with workers coming back and going about their evening. Quickly, Monci found himself not so confident about the disguise and opted for an alleyway to wait it out. Unfortunately, it was the wrong place at the wrong time for the Tuffle who, following a quick chain of events, found himself in the clutches of street thugs, smacked around as they saw through his disguise. Those grunts of pain certainly weren’t that of a child! And that feeble body, certainly not that of a Saiyan! Not wanting to get more undesired attention, he pleaded to the thugs.
“Hold on, I believe this is enough! I have nothing of value to give, please let me go on my way and I swear not to bother you ever again!”
His nose was bleeding, but the overall damage was minimal. Minimal enough so that he didn’t deem it necessary to use force to get himself out of there. Would he have his way with them? He sure hoped so!
