The one which was echoing you steps forward, points to you, points to itself, points up, walks in place. The other makes rude noises that indicate/immitate digestive functions.

RJ nods and smiles, then speaks into his comm "El-tee... I've got one of my buddies ready to beam up with me. Whenever you're ready, we're in position."

"Ah need a couple o security volunteers. Weapons to stun, holstered." offers Grayson to the bridge crew. "Consider it more of an honour guard, but keep ya eyes open sort o thing? Any funny moves, we put the bug eyed guy down, but not to kill, ok?"
He turned to the comms, clicking it on. "Got ya RJ. We'll meet you in th' transporter room. We're assumin' th' fella'll be friendly. Or hopin' any rate..."
Turning the comms off he clicks it on to the transporter room. "This is Grayson. Ah'm on ma way down there. When ah arrive need you to beam up RJ and one other in close proximity. Wait ma nod though."
To the security volunteers he nods "Let's go. Watch fer them Vee Dennys th' rest o ya."

Paddy looks over, "Sir, remember, counting yourself, and the captain, we number 4. But then there's also the alien. And someone needs to be on the bridge..."
And then, in a low voice, "And the skipper isn't in any condition to take the bridge."

Grayson gave a blank look, then nodded. "Correct." he said, then added. "Ah'm goin' down ta th' teleportation room. You got the bridge Paddy. Don't blow us all up."

"Aye, Sir." Then, muttering under her breath, "jus' so long as you don't, either...."
Vork is waiting in the teleporter room, "Ready to Energize at your command, Sir."

Checking his weapon is set to stun, Grayson reluctantly holsters it. "No hasty moves. We got another ay lee un comin' on board. Ah'm startin' ta think this place is some kinda malt shop fer th' bug eyed an' downright weird ta hang out." he mutters, mostly to himself. "Make me feel right at home anyhow."
He turns to Mr Vork, nodding "Energise"

A whir, the a thumping noise, and two forms arrive with a pop. Next to RJ is the alien. Man sized, big-eyed, two arms, two legs, one mouth, nostrils on the neck, no fur to speak of, leather garments, and a bit of a puzzled look. "en-er-jaweez?.... Uh! Goom?" It looks around hastily. "Goom? Ak Goom?"

"Sounds kinda like ma Uncle jaques. He was French. Couldn't unnerstand a damn word he said either." drawled the Lt. with a frown. "Ah well, best get on with it. Me..." he said, tapping himself on the chest "Grayson." he offered. He tapped on his chest again to emphasise. "Grayson."
"Uh, welcome." he added, holding out his hand for the alien to shake.
As an aside to Vork he muttered "Any way we can communicate with these guys? Helluva time fer the Captain ta go shave his butt."

"Greh-son," Points to the LT. "Arrr-že," points to RJ. "Mook," points to itself. "Mook, Greh-son, ak ptu," points to himself and Grayson, then his arm waves a small circle, ending pointing to a spot between them. "Goom ak?" Both Grayson and RJ can sense that he's curious, excited, and definitely not scared. The hand used is the same one that would use his large caliber pistol. A hand quite unlike a human hand - 5 small tentacles radially arranged on the end of the arm, each tipped with a claw. And yet, for the diference in structure, it's very much like a human's in size and apparent utility. The feet are similar.
Then, in a sudden realization, it works the other hand to it's belt buckle, and releases it, lowering the gun belt to the floor. "Noog. Noog," pointing to the gun, and then Grayson's laser. "Noog ak ptu. Goom ak?"

"Ahhhh." said Grayson, looking at the aliens weapon on the floor. It burned against his every instinct to disarm himself, but apparently the Alien was seeking an act of faith, friendship, or coming together. Either that, or it was a trick and it was going to grab it up to blast his head off. "Ah what th' heck. My momma always said ah was dumber than a rock anyhow." he muttered to himself.
Then he unbuckled his weapon and lowered it to the floor before speaking "Mook, Grayson, RJ." and pointing. Then he pointed to Vork. "Vork."
After that he gestured for the Alien (and Vork/RJ) to follow. He intended to go to the officers lounge. As an aside he turned to Vork. "Anythin' we got can help unnerstand this guy? Th' computer? A universal translator? Ah'm thinkin' there's gotta be SOMETHIN' we can use so as I don't have to wave my hands about and shout real loud an' slow whilst we look at each other with confusion on our faces."

Solor slowly takes his universal translator out. He calmly moves his free hand back and forth between the alien to show he would like to attempt communication.

Mook looks at it, reaches out for it, and waits...

Since he sees no reaction, Mook gently lifts the device and fidgets with it...
And, getting nowhere with it, hands it back to Solor, and then examines the remains of Solor's interrupted lunch.
