Oros mission start

[sixth]

WHO: ALPHA TEAM (Carolina, Maine, Wash, K-2SO, April, and Sam) and BETA TEAM (Lee, Somba, Hayatori, Cassian, and Re-L)
WHERE: Oros
WHEN: January 11-???
WHAT: Alpha and Beta teams begin their mission.
WARNINGS: TBD

Catch-all mingle log while Alpha and Beta travel together. Toss up a header for a specific day or event to keep things better organized and then everyone can tag around in that.

(Once we figure out when the sandstorm and fall into the gorge happens to split everyone up, we can add that too to close out the big group log.)

[ Re-L just can't help herself. The first time since she's spotted Kay-tu it was an irrepressible need to figure out what exact he could or couldn't do - after all, she'd had her own version of droids back in her home world, and to find out what set him apart would let her know what point other worlds were at.

However - there were mission related things to be completed, her own weapons to be checked to make sure this wasn't an elaborate slaughter field or something of the sort, and making sure that they were going to be as comfortable as they could be for the night to take care of. So, faithfully, she'll move materials and do what is needed for the moment, wanting to be sure she at least had her own affairs arranged and taken care of before settling in to idle conversations or running herself through the mission plan yet again to make sure she has it down.

Once these things are done, though - she's marching right up to Kay-tu, curiosity finally about to be at least slightly satiated - ]

So, I'm curious, how far can you see and track from this point?

[He's helped with his part through and has moved to take up watch, looking out and scanning, watching. So as someone comes up to him to ask questions again, he had already figured out who it would be. The female again. Their last conversation wasn't a bad one at least.]

Farther than a standard organic being. [Not at all a good answer, Kay.] I have a fair radius of range enough to give everyone time to grab a weapon and be on the ready. [STILL not a good answer, kay.]

How exact of any answer. [ Ah, Re-L, being sarcastic may not be the best step, here, but she can't help herself. Eventually she falls in to pace with most robot-bodied beings as though they were Iggy, and the natural sarcasm just slips through.

She takes a moment to look over their surroundings again, so different from what she was used to in her own home world, but not necessarily in a bad way. The heat, for one, was kind of nice.

The sun? Kind of too bright. She's squinting a little at even the falling light now that they've unloaded. ]

That could still be useful, though, depending on what these aliens may already have heading our way if they've had any indication that we're coming for this 'Relic.' Now we just have to hope these bullets are strong enough to work, I suppose.

<>small>[He likes you, Re-L, he really does. But he's terrible at giving full answers to anyone but Cassian, and even then he is terrible at it, because he doesn't care to bother.]

I calculate that the probability of them already knowing we are here for this relic is high. I decided to calculate at a curve however, because there are so many unknown factors, that it is easier to simulate the drastic ends of the scale. Thinking that they already know and preparing for the worst will be, in the end, better for us. If it becomes too easy? Good.

That is fair, I would say. The briefings we were given were exactly that, brief. I've been more informed to go and inspect an immigrant district for lesser things than what I assume is a valuable Relic. [ Sure, Romdeau was over kill with their information, but it was better to know than to go in ignorant with guns blazing. It's annoying, to say the least. At the most, it's life-threatening, and at the base of it she's wholly god damn annoyed at the whole set-up. ]

Somehow I doubt this will end up too easy. A happy coincidence if it is... but I won't hold my breath.
