Take rock sample from Faith.
You take one of the samples.
"Um, sure, I'll check."
If possible without ceasing recording, check the quality of the shade footage. Accept the rock sample.
"And let's try not grounding Conrad any more."
[Aux:6+1]
You poke around through the menus and find a way to view the footage without stopping the recording process. Ah, yep, looks like it's good footage. Except not everything is recording in thermal vision...uh..
(Yay for +1 to med!)
"Head is very good. my conciounse is clear"
Try to find somthing new to get a sample, don't check the affect of heat on sand.
You get off the guide and start looking around for something new to capture. You can't really find anything...
[end:2]
You're starting to feel pretty dizzy and light headed.
"I'm... we're sorry, this is... not the most professional operation," Faith said apologetically to Conrad. "You get used to it, usually..."
Help Conrad up, attempt to keep moving.
You help Conrad up and follow along beside him, embarrassed enough for the whole team.
[private channel to Simus] Good to know you are alright. And make no mistake: that man might be a dick, but he is actually quite good at his job. Though I'll relay to you anything important he says, if you want.
Take a rock sample from Faith.

"He sure is energetic and flexible in his tastes. And sorry to disappoint you, Mr.Hugs, but the person you tangled with first before moving on to our guide is supposedly a female. You can keep imagining her as a male, though. There isn't much of a gap between genders in her case."
Milno remarks while walking.
Take a rock sample.
Come on down to Crazy Faith's Rock emporium! She's just giving rocks away!
Travis was furious. Time and time again Mason has been detrimental to the mission. He was about to vent when Faith handed him the rock. He simmered a bit and accepted it
"Thank you Faith.
Now. Mason. Just follow along and please stop assaulting our guide, in one way or another. He's been through a lot, he doesn't need to be assaulted while escorting us. Just stay back and watch our flank, or something. Be useful."
Travis helps Faith pull up Conrad, and tries to get his question through before Conrad is knocked down a third time
OH GOD ALL THESE ROCKS! YOU JUST WANT TO RUB THEM ALL OVER YOUR BOOOOOODY!
"We managed to get a look at one using the searchlights at the entrance when it came near. Never seen one again, but if you listen you can hear them walking around."
He gives you an odd look at that second part of your question.
"Can't say I have..."
"I'll take one."
Thomas takes a rock sample and puts it in the sand container.
Yeah you take a rock too, ya rock loving rock lover.
The group makes it another mile or so before you see something in the distance, way down the path. It looks like black poles or something similar.
"We're coming up on the Dead Forest. We'll walk awhile in there and then make camp at a station I have setup near the center. There's some odd effects in the Forest, but nothing dangerous."
