[Patrick Hunt]

I vote we move on.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I believe that makes it two and two.))

"You really want to tromp through the jungle with busted armor?"

((...By the way, is my assumption that the drones need to be stationary to repair armor correct?))

[Taricus]

"I'd rather get out of here as quickly as possible so we don't get the armour damaged again."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"If we move, we make a lot more noise and are more likely to be attacked, not less. Besides, this should only take a few hours. What are you in such a hurry to reach, anyways?"

[Taricus]

"Except for the fact that most of the bloody bugs would be perfectly capable of attacking us regardless, and we're far easier to find here. Who knows what else would be "curious" enough to investigate this crash site."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"It's a day old. Besides, we're making virtually no noise compared to what we would be making tromping through the underbrush. You're saying that by doing so, we would be less likely to be attacked than by staying next to a day-old crash site?"

[Taricus]

"I don't think any amount of sound is really going to matter considering anything that may attack could just not rely on it entirely."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"And how do they find us, then? And whatever this is, why would it make them attack us more here than if we were moving through the brush?"

[Taricus]

"It's called mobility. Besides, a few footsteps aren't that load compared to a few rifle bursts. If anything heard us, it already knows where we are and more than likely on it's way. Besides, no way we're going to be able to build the base in this hellhole since there isn't enough space.

[RangerCado]

"This is a temporary thing so that when we get attacked again, our armor doesn't fall right off us. I say, we stay for the next 3 hours and get the armor all fixed up for the next hit."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"What, if we decide not to move now we're rooted in place all day? Besides, do you really think you could outrun the buggers? And if anything was going to react to the shots hours ago, they would have done so by now. Animals don't investigate sounds they heard hours ago, because something else got to anything worth getting to and they heard other sounds by then. And I never said we'd build the base here, just that we'd spend a few hours making sure that our armor had a greater structural consistency than Swiss cheese."

[RangerCado]

"Or shredded wheat in my case." Selina looks at her badly damaged suit with a sigh.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Carl grinned at that.

"Yeah. We don't want our little medic to get hurt, do we?"

[Taricus]

"Being able to take a few steps in the opposite direction of those things is a definite advantage. And if you don't want the armour to get damaged, try not actively charging them. And I'm not taking any chances. And if it satisfies you, I'll take point, and Harvey will take rearguard. This means you two are protected while we move out."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"We can take steps away. My rifle still doesn't have any charged batteries, and the problem has to do with how our armor is already damaged. Going out there with holes in our armor is a pretty big chance--why are you taking that? And no, that doesn't work. The buggers would probably attack from the side, not the front or back. Last I checked, both of you were only one person."
