((Why would we want to do that? I mean, when we get the base fully set up, we'd have a pretty nice place to live, and the capacity to tell most of the local wildlife to fuck off. If we could get a few luxuries we'd be set for life ))

[Patrick Hunt]

" And I'd prefer to stop arguing and get moving... you lot are worse then kids. "

[GreatWyrmGold]

((So far, so good.))

"Well... I was working with some chemicals... and I found out a new mixture for putting 3 or 4 different healing concoctions for burns... But i only found at when I dropped it in the hall that... well... it was unstable... And did the exact opposite of its parts... It blew up into flames and started a fire that only liquid nitrogen could put out... so, I got shipped out here..."

"Oh. That's...that's really...that sucks. A lot."
Carl is at a bit of a loss for words.

"Please, if there was a map we'd have already killed each other. Quicker we get out of the jungle means we get away from alot of attackers, not to mention we'd be able to see any potential hostiles at a greater distance from us.
Besides, I'd prefer to sleep in something where we can actually lock the door. And without that damned bugs."
((Pretty good so far, if a little slow (But we caused that clog so ) ))

"True. I just hope we're not in the middle of this world's Amazon rainforest. Or its Southeast Asia. Or...well, I hope there's some nice plains or something nearby. Maybe mountains, barring that. Of course, given my luck, we're probably on a jungle-covered island."

" And I'd prefer to stop arguing and get moving... you lot are worse then kids. "

"We're done now, happy?"

"Yeah... I uh... yeah..." Selina looks pretty embarrassed by this.

Present

Selina stands waiting to move out.

[Taricus]

"Err, what? Where? Anyway, let's just get moving."

Start leading the group out of the jungle if possible. And if it is possible, try to discern the direction the jungle extends for the least.

[Patrick Hunt]

Follow, draw my shotgun for self defense.

"Yeah... I uh... yeah..." Selina looks pretty embarrassed by this.

Carl pats Selina on the back.
"Nothing to be ashamed of. Life's really...not fair sometimes, you know?"

"Err, what? Where?"

"Places on Earth with lots of jungle."

[RangerCado]

Past

"Thanks... it means a lot..."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Past

Carl glances away.
"No problem. It's...yeah, um, you're welcome."
There is a moment of silence, save for the noises of the strange forest creatures.
"Do you, um, want to know why I'm here?"

[RangerCado]

Past

"Sure."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Carl sighs.
"Alright. I was a marine for a scout-ship, one of those little ones that's half fuel and a third engine. We were looking for habitable worlds, or profitable ones, or anything else that would make a solar system in the percent worth colonizing. There was some...thing, some chemical or pathogen or something, that was messing with peoples' heads, making them...I dunno, evil, crazy, whatever. Sometimes it was blatant; the other marine snapped instantly, and started shooting people. Others, not so much; the pilot was caught trying to poison the food. In the end, it was me, the captain, and the engineer. I thought the captain was being affected, so I killed him before he could ruin anything else. Turns out, that's still illegal. Not enough proof that he was."

[RangerCado]

"Oh... I uh... sorry. That must have been hard." Selina pats his back a bit.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Past

"Thanks. Yeah, it wasn't fun."

[RangerCado]

Past

"...Well, atleast you got through okay... and then we can get our second chance here." Selina smiles a little.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Carl smiles.

"Yeah. I hope so."
