[Parsely]

Hobby Deckard

What exactly are we doing? I'm not too clear on that.

There's a thing. We kill it. Catch it. Whatever.

Right. Thing, catch, kill. Got it.

Hobby carefully repeats the phrase back to himself.

[sambojin]

Sambo says:

"Try and keep whatever it is alive. Just kill some other stuff. We're pretty much going in blind, so we've just gotta work out what to shoot and what to knick. Let Steve decide if he wants anything dead afterwards. His fucken problem, we've got enough of 'em. Speaking of which, you going to have contact with us on this one Steve, or are we going to work all this shit out ourselves? More on the killing or keeping end of things."

[Beirus]

Jason takes a moment to look at the bottle Sambo handed him earlier.

"Not too sure how to drink this. The mask doesn't have a mouth hole, and you might not get it back if I pull it under the shroud. I would take the mask and shroud off, but I don't know if my clothes would come back if I do."

[sambojin]

"Try it and see. I've got another bottle anyway. It ain't enough for everyone, but it's not bad piss anyway."

((Sambo.

Yes, I do want to see what happens.))

[Knight Otu]

Gorat listens to the prattle of his teammates a bit. Some of it is all-too-accurate, but after his talk with Maurice, he wants to get across that it wasn't necessarily fated to happen.
"Yes, our objective is to try and secure whatever is the Eater of Cold, if there is one. Yes, we will meet with people who should point us in the right direction. Yes, chances are that at least one of us turns into a total utter moron on the mission. No, that is absolutely no excuse to turn into said moron. Listen to whoever turns out to get command for the mission. That's most likely Fey'ri. Again, don't touch anything you don't recognize even with your suit gloves, that's just inviting disaster."

[Beirus]

Jason shrugs at Sambo and pulls the bottle of rum underneath the shroud to see what happens.

[Doomblade187]

"So, just assume everything is dangerous? It is always like this, right?"

[Knight Otu]

"Anything you don't recognize. And anything you recognize as dangerous. But my main point is, really, that you should think at least a little bit before doing anything reckless."

Gorat listens to the prattle of his teammates a bit. Some of it is all-too-accurate, but after his talk with Maurice, he wants to get across that it wasn't necessarily fated to happen.

"A good point. These people sound worshipful of disaster, as if it was meant to be. This is wrong, I think."

[Gentlefish]

Hard for me not to touch anything, Cecil says, when I punch it.

[sambojin]

"You'll be right. We'll all shoot it a few times first, then go for your life. Might want to wait a bit though. I don't stop firing until I'm damn sure it's not dangerous anymore. But then again, there's some freaky shit out there. First we gotta work out what it is and if we can even shoot the fucken thing. If it possesses ya, I'd hate to have to blow a foot wide hole in ya, just 'coz you decided to get a bit slap happy with the locals. I like your style kid. But think first, then shoot, then shoot some more, then punch. Pretty simple shit to remember, but it'll save you getting caught in the crossfire."

((Sambo))

[sambojin]

Intuitively look around the shuttle at the other team members, wondering if any of them look like they're already possessed or about to eat some cold (or hot-laser-death, whatever)

[piecewise]

Steve wanders into the Shuttle, hands clasped behind his back, and leans against the rear wall of the shuttle.

>Don't mind me, friends. We'll be leaving soon. My, there are a lot of us here today, aren't there? Hope that helps.

[Beirus]

"You coming with us, Steve? I hope we don't run into another leggy abomination that looks like a bad Christmas gift."

Jason looks down again to see if anything happened to the rum he pulled under the shroud.

[Hapah]

Board the shuttle with my gear.
