Kaito and Boiy should make sensors checks then. Danh, go ahead and throw martial arts or commando to see how far you can throw a snowball.

[LordPorkins]

Danh, on the other hand, isn't really keeping a "watch". He's sat on the ground, relaxing on the patch of earth (or whatever this place is) that he's dug the snow off of. Occasionally, he makes a snowball, and sees how far he can hurl it forward.

((Wouldn't it be hilarious if the team wakes up in the morning and finding Dahn in an all-out snowball fight brawl with the monkey-things?))

[Bill Chompski]

[Commando 84] Initially, Danh just puts his full strength behind each throw, but notices that maybe some parts of his helmet's HUD might help out getting them farther.
After a good amount of tries, Danh is slinging them pretty far, with good arcs, using his visor to partially figure out trajectory and all, like one of those cheap physics games you buy for your phone.
Maybe he can say he was practicing his grenade throws.

[Sensors 93] Boiy seeing as there was nothing coming or looking like it had any intensions of doing so, he just laid down on the ground and started looking at the stars, while trying to listen to anything moving nearby

[retromach]

The moon-like sun had dipped beneath the horizon. The tents were aglow with light. Tina sat working on repairs to get another tent up.

Kaito and Boiy definitely noticed an object coming in on sensors. Turning to shine lights as it emerged from the trees, they saw something like a moth, hairy and fuzzy, with a wingspan as wide as a bedsheet. Then another, and another. They seemed to by flying towards the tents. You can't imagine any earthly moth harming them, but you could imagine them drawn by the light. Either way, there were several seconds to make some decisions before they arrived. [Sensors 91 and 93]

[JaxtalMK2]

Kaito was never one to hold back from an abundance of caution. "Kill the lights, swap to nightvision." He'd say, moving to where he'd have a better view of the moths coming in. "They might be harmless, but we have no guarantees. And even if they are, I don't want to draw them close. They're large enough that they could possibly do damage accidentally. Boiy, go in and grab the sensor pack Tina brought, see if you can get better scans of those things as they get closer. More information is better."

[PaPaj]

Boiy turning off his lights "I never expected to see this that's for sure" going to get the sensor pack, trying to get scans of them

[Bill Chompski]

Tossing one last snowball, Danh switches to night vision, and unslings his MAG-PDW, holding it at the ready.
Looking around briefly, he says, "Let's just shoot them from here then, be safe."
After a moment, he asks, "Hey, uh, actually,
what's 'they'? Where are they?"

[LordPorkins]

*ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz*

[retromach]

The tent still glowed faintly, but you could approach and deactivate it. The moths flapped playfully around in the light, then flew off when the lights faded, now circling Tina, who's multitool's welder now cast the brightest light. One of them climbed over the snowmobile engine, tilting fuzzy antennae at her, and definitely blocking her work.

[JaxtalMK2]

"Hmm, well they don't seem hostile at least." He'd turn on one of the outside lights, moving it away from the work area. "I suppose we're in a good position to study them visually. We'll have to bring properly sized cages on our next outing so we can bring a couple back. Though it seems it'll be easy enough to draw them in."

[LordPorkins]

Frazz detects there is science to be done. However, being sedated and unconscious he can't join in. He snores grumpily.

[retromach]

The moths flew up and around, circling the light. They'd continue, for now, until the next watch. Who was up?

[LordPorkins]

Well done Retro. I love it when GMs freak out players like this. Not every animal wants to rip our faces off, but it seems like that sometimes.

[Bill Chompski]

For the rest of the shift, Danh tosses a few more snowballs.
When it's over, he goes back to wherever his tent is, and goes to sleep, stripping out of his armor.
