Thread: Stranded {jadeshaw88 and silverknight}

Thomas noticed the purple haired woman walking up towards where he happened to be standing at that moment his eyes still focused on the area around them as he heard her footsteps. He turned towards her and listened to her as she spoke to him. Thomas stood still on the hill as he paid complete attention to the Alana's words. He could tell this was a talkative woman on who had a lot on her mind and wasn't not afraid of voicing what she was thinking, which wasn't a bad thing at all. He waited till she was finished before he replied at all letting himself hear all that she had to say. Yes, I can pair up with your communications device, it will go right through without a problem, the range of my communications is just under fifty kilometers. I will be within that distance the whole while, so I shouldn't be out of range though in thick woods it will decrease to around twenty five or so kilometers where I will adjust to fit what is needed, he said calmly with a very stoic tone. My cybernetics were created a year ago, a month before the evacuation from earth, they were the last ones made, they are self powered. The machines are undergo self maintenance due to the nanites which are inside of them as well as inside of the rest of my body at this point. If you must know my right eye, my left ear, the left side of my ribs and chest, and my lungs are all cybernetic in nature. Without the cybernetics and the nanobots I would die within 3 minutes. This has nothing to do with bravery just the cost of living, he said as he looked at her his tone not changing. I believe this will be ideal to use as the frequency of communications my past history told me this when I was out on mission, he said showing her the number on his forearm as he changed to the frequency. ------ As the wagon moved, Edward kept an eye out for things and he noticed the strangest trees so far, they stood on their roots which buried into the ground and the river at the same time giving the trees a wide base, the trees themselves were a off shade of gray with purples leaves on them as well. The water they were connected to was a odd shade of lime green something that didn't even look like it made much sense, but it was the first time they were able to see such a thing like this. It was rather interesting. He knew that the scientists were going to freak out the moment that they saw this. He wasn't sure what reaction they would have but to see this different type of plants and the river itself would be interesting. He looked up and noticed large birds flying overhead, they were larger than anything he had seen but they didn't look like normal birds either, they seemed to have massive wings, and in some ways reminded him of the pterodactyls that he read about in books when he was a child. The first sign of life on this planet and it was rather impressive, the birds circled and then flew away from them gliding in the sky with such wonderful grace. He said nothing as he continued walking, he would make a mental note of that which he had seen but they didn't have time to stop at that moment, at least. ----- As they went along, Hugo checked the ground from time to time to get readings that he could check out when they got to their ending location each day. He didn't know about the river yet, till they came down one of the hills and he saw the strange trees and the river. He blinked as he went over quickly towards that side and then checked on the river collecting as much of it as he could in sa short period of time as he took it and samples of the soil around the river and in the river and around the trees. This was the first find and he was going to get as much information possible from it as he could. He brought back his vials and containers and put them on the wagon pulling out some of his machines to test out the soil to find the elements in it as well as to more importantly test out the water to find out more about the water and why it was such a lime green color which was rather strange. He put the vials into the machine putting samples and labeling them as he focused on his work. He was in his own little world as he worked, thinking about how he could get the most information possible. The quality of the water and the fact it was green had to be known as he knew that would be needed if they were going to travel a long way, how much work would be needed to make the water drinkable and what combination of chemicals would be needed if any. Plus finding out why it was green would tell him more about the planet as a whole too. He didn't think about anything even the other things he could be seeing at that moment, his mind was so one tracked,he didn't even notice the high flying bird above them as he worked. He looked at it enjoying the mostly quiet that he had due to everyone around him being quiet at that moment. He figured he could get this done and have the report on the water before the night was over, that way he would have a plan of action on what to do ----------- Hana remained on the outside hillside as she walked, she didn't think her skills were that awesome but it was nice to get a compliment that wasn't normal. She smiled as she saw the bird, it was rather cool looking, she looked at it for a moment as she watched it fly over her and then out. Hana found the day a nice and quiet one as she walked she looked back to the path as she noticed some small lizards that were not that far off, they were a bit larger than a lizard on earth, but they were still pretty small about a foot long and a half foot high, he would guess, as he looked at the red lizards. She watched as one of the dug into the earth like a prairie dog on earth might, it was strange, and bizarre, she walked over and grabbed one and looked at it as it hissed at her for a moment moving around in her hand, for a moment before it was put back down by Hana and it then went quickly back into hiding as Hanna went back to her spot to give overwatch for the wagon.
