Thread: Stranded {jadeshaw88 and silverknight}

Alana smiled as she rejoined the group. She didn't think that this guy took compliments well. Perhaps he wasn't used to getting them. It was kind of sad but she guessed she could understand. He probably felt uncomfortable with all that tech so visible on his body. She supposed they hadn't had the chance to use the cloaking technology to make him at least look normal. Poor guy. She had gotten used to the peace of the place, silent for once as she took in the scenery. His voice in her ear made her jump and she guiltily remembered that she was supposed to be the link between him and the rest of the group. His words had her instantly intrigued though so she pushed those feelings to the back of her mind. You mean like...blue blue? I mean, I know that the bluegrass back home was blue too but... She trailed off when he started to speak again and listened as he described the location, careful to catch every detail so that she could relay it to the others. I guess you guys are going to want to explore the cave, huh? Wow, that sounds so cool. I mean, I'm not a fan of caves because of bats and stuff but it would be cool to see from a distance. I will go if we have to though. She paused again when he started describing the footprints and shivered. Does it look like it has claws? How big is it? She held up her hand when Edward came over and then looked at him wide-eyed. Thomas found a good spot to camp. Or at least it sounded good when he started talking about it. If we keep moving forward past the hills, there's going to be a large lake with a cave that's bigger than any cave he has ever seen on earth. I mean, he really sounds impressed so it must be massive! Now he's talking about some large footprints near the lake, which I think makes it sound like a less ideal location to set up camp especially since we don't know what made it, that he says looks aquatic like a giant frog or something so I'm assuming that it's webbed. He says we should really catch up to look at it for ourselves. ------------- Jon walked over to the pod thing more because of curiosity than anything. He wouldn't really be able to help with the science of the thing and he really didn't care about it from a professional standpoint. He also couldn't resist a pretty lady calling for help. He would keep that to himself for now though. They hadn't gotten a chance to really get to know each other and he didn't want to come off as a creeper. He preferred to woo slowly rather than jump in with a bunch of cheesy pick-up lines. That and there were so many pretty women on this trip that it would be hard to choose. ----------- Lily blinked herself awake and glared over at the people making all the noise. It was the little one that tried to talk to her earlier. Lord. She stretched and pulled herself up from her sleeping position. She hadn't minded the scientist while was in the wagon with her. He had at least stayed quiet. The botanist and the leader were quiet too. The purple haired girl had been chattering away off and on with the tracker though and now the dark haired girl was being noisy. She got down off the wagon and walked over to what they were all looking at to see what the fuss was about. Her attitude changed when she saw what it was though. A living being in what appeared to be a stasis chamber. Her curiosity wiped away all that remained of her sleepiness like a triple shot of espresso and she looked over the scientist's shoulder at the words to see if she could pick anything out. The numbers looked like they could be vital readings, in her opinion but she couldn't read whatever language that was. ---------- Cat was curious about what they had discovered but she stayed back, unwilling to close the distance between herself and the others. Especially since she was now on a hill and had a good vantage point of their position. If they wanted to fiddle around in the grass, that was their choice. She would just make sure that they didn't get attacked by anything in the forest. She had heard rustling on the path to either side of her and she had no doubt that there were nasties in there just waiting to see whether or not they would make a good meal. She figured the only reason they hadn't attacked was that the group was so unusual. Animals weren't stupid, they stalked their prey before striking. She thought about letting off a few shots into the foliage but decided against it. One, it would scare the group ahead, two, she hadn't received permission to do so and she didn't want to get on the leader's bad side, especially since he was letting her do as she pleased and, three, if the things in the trees were friendlies, she didn't want to get them all worked up. For now she would wait to see what they would do. One predator feeling out another. -------- Alana walked over to the others when they called and frowned as she maneuvered through the group to get to the forefront. We found something here too. She told Thomas as she finally got to the panel. It's a stasis pod from... She looked over the menu's. ...looks like Korea. It's a funky dialect though. The letters are off. She tilted her head to the side and took over the device so that she could scroll herself. She's eighteen years old and apparently Korean nobility. I mean, I know they don't have kings and queens anymore but they don't forget their lineage. Her name is Kim Hye Rin. Uh... She kept flipping through the menus. This is her vitals. She looked over at the doctor lady. I think this means she's healthy. I mean, it all looks normal but I don't know. She pointed out what was what and then shrugged when the doctor nodded. At least the woman looked nicer. I'm going to open it. It still has a lot of power to it but it won't last forever and we can't just leave her here. I don't know if she'll be able to speak English. Even if she does, it will be broken and weird. It might be better if we keep her with us. She'll be pretty scared. She said as she fiddled with some options on the screen to wake her up.
