Thread: The Ruins-Alexandar/moon

I don't like this. Martin Dover whispered to his wife. He was a well respected historical expert on this region of the tundra which was why he was assigned to go on this mission. Of course he would have found some way to these ruins even if he hadn't ended up being assigned to Team Alpha. These ruins completely changed everything they knew about this region from a historical standpoint. It's possible that human beings, maybe even an entire civilization of some kind, stood on these grounds long before their earliest estimates. We should have waited for more combat forces to join our party. He stated his opinion aloud. It might have been because of his feminine looks that he felt the need to boldly state his opinion to others even when he knew that they disagreed with it. We've been over this before, there's no telling what kind of one of kind treasures are at these ruins. The scout team more then likely has been attacked by bandits or mercs who are after the loot to make a payday that most people can't even dream of and don't even get me started on the freaking spies, spies from other nations and even spies from rich business CEOs who have way too much money on their hands. The point is that we're running late to the party and if we don't move to secure and document those ruins a-sap the most valuable and telling items will be long gone and stolen. Elisa Warran countered her colleague. Elisa specialized in the study of ancient Architecture but she was most commonly known for her Indian Jones style of exploration. She was arguably the most experienced in the whole group with this type of situation since she had been on several investigations like this, granted this situation was unique given where the ruins were discovered but that didn't really change how the greedy acted. She was good with a blade herself although the Captain was almost certainly better. She was also good at sneaking around others and make a fast retreat with what she was after before anyone knew what had happen. I'm sorry, I thought our safety and lives were the number one priority. Martin responded in an annoyed voice but Elisa doesn't hesitated to counter. Wrong, are lives can't even compare to some of the artifacts in those ruins, literary one of a kind items that may be the last of their kind in the world. The knowledge they can give us is certainly well worth the risk to protect and ensure their safety in my opinion. Besides Team Beta is being prep as we speak and we come within the week to the base camp if they don't hear from us telling them otherwise. Plus we have an emergency radio we can use to contact HQ if we need them sooner so we're not going in unprepared. James Mira watched silently as his two colleagues argued about the safety and priorities of the mission they now faced. He was the middle child of Ananda and Miranda and as a result was used to being in the middle of said fights. He was the Anthropology expert on the team as well as the unofficial cook. James thought of himself as a pretty laid back and enjoy a nice book kinda of guy. Well to be fair his sisters could still annoy him, especially Ananda but overall he was pretty chilled and able to approach things in a calm logical perspective. For example he had worked with both Elisa and Martin before, although he knew Martin better given that he was married to his sister, but he did know a lot of Elisa. He knew that Elisa had a little bit of an adrenaline junkie, nothing too serious, but she would certainly go into a fight without a second thought if it was for an artifact she wanted. Martin by contrast tended to be more cautious. History had taught him that those unprepared and stupid enough to rush into things before fully understanding the situation suffered greatly, but life rarely gave them time to be prepared. Well maybe you should just grow some balls! No wonder you look more like a woman then I do. Elisa shouts at Martin at the climax of the argument. Turning Martin replies, Why you- That's enough BOTH of you! James cuts in. This was getting out of hand and not off to a good start. We're all professionals here so let's at least try to act like it. He tells the two her just turn away from each other as they grumble.
