:: following along through the forest, using his crude pole-axe as a walking stick ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:21:53

:: huddled under the shelter next to the fire, working on the net, which is coming along nicely ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:22:52

::is tromping through the forest holding her torch for light, following Ilaihr and the others::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:23:11

:: sits beside Wright, also working on the net. She admires it, walking Wright through the process as they go. :: CSO: So we'll tie up two ends, then let the rest of the net settle. The best way to do it is have it the width of the river, wait a bit for some fish to gather, then you just yank up the back of the net and you're golden.

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:23:19

:: is fast asleep, curled into Acacia, using her as a pillow ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:23:38

:: wakes up, having taken the previous shift, and then having slept a few hours. He simply opens his eyes, looks up, and mentally assesses the situation. Still out in the middle of - well, since he doesn't know where it is, can't even call it nowhere - wherever he is. And the feeling of the cold comes rushing in, the rain that started during the night finally registering, and realizing just how cold he is now. ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:23:46

:: is sure not to disturb Ryleigh, speaking softly ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:24:06

self: Ugh.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:24:34

:: was awakened early by the cold rain :: MED: And that's why we're making the holes relatively close together, so they don't slip through, right? :: also softly ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:26:09

:: thinks about the ship, wondering if, since they're wherever here is, Atlantis still exists, and if so in what state. ::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:27:19

: is cold, wet, and miserable, but at least the walking is something to keep his mind off it ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:27:36

:: nods, pushing a fist into each square at the end of the process of tightening the knots :: CSO: Yes, it only catches bigger ones, which is good. You always want to spare the young if you can. :: doesn't even realize she's passed into preaching territory ::

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:28:00

:: is cold and wet and absolutely damn miserable, curling up tighter into Acacia ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:28:16

:: nods, thinking that it makes sense from a scientific standpoint ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:29:21

:: stares at Kate with wide eyes, attempting to process the implications of her statement :: CO: Gencodian? Really? :: looks at the hairbrush, attempting to see what she did ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:30:06

MED: How long do you think until this is finished enough to use?

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:30:15

:: angles the writing toward Kuari, knowing that she might recognize the form of the script even if she can't read it :: XO: Absolutely.

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:32:09

:: looks at the size, pondering on the river :: CSO: We should be good to go soon. It doesn't have to touch each bank of the river, usually being almost as wide is enough. But.. :: she vaguely gestures to Grey :: Just a bit longer, eh?

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:33:47

:: starts whistling, quietly ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:34:29

MED: It would probably help to throw bugs into the water as bait, right? :: her fingers are starting to ache, but she keeps knotting methodically ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:35:24

:: studies the writing intently :: CO: I do recognize it...and I trust you can read it. That's...incredible. :: she looked away, observing the walls with a new light ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:35:37

:: shrugs, thinking :: CSO: Sure, worth a shot. Where I've done this.. they're just following the current, but I don't know about these fish.

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:35:46

::peers ahead of them, looking for signs of the other camp past the torchlight::

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:36:04

:: stirs slightly, before settling again with her head pillowed on Acacia's thigh, curled tightly. She was tired, running on very little sleep. ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:37:40

:: lets out a long breath, biting her lip as she thinks :: XO: I do not think this is Gencodia. Even if we were on the side of the moon away from the gas giant, it is too... large. The horizon is farther away, and the gravity feels stronger.

SCI LtJG Jude 18-Dec-2019 21:37:52

:: is following behind, groaning ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:39:00

:: sits on the floor, still looking around :: CO: A Gencodian outpost, then.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:39:49

XO: This is new. :: gesticulates with the brush while she talks :: We never found any evidence that they left Gencodia, instead choosing to flee by transcending. Also...

ACTION> Jude has a fever and is nauseous.

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:40:44

SCI: Are you doing ok? ::offers her an arm to lean on as they are walking::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:41:49

:: finally continues the thought :: XO: We have never seen anything Gencodian that was not from twenty thousand years ago.

:: looks around :: This is all somewhat newer than that...

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:42:17

:: whispers :: They survived...

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:43:08

XO: I hope so. It beats the only other alternative explanation I can come up with...

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:43:34

:: moves in to offer Jude an arm on the other side from Tailor ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:44:16

Camp: I haven't heard anything from Ilaihr, have any of you?

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:45:32

:: lets that thought fade away as she pockets the hairbrush ::

:: then is relieved to actually have pockets again ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:46:00

:: closes her eyes and clears her mind, but then shrugs and shakes her head ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:46:51

:: turns and walks towards the main room again, still looking and thinking ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:47:13

:: finally sits up, still lost in thought, which is rare for him. But he looks around, taking survey of the situation. :: CSO: He's still not back? Hmm. Old man tends to wander like a cat. Still, it has been a while.

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:47:14

::looks Jude over as best she can, wishing desperately for her normal medkit. She's clammy and pale, looking like she's going to pass out.:: NAV: I may need to drain the wound to let the venom out. Ideally, I'd give her an antivenom, but it's not like I can just pull one out of the forest without knowing what I'm looking for. ::sounds frustrated::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:47:27

:: trails after Kuari, wanting to examine every detail of the house, but that's not the most important task at hand ::

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:47:40

:: jerks awake suddenly, reaching up to rub her forehead tiredly, slowly pushing herself up from Acacia, blinking at the other. :: MED: A-Apologies for falling asleep on you... I just... got really tired.

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:48:04

CMO: If I can help, at all, let me know what to do, doctora.

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:48:41

CSO/Camp: His first week aboard Atlantis, he set off so many alarms, but it turned out he was harmlessly exploring, getting to know his vessel.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:48:47

CTO: The last contact was last night at nightfall and he seemed far away, so let's hope he found someplace safe to bed down for the night.

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:48:57

:: shakes her head, dismissing the notion with a wave of her hand :: TAC2: We all need a little human contact.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:49:55

:: ducks into the washroom to see what might still be working ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:50:04

::and holds Jude up from landing on the ground as she teeters forwards:: NAV: She's passed out! Help me hold her up...

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:50:29

:: swoops in to catch Jude and support her ::

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:50:33

:: straightens, arching her back to coax a loud set of cracks and pops from her spine and shoulders, almost like a cat ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:51:07

NAV: Any idea how close we are to the camp?

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:51:45

:: after looking around for a moment, notices the light out the windows :: CO: I really should go hunt. I want to stay, but...it will be better with food.

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:51:46

CMO: No, I imagine only the Commander knows, but he is in a bit of a trance, it would seem.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:52:15

ACTION> Noon arrives.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:53:10

:: holds up her section of the net :: MED: I... think I'm done?

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:53:21

:: claps her hands together :: All: Right, since you're awake, want to give this a go?

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:53:36

::examines the site of the spider bite:: NAV: Ok, just put her down, on that mossy bank over there. ::fishes for her sharpest flint knife::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:54:45

XO: I will work on a fire, then. Help me close the front door before you go, though, and we will use the back. :: she presses a button on what's clearly the toilet, but it's certainly funny-looking, and watches as it floods with dirty water, which clears up quickly, given Kuari's earlier efforts ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 21:54:46

:: is out exploring the land, finding some high ground to get a look around. ::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:55:31

:: eases Jude down onto the mossy bank and gets Ilaihr's attention to pause ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 21:56:24

NAV: I don't suppose you'd somehow happen to have a flask with some alcohol? ::Of course he probably doesn't, but it can't hurt to ask::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 21:57:17

:: chuckles :: CMO: Believe me, if I did, it would not have lasted to the fourth day.

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 21:57:21

:: hops up, gesturing the girls to follow her and grabbing a handfull of the large net ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 21:57:44

:: stands up and does so, not relishing going out into the rain but hungry enough to get damp ::

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 21:58:13

:: slowly stands to follow Acacia, staggering slightly before restoring her balance and following the others ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 21:59:06

:: moves to the front door and takes the outside position and waits for Kate before they work to shut it ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 21:59:54

XO: I think this works! Be out in a second!

:: closes the door and lowers the cargo pants to sit on the toilet and urinate, thinking for a moment on the fact that she was unable to find any underwear in the Gencodian clothes ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:01:08

:: leads them to the river. She looks, walks down the river a bit, then points to two trees on either side of the river. She begins stringing up the net by braiding more vines around the tree, tying it to the loose corner of the net. She hands each of them one of the other corners :: CSO/TAC2: One of you has to cross with me.

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:01:20

NAV: I know, It was a longshot. I just need something for sterilizing this knife. Less than ideal conditions. ::eyes the spider bite, and how the venom is making the area puff up like a balloon. ::ok, here goes nothing... makes an incision to drain the bite::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:01:47

:: watches, wishing he could do more to help ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:02:01

ACTION> Greenish goo spurts out of the incision.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:02:16

:: holds up a finger and goes back to camp briefly, taking off her pants and leaving them in a dry place near the fire ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:02:35

:: hits the button again to flush, and shrieks when cold water unexpectedly sprays on her from something similar to a bidet ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:04:03

:: hears Kate's cry and darts back inside, but is unaware of where it came from and stops in the middle :: CO: Kate!

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:04:17

::Lets the pus and venom drain out until most of it seems to be gone:: NAV: Get me some water in a leaf to flush the wound.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:04:52

:: wades across the cold river, holding up her shirt as needed to keep it from getting wet ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:05:15

XO: I am fine! :: starts laughing :: Unexpected blast of cold water from the toilet!

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:05:33

:: grins, kicks off Ryleigh's boots, and wades across to tie up the other corner of the net ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:06:44

:: points her nose towards the washroom and cocks her head, attempting to understand why the toilet would do that, then grins :: CO: You scared me.

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 22:06:44

:: has been walking at a mostly-gentle incline for a couple hours since shortly after he woke up, in search of anything that would give him a hint as to where they are. Finally, he comes to a clearing big enough to see some distance over the trees behind him from the far end. Seeing the smoke from the fire that Wright has been stoking, now several klicks away. Beyond it, a thick canopy of trees, and at the horizon a mountain range that would take far too long to reach without vehicles. He takes a short break and finishes the quarter of a fish he had brought with him. ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:07:15

MED: Now what? :: shivering ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:07:32

:: pats herself dry with a nearby towel and pulls her pants up, still laughing as she opens the door :: XO: Sorry! It was worth it to pee without squatting in the woods!

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 22:08:28

::Sits on the ground, with his eyes closed.::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:09:06

:: returns in a few minutes with a leaf cupped in each hand, a bit of water in each ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:09:46

:: points a bit further upstream, calling :: CSO/TAC2: Walk up a bit.. :: she wades a bit, kicking some loose dirt over the part of the net that sits under its future victims before heading back to where Ryleigh is. All said it would be mostly submerged, but if Ryleigh and Alexis pulled their ends up, it would sweep up all the fish above it. Acacia flops down to sit by the shore, nodding :: CSO/TAC2: We wait for a bit. Did you grab your bait?

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:09:53

:: emerges from the washroom with a dumb smile, finding that way funnier than she otherwise would ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:10:10

NAV: Thank you. ::takes the water from Navarro as he hands it to her, tipping it over Jude's wound to flush out the remaining green goo and blood::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:10:29

:: rolls over a nearby log and looks under it for bugs ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:10:40

ACTION> There are bugs under the log.

ACTION> The water flushes out a bit of the liquid, but not much, since what's in there is pretty viscous.

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 22:11:43

:: collapses on the shore again, settling next to and resting again on Acacia, tired as can be ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:11:44

:: grins further, surprised at Kate's mirth ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:12:24

:: grabs handfuls of bugs, crunching a couple that look relatively tasty and showing the rest to Acacia before tossing them into the river above the net, knowing some will get swept away but hoping many of them will serve as bait ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:13:34

::rinses off the flint knife she's using and tries to excise the remaining visible green stuff out of the bite as much as possible.::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 22:13:45

:: walks full-circle around the clearing, looking across and over it, not finding anything of note in any direction besides the camp that he's currently calling home, and that the top of the hill is not far, but with the canopy of trees running solidly all the way to the top. Still, he might as well continue to see if there is anything to be spotted. So having fully circled around the meadow and now back at the top, he continues on up the hill. ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 22:14:30

::Hold his hand out and hums, sening out a call like he had done the previous day, hoping something comes to him.::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:14:42

:: takes a few to eat for herself, and saves two for Grey when she wakes up, killing them so they won't run away. She watches the water, waiting calmly ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:15:07

:: watches for fish to fall into their trap ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:15:13

:: almost giggles, feeling a million times better now that she has at least a couple of the small comforts of civilization :: XO: Like I said, better than the woods, right? There is no paper, though... Anyway.

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:16:26

::desperately wishes she had a set of normal surgeon's tools.. a laser scalpel would be reaaaaallly nice right about now::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:16:49

:: collects some more rain water while he watches ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:17:47

:: moves to the front door and is glad to see that there are recessed decorative inlays on the inside to allow for a better grip ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:18:11

:: sets out some leaves cradled between rocks to collect a little rainwater and then stands miserably under a tree near the far bank to try to stay dry while they wait for fish ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:18:29

:: goes through the doors and begins to pull at them from the outside :: CO: I'll come in through the back door later, right?

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:19:02

:: nods as she leans into the door, pushing against the inlays with both hands ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:19:42

:: pushes, the mundane task causing her mind to already wander where she should look for wild game ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:19:42

:: lets her head lull back, breathing in the rain as it falls on her face. She pets Ryleigh's hair, resting her hand on her ear to keep the rain out. :: CSO: Waiting is always the fun part.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:20:12

XO: I will have a fire going when you return. Good hunting! :: as the door screeches closed between them ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:20:27

:: calls quietly from across the stream :: MED: so what do I do on this side once it's time?

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 22:20:52

:: grumbles, batting at the hand covering her ear slightly before settling again ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 22:22:51

:: finally reaches the top of the mountain, realizing he's at the climax, such as it is. So in the interest of getting the best view possible, he looks around for the tallest tree and starts climbing it. ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:22:52

:: chuckles, lifting her hand and waves a finger, gesturing to the trees the net is tied to :: CSO: So you'll pull the corner towards you, and up. If you were alone you'd tie it up, but if we can hold it you can just grab the fish and toss them onto land. Or a bucket. But heh.. :: she shrugs ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:23:21

::has cleaned out the bite as best she can by now, and does her best to bind the wound with strips of leaves and a pad of cloth that she's torn from a section of her pajamas:: NAV/CEO: I've done everything I can for now. We need to get her up, so we can get to the camp as soon as possible.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:23:39

:: nods, looking at the net and picturing what she needs to do ::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:24:08

:: slurps the rain he gathered and nods ::

XO Cdr Kuari 18-Dec-2019 22:24:31

:: hurries out to find something for Kate to cook, taking in a deep breath of the cold air, but smiling nonetheless that she would return to a warm home for the night ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:24:50

ACTION> Jude regains consciousness and still feels groggy and nauseous, but can walk again.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:25:06

:: sips rainwater collected in one of her leaves before setting it back out to collect more, and looks down into the river, hoping to see many fish gathered over the net ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:26:09

:: looks in the closet by the door, and finds a pair of something like Wellingtons, so she puts those on even though they're slightly too small, and a wide-brimmed hat, which she gleefully seizes ::

:: tucks the kitchen knife into her belt and heads out the back door into the rain, closing the door behind her and double-checking that it is not locked ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:27:20

::smiles in relief at Jude:: SCI: Welcome back..

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:27:34

ACTION> Fish are starting to congregate around the net, attracted by the bait.

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:29:04

:: helps Jude to her feet ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:30:07

:: scouts the sorts of places that she did during the rain on the second day, under thick canopies of forest, logs, etc, for dry kindling ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:30:13

:: quietly tries to draw Acacia's attention to the fish ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:31:28

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:31:54

:: brings back an armful to the patio outside the sliding glass door and notices a retracted awning above it ::

:: since it obviously has no power, she searches for a manual crank ::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:33:39

CEO: I think we are ready to move again. :: still supporting Jude ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:34:30

:: pokes around near the control panel, and finds a stone that is worn far differently than the others around it, because it is fake ::

:: presses against it and it pops open, revealing the manual crank for the awning ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 22:34:57

::Stays quiet for a moment, whilst he attempts to summon something to him.:: Self: I wonder if they understood what I was asking of them the first time. ::Slowly stands himself up.:: NAV: This way. ::Points with his cane.

SCI LtJG Jude 18-Dec-2019 22:35:35

:: mumbles something incoherent about dirt in her shoes, despite the fact that there are... no shoes ::

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 22:35:57

:: slings Jude's arm over his shoulders to help her walk, and moves them along after Ilaihr ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 22:37:10

:: finds himself now at the top of the tree he climbed... looking in all directions from a good few feet above the rest of the canopy and he can see all around. And all around, besides his own camp behind and the mountain range beyond it, he sees... ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:37:12

::supports Jude's other side:: SCI: Ok, one step at a time.. even if your shoes are dirty. ::somewhat worried about the incoherence, but getting her to a safe, warm place is higher priority::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:37:31

:: fights against the crank, since it hasn't moved in forever, but finally manages to get the awning out over the patio! ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:37:48

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 22:38:00

:: waits until the moment is right, then gets to her feet, leaning over to grab the net a bit further down in preparation. She gestures to Wright to get into position. ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:38:14

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 22:38:37

:: gets into position, carefully grabbing the net ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 18-Dec-2019 22:38:52

::Nods, switching hands over the fire.::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 22:59:51

All: Yes, it's really good to see you all. Med: She was bitten by a venomous spider. I had to drain the wound, but she still has venom in her system.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 22:59:55

:: it doesn't, really, but the light is nice as the evening arrives ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 23:00:36

:: is trying very hard to mask her immense disappointment ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 23:01:32

NAV Lt Navarro 18-Dec-2019 23:01:47

:: watches Emily work ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 23:02:07

CSO: Yes, we'll need to keep her warm to keep her from going into shock. Boil some water for cleansing the wound. Ideally I'd have an antivenom, but if we can find some herbs for a poultice, it may help.

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 23:03:18

CMO: It will be difficult to locate such herbs with the black of night fast approaching.

TAC2 1Lt Grey 18-Dec-2019 23:03:24

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 23:04:22

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 23:04:44

:: pulls one of the outdoor chairs on the patio over and cleans it off a bit, finding it to be constructed from some material that allowed it to stand up as well as the house did, then sits by the fire under the awning ::

:: sees the fire Kate has made and gladly makes her way down to it. The trees are somewhat thick and she lands on the trunk of a tree just outside the patio, carefully scaling down it with her claws ::

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 23:05:29

:: shakes her head slightly, speaking quietly :: CMO: Our best bet here, now, might be adrenaline. Anything we can do to make her immune system more comfortable.

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 23:05:39

:: hears the claws scrabbling, but knows that has to be Kuari, so she waits with a smile ::

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 23:10:07

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 23:11:15

CSO: If we're going to live on this planet long term we're going to need to know plant properties to make medicines. I agree it's dangerous to use them untested though.

:: finishes processing the pile of fish and goes to wash her hands in the stream ::

CMO Lt Tailor 18-Dec-2019 23:16:04

MED/CSO: You're right, and testing is more of a long term solution rather than an immediate one. We'll just have to do what we're capable of right now.

:: perks up a bit, holding Jude by the shoulder :: SCI: Hey there. Don't try to get up, relax. You're okay.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 23:36:11

SCI: Jude? It's okay. You're safe.

SCI LtJG Jude 18-Dec-2019 23:37:37

I.... hurt. :: mumbles, before falling asleep ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 23:37:52

CEO: This is a strange world. Some of the stars I have seen here, look familiar, but other's are not. Perhaps we simply saw them from an extreme angle we are unused to seeing them from.... or perhaps we are not when we should be.

:: cocks his head at Ilaihr :: CEO: Not where we should be?

MED Lt Acacia 18-Dec-2019 23:39:15

:: exhales sharply, concealing her worry as best she can. She cuddles up with Jude to lend her body warmth. ::

CO Capt Harper 18-Dec-2019 23:39:23

:: brings the knife back in and cleans it, too ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 23:40:09

CTO: No, dear boy. When. Stellar drift. The stars may be in different places, than we know them to be.

CSO Cdr Wright 18-Dec-2019 23:40:52

:: wonders how they're talking about seeing stars when it's raining like this ::

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 18-Dec-2019 23:41:07

CEO: It could be a simulation, but not a holographic one. No hologram could trick my senses, like this. And if that is the case, then we are encased in a machine, with devices probing our minds.

:: ducks into the bedroom, looking at the bed she will get to sleep on later. A little light from the fire can be seen through the window, causing a faint flicker across the walls, but otherwise it is very dark now. She then goes by the counter to snatch a fruit with her teeth before trotting outside to enjoy the fire ::

SCI LtJG Jude 18-Dec-2019 23:42:47

:: blinks awake again from the cold, and glances at Ilaihr's direction :: CEO: Whu?
