After the awkward and hazy activity of three drunk soldiers carrying a large lizard through the hallways of a military ship the three of them spent little time setting Rareth down in the hold of the Hummingbird and running clumsily like a bunch of idiots. Or atleast that was all Shuo could remember as he awoke face first on the floor of his room. He picked his head up and felt the dry saliva give little resistance to his mandible. He stood up and looked around trying to get his bearings as his eyes adjusted from a cross eyed position. After realizing the alcohol had already worn off of him thanks to his implants Shuo decided to check a clock on one of the data pads next to his bed. It was still the same "day" as when they had started drinking but not being sure when they had started Shuo guessed it had nearly been a day. This was going to be a long trip.

After cleaning up and heading off to the armory like he had originally intended Shuo spent the next couple of days stripping apart his armor as much as he knew how to and fixing what wasn't fried from plasma and fusion rounds. While he couldn't take everything apart in the suit he knew enough to reliably take most of it apart and put it back together. Though there were many electronics that while he had access to he dared not touch them for fear of the techs messing with his armor once they got back to Pax, that was a lesson he had learned the hard way. Though most of the armor's electronics were intact he would have to get a new chest and shoulder plate as they were melted beyond what his field repair nanites could fix.

Since his armor was squared away and he had nothing else to do Shuo spent most of his time in the small gym the ship had. He also managed to help pass time by talking to other Masulu and Tempu crewmates swapping war stories, drinking stories, and general stories of messing around. While the idea of swapping old stories was not that appealing to Shuo during his early years he had come to appreciate the ability to know what someone else felt every once in a while. Once the time came to go meet their commanders on Pax Shuo made doubly sure to have his uniform in clean pressed condition and rank denotations polished then pinned promptly to his chest. When he arrived at the hanger he noticed that Rareth was also dressed up but more importantly had beaten him there. As he walked up the ramp of the shuttle and found a seat across from the lizard, noticing that she had the same idea as him to bring nothing with him besides a data pad. After tapping a news story Shuo looked up across to Rareth and said. "Let's hope we didn't pack light for nothing."
