She stopped and took a moment to assess her situation. She hadn't heard any indication of movement but that didn't mean no one was there. She had been caught by surprise too many times to ignore her intuition. It was unlikely that whatever was around was inqisitor forces. They were never quiet about anything, used to being in control and acting like they own everything. This was more subtle, much more like herself. Whatever it was it was moving slowly and being very careful not to sound out of the ordinary. It almost blended perfectly into the rest of the sounds produced by this strange planet but something in her gut just knew what she heard could be danger. Having spent her whole life outside the law she was ready for surprises, still it could just as easily be a harmless herbivore. Suddenly she heard rustling behind her and immediately drew her shiv. She then realized she had told that group to catch up and that's what they were doing. They emerged out of the brush, just out of earshot of the main group, and greeted her. It seemed only five had joined her. [b]"Yo, Mama Dee. We found some good shit, here."[/b] The one in front, named Virgil, tossed her a handgun which was both surprising and pleasing. [b][color=purple]"Good work, you're already proving yourself to be useful. Now let's get the hell away from this crash site before the locals come to investigate."[/color][/b] It seemed that everyone who decided to join her was convicted of violent crimes like murder which meant she'd have to keep them in line or they might get stupid ideas. So now she had a group of three guys and two girls, all of which knew her from prison. Virgil was simple enough to figure out, he was tough but always the right hand man, never clever enough to make his own decisions. He always backed her up until she had gotten put into solitary confinement. Marcus was a big bruiser who killed an inquisitor before he got locked up, good muscle to have on your team. Hung Lo was perhaps the most attractive of the men but more importantly he was a carpenter from a long family line of carpenters and there was plenty of wood to work with. Lucy was lithe, quick, and rumor has it she's a good shot, she would be a good lookout. Finally there was Ana, short of Anastasia, who could probably seduce the bark off a tree. She didn't really have any skills but she had stabbed two inquisitors, one of whom died, and that was good enough she supposed. So Dee-Dee and her band of murderers started to make their way north. A few more seconds of walking and she noticed a change in the ambience, it was... quiet? Ever since they landed she was bombarded by the constant sounds of nature. It was a stillness, the kind you get right before an inquisitor raid party smashes through an entire business office to arrest one guy. Still, she couldn't just stay put. So she started to press forward again. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen. She kept checking behind her and around at the surrounding trees. It was finally starting to really settle in just how alien this world was. She had no clue what was waiting out there, for all she knew they were walking towards the nest of some enormous creature and they were minutes away from being swallowed whole.
