Karl stood with his hands behind his back, listening to Andrew's question. The question was obviously not a fully serious one, but Karl answered it regardless, patting the PzF 3 Bunkerfaust on his back.
"Then we make it wish it was. Anything else, Keller?"
He could tell Keller had another question to follow it up.
"[i]Sir, I know we are no science group, but will we be collecting samples? Since we aren't wearing Has-Mat suits, it would suck to have touched some sort of Poison Ivy and not know about it until we are an hour away from the point of contact...Sir.[/i]"
"Our job is to recon and secure the immediate area. Once we do that a research group will join up with Team 4 and set up at the operating base and conduct research on the local flora and creatures from there with Team 4's help. Until then do your best to avoid direct contact with any of the fauna. If anyone does come up with anything, your team's medic will treat them to the best of their abilities and then will report back here ASAP."
Karl looked over the rest of the group, bringing his attention to Jack, giving him a nod when he asked to speak.
"[i]What do you expect to find in these mountains?[/i]"
"Rocks. Other then that your guess is as good as mine. We could find more of those green creatures or we could find something completely different. If we do come across something living, remember the ROE. Do not fire upon it unless you deem it hostile or a danger to you and your team."
Lucas' turn to ask his question was next.
"[i]Sir! If we find natives in this world, will we approach them or just observe them?[/i]"
"Current orders regarding local natives that are capable of thought and reasoning are up to team leaders. As I said earlier each team will be operating autonomously. If we do discover a local native then the team's leader will first figure out if the native is hostile or not then continue from there."
He directed the next part to the leaders of the other three teams, but it also applied to the rest of the group.
"Remember, if we do discover and local natives, the chances of them speaking one of our languages will be slim. If you plan on making contact with them keep that in mind."
He spend a few more moments answering questions from the member's of other teams. Soon everyone quieted down and no more questions were asked.
"Is that everyone? Good. Alright, everyone gather into your teams and move out towards your objective point. Team 1, follow me."
He moved back towards the group as everyone went into their assigned teams before heading off in their own directions. Team 1 heading off towards the closer mountains to the west. The mountains looked to only be a few hours hike from their current location. Luckily, the area they were heading too was a more shallow spot in the mountain range, thus the team didn't need to carry climbing gear with them. The team was about halfway to the mountains when they came across a wooden fence. The fence was old and falling apart, it hadn't been maintained in a very long time. The fence ran down up a nearby hill, disappearing on the other side then re-merging farther down, boxing in the area in front of them. 
"Looks like a pasture of some sort."
Karl stepped forward, lightly kicking one of the fence's posts.
"I reckon wherever this fence leads isn't too far off. We can probably follow it then still make it to the mountains today. What do you guys think?"
