[color=a0410d]"I'll try and keep the wildlife in mind, ma'am."[/color] Erka mused, beginning the Stellaria's descent. As the ship began its descent, Kiri made her way back up to her quarters to prepare. No telling what they could find here, so they should go fully prepared. She wouldn't take her Scarath body armor - that'd be a little overkill and not exactly good for first impression should they run into some sentient beings. Checking her appearance one last time in the mirror as she still wasn't quite comfortable in the uniform, she grabbed the only thing she'd need - her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e0/d8/fc/e0d8fc1b0754e49e8260b5d228c46b1b.jpg]blade[/url] and a small [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/004/448/373/large/ivan-lavretsov-6-00020.jpg?1483861831]Hand Cannon[/url] as the humans would call it. Most humans would struggle to hold the thing with two hands, but its stopping power was almost completely assured if you hit your target. Could only fire two shots before needing reloading, but she was confident in her aim.

Everything else wasn't needed for the most part. With their comms linked up and Erka monitoring their progress on the planet, he should be able to provide support and warn them relatively soon of any environmental hazards they should happen upon.

Malia for the most part kept to himself, going over some of the schematics and blueprints Harisa and Jessica had given him, trying to make sense of the complicated energy related engineering equations. To say his moth brain was overwhelmed, was an understatement.

[color=0076a3]"How far is close by?"[/color] Kiri asked as she stepped off the elevator, catching the end of Cherche's assumption before turning swiftly to Erka after Cherche answered. [color=0076a3]"Stealth systems engaged?"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"Affirmative."[/color] The Ant replied. [color=a0410d]"If human tech does what it says, the ship should have a chameleon effect going so anything visual won't pick us up easily."[/color]

[color=0076a3]"Good."[/color] Kiri looked out of the cockpit at the landscape, leaning over Erkas chair, studying the forest's edge quietly. [color=0076a3]"Keep me update on that signal, Kendrick. We'll conduct a preliminary investigation of this planet. I estimate our away time to be anywhere between three hours to six - so if we haven't radioed in sometime after that, assume something has happened."[/color] She walked away, turning from the cockpit and heading towards the cargo bay. [color=0076a3]"Tearch, you have the Bridge. Stay Alert and don't let anything on the ship without my approval. Stay alert."[/color] Pressing the button on her comm unit, Kiri spoke.
