[color=green]"Are we leaving that way?"[/color] Jessica asked.  [color=green]"Well. whatever. Guess you're the boss here."[/color] She added, shifting on her heels and wheeling over to the Cargo Bay.  She made it there quickly since the Engineering Bay was close.  Kiri arrived with the elf Sprinklestar right behind her.  [color=green]"Hey, so, we gonna get going then?"[/color] Jess asked,  [color=green]"How did you want to proc--."[/color]  

The Engineer was cut off by Cherche coming up on Comms. [color=violet]"CAPTAIN!  We.. Uhh, well. Two things. First of all, I've located the position of the signal. Three or so clicks northwest, through the jungle.  More importantly though...  Well, the terminal down there. I'm sending a video from the front camera of the ship."[/color]  She sounded worried, so it was good for the three to walk to the terminal in the bay.  Usually, it was for taking stock of items... But...

Once the video started, it showed the trees slightly rustling in the wind.  Nothing seemed amiss for the moment... Until the trees started to shake unnaturally.  A shadow became visible in the shade of the trees as some of the smaller ones were pushed aside or toppled completely.  The shadow exited the jungle canopy and looked around.  By human standards, it was approximately seven meters tall and at least 2 across.  It looked frightening yet familiar.  [color=green]"The hell... Is that a giant toucan mixed with a dodo bird or something?"[/color]  She asked to herself more than the others.  

It did resemble some unholy cross between toucan and dodo.  It's eyes had a similar look to a felines though in the position of a toucan's.  It's beak and head shared definite similarities with a toucan for the most part, aside the spike on the tip of the beak and the apparent  teeth that seemed to line the top of it's slightly open beak, but not the bottom.  The brown colored lower body was fat like a dodo, with small stubby wings that in no way could allow it to fly.  It looked around, as if knowing that something had been here.  After a couple of seconds, it seemed to decided that there were nothing here and turned back to the forest, angrily smashing into a medium sized tree on it's way back. [color=green]"A giant... Toucan Dodo.  Can't say I expected a giant one of those things.  Or... That it looked so ready to gore someone to death. Teeth means it eats meat after all."[/color]

[color=violet]"It umm, it's heading the way you're going to be going.  I don't need to tell you all to be careful, right?"[/color]  Cherche added,  [color=violet]"Play it safe out there."[/color]
