Falk had spent the Osprey ride slouching in his seat, listening to his music while playing a handheld game. It was his first proper mission, and he wanted to keep himself calm.

[color=8dc73f]"Careful, you're going to go blind."[/color] Falk said to Yui, stepping out of the plane behind her, his forearm covering his eyes. In his other arm, he was cradling his helmet, sleek and shining green, almost like a motorcycle helmet. He spoke from experience, having himself been blinded trying to watch Tian-Gui's transformation on more than one occasion. He rolled it into his hand and slid it over his head before starting to head into the forest. A small part of him was anxious. But a much larger point of him was [i]excited.[/i] This was what he'd been training for.

[color=8dc73f]"I'm going to scout ahead."[/color] He said as they entered the foliage. He raised his hands, and barely perceptible gossamer-thin strands shot out. In less than a second, he'd contracted them, zipping up to the tree and nimbly perching on a branch. His hand reached up to a button on the jaw of his helmet, activating the thermal imaging. On his visor's display, red, catlike shapes were appearing. His finger slid down slightly, pressing another button and activating the commlink.

[color=8dc73f]"We're being followed."[/color] He said, before leaping off his branch and shooting out a line, swinging to the next tree. He was playing it like he hadn't seen the enemies, and making a beeline for their destination. [color=8dc73f]"I don't think they know that we know. I say we keep an eye on them but be ready to engage. Yui, what do you think?"[/color]
