[color=f26522]"Hn! Colonel, white man I may be, but we Serbs can handle a little stronger than a Jalapeno. With due respect, I think your number's a couple zeros short."[/color] he replied with a chuff as the newcomer took both his hand and the time to try and get her throat properly lubricated, affecting the slightest air of indignance. Certain Ajvar blends were hotter, let alone the nigh-ubiquitous Tabasco... Probably a little joke.

Anyways, traded jests aside, he hadn't missed the degree of creakiness in the young woman's voice— worst case of it he'd heard by a long shot. For as much as certain people's bodies differed in how well they re-acclimated to room temperature, Konstantin had to wonder— just how [i]many[/i] extra years in cryo did "some time" equate to? The humidity of the showers had gotten most everyone else working, even after 15 years, but this one still hadn't shaken it.

Even her grip seemed to still be weak. For all their sakes, he hoped she'd be up to scratch by the time they went on sortie.

And to speak of such:

[color=f26522]"Likely some magnetic field generator. If anywhere'd have one, it'd be us."[/color] he regarded the eternally masked Gypsy Alexandros, an oddball amongst the expedition in so many ways, moping her way through an MRE of her own. [color=f26522]"I doubt we didn't expect some rocks with dead cores and thin atmospheres. Mars all over again."[/color]

Or Ganymede. A rocky moon nestled within the magnetosphere of a gas giant certainly didn't seem terribly uncommon as far as exoplanets went, if memory served— certainly helped avoid radiation playing hell with your flight systems.

[color=f26522]"On the bright side, it isn't as if there'll be many beaches to worry about that on. We'd have heard of a planet like Earth by now."[/color]
