Cyd leaned against the shuttle reading a brochure while the boys changed. In her head she was making checklists. What to keep eyes on, what had to be done, what came next.The oppressive heat convinced her to tie her oversized Dyton Tech Tee-Shirt at the waist.  “Tour bus leaves at 1400, sharp,” she reminded them, shaking the brochure  as they stepped through the hatch.

“Wouldn’t want to be late for that,” Mathias, who would rather remove his eye teeth than go on a ‘group tour’, snapped as he rolled his eyes. 
 
“Ja nee?” she agreed even though she knew he was being sarcastic. Isaac winked an affirmative response, his almond eyes partially obscured by the fake horned rimmed glasses he was wearing to make him look, in his own words, more ‘sciency.’  “I want to get to see some of the jungle and besides,” she fanned herself with the brochure for emphasis. “It’s air conditioned.” The latter part seemed even more important now with the oppressive heat. For her part, Cyd carried her cortex and extra gear in a backpack slung over one shoulder. “They were serious about the climate, it’s lank humid,” she commented, worrying a bit about her equipment in this kind of weather. “Stark contrast to the fish ship, oweh?” 

“I liked the fish ship better eh? Feel like I'm swimming around rather than walking.” Mathias said already feeling the film of instant sweat forming from the insane humidity and heat.

“Don’t worry, according to what I saw, the Iab is a cool, comfortable climate controlled 72 degrees at all times - except for the greenhouses but you two won’t be anywhere near them. “Visitor badge,” she continued, handing her ‘sciency’ brother a laminated visitor badge with his photo. 

"Look at our Lolo … looking all grown up. With a respectable job …" Mathias sniffed, wiping a fake tear away. " … it's making my glasses fog up!"

"Seriously, does he have to come??" Isaac whined, one hand jabbing a thumb towards his older brother, the other defending against the impending hair tousling.

"Oh, should we take a picture? You know like those other parents when their kid starts school or something but you know … grand larceny … other than that exactly the same." Mathias chuckled, fighting Isaacs flapping hands to try and tousle the poor kid's hair.

Cyd shot Mathias [i] the look[i], “Really?” She said with an exasperated sigh. 

"Pardon me for wanting to cherish every moment." Mathais said, trying to keep a straight face and failing as he fell into giggles.

"I'll cherish [i]your[/i] moments." The younger Skye grumbled. It sounded more menacing in his head. "So are we ready or not?" He asked, his expression petulant.

"I've been ready. We're just waiting for you, you remember your lunchbox?" Mathias teased.

Isaac clicked his teeth with his tongue, clearly annoyed, as he half heartedly raised his backpack to show his brother.

Cyd shot one more warning glance before activating the com in her ear, tapping her temple to remind the boys to do the same. “Give me seven minutes to set up, then Mathias, you’re up,” she said, bringing them both ‘round on the task at hand. “Seven minutes!” 

Mathias saluted playfully as Cyd walked off to be their overwatch. 

Cyd returned the salute with a single finger as she went to set up her gear. 

Isaac snickered at his sister's gesture and looked to his brother. "Dork."

"You don't even know what that means." Mathias said, shaking his head sadly.
