As the trucks lumbered on, Zenkichi didn't have much else to say, the melancholic mood admittedly getting to him a bit. Some old habits died hard, and even with his re-discovered dedication to justice, Zenkichi was prone to melancholy since Aoi's death. So he sat, mostly quietly, in the truck, watching the landscapes pass him by, enjoying the sights and taking in the devastation. [color=BFBFBF]"It's wild...just how much [i]stuff[/i] there is out there, ruined...[/color] He sighed when they passed a particularly wrecked area on their way to the salvage zone. 

Once they stopped, Zenkichi was quick to get out and stretch his legs, half-hearted grumbling about his age. The sight of the massive plane crash made him whistle. While Tora got to work on disabling the automated routing of the salvage trucks, Zenkichi and the others joined Giovanna in keeping an eye out on the local 'wildlife'. Thankfully, these machines weren't hostile, but there was no telling what was and what wasn't, so he kept on alert. Soon enough, they were back underway, the two truck teams splitting up.

When the truck Zenkichi was in stopped at its second destination, the Investigator stepped out and immediately began looking around, balking at some of the machine forms in this place. [color=BFBFBF]"Definitely don't wanna get close to the water. I'm not sure how closely these things take after the animals they look like, but hippos and crocodiles are some of the deadliest animals on Earth."[/color] After pointing out the machines he was referring to, his attention shifted to the construction site. [color=BFBFBF]"I'm thinking we check that out,"[/color] he told the group as he pointed towards the giant crane, [color=BFBFBF]"Might be some goodies lying around that we can use, and there's bound to be plenty of machines wherever we head."[/color]

Summoning Valjean, Zenkichi drew his revolvers and looked at the others. [color=BFBFBF]"Open to other suggestions, of course, but...well, we're here to scout, right? Figure that's the place to do it, nice and high, fairly open sightlines. Might just be a pain to get there...definitely be a fight and a half." [/color]
