Six shifted his own limbs around--they were stuck on the ground now, which really meant he wished Hark was here. Hated being grounded, especially without the other man there.

Jackdaw seemed to be taking charge, which he was a-okay with--she seemed intelligent, after all, and capable, and that was all he needed. She turned to him, and he quickly tugged out his weapon, clicking through--needle, blade, back in--and then nodded. "Everything's fine on me."
As the ship started rocking rougher, Six tucked himself against a wall, wishing more than ever he had Hark here with him. Luckily, by the time the ship had stopped, he was against the left side and not across from anything. He managed to straighten up in the back, finding his bearings, and then quickly followed Jackdaw. He was used to some rough landings--granted, usually not quite of this nature, but he wasn't phased much by it. His weapon was still on his belt, his helmet and armor solid around him--he'd be fine.

He stood beside Jackdaw, giving her a quick once-over. "Armor alright?" His own didn't have too much technology into it, mostly just straight-up protection, but hers was more complicated, and latched into her skin ... he didn't wanna know what could happen to her if it were damaged.
Six moved into the ship as it opened, nodding passingly to Varus as he stepped up the ramp, and taking an out-of-the-way seat in the back of the vehicle. He was new, after all, and though generally he would have gone for a more forward seat, he usually had Hark with him, and they were usually among the first out of the vehicle. Varus had made it plenty clear this was a test run--although he really couldn't say why. Couldn't be judged on skills he wasn't using, after all--but in training he'd also been pushed to the forefront of everything, tested thoroughly in the most simple way he could be, and he'd come out alright. Couldn't say it didn't make sense, though, either--couldn't have some new guy botching a mission.

One hand, that would usually have rested on Hark if only for his grounding presence, clung a little tighter to the seat below him. He'd gotten so used to having his partner there, and in four years of existence as himself, knowing a guy for half of it made him closer than family. He doubted he'd feel comfortable again until Hark was back on this ship with him.
Oooo, very interested. Should potential character sheets be posted publicly, or should they be PMed and then just revealed when everyone gets the character they'll be playing?
Six turned to Rennac as he spoke, pulling his hand back and hooking his thumb lazily into his belt, the other arm still holding his helmet. He cracked a small smile, shrugging. "I figured it'd take a bit to prove myself--nobody just gets to do what they want as soon as their on. New people are new for a reason. It's okay, I can wait."

He turned at Jack's whistle, and reached to pull his helmet over his head. It was comfortable enough--he couldn't be sure whether that was by it's own design or just his being used to it, but either way, he had no qualms with wearing it. The vision was just as good as if he wasn't wearing it, after all--his armor and his weapon were all he really needed. Well, that and Hark--honestly, the far more crippling loss, but he'd functioned for ... well, apparently for about twenty four years, but he could only remember two of them, so he'd only count those. He functioned for two years without Hark, he could do it again for a handful of weeks, hard as it would be. Wasn't even just the help in missions--without his partner, it was like a limb lost.

But, he'd suck it up and keep on trucking. Hark would be here soon enough, and things would be a lot easier.
Six didn't respond to the comment--he hadn't interacted much with Varus, and though he was surprised and a bit peeved he would be written off so quickly, he didn't want to give the man a reason to dislike him further. He shifted backwards, moving so he was a bit more out of the way. Only one more person appeared--he recognized this one, if only from a few briefings, as another Infiltrator, and so he turned to her, giving a quick once-over.

After a moment of consideration, he offered a hand and short introduction. "Six."
Six heard the call from his bunk, and rolled off of the bed. He was new to the ship--hadn't had much interaction yet, hadn't done much of anything really. His partner wasn't here with him, and with only a handful of years of "life" on him, he felt lost and unsure of things without Hark there. They were like brothers by this point, and Six barely knew how to get around without the larger man's help. Still, he pulled his armor from his locker, tugging the tight material over his body and opting to carry the helmet to the hanger under one arm. Hark would come soon enough, just a few more yards of tape to get through, and they'd be working together again.

The captain was there, along with a techie he didn't recognize, and Six walked towards them with the sharp sting of apprehension in his stomach. He stepped up with a straight posture and firm step, and offered a formal salute. "Sir."
Dresden returned to her room after getting the updates recommended--from a techie acquaintance, on the ship since a bit before she got on herself, who'd done good work as long as she'd known her. Her pocket contents were still spread over the cot, and she swept them to the foot of it with a quick wipe of her tail as she pulled her locker open, pulling out a small laptop type device--not quite useful enough to be called a personal computer, but good for checking messages, and downloaded full of games and a few books. She clicked it on, dropping backwards onto the bed, sparing a glance at the wall above her pillow before clicking onto games. The only decoration in the small bunk was a four by seven photograph, held up by two pieces of scotch tape, depicting a young boy with shaggy dark hair and wide brown eyes and arms wrapped around a girl--slitted gold eyes and dark yellow hair, clearly a young Dresden--who seemed to be caught mid-squirm, though her face still stretched into a grin.

With a few deft swipes of her thumb, Dresden pulled up some mystery adventure game and started playing. Nothing to do until the mission was done--settled in for the long haul.

Teeth was at least marginally more productive, packing up most of the basic supplies that the ground medics would need--he knew he didn't quite cover everything, but he had a few quick first-aid kits for them ready and boxed for when they arrived, and placed near the start of the medical ward where they'd be easily seen and picked up. Following that, he double-checked the organization of the stations--just in case people needed to pick up some more specific stuff--and then headed back to his own bunk.

His was more decorated--framed photographs of himself, landscapes, locals, various pictures of varying qualities, some seeming almost professional and some clearly amateurish. Scattered between these were the trinkets he'd collected before--the little rock, little necklaces and arrowheads, many of which were crude and unpolished, but every one held it's own charm and little aura of home. The new bracelet was gently balanced atop a frame holding a picture of a field of flowers--various colours, messy and unorganized, but the sun striking each one so that it glowed.

He, too, curled into his bed, snagging his reader off the table that served as his nightstand, and flipping it open to whatever page of the dimestore romance novel he was currently reading.
Just like, saying--for the mission, I'm just gonna put Teeth and Dresden on pause. They're the only ones on the ship and stuff, and they're both just ship crew, so we can just like let them sit around playing cards or something while the other stuff is going on. XD And I've got Six on ground team so like, I won't need 'em.
Yeah I'm cool with whatever
