(In the space of time it takes Bones to make several transmissions...)
"Now, before I open this, realize we tried to stitch your friend back together as best as possible, to give him a proper burial. It still may be a little shocking. Prepare yourself."
With that, Shepard opens up the icebox, flinching at the sharp hiss as the seals are once again broken, and steps back, to let the native see his friend... |

For some reason, he looks down at his arms and hands as he looks upon the stitchwork done on the dead native. "Stitched him back up, of course." Ten minutes of contact with the natives, and you already know he's got no belief behind his words. But, he doesn't act beyond putting the body over his shoulder and begin the process of walking away from the camp. As he reaches a darker part of the camp he hollers back "You should all go now. Your numbers are too few, and you're too noisy, to survive here for long. This jungle isn't safe." And then, he's gone. |

((Damn Doc, how much did you cut that body up?))
((Man, I feel sick with myself. Didn't expect him to understand surgery, so I thought this was a safe way to explain it...)) |

((OK, Mav's weekend kicks my weekend activities squarely in the NUTZ!!!
My game's went off without a hitch, but I can't say the Con was much fun elsewise. Even with GM preferential treatment, I couldn't get into games I was interested in...
(and a buddy told me earlier today he got WAY hammered last night after I left, and woke up this morning with a LARP hottie (his words, I'd go about a 7 out of 10, personally). I'm getting the "You went to a Con" cold shoulder, at the moment (non-gamer wife). Yeesh... ))) |

If it makes you feel better I managed to get sunburned horribly on the backs of my hands and on the top of my knees, from when the groom and groomsmen went out for a day of boating and drinking. I have no idea why those are the only places I was burned, despite putting on sunscreen. |

OK, get to work, you two. At least I think you're responsible for the next rounds of posting. |

"Safe?", mutters Shepard. "We aren't paid to play safe..."
"Bones! Get ready to fly out. We've lost contact with the Commander's team. I need you to fly closer to their location, and see if you can raise them on the horn. I need to know if some natural phenomenon is causing the interference, or hostile forces. Full stealth; do not engage anything except as a last resort. See if you can get eye's on the Integrity, but do *not* compromise your position, clear?"
"Doc, let's get Bones' Cyclone back in his rig, then you fire up your mecha, and I'll get the Legios ready. I'd prefer not to leave the rest of our mecha alone at base, but if the rest of Theta need a hot evac..." |

Just to be certain, you two are holding steady back at the campsite waiting to hear from Bones once he gets to the Integrity? I'll post his response once I know for sure. |

((As I said, I'd prefer not to leave several billions credits worth of advanced Robotechnology just "laying around" for the locals to get curious about. Bones is a recon Alpha pilot, he should be able to do this with a minimum of fuss. Stealth ain't exactly mine or the good Doctor's strong points...)) |

Oh yeah, I just was thrown a lil by your final sentence. One Valkyrie alone couldn't evac four guys, at least not safely. That's why I wanted to make sure what you n Doc Destiny were doing once you prepped the AJAC n Alpha (with Genius's Beta attached, yes).

"Clear as Sake, Shepard." Bones was already prepped to head for the Southern Cross anyway, so once his Cyclone is loaded back onto his Valkyrie, he speeds off towards the Integrity.
In time, a message is sent back through towards the campsite. "Shepard, Doc Destiny, I'm striking out on all attempts to make contact with the recon team. What's more, this ship is hot. I repeat, the Integrity is partially powered up. This is way more activity than just the radar systems from earlier coming online. Could be the work of Ares and the rest, but then why the radio silence? No visible hostiles, but something out here is definitely making me itch. Someone's got eyes on me, I can just feel it." |

Destiny sits in his AJAC, powered up, and awaiting orders.

With the Cyclone already in it? Yeah, none. Well, a bit...but not much. |

"Sorry kid, I'm still thinking...", mutters Shepard.
Dammit. If the ship is hot, there's no telling what kind of AA weaponry has been brought on-line, nor who's controlling it...
Well, one thing I better listen to...
"Roger Bones. Bring it back to the campsite. If we're gonna move out, I want to keep us as a group..." |

"On my way, then." Bones signs off and kicks up to 75% max speed.
When he's about a minute out however, Bones sends a quick uncoded transmission back to Shepard. "Shepard, Doc, I was being watched. Positive contact on six...no none Invid on my tail. Not sure I can handle them all solo...want me to veer off course, keep them away from the camp? Shit!" Bones paused and banked hard to the left as the scream of annihilation disks flew through where he'd just been moments before. "Yeah, definitely not sure about taking them all. So, bring them home for an intercept or keep them out in the field for you all to come to me?" |
