If anyone had pointed out that Henry seemed slightly on edge, just the littlest bit distracted as of late, they would have been right about that. But it went beyond just the natural sort of 'oh shit on a stick, it seems as if our ship has blown up for vague reasons and we happen to be in charge of said ship - or WERE - that blew up so there will be questions eventually as that's only natural so we must assume our serious business faces and carry on as usual and still remain leaders despite the scattering of the pods and now this landing on new uncharted territory' .. sort of distracted contemplation.

Something else seemed quite different since then, nearly elusive, and it was really starting to bother Henry. He was only capable of a feeble attempt at paying attention to the briefing of the scant forces. Really. Shouldn't they release an army of surly Italian chefs in case there were vampires hiding on this planet somewhere

As the exit opened and the reality of the lush outdoors made itself apparent, the Fruit Fucker 2000's antenna pinged up straight, the red light on it brightly burning with a lust for flesh. The delicious, smooth flesh of alien fruits. Little clawed hands made disturbing kneading motions in the air in front of it.

Horribly, horribly disturbing motions.

Instead of breaking ahead to engage in one massive fucking frenzy, however, the Fucker was going to be a team player. For now, at least, the glorious beeping machine made noises that were decidedly akin to laughter.

And that was when it scrambled up the closest member of the scouting team, clearly intending to perch on their shoulder.

Flay was just pretending he hadn't seen those disturbing motions. Yep. Then again, it was the Fruit Fucker, so this wasn't really anything new for it. Being out in actual fresh air was a good feeling, and Flay swung his mechsword over one shoulder before drawing forward.

The breeze felt even better on his face, and he wondered how he hadn't noticed how much he missed it before. The earth was springy and soft beneath his feet, much like the forests on Al-Revis, and Flay grinned. Now, if there were just monsters here... Hell, he could probably find all kinds of things to collect for his alchemy pot!

He glanced back at Haruko and Kevin, and found he couldn't even really mind when the Fucker climbed onto his free shoulder.

"Well, well! Time for some serious exploring, huh?" For all his preaching about justice and righteousness, Flay could sound downright sinister at times. This... was one of those times.

And Haruko had thought it really sucked when they were cooped up on the ship and she couldn't ride her vespa out in space or right out of that place. Hey, she had things to accomplish that had been put on hold indefinitely! It's not like space traffic was following any kind of flow, and everything was just broken.

But it was a million times worse in those pods. What was she supposed to do anyway!? Ride her vespa around on the bed? Yeah right. That'd be enough to get Kate to slash some tires and last she checked, there weren't spare tires hidden in the pods either.

So this exploration business was a welcome change from being cooped up in the pods, which if Medical Mechanica were here, they'd be wise to think the pods can actually iron brains instead of giant irons.

Haruko was all set and ready to go here! As long as this planet wasn't inhabited by ukelele players. Then that would call for drastic measures, like hiding between Flay and screaming at the top of her lungs about surprise buttsexAnd this exploration deal just got
