Off in the middle distance, across a clearing from the motorpool and points 'away' from the main settlement area, the doors of a large hanger moved slowly open, revealing the interior. A cylindrical object seemed to float above the floor before nosing its way out of the doors. Once completely outside, it began to rise in the air; rather than moving straight up, it edged its way, nose angled up, just as an aircraft would.

Slowly it rose, flying over the tents and pre-fab houses, over the motor pool, and as it rose, over the lad lying on his back, obscuring the sun for a brief moment, causing a shadow to cross him before it continued on its path up into the air.

In a word?

In two? Way weird. Duo watched the object, the unknown flying.. UFO thing darting across his field of vision. He sat up and watched the object glide over head. - The Hell? Whatever it was, he didn't think it was good, and though it looked vaguely familiar, he didn' trust it. Figured it'd probably be a good thing to investigate.

He jumped to his feet and started following the path of the object, more to quell his curiosity then to maintain a sense of security for the community.

There were more than a few people who looked up, but there wasn't much in the way of concern. Curiosity, certainly, and the 'coolness' factor was up with a good portion of the 'youth', those out for lunch from classes. Adults were able to pull their attention from the skies; not that it was an every day occurrence, because it wasn't. It was just that, well, there were other things that needed attending. Once it was ascertained that it wasn't dangerous, that bit of weirdness simply flowed into the next ( ... )

Duo stood a few yards away from his tree, scanning the sky and letting his eyes follow the craft in the air. The thing was cool, and he wasn't all that familiar with the whole UFO thing. He only barely flinched when the voice came in from outside his field of vision. Girl, young, bout his age, he reasoned all before turning, letting his eyes fall on her.

He turned his attention back to the craft as he made his way to close the gap between them. After seemingly becoming bored with it, he looked at her evenly, a charming grin on his face. "Guesso. They put the idea of aliens in your head and all of a sudden anything that doesn't look like a f-19 or a carrier.. Well.. You get the idea.." he paused briefly, shoving his hands in the pockets of his grease stained pants. "That and bein' stuck in the work shop all day everyday doesn't help."
