Atomic MuffinHe shakes his hand as well, smiling. KneeskeysllamaThe scanner beeps and the camera starts rotating, scanning the area. When it finishes going all the way around, it beeps twice and displays information about the area, including a list of every person in the room and some basic biological information about them based on species, but not much more than that. It also gives information about the surrounding materials and chemicals in the air, as well as temperature and pressure.

"Ooooh Interesting..." Lyra looks at her PDA to check if all the data transferred.

"They wouldn't let me have a big gun," Jade says pouting her voice and face making it clear she's joking.

"If they did, then there'd be no reason to pay me, now would there? And we can't have that." He laughs, checking all of his equipment one last time to make sure everything is secure. Satisfied, he waits for Lyra to finish.

"Life has taught me that it is never a bad idea to have more than one big gun," Jade smiles taking one last deep breath before relaxing.

Lyra looks at the file as she picks up the deployable scanner. "Everything is good here." She smiles at the two women. "Thank you two very much, maybe during break times we can do the conversing...yes?"

KneeskeysllamaThe blonde woman smiles and nods. She takes the scanner and attaches it to a clamp on Lyra's lower back. The other woman brings over two tablet-like devices, the tectonic scanner and the computing PDA, showing Lyra how to use them. The scanner is pretty simple to use, and the PDA isn't unfamiliar to her programming expertise. She puts the two handheld devices in pouches on Lyra's belt. "I think that's everything," she says.

Atomic MuffingasmaskKneeskeysllamaA holopad in the middle of the area beyond the aisles lights up, and the image of a man in a CES appears. He's holding the helmet at his side, which is hooked up to a tank on his back. "This is the CES basic operation tutorial," he states. "I'll be showing you how to remove, maintain, and operate your suits." He points to the lower sides of the vestpiece. "The release knobs are here and here," he points to the inner forearms of the gauntlets, "here and here," then at the outer ankles of the boots, "and here and here." He holds out the helmet. "There are two release latches on either side of the bottom of your helmet," he shows the latches. "Pull them simultaneously to depressurize it and take it off." Lyra, Ignacio, and Jade are all handed a helmet to fit them by the blonde woman, the Rakkarro, and the asian man respectively. The helmets have a little camera and light on the side, and are hooked up to oxygen tanks, which are latched onto the back of their suits, next to their primary equipment. "Now, this pouch here," the holographic man points to a pouch on the left leg of his suit, "holds the CES repair tape." He takes out a roll of gray tape and unravels a length of it. "If your suit is breached, like this," he gestures to a hole in the right leg of his suit, "then you have to seal it as quickly as possible." He takes out a small device with a trigger from the pouch that had the tape. He puts the length of tape on the tip and puts it over the hole, then pulls the trigger and the tape snaps off the roll, sealing itself on the suit with a hiss. He returns the items to the pouch, showing that the breach now looks tightly sealed by the tape. "Once that's done, you may wan to filter the air in your suit. Just hold your breath, bring up your wrist PDA," he holds up his gauntlet, "and run 'Emergency air siphon.' This will take about ten seconds to filter out the contaminated air with clean oxygen from your tank. Now remember, this suit will potentially be keeping you alive. Take good care of it, and good luck." He puts on his helmet and flips the latches, sealing the helmet with a hiss. Then the image disappears.

Atomic MuffinKneeskeysllamagasmaskThe helmets fit comfortably. The Rakkarro looks at all of them, then gives a thumbs up to a man wearing a headset at a console at the end of the room. He nods and types into the console. Then he speaks, and his voice carries over the speakers in the room: "Expedition pod zero-four, preparing for drop. Expedition crew boarding." The door of the second pod from the right opens up, revealing the interior, which has three chairs inside, facing each other. The Rakkarro motions the three of them toward the pod. "Alright, you're all set, let's go."

"Once more into the breach, a fiery death awaits," Jade mutters taking a deep breath and stepping reluctantly into the pod.

Ignacio waits for Lyra to get into the pod. He boasts confidently, "You don't give me enough credit, fuzzy. I scratched dying off the agenda for this trip."

"I have full faith in your ability to keep us from getting attacked." Lyra says as she gets onto the shuttle. "And your ability to keep us alive if we get hurt" She says to Jade, smiling warmly.

Atomic Muffin "Just because you're bald does not mean you get to call me fuzzy," Jade stuck out her tongue before smiling, "But don't worry, I'll still work to try and make sure both of your hearts are still functioning at the end of the day and that you glubark is in its proper place."

"Either that was a joke, or you need to brush up on human anatomy." Ignacio climbs into the pod,and gives a thumbs up to the crew outside.

Atomic MuffingasmaskKneeskeysllamaThe Rakkarro nods, smiling. She steps out of view, and the man from Ignacio's lane steps into the pod, pulling down each of the crew's harnesses and securing them. "Emergency eject is here," he says loudly, speaking over the thrusters that have turned on. He points to a button behind a cover on the harness. "It'll blow open the wall and send you flying out, so don't use it unless absolutely necessary. Emergency parachute is here," he points to a hook that you pull. "It's for in case you have to eject, but don't worry, there's not much atmospheric activity going on down there, we shouldn't run into any problems. Once you've landed, check the pod's sensors to make sure the area outside is safe. Then, unbuckle yourself from the harness and open the door with this latch," he points to the latch on the open door. "When you're ready to return to the ship, you're gonna close the pod and buckle in, then use that console--" he points to a console with some switches, "to filter out the air. Then punch in the return command and hit 'launch' to have it return to the ship. If something goes wrong, you can switch it to manual and pilot it yourself. Is everything clear? Any questions? One at a time, please."

"Nope," Jade says shaking her head once and gripping her seat as tightly as she can her mind flashing back to her youth, "Nope nope."
