Earth

Over the noise of the crowd, Sin couldn't even hear her brother when he called to her. She rolled her eyes at the girl that rushed the guy after she did, really did she need to try to out-attitude her? She also glared at the guard and the chancellor's daughter when they neared the door, but as soon as the door was actually open, her attention was taken away from them.

Earth was... beautiful. The air was so clean, fresh, not recycled and tin smelling like on the Ark. One guy went cartwheeling right into the world. She had to smile at that, but it definitely wasn't all she had to smile about. Soon, Silas was pushing his way through the crowd until he could throw his arms around his sister. Sin stumbled back a step in surprise, and almost punched the poor guy in the groin before she realized who it was.

"What are you doing here?!" Silas's voice was muffled in her shoulder.

Sin chuckled quietly and pat his back, then turned to curl an arm around his neck and ruffle his hair with her free hand. "Couldn't let you have all the fun, could I?"

After a short time celebrating their reunion, Silas settled down to looking around in awe. They had actually made it to the ground. He didn't feel sick or anything. So far, this was looking to be a whole new world he'd never expected, and he was beyond relieved. He wanted to make shelter, a home, to settle in and never have to deal with any of the Ark's stupid rules again. Sin, on the other hand, was looking farther ahead. She also really wanted to explore.

The guy from the door went back into the drop ship just as Sin was starting to look for things to construct a bow. She'd probably need Silas's help with that if she didn't want it to fall apart, but they needed food, and they had no idea how much damage radiation had done to the wildlife. If she happened upon an animal, she needed to be able to hunt it for food in case they didn't find another for a while. She gathered belt and scraps, broken off pieces of metal and anything she could find that she thought might be useful. She was a bit impressed that the guy seemed to be doing the same, but because he was talking to the snobby girl from before, she steered away from him.

Silas was wandering around the camp with the others, but he wandering in and out of the drop ship because he wasn't comfortable letting his sister out of his sight for more than a couple minutes at a time. Really it was probably more like a few seconds each time, but they didn't exactly have clocks all over the place, so he wasn't sure. Anyway, it wasn't long before he heard a "Silas!" reverberating out the drop ship door, and he was running in there like he thought she was dying. Instead, he found her with a... what even was it?

Sin had tried to construct a backpack, and put most of the stuff in it, but while she was trying to put together a bow, it fell apart and everything spilled out. While the others left, Silas helped his sister put everything back together, far better than it was before and more importantly in a way that would actually hold. He even made her some new weapons, knives and the like, that she hadn't entirely figured out how to sharpen or anything before. After finally making enough arrows to fill a makeshift quiver, Sin handed the pack off to her brother. Silas looked at her with wide eyes as she ran off, but after that delay he hurried after her.

Now, Sin hadn't paid any real attention to the Chancellor's speech, but Silas had. She seemed to be wandering off on a separate path to the other group, but it still wasn't the right way. Silas hurried to catch up with her, and caught her arm. "Wait, sis.." He looked around. "There's supposed to be a supply station, remember? Where are we going?"

"What?" Sin turned around and lifted her eyebrows questioningly, but kept walking backwards toward the woods. Just then, a male voice called out, and they both looked back toward the others.

"Hey! You’re going the wrong way. We need to get to that mountain."

Silas faltered, looking where the guy pointed. He certainly wasn't liking the authoritative tone the guard boy was taking, but Silas was pretty sure he was right. Assuming the guard guy was right, though, that meant they'd been dropped on the wrong mountain. Of course. The Ark just couldn't stop messing things up for everyone. Silas grit his teeth.

Sin, on the other hand, rolled her eyes. No way was she going to be taking orders from pretty pretty princess and her prison guard boyfriend. The next guy to step up definitely got on her good side with that "You're not in charge here" comment, though. The girl irritated her at first, but by "Collecting supplies for the journey isn't too irrational, is it?" Sin had decided she quite liked her.

Once it seemed clear that no fists would be flying, Sin sighed, and against her brother's judgement, stepped back toward the group. Despite the egotistic power struggles and general abrasiveness of most involved. "It's too late to make it there by nightfall," she interjected evenly. "We have no idea what radiation has done to the flora and fauna on the ground so we should probably split into teams to make shelter here, and explore the surrounding areas in search of food and water. Hopefully we can find something to hunt that will prove life is actually possible down here and we aren't just dying off slower than anticipated."

Silas tensed behind her, as this wasn't something that had occurred to him. His hands twitched at his sides. He really needed to start doing something or he might crack under the anxiety. "Earth studies was my best subject, if there's anything out there I can track it, and I can kill it...at least in theory," she added that last bit quietly, and reluctantly, then nodded her head back toward Silas. "My brother's good with his hands, he can help build things, make weapons and tools."

Sin was a bit disappointed she was going to have to deal with the others so soon, considering how easily annoyed she was by most of them, but she knew working together was their best option. Silas really didn't want to be separated from his sister again. Sin started off in the direction Alex had run off in, and Silas followed her looking hesitantly, looking more than a little uneasy.
