Brax was reading the survey report on his way up to the top level. There he was to make sure all weapons and gear was to be accounted for in the armory. The information was little it seemed, the probes must not have been able to pierce the veil of clouds found on Alpha-Seven. Still the forests could hide many dangers within it's thick and abundant foliage. He just hoped none of the crew members would recklessly endanger themselves by charging headlong into it. As he reached the top level with a cup of water he saw out of a window one of the crew doing that very thing.
The member bounded so fast into the forest he would have missed'em if he blinked. There was only one person on the crew that could move like that and that must be the Captain! Spitting out his water in disbelief, he ran into the armory and geared up in what seemed like an instant. He was donned in his pneumatically sealed
power armor suit and equipped his
4E-336 Recycler Rifle and
.50 Sandlund Pistol. He read the survey far enough to understand the planet's atmosphere was hospitable but nevertheless wore his helmet anyway. Never know if you might run into toxic gas or any noxious fumes for that matter.
As he ran out of the ship, cartridge locked and loaded, he noticed the Doctor and the Cook standing before him.
"Both of you are out here too?" He asked, sounding concerned.
"I saw the Captain bookin' it into the wilderness, there were no signs of danger right?" He asked as he held his rifle close to his chest. He continued to scan the area around them as his helmet's HUD display showed no hostile targets in their vicinity.
"Hm, my display shows nothin' but that doesn't mean nothin' ain't out there. I'm goin' to check in on the Captain, if you two are coming it'd be wise to stay close to me." Brax suggested. He then headed north in the direction that Celcius went. Using what tracking capabilities the helmet's HUD possessed he would find the Captain standing before him.
"Captain, Ma'am! You alright out here?" He asked concerned. He then noticed that she seemed distracted by something out there. As he looked his HUD indicated an moving target which happened to be a humongous fish swimming in...mid air!?
Defensively Brax raised his rifle into the air and called out,
"Captain! Stay back!" He warned. He was hired to be a guard and that's exactly what he plans to do. Whether it be the ship, it's contents, or it's crew he was ready to raise his arms in their defense. He slowly approached making sure to not disturb the monster any further. As he came up to Celcius's side he looked over to her and spoke,
"I don't think it notices us. We should move away from it before it does, Captain." He mentioned in a hushed tone.
