Welcome to Gaia! ::

Todd not seeing any respose from Lasten decided to go check on Dimitris. He came up from behind and saw on of the centaur from earlier. "Kind of creepy lookin...." he thought to himself before he looked to Dimitris. "So who is this?"

Lasten bowed deeply to the creature in the doorway, then resumed his cleaning of his swords, reworking the edges to monomolecular edges, so sharp that he could score diamond with them; the mono edges had probably been the only things that had allowed him to hack through the Dragons armor. He looked out a window at the massive corpse, and shivered- if that thing hadn't been wounded by his Gate-Ship beforehand, he would not have been able to get close to it. A thought came; he wouldn't have been able to get close to the Dragon, even in its injured state, if the Centuarmon and its ilk had not distracted it first. He wiped down his swords one last time, then slid them into their sheaths and rose again,then walked over to the Centuarmon, pausing at the table with the bound and unconscious Erinyes Shockunit. He looked the creature over; a masterpiece of genetic engineering and Biological sciences, it was a testament to the knowledge and skill of its creator. But it was twisted, just like the Dragon, a twisted masterpiece forced to fight and die for a distant (and given the sheer numbers of them sacrificed in its attacks) Uncaring master. He shook his head at the waste, then continued onward.

"I wouldn't worry about this ship too much, Centaurmon.... If you have to worry about any ship exploding spontaneously, it would be mine"
He looked past the quadrupedal cyborg and looked over the battered and damaged cylinder that had been a fully functional Lantean Gate-Ship less than a hour before. He saw the maintenance robot had been activated, and was now busy with placing the forward view port back into place. His eyes narrowed as a few blinding flashes from a plasma torch came, then he focused his gaze back on the creature in the doorway.
" I must thank you, Centuarmon, for distracting the Erinyes Dragon long enough for me to jump on... We might have all perished if you had not showed up when you did. You have my thanks."

He looked at Rocky for a moment, then nodded his head in greetings to Todd.
"Greetings to you, Todd...A pleasure to meet you."
He looked at Rocky again.
" Rocky, I have been in a stasis pod for the last several thousand years.... I haven't had much chance to explore, given I've been asleep that entire time....Although......"
He broke off thinking; While he himself had been busy right after the ship had crashed helping to fix the damage, the ship itself had undoubtedly been running scans. And it had been a team from the Golden Spirit of Fire that had woken the Erinyes and resulted in the deaths of every crew member but him. So, it was possible that the entire planet had been mapped.... and the information would still be in the ships databanks.
And the ship herself would have kept scanning even as I slumbered...


"The Battlecruiser I was on would have scans of the area;up to date, detailed scans. We could retrieve them.... But its a fair ways, and both our ships are currently trashed. Plus there would be Erinyes there.... no, forget it. the data is lost to us for now."

((sorry school))
Over hearing the last part of Lasten's conversation, Todd moved over twoards him. "A map you say? Well lets go for it." he said. He then began to ponder on about those creatures that attacked them earlier. Well couldnt we just divide up into two teams and have one distract while the other gets the data?" He asked

"Dividing up wouldn't be a good idea on this land, many have been lost here and I'm taking a risk being seperated from the others...but I sense something about you all..."
the minotaurean backed away from the hatch of the ship and trotted over to a steep slope, and pointed to a faint light in the distant mountains as dusk slowly came.
"there is a city far from here, I'll lead you there through a hidden path. Don't worry, I AM the Map....mostly."

(Hey guys, why is Rens profile suddenly not viewable by anyone? I'm on her friends list, and I can't look at it. I think somethings up with her. when was the last time any of us talked to her?)

Lasten mulled the Cyborgs offer over, then decided.
" I have nothing better to do.... I am willing to go."

The Lantean looked over at his ship again as the repair 'bot chirped loudly, and stepped over to it. he spent a moment rummaging through the jumble of supplies- everything from uniforms to body armor to what he suspected to miniturized shield generators to fully charged sidearms were there, and he had to root around before he found the paarticular thing he wanted. He spent a moment inspecting it, then slipped the Lantean PDA into a pouch along with a long range communicator and a large number of power cells for them and for his arms and armor; It paid to be prepared for anything. Lasten stuck his head out the hatch as he inspected a medkit.

"If anyone needs armor or a weapon here, I got a few.... just don't play with the jellyfish things. they tend to explode if you tinker too much with them, and I have enough stuff onboard,the blast would be quite big. Otherwise, take what you want, leave the 'bot alone"

He closed the med case and tucked it away, then clambered out of the Gate-Ship and stood at Parade rest, feet shoulder width apart and hands clasped together behind his back.

"Ready when you are"

Dimitris finished thinking over whether to go or not through the path before Shadow made a suggestion. "We'll eventually come under attack again at this rate of delliberation." "You're right Shadow there isn't much to debate that. I might as well go too." Getting up from his seat he pulled back on the plate armor that seemed as strong as Lasten's, though considerably smaller.

"Lasten, this pulse rifle from the Aurora, is this technology on par to yours?" Leaving it on the crate by the entrance he rummaged through the armor for something more durable.

Todd seemed to smile at the word armor before making is way over to the supply. "Ok avoid the jelly fish things and....I'll take this plate right here.....and this side arm wouldnt hurt to bring along...." he thinks before taking some aromor and another gun. He took his time to put the armor on getting a feel for it. It wasnt as heavy as he though it was but it still felt odd to wear. "Glad he said there was some here....Dont really want to be out here with those things out there..." "Ok Im ready." He said putting gun away and readjusting his rifle.
