Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Morphine numbs the pain" Altair said simply, "I didn't know if you would want to shoot or not so I grabbed a rifle for you" Altair said hefting the rifle onto his shoulder. He walked down the hallway and climed stairs up several fligts of stairs before opening a hatch and climbing up onto the roof of the ship "it's abit windy up here" he called down and walked over to his usual spot, he set the second rifle down and took up a prone position, he was over looking a small pool of water, creatures of various speacies stopped here, and that's were Altair got both his shooting pratice and his food. nothing much at the moment...sometings bound to show up...always do He thought as he looked throught the scope scanning the shore.

"well...it all depends on what shows up" Altair said, he lowered the rifle and scanned the lake shores, a group of creatures made there way over a dune and stopped by the lake. Altair looked throught there scope at them , he grinned, the creatures were dog like and walked on four legs, they were larger then any dog or wolf on earth, there paws where larger to prevent them from sinking into the sand like snowshoes in the snow. they were rustic brown and tan colors helping them blend in with there enviroment, they drank like daogs as well, using there tounges to take water into there bodies "sand wolves...one of the dumber creatures...this lot looks like they haven't eaten in awhile which will mean well get alittle show in a minute" Altair said, he lined up a shot on the smallest of the creatures and fired the round hit the creature spraying blood onto the sand, the creature dropped dead.the others didn't seem to worry about the gunshot and instead glared at each other looking from the dead body to the others they began faighting eachother. "There fighting over the body...the winner will get three bodies to eat...but well be getting four" Altair said hinting at his intentions.

Gretchen blinked he was a very good shot. She lined up a shot, and squeezed the trigger and the first couple of shots missed but then when she got the feel for the gun she corrected her aim and shot one down. She put the gun down for a second and smiled to Altair. She didn't know if he was going to say good shot or not but she hoped he would. She put her gun back up and looked through it and thought she saw something that wasn't a dog. "What the Hell is that?" She said not really to Altair.



((haha he would have to had to run far.. They are in the middle of the dessert. wink ))

"not use to that large of a rifle huh?" altair said, he looked down the scope at the new being "...it's a cyborg...never seen him before...I'm going to see why he's here, I want you to stay up here and cover me with the rifle, he tries to make a move, blow what ever brains he has left out of his head" Altair said he went down the hatch making a quick stop at the armor, slipping on a combat vest underneath his clothing and reloading his shotgun revolvers as well asremoving a few rounds from the sniper rifle, he was going to make it look like he was the one, hopeful gretchen would be able to hit him before the cyborg figured out Altair wasn't the one shooting. Altair decided to take the bike, he would get there and back faster then with any other veichiles he slipped on his googles and bandana and started the bike, he took off down the largest hallway and came speeding out of the ship heading towords where the cyborg was.He stopped a few feet from the cyborg and examined the skeletal looking figure up and down before slidding his bandana down "Nice body...havn't seen many cyborgs on this planet...an the ones I saw don't have as much missing...you need a place to stay for the night?" Altair asked.

Seraph re-attached his arms, and placed the scimitars back in their proper sheaths before getting a small mouthful of water. After he wiped his mouth clean, he looked to the man who offered a place for the night. "Well, there are 3 things i'll need for a place to stay. It can't have a floor of sand, it can't have someone trying to shoot me, and it can't have less then 4 women available around the clock." He joked as he tried to get some of the sand off his leg gears.

Amillia walked over a dune. thanking whoever that it was night. She didn't get cold easily and had used that as an advantage to travel at night instead of during the day when the sun made her drowsy. She saw a small lake and the movement near it. She reached around her back and pulled the scope off of Rif "What are you doing? what's going on?" His voise was metallic and grated on her nerves. "Shut it tin can, there's someone up there." She used the scope and watched Altair and Seraph talk.

Seraph just made a small grin as Altair asked if he was joking. "You kidding me? With a body like this," he said as he revealed his entire mechanical body,"I doubt i'm going to see any action ever again." He told him. However, he didn't like to be called names, and he instincively reached for his scimitar. "I'd prefer it if you didn't call me that. I didn't want to be like this overnight."
