A few clicks south of landing site
Mac ran off towards her tent to get her daypack ready. She tossed in a canteen, some extra ammo, and a change of c;othes, just in case. She also grabbed the book she was reading, and her reading glasses. She hated wearing them; they made her feel old, but she wasn't supposed to be in the field without them. SHe was a lawyer, after all, and was expected to actually DO things.
She heard Aear's voice over the radio.
Yokai, landing nows.... She nodded to the other two. They began to move in the general direction of "forward".
Aear spoke again.
"Ne, how exactly are you guys getting over here? I did just fly for two minutes at 300 metres a second... So I have to at least say 15 maybe 20 kilometres away by nows. I mean you guys can't fly or transfer over here right? We're talking half a days walk right? Mac stopped and did some quick math. She could, currently, run three miles in 28 minutes. So...that meant, what? 4 ish kilometers, plus ten more...Yeah, a good couple of hours. It had been AWHILE since OCS for her, so she probably couldn't run like that anymore. Damned old age. She looked to Koren. Time to regroup.
Ok, Charter. Use some magic and transport us?! Can't we use the Gate technology? Where is that redhead when you need her? Telion...what is your read? She needed a second opinion. Maybe she was going crazy. The air on this planet must be thinner than Earth's. Did she really just ask a Cat Man to do magic? She didn't believe in magic. On the other hand, she was a litle stuck.
Hang on i'm gonna put a temp beacon here, broadcast your location for me. Mac raised her radio.
1 mile from camp... Just a moment later, Aear appeared in front of them.
Now we have shortcut.She nodded, and then let out a breath. Well, if she WERE losing her mind, she might as well enjoy it. She nodded.
Let's go, Gentlemen. Aear? She waited for Aear to do whatever, and then closed her eyes. She opened them, and looked around. Sure enough, they'd been transported.
She gazed ahead at the ruins. Sure enough, something looked a little out of place. She moved her head towards the monuments.
Who's up for a scouting mission? All of us! Great. Let's go. She trudged forward, getting out her tablet to take photos. That archeologist guy was going to pee himself with this.
