Emmy ignored her executive officer for a moment, her gaze focused on her own tricorder that had been flipped out in front of her as soon as they materialized at the position. She gnawed on her lip for a moment in an uncharacteristic display and then glanced up toward the ruins in the distance. “Proceed to the ruins,” she instructed the team, but she did make a mental note to return to examine the area around them if there was time after they completed their catalogue.

(OOC: Just a quick note that some behind-the-scenes command stuff resulted in a slight retconned changed to our away team. Instead of Mason’s character on the away team, Chris’s character will be on the away team. Otherwise, carry on :). )
Eric nodded, before leading the team towards the ruins. He kept his tricorder open in his left hand, but down so he could listen to it’s beeping while still paying attention the area around them. He looked back to see everyone was following, before paying attention again to the route.

M’rahja couldn’t see the little animals that scurried about in the safety of the jungle flora, but she could hear them well enough. That they stayed hiding was just fine with her. Sometimes it was the smallest creatures that were the most deadly. Upon the order to investigate the ruins, she took up position at the rear of their party, trusting her acute senses to warn her of impending danger.
In the quiet moments between now and their destination, she wondered what kind of writings or images they’ll find within. The art of a lost people and the history and culture they left to impart upon the future.

Unsqueezing her eyes, Cadet Las briefly became overcome with excitement. Her mouth dropped upon sight of the foreign environment. Wow wow whoa I’m late!” Throwing all the equipment she held into a satchel bag, Cadet Las followed the fresh foot prints headed for what looked like ancient ruins.

Stan noted the presence of a variety of small animals on his tricorder scans, and looked carefully around his surroundings. Looking way up to the tree tops, and down to the ground. He couldn’t see any of them. He wondered if they might be avoiding the away team because their species had previously had encounters with the humanoids that used to inhabit the ruins. Or maybe they are just scared of anything that’s bigger than them…
He heard the Captain’s order to continue to the ruins and was happy to return his focus there. A zoology survey on this moon might be interesting, but an archaeological mission was more exciting to Stan, and that also happened to be the assignment they were on. He eagerly continued towards the ruins, being careful to keep his tricorder up so he could see both its screen and the ruins themselves.

OOC (Out of Character): To add to Dan’s comment about our retcon, this is something that you’ll see pretty frequently here on the Challenger, but not as much on our main fleet ships. Here on the Challenger, we have new members joining and people graduating fairly consistently, so sometimes our away team make-ups have to be… fluid. :)
IC (In Character):
The excitable responses of the cadets was lost on Emmy as she began to head toward the ruins, her tricorder pointed directly in front of her, searching for signs of activity beyond the animal life that was abundant. As she strode there, at a remarkably efficient pace for someone of her size, she instructed, “Cadet Ko, you will provide security if needed, monitor for any life signs that could pose a threat to the away team. Cadet Wisniewski and Cadet Las, when we arrive at the ruins, begin a methodical survey of the area.”
