Mel moved over to Haven and shifted the bag of supplies on her shoulder. “Zoi, I’m your Science person. I do need to do a bunch of data collection for the area, and going off on my own would be bad, so want to come with?” she asked. “Once I get the lay of the land, quite literally, we can request more equipment and liaise back with the ship.”

Zoi, upon seeing that the idea of looking for a suitable ground for the hospital was nixed, wondered what else she could do to occupy her time. Should she go with the group and just keep her eye out or should she stay here? Thankfully, she was saved by the former Captain. She smiled warmly. “Yes, I believe that would be an excellent idea.”

She sent a message to Rico to let him know what she was doing and then turned to Mel. “Where would you like to start?” and she gestured in a way that indicated Mel could lead and she would follow.

Looking around, Mel gestured to beyond the camp a bit. “I want to do the perimeter and then check out slightly beyond to see what’s there.” It was highly unlikely anything predatory would be hanging out along the fringes of the encampment, and they’s both sense anything living that tried to sneak up on them.

Zoi nodded, marking her destination in her next message to Rico before she started out. “Alright Mel. Let’s get started. Just let me know if you need me to change direction or give you some extra time.” She kept her tricorder in her other hand to scan the area around them. Her hand remained on her weapon, but she didn’t anticipate using it. Mel thought rightly about them likely sensing any serious danger, though for Zoi it would be likely to be a more nebulous feeling.

Flipping open her tricorder, Mel looked around first and then veered off to the west towards the river so they could start scanning the perimeter. Inhaling deeply, Mel smiled. “It feels good to get off the ship. Been a very long time since I’ve been on an away mission as well. I don’t count being planet side for my leave as being the same.”

She followed the woman without preamble, towards the river, eyes alternating between the area around them and the readings on her tricorder. Years of experience had given her the ability to glance at the tricorder and know what was on it quickly so that most of her time would be able to be spent keeping those she was with safe. “I have to agree. I think I really needed an away mission. Sometimes, it is nice to get away from the monotony that occurs while on board a vessel like this one. Being on an away mission gives fresh air, new sights, new smells, new people. Being on Leave is fine. I do enjoy taking time away, but that feels different. I like feeling useful and leave is about being… not useful.”
