Nettle smells the awful stench of fermenting fruit...and it is coming from somewhere else. A sense of victory overwhelms Silas.
Nettles shivered "There also sssomthing rotten close by...." He adjusted his mask to block more of the sent then it would normally.
Sheriff nodded at Glibber, spitting and stifling a cough. Motioning in the direction of the gunshot, he suggested, "How 'bout we take a peek over yonder?"
Glipper looks where Sheriff is pointing. "Sure thing.....just ignore any screams you may or may not hear hehehe." heads off in the direction indicated with rifle on shoulder.
Nettles looked over to Sheriff and said "what should Nettles do?" he didn't really know these people but he liked being useful.
Sheriff started suddenly, as if just noticing Silas for the first time. "Well Nettles ol' boy, ya think you can introduce yourself to these men over here?" Whistlin' over to Glibber, Sherrif extended his hand toward Silas. "Howdy partner. Name's Sheriff. Mind tellin' us what ya'll are doin' wanderin' around these parts?"
Snab decided that a high advantage point was in order and climbed up a tree and jumped to the roof of the ship. Once there he looked around to spot any lifeforms.
Jackson fell onto a piece of metal cut his ear. "Wish." He helped as he tried to regain balance. He then heard Silas call the group- and Jackson sat patiently while small trickles of blood engulfed his ear and waited for their reply.
He shakeds the Sunchild's hand. 'Hey Sher, I'm Silas. My crew dumped me here after they mutinied. Luckily this guy was here to pick me up.' He points over his shoulder at Hunter with his thumb. 'As far as I can tell his pod crashed here, dunno what these other people are here for. I tried to retrieve the coordinates of where they were headed, but sadly the files were damaged, irreparable.'
Jackson looked towards Sheriff. "I found some ruins and they were inside so I stuck around them for a little bit." And then he shrugged. "Now were back here."
Mikov continues wandering through the woods. After an hour, he reaches the clearing. He notices Silas and the other new people and waves. "Why hello there."
"Well, we're actually out here lookin' for a group of researchers that crash landed." Sheriff spat, coughed, and adjusted his rifle. "Though if ya ain't them, I'm sure we can get ya off-world anyways. You boys hear anything about the missing scientist folk?"
Mikov walks over to Sheriff. "Actually, I am one of those scientists." He extends his hand. "Mikov Gurrilla, at your service."
'They're all scattered about in this area, shouldn't be far off. Only two died. One was cremated, the other buried. You can retrieve the corpse if you like.'
