( closed ) lost research

[winscenario]

who: Jim Kirk, Leonard McCoy, Peggy Carter, Re-L Mayer, Shai Ebbisaryn, Sans, Dick Grayson, Scott Lang, Yuuri Katsuki, Victor Nikiforov
what: a rescue mission
when: from May 15th through to the end of the month
where: abandoned area, along the river, the delta and the waterfalls; between the first and second walls
warnings: monster attacks, probably some injuries/blood, don't expect anything more than that; add any needed warnings on your own threads as needed, please!


Despite the risks, most of the journey was a fairly quiet one. A lot of hours walking, making their way along the riverside, trekking through the woods and across small clearings. When the sun set they'd set up camp somewhere, and as soon as it rose they got back to their feet and out towards the Delta underneath the waterfalls.

Jim made sure they had all they needed; maps, compasses, whatever devices that could help them navigate the terrain. As far as supplies went, they had plenty of covers and extra clothes to make sure they didn't suffer through the colder nights, but there were no luxuries out here. If it rained, they'd be mostly unprotected, and they could only shower and wash their clothes so long as they had the time and access to the stream of the river. There was plenty of food, hopefully enough to last them the round trip, but they also had a myriad of tools and weaponry needed for any hunting and scavenging so they didn't always have to consume from the food they'd brought along for the trip.

The creatures living out here were another concern, and on a journey this long, they were bound to run into something sooner or later. They should be packing enough weaponry to keep the team safe and everyone in one piece, though.

Hopefully, it would be worth it. Jim didn't even care if they didn't get their hands on any of that research— all he cared about was that there were people possibly lost and in danger out there, and he wanted to try and save them.

[Though part of him's worried about how Viktor's faring with the other group, Yuuri keeps his wits about him, keeping his steps careful as they pick their way through the slippery grassy area.]

The scientists must've had equipment with them. Do you think if we'd be able to pick any signals up once we're in range?

[Even after all this traveling, he's only slightly winded. It's not the first time Yuuri's been thankful for the grueling training schedule he puts himself through. Though he isn't as capable in combat, he's not lagging behind the main group, at least.]

[mannerism]

I'll leave the technical side to you boys.

[ boys, she calls them but with a hidden sort of cheer. Most women she knows would have hated the mosquitoes and the mud and the long hours of doing nothing but a steady hike to their destination.

Peggy Carter has spent nights on just about every muddy slope in Europe. She remembers Russia all too well. If the ground isn't freezing and there isn't a chance of dying in your sleep, she reserves the right to be optimistic. ]

Personally, I wouldn't mind finding a good tree to climb. Might be easier if we got a good look of the view.

[winscenario]

[ Jim raises a brow at Peggy's answer, particularly her perky tone. Well, at least someone is enjoying themselves. ]

It's possible. We can give it a try, at the very least. Just need to tune the scanner to pick up those signals.

[ He gets to working on that, leaving Yuuri and Peggy to lead the way while he does that. Been pretty peaceful out here for a while, so he doesn't expect a wild animal to jump out at them by now. ]

I'm not sure you'll find anything tall enough out here, but if you do, we'll keep an eye out for any danger.

[yokunaru]

Oh! [Keep an eye out for danger...right. Yuuri jolts like he's just reminded of something, and begins to turn his head this way and that, like he's looking for something. Or someone.]

Hyousuke. [He calls out softly, with a frown. Even though he's expecting it, Yuuri still jumps a little when the sword-like pokemon appears out of nowhere.] Ah, can you help us keep an eye out for danger?

Please. [He adds, when the pokemon floats silently, apparently considering it. A second later, Hyousuke zooms away into the air to (hopefully) serve as an extra pair of eyes. Yuuri sighs in relief.]

[mannerism]

-- I will never get used to this thing.

[ the pokemon. it's just not the sort of thing peggy carter can compute that easily. she watches the creature flies away with a bit of a skeptical look. ]

Does it make any sounds at all? how would it alert us?

[ it's so weird. so weird. ]

[winscenario]

[ It's definitely weird. And this coming from a guy who's used to all kinds of strange new creatures from all sorts of unique worlds out there across the galaxy.

But he also knows how to adapt and to accept new and unique lifeforms, so. He'll get used to it. ]

Pop out of nowhere again, I'm guessing. [ Although some kind of alarm heard across the distance would be useful in an emergency, too. ]
