( closed ) lost research
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.

He smiles, glancing at her only for a moment before looking out to the rain falling just outside the barrier. ]
Not sure I'd want the chance. I'm the product of my own experiences, good and bad alike. I don't know if I'd want any of them changed. [ Huffing a soft chuckle. ] I know, that's probably a little silly of me.
no subject
It's not silly.
[She says that a bit chidingly. Her fingers straighten out her hair and she works it into a braid, something simple and efficient just to get it out of her face.]
Rare soul that can look at the circumstances of their life and own it. For good or ill.
[She's glad he didn't turn the question back on her. She's not sure she has an answer, and conjuring one would be an examination of her psyche altogether too close.]
no subject
They haven't done too bad, though. No one on the team has, which is even more impressive in some cases. ]
Figure that's the only way we can grow and change. For the better, I mean. Knowing yourself, recognizing the good and the bad, being able to look back to your own path and see the choices you made— the mistakes, too. Where you went wrong.
[ He doesn't turn the question on her exactly, but he does ask, ] Do you ever do that, sometimes?
no subject
There are a million ways she could answer, of course, but Jim's been honest enough with her that her pride dictates the same in return. She works her jaw off to one side, and then nods. It's a start.]
Reckon most folks do, in one capacity or other. I've had my share of misadventures, but there's no such thing as an experience you can't learn from. I try not to ruminate, though. Too much and you get lost in the mire.
[She absolutely ruminates. But she's not aware of quite how much she's prone to it, so the statement is honest as far as her own self perception goes.]
Harder to move forward when there's not much to occupy your time, though.
[A bit of a flickering, self-deprecatory smile. This place is far too quiet for her.]
no subject
But he also believes in the best of people. He always will. Always hopes for a galaxy that's better than he could ever hope to be.
He huffs a chuckle at the last remark, smiling back at her. ]
Used to a more exciting setting than this, I take it.
no subject
Makes it easy to cherry pick, in the long run. She doesn't even have to lie, just... engineer a certain vagueness that obscures the worst of what she doesn't want to say.]
Twenty-nine planets. That's an awful lot of peace to keep. [A bit of a laugh.] Can't remember the last time I had my boots on solid earth for more than a week straight.
no subject
He feels it would be that way with Shai, at least. But she chooses carefully what to share, and Jim would rather not pressure for more. In time, maybe, she'll open up more, little by little. ]
An awful lot of stuff to do too, I know. [ He nods. There are long stretches of space travel for him in-between, but any pitstop or longer stay at a planet or starbase does tend to come with a lot of excitement that he doesn't always feel here, with his feet permanently planted on the ground. ] Sounds like we both need to get our hands on a shuttle of some kind. Just to keep things interesting.
no subject
My kingdom for anything capable of space faring, darling. I'd be happy with just an hour.
[There's something to be said for the weightlessness you can achieve, the absence of sound and fury and fire. Space is comforting, in its cold, remote way. There's nothing quite like living with it a few inches away at all times.]
In any case, Jim. I won't keep you if you've got other folks to check up on. I'll hold down the fort well enough in my little corner of the world.
[She always enjoys his company, of course, but this isn't a mission on which socializing is paramount. She understands the way the chain of command works, what needs drive it. If he wants to duck out she wouldn't begrudge him that.]
no subject
[ He wouldn't even be that picky. He'd be happy enough with anything that got his feet off the ground. A shuttle or an airplane, anything at all, really. Base jumping doesn't count— even if he does enjoy that, too.
With a smile, Jim nods at her words. They are taking a break now, granted, but she's not wrong. He's got other things to check up on, people to talk to, and he wants to be sure everything's settled for the night, but that everyone's ready to respond in case of danger. Though he hopes nothing will happen. ]
I'm sure you will. I'll be back later, if you don't mind the company. [ He's not likely to get much sleep in any case, and they can talk and catch up a little more then. ]
no subject
Not the least.
[She's a solitary creature by nature, but she rarely eschews the company of people she likes just the same. She isn't sure she'd call him a friend just yet, but he's a comfortable presence to have nearby.]
Good luck with the others.
[It's an odd little bunch to wrangle. He's up to the task, she's sure, but luck never hurt anyone. The good sort, anyway.]
