a. campfire
The hike through the jungle has been a tough, but invigorating one. Beverly feels a little less off-kilter out here. Exploring a strange new world is, ironically, familiar territory to her. Besides, she's always loved camping: sleeping out under the stars, the glow of the fire, insects chirping in the distance, all of it. And while she isn’t exactly a spiritual woman, something about it makes her feel a little bit closer to Wesley and Jack both. With them in mind, she smiles softly as she crushes a dead leaf in her hand and tosses it into the edge of the fire pit to watch it crackle. Wesley used to love to do that, much to the annoyance of his father.

Except now that memory is mixed with another, of revelations by the fireside with Jean-Luc. Preferring not to have to think about that, she picks up a stick and pokes at the fire, then says to her companions, “Too bad we don’t have any marshmallows.”


b. cave entrance
Sigh. Of course it had to be caves. Caves are never a good sign. Especially when you have to rappel down a dark, seemingly bottomless pit to get into them. Not that actually seeing how high up they are would really settle that uneasiness in her stomach. But as always, she does her best to ignore that feeling and most importantly, not let it show to anyone else. The only sign of nervousness is in the way she swallows as she hooks up her carabiner.


c. medical care
Look, it’s only inevitable that someone will need medical attention in the course of this journey. Possibly multiple someones. Possibly Beverly herself, in which case she will be trying very stubbornly to wave you off and take care of herself because it’s just a scratch (the monster wasn’t that big and besides it’s gone now).

Anyway, if someone in the party has gotten hurt, Beverly’s right there with her medkit and tricorder, patching them up with a firm yet gentle hand and calming voice.


d. wildcard

Be it monster fighting or shuttle flying, Beverly's ready!
