The group watched as everything fell apart. The ventilation shaft self collapsed. They were in the middle of nowhere. Dave opened his HoloComm accessing the Cerberus Network for details about their local geographic position.
Dave : Bad news, bad news... we are at 2 days from the landing pads and because of this side of the planet we are on, the Quantum Communicator can't be linked up, we need to change our position with almost 30 degrees to North. Thing is the nights in here are dangerous and crawling with wild animals, like you've never seen before. They look similar to the ancient Earth "Lynx", mythological creatures, very powerful and deadly. We don't have enough supplies to make up a camp, we could use the environment but ... I don't have any knowledge about it's terrain. One thing is clear we need to head North - North West to reach the compound's landing pads. But let's hope in the mean time the "help" I called will arrive and eventually find us before dark. If not... it will be a rough night.
While talking Jack got his Geo-magnetic compass. He delivered it to Dave and put a friendly smile.
Jack : I think this should help you more. With it you can establish a nice location for our night-time camp.
Dave : Erhh... right. Let's proceed. No time to rest now.

Jeremy responded by removing his jacket and shirt.
From the base of his neck staright downwards through his chest to his waist,was a huge,scar, about two inchies,wide. Turning around, Jeremy showed a corresponding on on his back.
Replacing his clothes, Jeremy shook his head. "I was impaled by a sword, fell ten stories, and lived. Your gun doesnt scare me. On the contrary. You should be afraid"
The gun was battered aside by and unseen force, then Jeremy seemed to fly, launching a kick into Cooper's chest, causing him to fly,back. Oblivion appeared in his hand. The tip opened.
"The shaft of this carries a scaled-down BLUE BLAZE codename. Though useless against ships, it can leave a nice gapping hole on people." Jeremy pointed it at Cooper. "So. Ya feelin' lucky, punk?"
"Ok, how the hell does anyone know about the necklace?" Jeremy stood. "Buddy, you just made your worst mistake..." Jeremy looked to Izzy and Ellie. " Who is this clown?"
"Henry Cooper. Some merc." Izzy sighed. "Have an eclair."
Jeremy sighed. "Which way we going; Liberty or Bretonia?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? And call me a clown again and I'll cut your tongue out and make your wife sew it on your head as an eyepatch. I don't care if you went through the 9 circles of Hell, I'm still going to kick your ass, kid. And how the hell do you know my name? And, I'm not some merc. I'm the best merc out there. All the other merc ****ted their pants when they heard about this bounty.But, me? No, I know what's got to be done, because I've done it before. Most mercs just don't use their brains and let the weapons do the talking."

Joe took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air. He smelled nothing actually, he did thought he heard stuff. Animal noises, stalking them, lurking from within the woods. Maybe it was just his imagination...
It was slowly getting dark, dusk set in. You could notice that the planet was alive, several bird-like creatures flew over their heads. Joe liked the fact that they were outside again, but he did not like this, at all.... He checked the ammo on his gun and saw that it only had around 50 rounds left and it was getting heavier. He dropped the gun.
Joe : I'm not going to carry that weight around any longer *he chuckled* Erik, would you mind giving me one of your several shotguns?
He looked at the different stars in the sky. His sense of direction pulled him quite close to the North.
Joe catched the shotgun and reloaded it with some shells. He then looked at Erik picking up the Machinegun.
Joe : Erik, it only has 50 rounds in it, if you press that trigger once you'll fire 10 already. Besides, that thing weighs 25 kilograms, just drop it. You should use a knife, hehe.
