Crete: Some Time In Seclusion (//Corsairs by invite or request only)

[Doc Holliday]

He laid still in his bed, staring at the ceiling of his new dwelling. He knew he had slept longer than usual but he felt refreshed. Sitting up, he went into his food supplies and set up a percolator for some fresh coffee. Sliding into a pair of slippers, he went out the front door as he fastened his gun belt about his waist, a side arm on either side of him. He then stretched and took in a deep breath of morning air.

It was a bit warm but not unpleasant. Seeing the remains of a fire pit in front of the cabin, he smirked. "Time to make breakfast the old fashioned way," he stated.
Unlocking his shuttle, he went into the refrigeration unit to get some fresh eggs and a side of bacon. He returned to the cabin to mix the eggs in a cast iron pan and put the whole thing on the campfire now burning in the fire pit. He watched over it on a tree stump next to the fire as he nursed a cup of coffee fresh from the pot.

He looked around....all around....admiring the site he picked to work. For all of the doom he heard of Crete, he found a place that it hadn't found. A slight breeze filled the air and a fish jumped in the nearby pond. He turned his eggs and bacon and sipped his coffee and stood again to stretch. Finally, breakfast was cooked and he made quick work of it if out of habit for no other reason.

After a quick clean up, Doc began to set up for his reason of being on Crete. Despite the pleasure he found, he had business and disappointing the Elders wasn't one of those things. He set up a portable weather station to measure winds, temperature and barometer. He would later that day set up another further away at a remote location with a transmitter to make comparison. The would be linked through both the shuttle and a portable com.
While geology wasn't a strength of his, he took samples of surrounding items. Soil, water, vegetation and even one from a dead animal. He hoped that it would shed some light on the environment of Crete.

He may have found himself alone for the time being but he made good use of his time.
