[By now it's clear that the attackers have fled the scene, scattering in several directions of the Dead Zone. All is safe, and at least the giraffes have stopped running in panicked circles.

The attackers certainly left their mark, leaving behind a trail of destruction that can be traced back to the site of the monolith's crash. Smoke still billows out as the fires die out, but there seems to be no sign of life among the debris.

What is that thing? You now know that whatever it is, it's responsible for bringing those creatures to Terre Haute. While the giraffes return to their "normal" lives and others begin to pack up for travel, there may not be another chance to explore the crash site. If you want to explore it, now's the time.]

[ at this point, they're probably trading off on watching out for each other. ashley has a gun in one hand, ready in case she needs it because like hell will she be caught off-guard again, and she's ready for anything at this point. she's not entirely sure who convinced who to go exploring, but now they're both out there and she's following james. she's got his back, feeling better taking up the rear as they move onward. ]

Lead on, fearless explorer.

[ she's slightly more jumpy at this point, a little on edge and wary after being suddenly attacked by what looked like mutant bugs. ]

[ Anne is happy that people are still feeling bold enough to explore, despite the recent battle and being surrounded by dead bodies. Anne just gets through it by...not looking down too often.

When she sees two of the expeditioners start to head in, Anne can't help but say something before they do. Even if she has seen women fight since arriving here... ]

There could be more inside. It is not safe for only two... Should you not at least attempt to bring a third? Else, you could find the other party that has entered and band together.

[He grins slightly at Ashley before he turns to Anne, a bit of respect there in his eyes. Oh this is well, this is interesting isn't it?]

I tend to work better with those I know well, Your Majesty, and Ashley and I have quite a bit of experience dealing with such things.

[ okay the woman gets a cursory glance and a frown because seriously, they're fine. and then james gets a startled look. "your majesty?" really? ]

We're fine.

[ yeah he's getting questions fired at him after this. ]

[ Well look at her, Ashley, it's not like she's walking around in jeans and a t-shirt! Granted, she's not donning a crown or anything, but her hair is ornately braided back, with ribbons weaved in, and her riding outfit is heavy with rich embroidery.

There's some bug goo on her skirt, but Anne chooses not to acknowledge that. She just looks to Ashley with another curious look, spotting the gun. Kalinda uses those small sort of guns, and she's rather capable, but Anne hasn't seen this one in action.

She looks back to James to speak, anyway, since he's the man and in charge. ]

Such things? How could anyone be accustomed to this nature of an assault? ...Do you swear, then, that you believe you are fully capable? That she will have no trouble? Will you use your journal to report back, so that we may know the secrets of this...this ship?
