Sapphire stands in a carefully cleared field, there's a rope fence surrounding the area her team is gathered in. It looks like all the equipment is accounted for, two fuel cell cars fitted for all terrain travel, a package of starting supplies for Emily to build with, four drones for scouting, the machinery necessary for refueling the cars, biological sampling kits, and of course camping supplies and food for a several week long expedition. Above them is the sparking orb of Charlie's Observatory as he works to determine their next destination. On that thought, "How are we doing Charlie?"
"I've got a connection to a new shard, seems like it'll be safe and viable as far as I can tell."
"Sounds good! Here's to another successful expedition." She raises her voice. "Everyone final checks, make sure all your equipment is good to go and that your suit is sealed and your filters are in the green." Putting words to actions she pulls her own helmet off her hip and fits it to the neck of her suit. Then she checks the HUD and sees all green.
