Arron smiles at Skye "Yes it got dark quick out, the planet my spin faster, we will see"
He takes a recording devices and padd "I'll recored everything I can" he turns on his record
He looks around "This is true but I think its going to spring, to many babies they most likely never last the winter, but just right to Winnie into spring"
I have also set up monitors to capture the night prowlers. I have left out some treats which are natural to this world to find out which would be more likely to scavenge at our settlements.
Arron listened to Skye as she did her thing, he was starting to make some dinner, combining several MRE's into a stew, when she came closer to fire again, "Dinner is almost done" he let her know

"Thank ya, it smells good. Soon we'll need to be quiet as the night creatures come out. They tend to be more wary of unfamiliar noises. And the fire must be kept lit all night until we know what we are dealing with."
"I've started my reports, and I was wondering if any of ya had a preference. I know I do. But, I'll not be sharing since I dun want to influence anyone." She took a bite of the food offered to her.
"Aye, this taste good. I canna wait to finish up and get back so we can begin the settlement plans."

Troy was already on the quiet side as he had been catnapping since Skye, himself and Arron got to their camping site. He was exhausted, since he had been on the move all day, 1 escorting Skye and her impromtu hike and now, as he joined her and Arron in camping out beyond the shuttle
When Arron said soup was on he woke up and took a bowl, eyeing him wearily when he said it's not gizzard greens and grit gravy. Thank goodness "Thanks for the soup" he said
He listened as Skye mentioned she got a report started and if he or Arron had any preferances. His mind a little foggy, he asked "preferances to what?"
He gave a nod to Skye "Yeah, I can't wait to get back either. I need to scout around and see where I want to start building some roads and places people can travel in, or stop off and rest while they're transferring to go to other places. Plus, I miss Sara's beautiful face." He said with a smirk
Looking at the fire, he commented. "I just hope none of the critters out there are attracted to fire.."

His brain kikcked about what preferance skye was refering too "Oh yeah. Yeah, I got a favoite site picked out" he said smiling at her
He took a bite of soup and found it surprisingly good "Good soup" he told Arron "and let's hope we don't run into the "not many" critters that would like fire."

"Anything?" Hitomi inquired of Raven as he looked over the readout from the hovering holocam that was following the intrepid band of explorers out to their overnight campsight. She peeked over his shoulder a bit at it's grainy image as the nighttime display took over. "I do hope they will be alright out there"

She sat on the ground, in front of the fire feeling its warmth, and the friendship of those with her. Her mind wandered to the new turn her life was taking, and of the holidays back home. This was the first time she would not be home, and it was only the beginning of the rest of the holidays she would not spend there.
She smiled and sighed then got her padd and began to enter her observations thus far. The sun had completely set and darkness had enveloped them. The darkness seemed to be more intense, more encompassing then back home. But there no lights to begin to fade the stars above them.
The sounds of the night creatures began to fill the air as the day creatures closed their eyes. She listened for any sounds of them approaching the campsite. She reached into her backpack and took out night vision glasses moving to the edge of the camp site she started her observations. Sky knew there would be a few creatures here that were not at the other sites and she hoped to see them.

He sat looking into the fire, as he tries to remember the holidays on earth. Earth a place he hasn't been seen he was 15, and the last Holiday he spent their he was 14.
Darkness comes, when he noticed the dark he looked up at the sky and smiled he always loved the night each planet was different but some how the same when it came to night time
He shifted his eyes when Skye got in her backpack then moved to the edge of the camp site, He followed not getting close enough to disrupt her, but close enough should something come from the dark he could help her

She set up the recording device next to her hopefully catching the sounds and sights of the nightlife as she jokily referred to it. To her left she heard an odd noise, a mix between a laugh and screech. Both the laugh and screech was animistic but there was no other way to describe it. With the noise was rustling in the bushes just outside of the fire line of the campsite.
A little later overhead she heard a noise similar to the beating of wings. It was a soundless flight by the creature that took to the air. Her left arm began to itch and she knew she was bitten by some sort of insect.
Skye looked up to the stars that filled the sky above her. And then she yawned. Looking at Arron. "I think I'll get sleep for a couple of hours." She moved closer to the fire and quickly went to sleep after setting the old fashioned time piece her grandfather gave her when she left to come here.

A sudden noise woke her, it was a high pitch roar followed by the panicked cry of another animal. Not far from where she had moved in her sleep the animals ran past. Skye laid still until she was sure they ran past her. Then very carefully she crawled on her stomach back to the protective edge of the fire.
As a child she would walk in her sleep, as she grew older the episodes of sleep walking decreased. So that as an adult they hardly occurred. However, it would seem one did tonight.
She sat there with her legs drawn up and holding them just below the knees, placing her chin on the knees she quieted herself.

After dinner, he say back, feeling a little less tired. He noticed Skye digging into her backpack again and then moved out towards the outer perimeter of the fire, with Arron following her "Now you two don't wander off too far" he commented to them, hearing the local wildlife get a little more vocal and seemingly closer. He made sre his phaser was at his side when he, Skye and Arron decided to sleep
A sudden noise jarred him away and he had his phaser in his hand before he knew it was there. His eyes scanned the perimeter to see what maybe attacking or that had wondered too close
First thing he noticed was Skye not where she was when she went to sleep. Very carefully he set out to find her, creeping low to the ground. He must have went in the right direction cause he found her a couple minutes later, sitting with her knees drawn up and her chin on them. He approached her cautiously and whispered "Are you ok, Skye?"

He watched and help when Skye needed it, after she set everything up, a little later he heard a noise similar to the beating of wings. It was a soundless flight by the creature that took to the air. He then saw she lifted her arm began to itch.
When Skye went back to the fire he followed sitting by the fire he soon feel a sleep. He was suddenly awaken by a noise sleeping light was something he was use to do having been setting up colonies sense he was 16.
He saw Skye crawling on her stomach back to the protective edge of the fire were she set with her legs drawn up and holding them just below the knees, placing her chin on the knees.
He saw Troy approached her and whispered "Are you OK, Skye?" Taking a a branch from the fire he moves over to her and holds it so the light shines more on her.
"Please don't do that again" he says as he checks her over "You should not go off alone, You OK?" he asks as he places a hand on her shoulder still holding the torch, he was glad he saw no damage done to her.

"Ach, I'm fine. I must have been sleep walking. I woke not far from here, curled up and 2 creatures were running past. One was looking fur its dinner the other was running not to become dinner. It scared me is all. I haven't slept walked in a long time."
"I'll ya this from what I saw the predator was medium sized, very lanky almost skinny, it either hasn't eaten for a long time or its the natural shape of its body. Its eyes glowed a bit, and its teeth were sharp thats for sure."
"The other woke me as its paw brushed my head. It was larger then the hunter, with more padding. Would make a fine dinner for large family."
"I think I'll make us all some coffee since day brake canna be from away." she moved closer to the fire to make the coffee.

He listens to Skye explained what happen, then said she make some coffee morning was coming.
He looked up at the dark sky which was lighter now but still dark "Coffee be good, I say two to two and half hours till dawn"
He then looks at Skye and laughs "Next time I'll tie you down"
