Nature walk, ha. Akaya actually enjoys exploring new planets, though it’s usually from the vantage point of his cockpit. Trudging along terrain by foot feels much less informative, slower. Still, it’s what they’re tasked with, and he intends to come back with the best possible data so they can complete their mission and get off this rock in one piece. The painkiller is working well, thank you Dr. Yagyuu. He doesn’t mind pain, but it can be a distraction when it’s too intense.

Akaya straps his kit around his waist and pulls out his tricorder, which doubles as a flashlight. He orients himself and heads south, per orders.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get us off this planet soon so no one will be deprived of your witty repartee for too long,” he says with a smirk as he heads into the woods.
