Activity

Klein listened to the introductions, waiting his turn. As the group gathered close to the fire, he moved to the side, opening room. The action also gave him a greater view of the cave entrance, training etched into him. Klein looked at the flames through his Plexiglas visor and smiled to himself. While he had started it and feed it, he did not need it.

His suit was insulated for the vacuum of space so he would not freeze or burn easily. The composite armor would block most small arms and if punctured, condensed foam would fill the gap and plug the wound. It wasn’t pleasant but it kept him alive. Klein had a scar above his hip from such an injury. His sitting at the campfire was more of a pleasantry than a need. He could take off his armor but taking it off for too long would be dangerous. The myriad of changes only proved that he had to be ready at a moments notice.

As Klein waited his turn, he gathered intel. Basil seemed to be from the same place as Misu. Lorcan opened up, confirming Klein’s guess he was an assassin. Aydin, another newcomer, seemed introverted remaining quite and out of the group.

When his opportunity appeared, Klein took of his helmet and proceeded with his greeting.

“My name’s Klein. Its been a long day and tomorrow will be longer.” Pulling the hood of his jumpsuit up, he tightened the pull string. “Wake me when its my turn on watch. If something happens, a high pitch scream should do.”

Lying down, Klein put the helmet under his head and closed his eyes. Dreamless sleep set in.
