Not bothering to argue, he followed behind her as he held onto his knife; letting the waves carry him in as he carefully moved over the coral. Stepping onto the sand, he crawled onto the shore as he tossed his jacket aside before turning to her; "When I thought about vacationing on an island this wasn't my idea," laughing but he knew it was no laughing matter considering the Old Guard has effectively placed them somewhere they can be watched.

Following him on shore, she too took off her jacket but unlike him started moving around right away as she started gathering drift wood for a fire to last through the night. Carefully lying it out, she smirked to Jack's comment as she tossed him a straight stick; "Well since we're here, its your turn to hunt while I setup shelter and a fire," grinning as she stabbed her knife into the ground knowing it would take a while for her to even start this fire.

Shaking his head, he pulled off his boots as he started to use the string to tie the knife to the stick; he could remember his survival training and even more how much he hated it. Pulling off his shirt, he started across the beach and back into the water with his make shift spear in hand; swimming toward the coral before diving down. He had no idea what to expect considering the planet is nicknamed Purgatory, but he soon realized that whatever he gets may be big so the expectations are big.
Diving down again, he soon spotted a massive lobster as he stabbed his spear into him before pulling up the 3 foot long beast; tossing it on shore as he stabbed it once more to ensure its dead. Carving around it to get the tail, he tossed the body back out before starting out once more to get another one; knowing food won't be an issue out here.

* Deep in the brush, a woman watches two strangers on the beach. The female beginning the fire as the male fishes for what appears to be lobster.* I wonder who sent these two... she whispers to herself as she finds a better spot to watch them until the right moment for her attack.

Starting up the fire, she grabbed her knife as she sawed down bamboo to make shelter that would allow them to survive though the night before making improvements in the morning. Sliding the blade back into its shife, she knew they would have to find a way back to the main land after all if there was a way off then the main land had the answer. Hearing something briefly, she knew they weren‘t alone on this island which then again they were never truly alone since the crash landing.

Tossing the next dead lobster on shore, he noticed Rebecca signaling him to circle around; dipping below the waves as he did so. Taking his knife off of the spear, he stormed up the beach only to duck into the treeline as he stayed calm while passing through the tiny camp but knew whom ever it was would have the advantage but then again so would he. Speaking softly, he kept his knife in hand and carefully stepped across the ground, “We won`t hurt you, we`re Terrans and we`re looking only to survive till our people can rescue us.”

She backs away from the brushes, Don't come any closer. Please. Softly speaking as she moves away from them slowly, but making her way into the clear beach. With her hands at her side with her palms up, no need for weapons. Mine were lost in the crash however long ago.

Placing his knife back in the shife, he lowered it as he ordered Rebecca to do the same; “Crashed here you say...may I ask how recently,” he knew if she was willing to help then just maybe there was a real hope for this lost colony, “we too crashed and were briefly captured only to be marooned here.”
He didn`t want to give too much away considering at least for now, “My name is Jack, I`m part of the Terran military and don`t have a rank.”

Her eyes narrow, Marooned? Meaning the Old Guard found you? She eases up and sits down on the rocks, Jack is it? I am Zoe... Still very nervous of the two she has stumbled upon, Zoe tightens her arms around herself.

Putting her knife away, she kept her hands behind her back; "Yes, they actually overpowered us but we managed to get a signal to our friends so hopefully this won't happen to them as well," clearing her throat as she followed by example, "I'm Rebecca Black also part of the Terran Military and currently hold rank of Lieutenant."

Are you two going home to Terra? I would like to return home if it still stands. She turns her attention to the woman, Nice to meet you Rebecca... hopefully your friends can get us off the planet. I ran out of food when I stumbled upon you two on the beach.

Turning to her as he nodded, "Sure if we find a way off of the planet but at this point all we can do is wait," walking over to lobster as he dragged it over next to the fire, "your probably lucky as hell considering your surrounded by food and got some of the best hunters of Terra with you."
Slicing up sections of the lobster as he placed it on a rack above the fire, "I suppose tomorrow I'll start working on a platform or something it would extend where we could fish and would get us out of the sand."

There is a sand bar just a few feet out there, if you like fishing. Zoe, still a bit nervous, sits next to the fire and begins to warm her hands. Glad to hear it. I can hunt and fish but not very well. She smirks at herself.

Pulling off his boots, he pulled out the strings as he set his boots aside; "Maybe tomorrow we can test your fishing but figured I might as well work on a bow," pulling out his knife as he sliced the tips off while stripping the cotton off of the string, "the upper atmosphere is charged with EM which would cut out most of your systems but still puzzled on how they created flying machines to work with it considering we flew in with a ship shielded against EM yet we still hit the ground like a rock."

Lying down some coconut leaves, she placed the lobster down onto a platform as she took a bite; "Better than the 300 credit stuff on Terra," placing the other tail on the fire, "well while you two fish figured I'd start working on a raft but when we came in its going to be tough getting past the breakers and even more onto the main land undetected."
