"Can't see much from this height, we need to get lower. I can see if someone's sneaking up on us, but that's about it." He said, looking about "Gonzo turn up anything?"

"Not yet. He sent a signal a moment ago, but I'd rather him return here than for us to hike up there, and leave the ship unprotected. I'll go send him a flare, cause our comms are worth shit I'm during this storm." Render snatches a flare from his utility pack, and walks out of the hold with it. He then proceeds to throw it atop the Pelican, where the neon light shines like a miniature sun through the snow. As he did so, he called out to you. "Really wish that we had one of those squids with us. The Engineers! We'd be set to leave already if we had one."

"that or we'd explode." He said, shrugging

"Still, I kinda felt bad for them They just wanted to fix things. Wish that we could've saved some." He gets a brief burst of static on the radio, and after checking its frequency, stands up and walks a little bit up a nearby hill, squinting at the top of the mountain. "That's Gonzo. His comms are fried, but I still get static when he tries to transmit data. Just keep yourself occupied for a sec Smith, I'll go check this out."
