As the men came with the tables, hauling them on the ground vehicles, James pointed to the tree closest to the ship with the low branches.  "Just set the tables up there," he said as he grabbed his bag. As he sat up his lab, he put a camera around his neck so he could take pictures.  After he was done setting his workstation up, he went back over to Alice.  "Hey, you're just as knowledgeable as your sister, if not more so.  Think you might wanna help me with some medical consults until Jane gets adjusted?  You know, just in case we find anything medicinal."<i>And because I want to be close to you as much as possible</i>, he thought to himself.  "I was also thinking...if you no one has asked you yet, if you'd mind sharing a tent with me?"  He then blushed a little.  "Just for safety reasons, I swear.  As excited as I am to be here, I still don't want to risk sleeping alone until a solid perimeter is established."
