She smiled; he was so scared of this. Slipping between his body and the door was easy, as she was much smaller than he. Small warm hand graced the back of his, “Don’t be afraid David… it’s good for us.” Pushing down on his hand they opened the hatch together, her smiling up into his face, and the reflection of it in his sunglasses. Her own specs were of the modern variety and shielded her eyes from the rays. Clasping one of his large fingers she tugged him down the ramp.<br/><br/>“They said small breaths were best, and to remain calm…” She paused at his side. “I’m here and we will do this together… I won’t leave you.” She stepped out into the world, eyes going wide behind the dark lenses. She forgot about breathing or the burning sensation in her lungs until she heard someone cough. Sound came screaming back and she sucked in a small breath of air. It was so... fresh, new. She gagged and coughed her small frame doubling over there a few steps from the ramp. She didn’t worry about moving yet.<br/><br/>The breathing was the hardest to overcome, more so than walking, something she was easily able to do. Though to watch her she stumbled around like Frankenstein, a movie they had on disk in the ship. She stumbled around laughing and taking it all in. Colors were brighter and the sun, that big glowing ball. She dropped to her knees and smelled the grass, dirt, even a tiny flower, something she picked and stuck behind her ear immediately. As she did so her eyes caught Alice and she waved jubilantly, an action that spoke of ‘we did it’. Her lungs burned, a constant reminder of her fragility.<br/><br/>Her focus went back to David, but it was hard to focus, so much was happening. “Oh, OH David look… I think it’s a tree and another and another…” She giggled excitedly and at her foolishness mixed. Anything to take his mind off of breathing or walking. When he recovered she moved slowly over to James and the place he’d directed the men to set up the tables. She attempted to run though and it caused her body to feel more strain. Handing over the bag she forgot she had, her wide smile confirming her excitability of it all.<br/><br/>Nodding she set about her task. Green and red folders for the eatable things were stacked on one table along with the  blue folders for medicinal items, she knew it made more sense to keep all the usable things together for now and spread them out since there would be a lot of them. Opening the personal computing device she set up a database. Some items were known so this would allow them the names of the things. She made labels and stuck them to the table followed by a stack of folders in each color mentioned. Flammable, toxic and uneatable on the other table.  She turned to David, “I will make sure you see the results on what is eatable, I will sketch them up later with other items so you can add them to your current recipes.”<br/><br/>She didn’t know about the tents, having not been privy to the conversation, she allowed her deep brown eyes flit around looking for Donovan once before guessing that he had slipped off. Eyeing the containers and marked trees she realized that was what he had done. Using her radio she sent out a soft message, “Donovan I hope you took some soldiers with you, last thing we need is to lose our ground captain the first time out.” She shook her head and smiled at David. “Would you like to help or are you just taking it all in?” She didn’t expect an answer but silently wondered what he was thinking.<br/><br/>Frankie smiled over her shoulder at James and Alice but said nothing. She knew he was attempting to include her in the festivities, same as she was doing to David. Each in their own way, it made her laugh as she pulled out her sketch pad to include a quick reference for David so dinner could be made without much of a hassle, though they would need more equipment from the galley. Perhaps they would just make dinner on the ship for now.
