While Eric was not much of a flyer, Kat on the other hand didnâ€™t mind it at all. When she was a little girl she had dreams of being a pilot but those dreams were always crushed by her oppressive jackass of a father. â€œDreams never come true,â€ he would always tell her whenever he would come home piss drunk. It was about the only memory she had of him; she couldnâ€™t even remember his name anymore, but as far as she was concerned that was a good thing. Maybe someday sheâ€™ll be able to fly whether she would be flying a jet or just anything really. It was still a hidden passion. Kat was someone who refused to be broken by childhood memories.<br/><br/>As Eric slept, she decided to stretch her legs a bit and take a look around. She couldnâ€™t really sit still and as much as she didnâ€™t mind flying long flights could be boring. Not to mention if there was a storm brewing on Blandar then she knew there would be more standing around and waiting for it to subside. There were a few brochures and such sitting around. Kat decided to glance through a few of them just to get a feel of what she would be up against. From what she gathered, this planet had more of a harsher environment than Earth did. Several precautions must be taken before entering the atmosphere, which were carried out during the flight. Those on the ship who were from Blandar didnâ€™t have to go through the entire thing, only having to have a checkup.<br/><br/>Kat was not thrilled about having to take a few shots but if it meant she could get some fresh air then so be it.<br/><br/>When they announcement had been made that they arrive Kat immediate went over to where Eric was, noting that he was still asleep. Kat sighed and was about to kick the back of his chair when a man approached him. Eric woke up and then the two greeted each other like the good friends they were. A small sense of homesickness hit Kat then. It was ironic seeing this now since she had thought of her friends back home earlier. At work she didnâ€™t have too many, and those that worked with the fleetâ€™s crew were always busy so she never really got to talk to them; her schedule and her friendsâ€™ schedules were never friendly enough to allow them time off where they could see each other.<br/><br/>She almost felt sad, but shook it off. â€œYes, Iâ€™m Kat, the mysterious sister.â€ She said somewhat absently, trying to shake her thoughts. â€œYou donâ€™t have to worry too much about us at all, as he said. Iâ€™ll make sure he stays in line like a good boy.â€ Looking to Eric she said, â€œLetâ€™s get going, there might be a storm but Iâ€™m sure you donâ€™t want to stay here all day.â€<br/><br/>Shy she was not, not always, but she walked away with a lot on her mind. How this mission was going to go, if her and Eric could get it done without screwing up, and, oddly enough, she also thought about her friends again. They had no idea she was here. Knowing Tom he would tell her not to get herself into trouble, like it had ever done any good in the past, she thought with a light sigh. If anything she had a few tricks up her sleeve should anything go wrong. After all she was more than just a slightly tomboyish woman who liked weapons, she could be clever when she wanted to be, when she wasnâ€™t overreacting about a situation.<br/><br/>Kat walked out of the ship and took in her surroundings carefully, speaking of caution. Blandar, on the surface, was not as welcoming as Earth was. It didnâ€™t seem as lush as Earth or as diverse in climates among other things and the air seemed a bit oppressive. Then again she has only seen a little bit of it, and there was a bad storm, to give the place the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless she was just glad to get some actual fresh air. She couldnâ€™t help but smile.<br/><br/>â€œI hope this storm lets up soon. I donâ€™t know about you, but I would like to explore a bit before we get down to business.â€ She told Eric as they walked to the nearest safe zone to take refuge from the storm. Storms here seemed a lot worse than anything she has experienced on Earth, from what she gathered.
