Andy looked at his rifle, then at the lad in front of him. " It's a rifle, incase anything decided we look tasty! Harhar! Say, you have any equipment apart from that Headache Machine? It's not going to do you much good in anything apart from giving you a migrane. " He stared at the lad for a moment. Brown eyes, obese, poorly equipped. Notes taken, this guy needed protecting. " Seriously though, the rifle is to be used as a weapon against the wildlife that live here. " He bent in closely and whispered: " I've heard there are giant tarantulas and wasps the size of dogs, if you value anything on your body, you stay close to me, ok boy? " He craned back and checked the gun was loaded, he pointed it at the sky and let out a round. People's heads swung around to see the commotion, but dismissed it as a example.
