"<span style="color: Red">Arsenios, get us a clear path away from this crash site. We can plan further from there...</span>"  Genie partly heard before realizing the situation.  She looked around the remains of the shuttle and quickly found a discarded yet serviceable helmet from what she assumed was one of the many dead.  She quickly buckled it on her head, and started heading for the rear exit when GIA spoke up. "<span style="color: Blue">Ma'am, there is an insect on top of the shuttle, Radiation levels are elevated but not deadly and again water is nearby.  What are your orders?</span>"  Genie stopped cold in her tracks and let out a quick<span style="color: DarkRed"> -Shhhh-</span>to everyone in the little compartment before speaking low to GIA,<span style="color: DarkRed">"GIA, I have a few things.  First, you detected the EMP waves just before it hit the first time, prepare for that on every occasion until we have better shielding in place for you.  Second, I need you to start recording and analyzing these creatures sounds, maybe we can get lucky and start broadcasting a small local sound that will make them just leave for a few minutes.  Third, we need a projected path out of here to the closest water source, keep us as far away from these things as possible.</span>"  GIA quickly threw up her standing orders in the little HUD in Genie's eye.  The chief shook her head once and turned to the Lieutenant and whispers, "<span style="color: DarkRed">Sir, there is a beetle like thing on the hull.  If we go charging out, I am sure it will pounce on us.  I suggest we handle that thing manually, and use its remains to scent ourselves to the ... environment.  Doing this quietly means someone here has to have some kind of spearing object.  I only have my knife and sub-machine gun here.  Furthermore, we have water about a kilometer away.  GIA has the location based on heat signature, of a couple shuttles near by.  Your orders?  I suggest water, shelter then foraging.  It is unlikely that the insects here will have any use for our military arms.  It would be whatever food source we have they would look for.</span>"  Genie muttered quietly.<br/><br/>Genie quickly looked around the cabin for Asya, and considering the amount of insects just outside the hull quickly pointed to the discarded body armor across everything, "<span style="color: DarkRed">Asya, you will need that I think, this doesn't look good out there.  When you are ready, if you don't mind too much, I would love your help up here as we leave.</span>"  Genie shakily said into her microphone.  While she knew the marine was certainly capable of surviving, the truth of the matter was she wanted a friendly face near her should the worst happen.  She uttered one final command while waiting for Edmund's response. "<span style="color: DarkRed">GIA, if I go down, Asya gets my access to you.  Furthermore, you will give the Lieutenant the necessary access with my headset until this mission is complete.</span>"  GIA flashed up her newest orders, and Genie turned to the rear awaiting some solution to the beetle on the -roof- before heading out.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
