<span style="color: #bfbfbf">Issy was far too engrossed with the sheer beauty of the planet to even pay attention to the others as they began their journey. Unlike Maia, Issy had surprisingly little issues climbing down the tree. While not completely similar, the bark of the tree actually reminded her a little of rockclimbing. That said, there were still plenty of time she needed the help of the others, Berrac being her main source of help, given his strength and largest stature. <br/>
<br/>
Issy's high spirited nature even led her to start singing an old song she had learned as a kid. She had learned this song around the time she started growing more interested in seeing the universe... It was hard to believe she had finally realized that dream.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00b300"><i>"Safe journey, you're weightless now,</i><br/>
<i>Astronaut, go faster than light.</i><br/>
<i>The planets sing softly,</i><br/>
<i>Of the miracle that awaits.</i><br/>
<i>Never look back, keep going straight."</i><br/>
</span><br/><span style="color: #bfbfbf">Even the journey through the mist bank was nothing short of a miracle for Issy, who had never seen anything like it. She giggled as the mist condensed on her visor.<br/>
</span><br/><span style="color: #00b300"><i>"Astronaut, astral silver child.</i><br/>
<i>Astronaut, surrounded by darkness.</i><br/>
<i>And if you ever get lost,</i><br/>
<i>Keep going straight and don't be afraid."</i></span><br/><span style="color: #bfbfbf"><br/>
So far Issy hadnt really payed much attention to what the others had been saying. It was all scientific mumbo jumbo to her.<br/>
</span><br/><i><span style="color: #00b300">"Have a safe journey and loo-..."</span></i><span style="color: #bfbfbf"> <br/>
<br/>
Issy finally stopped her singing as she heard Trix's call out. Huffing, she looked up at the flying prankster. </span><span style="color: #00b300">"Hey! Come down here and say that to my face!"</span><span style="color: #bfbfbf"> She called out, proudly puffing her enormous chest.<br/>
</span><br/>Upon finally reaching the cavern, Issy eagerly stretched her arms, the tip of her tail rattling softly.<span style="color: #00b300">"Mmmmm... Ooh, that was a long walk!"</span>She cooed. Looking around the group, she felt a tinge of jealousy as she watched Maia claim the human engineer... Issy wasnt quite sure what she was jealous about though, Maia claiming the human girl, or that Issy hadn't beat her to the punch.<br/><br/>Shrugging it off, Issy instead slithered off towards Zero.<span style="color: #00b300">"Hey Zero..."</span>She called for him.<span style="color: #00b300">"I've been thinking... But why were you put in charge of this op?"</span>She asked, making sure the others wouldnt hear them.<span style="color: #00b300">"I mean, I'm sure you're a great soldier and all that... But we're not fighting a war here, are we?"</span><br/><br/>It had been something that had been itching at the back of her mind for a while now. Soldiers fought wars, not wild animals. What good would knowledge of a battlefield have in a situation where a pack of predators would attack the group? Its not like wild animals adhered to any kind of tactics seen in battle. If anything, it would make Issy a far better candidate for the leadership position!<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
