Zero stirred ever so slightly as he heard the robotic voice echo into the darkened room. It had only been a few moments but that's all the old man needed. Shaking his head he waved off the sand man that tried to hold him deep within his dreaming realm but it was a losing battle. Years of fighting and being out in the field made Zero an incredibly light sleeper and Evy's slightly synthetic voice was enough to pull him right from any dream he might have had. Grumbling he raised his left hand to his face sliding it up further to move that grayed hair out of his view. Shooting a glare at the AI for waking him he quickly softened as he finally took note of her position. He turned his attention to the hologram that danced in front of him, a picture of the general going about giving orders. The position gave to him was of little surprise as he sized everyone up the first day they boarded the vessel.  His patients running low he turned his attention back to the AI.<br/><br/><span style="color: #b30000">"Ya... Go do that, send em' to my room."</span>Standing up as he talked to her has he took one last look at his trees before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #b30000">"Tell anyone of this room an' we'll have problems."</span>He muttered as he passed her and went on his way to get ready.<br/><br/>The door of his room slid open, and already a tinge of longing for his simpler hideaway panged from his very core. Quickly shaking off the feeling Zero made way to his locker in the back of the room, dialing in the combo and popping it open. A smile spread across his face as he laid eyes on his one true friend, grasping the sheath of his partner in crime he fastened the long sword onto his waist using a large red rope.<br/><br/><span style="color: #b30000">"Just like ole times."</span>Chuckling to himself, he was sure no one was around to hear his bubble of joy.<br/><br/>Heading for the door he spotted the small cup of coffee laced with the supplement suggested by Evy. Pausing for a moment he thought it over before downed it in one go, not one for caffeine oddly enough. Zero spun around looking for something, knowing that he was missing an item and then it hit him as he spotted the custom jacket tailored for his frame. Striding out into the hall way he made speed to the airlock for the final piece he needed before stepping out into the new world. It didn't take him but a moment to find the large glass bowl that was his helm and adorn it with pride. Sure it may look goofy and out dated compared to the rest but his range of vision was unhindered unlike those new crammed standard issues.<br/><br/><span style="color: #b30000">"All green on my en' Evy."</span>The gray haired warrior muttered speaking surprisingly sober for once as adrenaline rushed through his veins.<br/><br/>It took a moment for the door to move after he punched his clearance into the pad, the room on the other side pressuring to the cabin before letting him in. Finally the door flung open and he took a deep breath before stepping into the pressurizing chamber, closing the door behind him he could feel the excitement rising in his chest. Punching the big red button he watched the timer count down... Ten, nine... What was going be out there? Eight, seven, six, would this be the end for some of his crew? Five, four, three, two, all these questions rushed through his mind and then it happened. One. Alarm bells and red lights flashed as a ramp lowered and what he saw was breath taking, hell he'd even go as far to say that it moved him a little. The world was vibrantly green, and all sorts of new flora dotted the land... But something was off something he couldn't quite put a finger on till he reached the end of the ramp and took the first step off the ship.<br/><br/><span style="color: #b30000">"Get tha rest of tha crew out here, Evy."</span>Was his last transmission before going silent.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
