Hmm. "Hey babe." was a little forward so soon, but perhaps it was just her manner. Elena smiled and gripped the returned handshake. Strong, but not too too strong. Good. She hated fake shakers.<br/><br/>"Um, yes. Hello." she said a little weakly.<br/><br/>"I have all my kit ready." she said after the handshake was done. "I've done a few similar missions already and so I tend to pack light. How about you ?"<br/><br/>Her packing was indeed light. Just some mineral graders, some hammers, some old text books that were pre-digital but still the best, and a small chemistry lab that fitted into two old ammunition boxes for easy transport. That as well as one large duffel bag of her clothing was all she needed. These missions tended to be quite short anyway.<br/><br/>"Walk with me?" she asked 'Flower'. Maybe, with a name like Flower, 'hey Babe' was appropriate?
