She sent a private message back of a white flag, followed by a sales receipt from an upper end toy store dated the week before the mission departed... the item blacked out. "If you find it, you can have it.. kisses"<br/><br/>Laura returned herself to her contemplations about time schedules and the best way to make sure everything was under cover. She took a moment to access the specs of the cargo containers and determined that they could withstand the storm in the open, although they might be scattered over half of the area.<br/><br/>"More bodies may slow things down as there's only so much space here. We have the time to get everything off and into the hanger, even if it's not particularly tidy."<br/><br/>She stacked two crates onto of each other and with a bend of her knees, she grunted and lifted them, carrying them off of the shuttle,<br/><br/>As she moved carefully, she activated the general comms, "Anything not going on the mule can be stacked over here." She demonstrated by dropping the two crates... careful of her toes... on a stretch of Mars Creete leading to the hanger, "We'll act as if it's a supply dump, anything that doesn't get inside can be covered and secured until we can get back to it."
