Koben's ears tick as Ayashe clearly directed her comment at him.<em>Fuck.</em>He took a deep breath and stood up coming into view from his, well, not so clever hiding spot from behind the tree.  He was clad in Coalition Armor, obvious and black, though dented and painted in an attempt to void any affiliation with the CS.  Though he stood bipedal, it was clear by the structure of his helmet that he was not human.  A large gatlin gun was strapped to his back and he held a laser rifle in his hands, the barrel pointed at the ground.<br/><br/>He stood there quietly for several seconds, weighing the pros and cons of attacking these people.  Two most likely combat worthy, two innocent, an unconcern.  Nothing stood out worth the risk of an encounter.  He regarded them once more adn then began to move off.  He stalled for a moment and turned to the group.  "Where is the nearest settlement?" the speakers attached to his helmet spoke in English and he remained around for an answer.
