I would think so, especially if we kinda start getting into the movie
@Caits

I'm going to wait for @Synthesis to reply so I can knock out both in one post. Just to let you know I haven't forgot about you haha
Luke smiled and was about to respond before he was cut off from a voice at the entrance to the bay.

"Luke and Julian, glad you all are together." It was Musgrave. The gentleman that was pretty much Luke's bosses boss. It was a rarity to see him come all the way down here for any reason really.

"Sir, what do I...well I mean we owe the pleasure of this meet up?" Luke said as he put his Uke down on top of the boxes he had signed over to Julian. "Well it is more of a convenience that I found you both in the same spot. The heads of the different departments had met together today because a rover mission is going to be conducted in the next few days. All of us had to bring to the table a nominee of sorts to help fill the different slots of the mission. Now this is a mission for discovery as it were so we will be transporting potentially different 'harvesting' type equipment. I will need you to monitor and make sure this equipment is ready to be operated at any point you understand? Basically, I am saying that you made the cut. Now as for you Mr. Felix, I was asked by your superior...Diana? I believe it was, to run and find you as well. It would seem she has chosen you too take the lead from your division as it were. At this point it is up to the lead of this mission to brief you on exactly what your duties shall be so I am terribly sorry I am so limited on info for you. With that being said are there any questions?"

Luke threw up a fake salute of sorts, "I won't let you down El Cap-i-tan! I will make sure everything goes smooth as silk in my department." Musgrave just rolled his eyes, "You better not, or it will be your ass. I am sending you the list of equipment needed to get gathered up for the mission later today. Please be on the lookout for it."

@Zora
Xander plopped down, arms falling behind the couch, "I was born ready you wild and crazy kids." This was the life I tell ya. Locked behind prison bars at all times, now sitting next to the few people in this asylum that kept him sane. Xander truly felt comfortable for the first time in a while. His brain was just focused on the movie, nothing could shake him right now. To get lost in a story was the way to go now a days.

He thought about the random songs he would sing to help him remember the good times. Sitting at the mess hall while deployed for one. Sometimes days would be so bland that the only thing you could talk about was the other person's meal. That was enough though. Just to keep it as fresh as you could. Learning random instruments with friends, sounding awful, but having a "jam" session of sorts. The little things is what made the person, as it were.

Not just that though, but the company you kept. What Xander brought to the table, or what he had hoped, was relief of sorts from the mundane. Relief from your mind at times. All he cared about was the insanity that was building up within most of us. Hell maybe even some of the staff started to get bitten by the fever. He tossed a couple of sweat treats in his mouth as he would gaze back at the door every now and again. He would be damned if someone would come in and ruin this much needed relaxation time for the group. He would be good and damned if someone did that.
Sounds like a plan
Fair enough brotha, gonna keep flowing after this of course.

@Caits @Synthesis

Hope it works for you, I will have patty on scene to discuss stuff with you while I had Jethro run up to see Nir with the sample. If the both of you would prefer Jeth staying to deal with the situation, since it isn't a "NPC" of sorts haha, I will gladly adjust to the situation
@Synthesis @Caits

A whirlwind of emotion stormed within Jethro. 'Reggie you asshole! You knew the safety briefing! We all did...I was just as excited as you for this new discovery.' he reached down and yanked the necklace from his neck as quickly as possible. The back had been eaten away by the "acid" like substance that took his life. However, he wasn't going to let his friends keep sake get lost in the medical ward. Engraved on the pendant, just an inch in diameter, read:

'To the Skies, we will ride'

Reggie used to talk about it quite often. A memory flashed before him as he fell on his ass next to his dearly departed friend.

Reggie walked up to Jethro in his room and slapped him on the back, "Guess what I just found?!" he exclaimed as he sat and spun around in Jethro's computer chair. "You finally find those Elvis records I have been asking about? I swear if you do then I will finally get back the record player witch hunt!" With a bit of a laugh he shook his head, "Even better." Tossing the pendant at Jethro. He caught it and saw the engraving on the front, "To the Skies, we will ride? Something off a Johnny Cash song? I mean, I love Mr. Cash but not to knowledgeable of his famous quotes." Tossing it back to Reggie who caught it with a frown. "You better get your day ears into gear you country bumpkin! Cash had nothing to do with this, even though I wish he had haha." His eye's began to get lost in the pendant. "This belonged to my grandfather. A gift from my grandmother while he was in the Army. To let him know that no matter where he road that at the end, we would ride to sky together. In one big bike club of heavenly light."

The memory faded as he felt his mobile chime. Jethro looked down to see Nir's response and with one quick swipe of his face he jumped to his feet. Patty had done a good job of preemptively getting the other farmers back to work. Some wondered back, others were in tears, but many were consoling them. Putting a hand on her shoulder Jethro said, "Help me out Patty, we have to cordon off this area with the lights Nir likes and what not." She nodded then looked over to another field hand, "Marty, wait here and make sure the body gets attended too. There should be someone from medical coming down to handle Reggie, ya hear?" Marty nodded and with a final pat on the shoulder of one of those brought to tears headed over to Reggie.

Once all of the equipment had been brought together they began marking the "Tomatoes" as hazardous. Jethro strung up the lights as Patty continued to mark down the row. Looking over her shoulder she remarked to him, "What a damn fool, that bastard. I swear I wish I knew why he did this." Jethro let another tear fall down his face once the remark left her lips. We all knew deep down why he did it. The sheer, child like excitement of seeing something grow here that resembled home took the best of him. Jethro then took it upon himself to get his rock throwing revenge from earlier. Winging Patty's right arm he replied, "Probably to avoid having to hear you and me have a 'singing' duet again."

Patty stopped dead in her tracks as she turned back to him, "Caloway, how can you make jokes at a time like this?" Without missing a beat he said, "I understand that time will pass on this here planet. During that time, Reggie will no longer be apart of that with us. However, we can't sit here and let our lives fall to the wayside. We have to remember him as he was. We have to help his spirit live on in the new world. Help all of us remember the hardworking son of a bitch that he really was. Big emphasis on the bitch part."

It was as though a small pinch of hope spread across Patty's face. "Well if that is the case," she flipped Jethro the bird, "Your singing was what really brought our future music career down ya monotone prick!" They shared a decent laugh at this point. Memories would flow through there minds for days after of them together with Reggie. Today though, they had to make sure the medical personnel got all the help they needed with Reggie. "Patty I have to run and get this sample to Nir, you mind holding down the fort here until I get back?"

As she curled her lips into a frown, "First of all, you ain't my boss Jethro. Secondly, I will do it," she continued down the line, "But because I want to, not because you told me too." He smiled, snagged a "tomato", bagged and tagged it, and headed off. He ran by his shed first to grab his bongos and pipe. Well at least I have one thing to look forward to today. A good smoke, with a good dude. Slinging his bongos across his back, he placed his pitchfork back on the wall and touched the pendant. "Ride smooth brother, may the roads to heaven be clear and true."

Jethro would always have a problem walking through the science district. A bunch of, very intelligent, scientists roamed these halls. How could a dirty, vest wearing, farmer feel out of place? Well in a lot of ways. Thankfully, he reached Nir's office quick fast and in a hurry so only a few people could shoot him confused glances. "Hey buddy, got you your sample."
