Tristan was a bit jittery as this was his first mission and first time ever being on another world. He proceeded to do the sign of the cross before he grabbed the silver crucifix that hung around his neck and kissed it. To most this would seem like some bizarre overly religious ritual but to him it was just a way to ensure good fortune. A bit of a superstitious ritual but it seemed to work as whenever he seemed to forgo it something would always happen that made the mission a bit more difficult. He immediately put it back underneath his uniform with only his silver chain only subtly being visible. It was then that he peered around to get a better look of the people that he would be going planet side with. One of them had very dark features akin to most middle eastern decent. An exotic beauty and once his eyes fell upon the flag insignia of Israel he became more at ease. Heh if she is are CO then I feel bad for whoever we encounter.. Those Israelis are some tough bastards.. he thought to himself before his eyes finally laid upon the blonde alien woman. He didn't know what to think of her but he had heard that they had abnormal strength and was pretty sure she could take care of herself in close quarters. Not sure if she would be useful in a fire fight but hopefully such a thing could be avoided. He then turned his head to see the Aussie giving him a thumbs up and couldn't help but crack a smile as he returned with one of his own.
Before he knew it however he was immediately beamed from the mild climate of the ship to a planet whose weather was near freezing. He couldn't help but let out a deep sigh only to see his breath appear in a smoke like haze before Trist's deep blue eyes. He clutched his P90 a little closer to his body a bit as he shook to his very core from the near subzero temperature. He tried his best to keep his mind off the cold and followed Miller and Lt. Zaken lead as they appeared to have the most experience. He patiently followed their lead. She muttered a typical line about having your weapons ready but not to fire unless fired upon. He couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle at that line. "Sooo when the bullets start whizzing by I guess that is my cue?" he joked before his eyes turned to the sky to see the freshly falling snow. He coudn't help but be enamored by such a thing as he had never seen snow before. Most of the climates he had ever lived had been either been mild or a harsh desert landscape. To see snow for the first time on alien world was quite fantastical and he relished in it for as long as this quiet peace allowed for.
