The winds began to pick up in a small clearing surrounded by a lush forested area. The wooded area seemed to be brimming with life as small creatures scurried about. Their attention was quickly given towards the center of the clearing as an odd nine by five portal opened. Its edges were brimming with multiple colors giving off a sparkling prismatic appearance with the inside noticeably of a swirling green.
Finally something stepped through, a person about five foot eleven wearing black combat boots which seemed to not have any laces. Inside the boots were tucked the dark green legs of this mans pants, which were loose fitting and hiding the nano weaved carbon body laced armor underneath. His belt was black and connected to the harness that strapped over his right shoulder and held the device that attached to his sword. The sword was nothing special to look at on the surface, being about two thirds the size of a normal issue SOLDIER sword, but looks were deceiving. The Aire Tam Storm had a wide array of modes and abilities built into it and this was just its default stage. The sword was a one handed sword, with each side having a blade, its broadside was against the back harness instead of a sheath. The mans matching green top was more tight fitting and covered his whole torso and right shoulder. The left shoulder was covered by a shoulder plate that had an insignia on it with the simple letters of SRI. Matching the boots were black combat gloves that left the fingers uncovered.
Stepping out into the fresh air the man Codenamed Enki took in a deep breath and exhaled letting his Mako Blue glowing eyes take in all the scenery around him and enjoying the breeze whip through his shorter sandy blond hair. It wasn't all simple enjoyment though as his internal UI that displayed inside of his eyes was giving him a checklist over his equipment.
Aire Tam Storm: Verified, all systems check. Materia equipped: GlacialGale:READY, ThunderStorm:READY, HowlingSteel:READY, Haunt: READY, Comet:READY, BioRoots:READY, Eclipse:READY, MagmaQuake:READY.

Before the systems were even finished going through their post portal travel checklist Enki calls out to his team mate on the other side of the portal.
"Hey, you coming? Last time you threw a certified fit because I came by myself." Pausing his comments to her, he turns his attention back to the task at hand. "I don't really think we need to do preliminary life readings, I'm surrounded by it. Trees and fresh air, It's a good one this time boys." His reference to the last few planets being outright duds ranging from sand balls to charred husks it hasn't been kind to the expedition teams of late.
