Russia.....Earth.... He knew what had happened to it but seeing the sight for himself was something else. Granted it was only what he could see in the surrounding area that the ship but it was interesting nonetheless. While Ana left the choice of who was going along and staying up to Valerius, but in the end, she disregarded everything he said. It made him wonder who truly was the captain of the ship. He had to chuckle,
It was what humans and like-minded races did in such situations, no? Well, it was the appropriate reaction, indeed. The Daily workings of the crew was kind of like those old comedy tv shows. It was quite the collection of characters he --- they had aboard the ship.
Either way, it was quite fortunate that it happened since it allowed him to go along. Well, let's be honest. Even if she didn't intervene like that, he was still going to go. It's been such a long time since he was on earth, there was no chance he was going to sit behind and miss an opportunity to pick up some new information. Also encountering strange creatures, of course. It was just that the intervention justified him going along. He wanted to try to get along with the humans and also wanted to test out the new knives he got. They were supposedly one of the sharpest and durable knives one can get but he wanted to ascertain their quality for himself.
Something else that was quite fortunate was that given his race, a suit wasn't needed. He knew the humans needed them, though.
Their body composition can be such a burden sometimes, you just got to pity them. Taking the rear, like a real butler would, he followed them out of the ship and onto earth soil. It was covered in light white snow, which was made glow due to the radiation.
In a situation like this, one would say its beautiful, yes? As they continued to move forward Ana said something about ghosts in the area, well, that's what it sounded like anyway. Ghosts, huh? The topic of ghosts date back a long ways in the human race, they were in practically every culture and each have their own stories of them.
Stories about them and other various supernatural related things were always something he found interesting. They in themselves have quite the interesting history. While there was many that believed in them, there was also those who didn't as well those that are afraid of such things. From the looks of it, it didn't seem like any of them would be the type to believe in such things. But like many other things, looks can be quite deceiving. A perfect example would be their seemingly fearless, yet a little slow, captain. The slightest mention of them had him acting differently. It seems that he's afraid of them, huh? Given his reputation, one wouldn't expect such a character afraid of something like 'ghosts'.
His body bathed in black, blending in perfectly with dark setting, appeared right behind Valerius. Bringing his face close to Valerius's ear, in a light but erry voice.
"Don't be silly." He paused, taking in his reaction before continuing.
"The suits protect against radiation and the like not ghosts. They can easily slip in and out. One could even be hiding in there as we speak now." he smiled.
