[OOM] Tython.

They made planetfall a couple of hours ago.

So far, things have mostly just been messing around. They landed in a forest clearing, a little way from a deep but gently flowing river and a waterfall.

Which is where Atton is now. There's a pile of his clothes on a rock by the river, but he's nowhere to be seen, most of the time. Occasionally, he bobs up from under the water, peers around, and goes back down again.

"S'fine, once you get back all the things trying t'kill you."

"Well yeah, if you can get them back."

"Think we can, been workin' so far."

"C'mon, let's go see if we can find anything useful."

Guppy puts his towel away and finishes his sausage.

"Okay."

Will puts out the fire and grins, "Aye."

Atton turns, pointing dramatically at the building.

"Let us go!"

Half an hour later, they're trudging up the hill.

"S'further away than I thought," Atton grumbles.

"It's nice enough scenery at least."

"Aye, na cold at all."

"I like the cold."

"Not frozen. But pretty in its own right." Guppy's camera comes out again.

"Oh aye, can be nice but freezin'."

Atton just grumbles.

They soon reach the top of the hill, a little way from a large, circular building.

"Remind me again exactly what we're looking for in this one?" Guppy asks.

"Aye an are they 'xpectin' us?"

"Nobody here to expect us. We're looking for remnants of another laboratory. If it was removed from any excavations while people operated from this building, it would've been brought here for storage."

"Is there likely to be an automatic security system?"

"Or do we just lie our way in?"

"Nobody here, you guys," Atton repeats. "Nobody to lie to. I don't know whether there'll be an automatic security system or not."

"Is there a way to find out before it tries to kill us?"

"Oh aye, makes it easier."

"No. Foolish Guppy," Atton says, shaking his head as they reach the door.

It heaves open with a little bit of effort, throwing up dust. Inside, a man with a torch looks up.

"Oh, er, man, I was just here to look for stuff to sell, I mean - ..."

"Nobody is here!" Atton hollers, balefully. The man squeaks, hurrying past them to escape. Atton turns to Guppy and Will. "Nobody is here." He sulks his way into the building, summoning a ball of lightning above his hand to light the way (not dangerous at all, clearly).

"Well that's good, he would have set the alarm off first."

"Oh aye."

Will doesn't say anything just grins and stays farther back from Atton.

Atton appears overjoyed as he finds a map.

"S'a map," cheerily.
