[OOM] Tython.

[stuck_mynock]

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.

"I found a disc of something." Guppy says, waving it.

[will_scarlett]

"Good, maps are useful."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Toss it here," Atton says to Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy passes it over.

[will_scarlett]

Will looks around just in case anyone else appears.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton slips the disk into his datapad, holding it out. A fuzzy hologram of a robed woman appears.

"Tired of those pesky laigreks? Our home-made anti-laigrek spray may be for you ..." Atton flicks it off.

"Archives are this way," heading down a corridor.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh well, it was worth a shot."

Guppy follows him, keeping his stun gun in his hand just in case.

[will_scarlett]

"What's a laigrek? 'opefully willna be any 'ere."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Just an insect."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Do they bite?" Guppy asks. "I've got some mosquito spray if that would help."

Why yes, he did get a bag from Bar that is bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. It's come in pretty handy so far too...

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, good."

There's a lot of odd stuff on these worlds and Will would rather be prepared.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"They bite a little. They're a bit too hardy for mosquito spray, though," Atton says, starting down a corridor.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy sprays a bit on, for good measure, and passes it to Will.

[will_scarlett]

Will does the same before following Atton at least this time they have a map.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Archive Room, Archive Room," Atton mutters, peering at the signs on each door as he passes, Eventually: "Archive Room!"

[guppy_sandhu]

"What does a... legwreck look like?" Guppy asks, having thought about this for a moment. Can't easily avoid insecty things if you don't know what they look like.

[will_scarlett]

"What are we lookin' for in the archives, Atton?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Laigrek, Guppy. They're grey-green, with red compound eyes." He paues, turning to Will. "I told you two earlier. We're looking for the remains of another laboratory. Probably just the data backed up on a disk, or the computer console."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy starts searching for a disc-like thing.

He finds a large, pink bra, stares at it for a moment, then tosses it to one side.

[will_scarlett]

Will starts searching and just keeps finding lots of stuff but he can't read most of what's on them.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Throw anything that looks old my way."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy moves over to hand him a rusting metal box, then goes back to digging.

(frozen)

[will_scarlett]

So Will starts handing over the older looking boxes of notes and journals that he finds.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton, in turn, searches through them.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy reaches behind a pile of stuff to pull out a promising looking article, then gives a yell and jumps back with a standard 20th century style mousetrap attached to his finger.

"Ow ow ow gettitoff!"
