"Not literally, you silly horse." Otto boops Fire's nose and giggles under his breath. Once the team sets out, he takes his own pack of rations and lets someone else handle the map. "Eh? Oh... uhhh..." he reaches into his briefcase and hands Cerl the map. "Yeah, you're good at this navigating thing." he hands Cerl the map, clearly glad to be rid of it. Last time Otto tried to to navigate, he'd lead his team in the wrong direction and ended up wasting hours of their time. He was simply no good at it, and that's one of the ways his lovely mate completed him. She was just so adept at things he was rubbish at, and vice versa.
"There ya go. If anyone else wants to look at it, I guess Cerl has it." the otter shrugs, then tries again to balance the sword on his fingertip. He sticks out his tongue and bites lightly down on it as he focuses on *clank* it falls to the ground. "Shoot..." he swings one paw, picks it up and *shhhink* re-sheathes it. "D'oh!" the otter suddenly exclaims, then flashes a smile at Setrian and Nekura "Where are my manners?! I'm Otto, and you can call me Toey if that so pleases you." he directs that comment at Setrian "I don't really care. Nice to meet you both. Now let's head out before someone gets too rational and stalls us here." he snerks and waves them over so that they could head out now.
"Oh, we're going again? Yay!" Firecracker cheers, clopping her tiny forehooves together to produce hollow, equally tiny, sounds. "Don't tell me what's gunna happen though, I want it to be a surprise!" She scrunches her little muzzle at the nose booping and responds, "I'm not a horse, Silly! I'mma pegasusus!" Once the party is all set and ready to go, the pony hops into Cerl's saddlebag, poking her head and the ends of her forelegs out of it as she rests upon its edge. "I dunno if we're too rational, but we got a lot of em in here!" she notes, patting the outside of the bag.
Oh brother the pegasus is along. Nekura rolls her eyes remembering last time Firecracker stole some of her thunder though she doesn't say anything and instead follows after them.
Setrian simply gives a nod, picking up his own ration pack and preparing to head out. "Nice to meetq you otto. I'm Setrian. I'm guessing toey was a nickname that firecracker gave you? Anyway, looks like the only thing keeping us here is the lack of direction, so where to?" he asks of Cerl who has the map.
Allisa helps Cerl secure the rations pack and double checks all the pouches are closed. Doing her best to help the Agents acheive their objective and come home safely even though she is only tasked with briefing them. "Good by and good luck." she says as they exit the hut.
The wind was blowing lightly to the north-east which would be a benefit to them if it were warm as they travel west of the Fairhaven bubble. They aren't bothered by ferals as the hike, being lead away from their normal territories one their way out of the bubble and arrive at the endge of the bubble. At this particular section of the edge there are few trees or buildings to obscure visiblity and the weather is favorable to not being ambushed.
Cerl trots quickly along the path indicated by the map, keeping an eye out for potential threats as they travel. As they approach the target area, she stops well short of the goal remembering that the scouts found many traps. Pulling Firecracker back out of the saddlebag, she whispers to her, "Hey Fire, got a game for you. The goal is to make sure all of us stay safe. The more traps you can find and tell us about without letting anyone else know you're in the area, the bigger the prize is for winning!"
Otto perks up his ears and smiles lightly as he overhears what his mate was whispering into the pony's ear. He giggles quietly but doesn't say anything about it, certain that Firecracker would do an excellent job as their spotter. She had quite the eye, after all. As for the otter, well he was happy just walking on the path after Cerl and with the others. There wasn't much to say or do, so he hummed a tune that sounded a lot like the Irish shanty "Drunken Sailor". He also seems to notice how nice it was out here, the pleasing sighs of the natural landscapes proving quite easy on the eyes. "So! How about those ferals? We gonna clear them out or... find some dastardly way to avoid harassing them..." he then mutters something under his breath that sounds a lot like "just like we always end up doing...".
The moment Firecracker feels the bubble failing around her, she puts up her own bubble! With her Distributed Nanomagic drawing from three other NICE units nearby, assited with her nano magician talents and nanofilaments, it can reach out an impressive 140 feet in all directions. After hearing Cerl's game idea, the pegasus smiles brightly and snaps a quick little salute. "Okie dokie lokie! Find the traps and don't get found!" she confirms before starting to whistle along to Otto's song, bobbing her head to the tune.
Oh boy a bubble. Too bad Nekura still has no nano magic since her player is lazy about acquiring them. The Nightmare continues following after the others as they head towards the college though she's keeping an eye out for any signs of snoops watching them on the way.
spotting cameras and traps
Setrian takes the rear position of the formation, looking behind them often to ensure that they are not being followed, or even worse, ambushed! His perception is not the best, but he tries to make up for it by frequency in checking their six.
The party manages to cross the edge of the bubble without even slowing down, even bringing their own bubble with them. As they exit the bubble and begin to look around they astutely notice that there are not yet traps and that no-one it following them.
After some time hiking they reach a wooded area the map tells them in almost on top of the destination. Being already alert for traps and trails they are surely ready for what awaits them as they procede through the shaded woods.
Cerl glances around at the group once Firecracker starts her little game of Find-The-Traps. "Take it slow, remember the scouts reported lots of pits, wires, etc. I'll try to let you know if I find any but don't follow too close." Since she's in range of Firecracker's bubble, Cerl decides she might as well put it to good use as long as she can. While she is quite stealthy without any extra help, being invisible just makes it that much more likely she won't get caught. With that thought, she quickly activates her vanishing nanomagic and begins to move forward slowly toward the goal. She probes the ground ahead of her wherever it seems a bit more ground cover has built up, while at the same time keeping a sharp eye peeled for trip wires or any sign of anyone...or anything...approaching the group.
