NETWORK
→ Video;

The video opens to show one of the small marsupials that seem common in Sh'Ka. This particular specimen has a scrap of green fabric around its neck and is eating what appears to be half of a ration bar.

The Soldier's voice narrates the scene: "if anyone has misplaced this creature, respond and I will return it to your keeping."

The video ends after that short message.

SH'KA
→ Agriculture Building;

The Soldier does not possess a green thumb, and has no interest in touching the data point that would give him knowledge of the planet's botanicals. But he does recognize that falling temperatures and ice accumulation can harm plant life — and that said plant life could provide needed sustenance. As such he walks steadily through the building, keeping close to the outer walls and moving slowly to both listen and feel for drafts.

Every now and then he stops to update a crude map he's made of the floorplan, to track his progress in his examinations. Around the middle of the day he stops for longer, sitting with his back against a wall and writing in the journal while eating a simple meal.

→ Outdoors;

When not engaged in exploration of the agriculture building, the Soldier moves about the wintry streets. He keeps to the shadows of the landscape where possible, using buildings and trees for cover. Now and then he crouches to examine the remnants of tracks where the snow is soft enough to take an imprint, but never seems happy with the little information he can glean from the marks.

While sneaking up on a prowling assassin isn't impossible, it would probably be smart to announce one's presence before approaching too closely.

Bring your own adventure. Feel free to hit me up via PM or at sometimesamuse for plotting if needed. I default to prose but am happy to match brackets if it's your preferred format.
