Sisica. was still protesting, when in walked her sister, with Van Ea, to glare at her. “Everyone else has their Phekayu on, but it seems my sister, is incapable of showing the others, how to wear it proudly as a Zarcon warrior should. It seems our team, are going to be winners after all. You seem unable, to even dress yourself! The others fell about laughing. Total humiliation? Close! She stared at Orini, moved past her, towards the others, smiling at Dramen. Orini still asking her, if she, needed help, to dress herself! The other Kets still laughing at her? She was glad to see Orini and Van Ea leave.
“I suppose wearing this, won’t be a problem. It has to be worn, when I’ve been down mines on my home planet?!” She promptly slipped the suit on and fastened it before her fingers deftly put everything into place. Sisica. looked at Dramen. Seeing her concede he did likewise. Now securing the suit into place. Surprising the others with his knowledge of the suit. They were curious to know WHY, he had had such an objection, to wearing it in the first place? They had a suspicion that it was something to do with his liking of Sisica! .He was now, proudly showing off his knowledge of how to use the suit. YES both Dramen and Sisica were finally, fully dressed and a knowledge 'power house', for their team, on the suit.
Everything in place correctly! Sisica was showing some of the others a few tricks and tweaks, she had learned from being down the mines. “This is better here, put this in this pouch." The others, followed, taking her advice. “If you fasten there, it doesn’t slip out past the strap.“ Sisica stepped across to Anora, then whispered to her, as Anora, moved over to one side, to remove a top she was wearing under the Phekayu.
“If you wear that underneath, after a while it will itch. As you sweat, the sweat forms moisture, which beads with it, makes it scour your skin. You’ll get a rash. The suit contains an amino adaptive layer that uses a thin skin, that lies against your skin and bonds with it.“ Anora mutters about being cold! Sisica pointed to her arm. "See that little patch there? Press and hold your finger against it?" It was a pouch that contained a small gel like strip? She took her glove off, ran her finger along it, as the gel squeezed, it changed color from a blue to a soft pink color and vice versa.
The bluer, the color, the cooler you will be, the more pink the color; the warmer you will get! It’s a Phaxex adaptive bio suit, so it will have a default setting for your body temp, BUT has an 'Slex' to it, to allow manual temperature changes.” Anora smiled. “Thanks Sisica.“ Minutes later Cistera, gathered them to listen to Sisica. "She is going to tell us, about the main features of the Phekayu as there are some things, even I am not fully aware of!" She looked at Dramen, smiled.
We appear to have an advantage, over some of the other teams as Sisica and Dramen regularly wear this.“ She let Sisica talk. Dramen stood in front of her, as she walked around the suit pointing out various features. “At the top, the back of the neck, you will notice the rather large collar? Grab hold of it like this, squeeze the strip and count 5 seconds! In an emergency, it refreshes your juice or water pack? This to this side and pull, gives you a hood. Use it! Your head if it rains, will stay dry. Do remember it will NOT stop a rock falling on your head! That is what your face screens or body shield are for!
DO NOT remove your gloves, if its raining, UNLESS you have no other choice! Ideally find somewhere sheltered when you do, that will keep the rain off your hands? If you ignore my advice and your hands get wet? If you can’t dry your hands, before putting them back into your gloves? You will have damp hands and believe me the sensation is most unpleasant! Best avoided! Lastly, Do NOT, use the energy shielding, thinking it will protect you from rain or storms! Yes it will BUT at the same time, you will deplete your enercet packs and destabilise the suit! We don’t have rechargers, where we’re going! The suits are watertight. Weather resistant!
Snow, hailstones, lightning! Use the mask." She lifted a patch, pulled the mask out. Unfolding it, she placed it next to his face. It filmed across his face. Sisica emphasized it was weatherproof. Slip them on and they will protect your face from wind, rain, snow, grit! OK, the face screens that you can deploy, as part of the suit defense shielding. They take limited power but again, be sensible! Wear the mask if you need to or want to protect your face from the elements. Keep the face screens for emergency only! Flying debris, dust, grit and similar, immediately activate your body shields. Err on the side of caution. Stay safe!
If we’re attacked by so called, HOSTILE 'realforms', activate them! I suspect we gain merits by doing that, as it shows that we are consciously aware of, or react quickly to the threat. Talking of realform? Who, has any knowledge, ideas on or of creatures from this planet, including insect life, that we might encounter?” Torvan was heard to whisper. “Good point!" " We should remember, some may prove useful to us. Treat them as hostiles and we may lose advantages and merits! Can't emphasize that enough!“ Serenia appeared from a hatchway, moved towards them, listening to the conversation? She brought them in close, whispered. “This challenge may not be as easy as simply taking that hut!
Might I make the suggestion that whilst we are enroute to our drop off point, that each Ket lets Cistera know their strengths and..” She paused. ”Their not so good ones. Failure to understand both, can lead to disaster. That I think, TEAM, we don’t want to happen! It also gives the opportunity to learn from others and maybe if we can, improve our own, or help others improve their skills; abilities? Things can seem impossible, you can't see the solution, until another, who can, opens your mind to it! What you learn from such, you rarely forget!
If you have an idea, that may be of use? NEVER be afraid to speak up! However it turns out with being agreed with, liked or laughed at! Think positive! Us as a TEAM can turn the negative into positive by seeing how it can be changed, made better or improved. Adapt, improvise, overcome!“ Having Serenia on the team, would be a massive advantage to them. She was not alone in that thought. Narya had glanced over at Cistera and her team noting Serenia’s arrival. Yet it was not resentment on her part. She was pleased to see a veteran, one of distinction. A truly worthy opponent in the mix. Think of the prestige from beating their team!
Narya was no novice. Unknown to some of her team, Narya was in fact a battle hardened Kal Heiron veteran herself. The other teams had wasted no time, in getting organized, Claria’s team had been the only one to actually be laughing and talking to each other, ready to board the Zimp. (A small, lightweight transporter). Her team, quite noisy and their voices, could be heard down the corridor by Sadowan trying to get her team together!
