Ember would growl "I'm very suspicious of this." he would slowly pace around, obviously weary of Garner, his black fur bristling, "Hopefully it only lasts the minimum..." The wolf would facepalm, obviously wanting to leave "I just want to get this over with...." he would sigh "How hazardous will the mission be?"

"Assuming little has changed from the last time my team has set foot there, as long as nobody tampers with anything without making sure that it doesn't connect to anything that can even come close to harming anybody else, then we should be able to go in and out worry free, although unlike last time we will be provided with gas masks in case the air still has the stuff that gave us the plague hovering around in it, which we will of course check for with standard detection equipment upon our arrival"

Torri got up quickly. She'd barely been asleep anyway, having slept poorly. "Thanks," she said, taking the documents from Garner and looking them over. Leaving them on her cot, she took a hurried shower as she contemplated if there were any special requests she'd make.

But by the time she was cleaned up, she had decided that any wealth she had accumulated should simply go to her husband. If her body could be recovered, she wanted her ashes put into space, so she could be amongst the stars. These thoughts bothered her more this time than they had in the past and she touched her stomach gently, a sense of guilt washing over her that she was no longer risking only her own life.

She filled out the forms with her wishes then signed on the dotted line and put them into the slot Garner had indicated.

Kallisti sighed and filled out the forms given even shares to her siblings and two names she randomly picked out of the phone book.If her body could be recovered she asked it be interred at the family vault. With that commented to the the post she checked the personalized messages confessing and apologizing her sins to each of her parents and siblings. Wiping away a tear from her eyes she set the messages to be sent in a fortnights time unless she countermanded it.

"Ok lets get this movable feast on the road."

Embers wills were simple, He had none, the wolf had no living relatives, nobody would attend his funeral, Ember had little to live for, he simply would want his ashes of both himself and his belongings scattered somewhere distant, and that was it, no special requests were makeable for the wolf, as he simply had nobody to benefit or support in the first place, he needed this job, as there was nowhere for him to go. Either he would complete this mission and get his money, or he would die, Either way, he wouldn't have to worry about being poor, he had no wealth, and little belongings Ember would get up, leaning on the wall "Where's our method of getting there?"

"So where is this breakfast I'd hate to die on an empty stomach."Said Kallisti as she headed off to find food.
She had filled in the forms before, even considered faking her own death and living as a hermit on one of the colonies, but this time it felt different. She almost regretted the joke bequests. She had once wonder who those two names were and what they would make of the mysterious gifts. She had no idea who they were and what they would do with the money. It was a scariment with the Goddess. If it was her time to die then she would gift a little chaos into the world.
As always she ate heartily as her first team leader told her you never know when you will next be able to eat.

"Cafeteria is down the hall, third door on the left, they are serving eggs, sausage, toast, and muffins, just be back here in a hour so when can begin our leave" He says this while getting the remainder of his equipment, as well as making sure everything is ready for the 2 days to week that they will be remaining on the space station, he also makes mental note to inquire to the board of representatives about allowing more food to be packed along side the initial launch and landing, as resupply can delay for up to 3 days, and this can be dangerous on a low food supply

"Can I join you?" Torri asked Kallisti as she slid into the cafeteria seat on the opposite side of the table. She'd gotten a hearty breakfast herself knowing they'd likely not have a hot meal again for at least a few days. But as she picked at it, she found that her stomach felt queasy and so ate only a little.

"Is it odd... do you think... that they already sent a team there? I know Garner's old team mate died, which sucks for sure. But that wouldn't have ended the mission prematurely, would it?"

Garner finishes getting everything prepared before going down to the cafeteria where he sits down with a plate of scrambled eggs and a muffin, as well as a cup of coffee which he refills 5 times while eating breakfast

While doing so he contemplates different plans for the mission, considering different search strategies, emergency responses, and other details

Ember would slide into the cafeteria, wagging his tail and nearly knocking someones plate off their table, the wolf would grab a tray and move along the line to grab what he wanted,most of what he got was sausage, meat was what mostly made up ember's diet, being a anthropomorphic wolf and all, the wolf would sniff his tray lightly, he also had an exceptional sense of smell,He would do his best to eat it quickly, the wolf drinks quite a bit of coffee, howling quietly showing he was full and ready "So..... How long ago was the previous mission?"

Garner responds with silence, it is clear Embers pestering regarding previous missions has reached a high point of annoyance and thus the best option to avoid conflict was to just ignore him. He instead just finishes the remainder of his food before walking out of the cafeteria back to the bunk room, where they are all expected to be in 20 minutes for the launch

And with that, the wolf would finally finish, he would put his plate in a small slot with the others, he would proceed to the bunk room, waging his tail, the wolf felt lonely due to driving off potential friends, but why would he need them? He thought his relationship status was long gone, and perhaps it was, the wolf would proceed back to the bunk, his tail would stop wagging and he would simply wait, head down and fiddling with his necklace

Garner is standing next to his locker, staring at the small box that contained his revolver and ammo, he seemed conflicted as he looked at it, as the contract stated all members must have a firearm or other weapon equipped in the case of violent colony survivors or teammates going AWOL or Rogue, after debating with him self for a short while the threat of being punished for ignoring his contract overwhelmed his cowardice, and led to him putting the box in his bag before slinging the bag over his shoulder and standing next to the mail slot, awaiting orders.
