Takedown Team (OPEN FOR ALL!)

((OOC: Umbratus and Umbratmos….hm…))

The ship known to belong to the Kaiju Hunting team; Team Terra, cruised through space, set on course to the desert planet known as Choaliv. Within the ship were various gadgets - and the beings on board were of human, alien, and robotic origin.

KH sat in the cockpit space as usual. He was silent for the most part, just downloading whatever info he could grasp at on their current destination and kaiju. There would be some time before they’d arrive to their case.

Strex exited her quarters, peering out into the halls, before moving up to the front of the ship as well. She wanted to see how everyone was doing, maybe talk a bit, and prepare for the mission. To be fair, Strex was also feeling a bit on edge for the kaiju. She has dealt with them before, but each kaiju is unique with their own abilities and looks. Strex made a note to ask KH for information on the kaiju they were going to take down.
She entered the cockpit, glancing out into the window. It took her a while to get used to the idea of not being on the ground, but soon enough, she got used to it.
Strex sat down in her own chair, deciding to leave KH be for now. Instead, she waited. Her tail curled around the bottom of the chair, the end of it resting on the floor.

Strex turned towards the two who entered, scaly lips lifting up in the Axed version of a smile. “Probably ten or twenty minutes? As long as nothing shows up, we should be good.”

She glanced over at KH, who was sitting, but slightly leaned over. “Not sure about him. He’s been downloading info for the past few hours or so. Hasn’t said a word.”

“I assure you, it is information I am downloading.” Came the robotic and unamused reply. KH turned around, sitting back up again.

“Choaliv. Don’t know too much about it, but I believe KH does. If you want to know anything about the planet, just ask him. Or the kaiju we’re after.” Strex responded, nodding over at KH.

Vexhorc was in his own quarters on the ship. This was the new team he had been assigned to join. He was a very well trained scout and tracker. His room was small, but had all the necessities he would ever need; a bed, a few compartments for storage, and of course his faithful beast. Cruax, as was what he called his 'hound', was currently gnawing on a bone that had been tossed to it.
The alien-like creature was currently stuffing a few things into what appeared to be an old satchel. One of few things he owned, and often used to carry his things when out in the field. Vexhorc lifted his head, face mostly hidden by a strange mask which he always wore, as well as the strange cloth which were his 'clothes'. A smile came across his muzzle as he looked towards his beast. The male moved a muscular arm over, lightly scratching Cruax's head, speaking in another tongue, his own native tongue.
Eventually, the alien stood up from his place, being close to 7ft in height. He patted his hound, then left to go visit with the rest of the crew. He might as well get to know his new team. This would be his new 'family group', or that is the way he saw it. Back where he was from, it was important to be close to the 'family group', as they would be stronger as a pack, than single entities.
He perked up, hearing the sound of voices and movement. So, that was where he would head, towards the noise. He wasn't a tracker for nothing. Tracks, sounds, smells, he learned all the essentials to survive, and seems help others. Claws clicked on hard floor as he moved through the halls. Eventually, the creature rounded a corner, seeing the rest of the members of the team.
Despite his rather intimidating stature and appearance, Vexhorc gave a toothy grin, revealing the outlines of jagged fangs in the glowing blue maw, "Ah, Vexhorc not too late? Join family yes?"
Another thing, English was not Vexhorc's first language. So, it was hard at times to understand him. As well as most shortened his name to simply 'Vex'.

“Probably not good food. From the research I’ve seen, they’re only a recently colonized planet, and since the kaiju, they’ve been having trouble with getting food. Reviews online state the food as being dry, although some do state there is spicy foods. Just harder to find.” KH stated.

“The kaiju is Terlas, a class delta kaiju. Second lowest class. It burrows under the ground and has been disturbing mining processes for a long while now. Adapted to hot temperatures, fitting well as Choaliv is a desert planet. It also feeds off of the minerals and oils that are mined on Choaliv.”

Strex looked over. “Hey Vex! It’s not too late, everyone’s just meeting up right now.”

Hearing the welcoming voices, Vex trotted over to the gathering group. The bipedal creature soon plopped himself down on the ground, legs crossing. He settled his large arms on either side, being careful with his claws as he did so.
"Goodgood…Vex happy to be welcomed!"
His head turned, the mask remaining over his face. The creature tilted his head to the side in an inquisitive manner as he listened to Ean and Strex talk about 'food', then the Kaiju. That's what they were called, 'Kaiju'. Simply to Vex, they were just either 'big ugly' or 'monster'. He shifted a bit, but remained mostly in his position on the floor.
"Ooo, burrow big ugly hard. Hard track, but Vex know how. Count on Vex and Cruax to find big ugly!"

“It’s good we can count on you, Vex!” Strex said, sounding genuinely happy. She was not too bothered by English skills, as she too had been there, once.

“We’ll need to study the terrain. For a start, it’s rocky, dry, and most of the dirt there is loose. We’ll need to check our supplies too. Ammo, shielding on the ship, etc, etc. I’ve also done some notes on the kaiju. Not too much is known on it because of how hit and run its attacks are, but it has weak points at the underbelly and neck. Eyes are also good to aim at. It’s a fast runner, too. 30 metres in height. Not the tallest, but still not to be taken lightly. Keep those in mind.” KH responded, having turned to the window.

The creature seemed to make a strange, guttural noise, an equivalent to a 'happy'/'pleased' sound. Vex paused, glancing over to the robotic humanoid who was currently stating a few facts and things to look out for. His hidden gaze shifted to the side as another female spoke up, also suggesting a few things. Vex remained quiet for several moments, before finally adding his own thoughts to the mix.
"Loose dirt dangerous, need sturdy, strong rock. Lure big ugly to rock, no burrow."
Vex paused for a minute, then continued, "Light possible distraction, big ugly have bad eyes? Very likely hate loud noises. Lots of banging and booms confused big ugly."

“Eyes are generally almost always weaknesses for kaiju, but if this one is a borrower, then it’s got to have some type of weakness to light. The noises are also good as well. Loud noises, and replicas of its calls. However, the latter also depends on its behaviour to others of its kind. Some kaiju are very aggressive when they hear similar calls of their own, and others become peaceful.” Strex took note.

KH seemed to nod. “The mineral trap could work, as long as the planet inhabitants agree to it. I’ll need to contact them in advance though, so I’ll need to know if we’re doing that one for sure. Explosives are good as well. Maybe we could use it to weaken Terlas.”
