Croft slides his dark glasses down his nose just a bit at the mention of attention fom the pretty lady. "I don't see that there would be a problem with that my dear." He is all smiles again, and doen't shy away from the walking (or sitting in case) vid-link that she calls her "all-seeing eye". "What would you like to know?"

Max gives Vector a slight smile and a shrug.
"He doesn't talk much," says Sakura, "do you Maxie?" Max shakes his head. "He's been on staff at LNN for years, right?" Max gives a nod. "Management hooked us up together pretty much the day I came on board, we've worked together even since. The dream team, that's us."
Suprisingly, Max does then speak, a basso profundo rumble. "'S'right." he says.
She turns her full attention to Croft. "Good man!" she says. "Just say what you like, really. Tell me what your impression are of Lison, what your feelings are about this mission, you know," she waves a slender hand airily, "whatever. I'm sure you'll be captivating!"

Intrigue/Gather Information is generally a bit more abstract, but I'm happy to use it in this case (values rolled behind virtual GM screen). Vector gets the impression that the reporter's story, brief though it is, is on the up, and that Max is fairly relaxed, and a bit amused, to have Sakura talk for him.

"I'm just a simple traders son of House Callo. I spent the time between ports studying up on all kinds of alien history and technologies, and all my time in port in the company of as many lovely ladies like yourself as I can manage. I don't even remember the name of what I was drinking last night, but I woke up with all my organs still attached this morning, so it couldn't have been that bad right?"

March 29th, Venmeron Lake, Lison Surface
About forty eight hours pass cooped up in Petersen's crawler. Lars sleeps or plays cards with willing opponents when he can let the crawler drive itself. Kathy Sakura shows two sides to her personality; flirtatious and light with the human men, and Croft, all business at other times (the only side she shows to Ashley and Sarhat). She keeps trying to pry more information about your mission. Max, although mostly quiet, proves an amiable enough companion with a nice line in dry laconic wit.
Eventually Lars pulls the crawler up to a stop, and you realise how much you'd come to accomodate the lurtching and bouncing of the vehivle in motion. He calls the group around a screen, showing a vector image of a landscape. Next to a dot marking his crawler is a large circular depression.
"Venmeron Lake," he says. His fingers dance over the screen and the vector diagram becomes underlaid by a composite of satellite images showing the pitted grey surface of Lison. The bottom of the crater is a perfect circle of blue-white. "This is one of the prime spots for oxygen runners. But look at the this," he points out of the windscreen, towards a similar crawler parked about 200 metres away. "We've got company, but her transponder's not on." He points to the map again. "She should be registering on the scanner. And I've tried raising them on comms. Nothing."

"Sounds like a story to me," says Sakura. "Can we get any closer?"
Lars shakes his head. "The rim of the crater is very fragile," he says. "If we get our crawler too close to theirs we'll end up down there."
"Well, we'll have to suit up. C'mon Max. Any of you boys want to come along?"

"Wait a second," Ashley says. "Lars, are they in visible range?"
Lars taps the windscreen impatiently, and Ashley goes up to it, practically pressing her face against it as she stares out at the blasted landscape outside. Then she spies the distinctive, smooth hull against the rough shape of a rock outcropping.
"It doesn't look damaged. Why no transponder?" she muses.
(OOC - She wants to try to scan the crawler with HER BRAIN.)

Lars scoots aside to allow Ashley access to the front viewport. Sakura and Max, already at the e-suit locker, pause and watch with interest, silently.
Ash pushes her awareness out towards the other crawler, sat still, dark and quiet in the harshly lit landscape. Nothing. No sign of a thinking mind anywhere out there.
