The human couple turn to Calven and both shake his hand. The man speaks up first. "I'm Jaxen Vorush and this is my wife, Anka. As you've probably heard or guessed, we're archeologists. There are several interesting ruins on Dantooine that are of interest to archeologists. We do have some map data here," Jaxen says, dropping his pack to the group and rooting around in it. After a few seconds, he produces a datapad.
"This has the area we were going to be exploring mapped out, although some details are a bit vague. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how far we are from the area after the crash. An aerial view might help. I suppose I could climb one of these trees but there are predators here, some that keep to the higher branches. I'm not sure I really want to be climbing around up there but if it'll help..."

The bith bandmember turns to Leo. "There can be no doubt that all that has happened in the last few hours is connected to the disappearance of our singer." He sighs, pauses a moment and then continues. "There is no reason for me to withhold this information from any of you who don't already know it. Our singer is a spy working for the Rebellion. She uses the band as cover given the fact that she is quite talented musically. The rest of us are simple muscians with no love of the Empire. But we all do care about her. She is like a sister to us. I am certain that she has been taken by someone with ties to the Empire. It is the only explanation that has any merit. She had to have been in the escape pod and the shuttle was probably sabotaged to keep any potential rescuers from landing on Dantooine to find her. Only through the skills of Mr. Turiaf have we managed to survive the crash. The question is, how long will she be held on Dantooine before she is moved offworld?"

"I'm very pleased to meet you, sir. Madam." Calven nodded as he shook their hands, and keenly analysed the map in an attempt to get his bearings. They just don't make 'em like they used to, though... At Jaxen's offer, the academic-scout gave him an appraising glance, then looked to his wife, then back to her husband.
"Look, if it's dangerous, I can still climb one of them - I'm not as old as I look, and I've done this sort of thing before." Yes, Professor, long before. "Maybe we could send a group up, just in case." He frowned, looking from one of the group to another in turn, and he returned the look to Izon. "You look like a hardy sort, pal. Fancy a brisk climb? Some risk involved?" He smiled, in a transparant attempt to lighten the mood.
"Anybody else?"

Sorry all, I have been out with a double ear infection and haven't been feeling up to doing much of anything except seeing the doctor and trying to sleep.

Izon looks the group over as he thinks about their current state. At the request of Calven, he stops and returns the man's gaze. "I'm not one for climbing to tell you the truth. I can try though if you think it'll give us a better chance of figuring out where we are and where we need to go. I do however, think we might be better off sleeping here in the shuttle and using it for shelter through the night. We've been through a lot today and may be better suited to start off fresh in the morning." Izon will wait for the others thoughts on this. When the team is assembled to go up the trees, he will try his best to help out.
OOC:
I'm guessing that these trees are relatively easy to climb?

Oraltor draws his blaster pistol. "I'll be happy to cover you, as the saying goes," he says to Calven and Izon. He keeps a close watch on the surroundings as the climbers ascend.

While the others keep watch on the ground, Calven and Izon begin the climb into the trees, identified as Blba trees by Jaxen. They are relatively easy to climb but as you get higher into the upper reaches, you see just how spiky the branches are. Large, sharp thorns are also present on the branches, which you both take care to avoid.
As you reach the topmost branches of the tree you are climbing, you see some sort of balloon-like avian creature that as been punctured by the thorns. Two rather large snails, about a third of a meter in length, are eating the still moving avian.
Looking out over the tops of the trees, you see that the forest is relatively small. In the distance to the west, a large river can be seen and to the east a huge grassland is seen, heading off to the horizon. In either direction, it appears that you could be out of the forest in less than two hours. Also to the west, what look like buildings can be seen in close proximity to the river.

While Calven and Izon are engaged in their aerial survey, and Oraltor is covering them, Ryn takes a moment to sidle up to LE-3PO and Andre, and show them his newly-gained comlink. "Guys, does anyone know how to work one of these things? How do I find out what the ID on this one is? How do I find out the others?"
As an afterthought, if any medpacs are left, Ryn will grab one of those as well.

Izon looks to Calven and speaks. "Well, I guess we're heading west huh?" With that he begins the slow descent beck to the ground. Upon reaching the ground he looks around at everybody. There's a river not more than a couple hours west of here. There appear to be some building there as well. Unless anybody has a problem with it, that's the way that I think we should go."
