"I wish to help as well. Granted, I'm not the strongest or the most architecturally-gifted, but I know how to take orders." She smiled weakly."
Paul stopped and turned to listen as he saw Etana hurrying along to catch up. She was, as far as he was concerned, the only person among The Survivors to exhibit the right qualities to be included on The List. He wondered if Goodwin had included her the first time. And there had obviously been a first draft made. Otherwise these people wouldn't keep blithering incessantly about 'them' and 'the jungle people'. The best one he'd heard yet was 'jungle ninjas' by the Irish fellow. Rob would like that one, no doubt.
Paul smiled back at her. "No one is giving anyone else orders. If I do get, ah, pushy or bossy, please tell me. I'm just giving suggestions. But I have a little experience with these things. I served in the Bungesgrenz for a year after high school. All Austrians do. It's been a few years since then, but I still remember a lot." He gestured for her to come along. "Anyone with two hands will be a big help. I'm even open to affirmative action too. If you've got only one hand, we can still find something for you to do."

BROOKS "There's some pieces that fell out in the jungle," he said, shifting his way through the crowd and untucking his shirt, hiding the pistol. "If you want, we can go out there and see what would work. Some of the bigger pieces will work better than sticks and rocks."

"There's some pieces that fell out in the jungle. If you want, we can go out there and see what would work. Some of the bigger pieces will work better than sticks and rocks."
Paul was about to go over the plans for the shelter arrangements again and pass the page from his notepad around. But Mr. Brooks' statement halted him. There was truth to this fellow's words. Paul had come across all manner of detritus from the plane during his few days in the jungle not far from the beach where The Survivors had been loitering. But there was also almost certainly another motivation for his suggestion to venture off into the jungle.
"Good idea, mein Herr. I know roughly where the boars seem to hang around. So I should likely go with this, ah, salvage team. And for back-up," Paul pretended to look around randomly at the rest of the group. "Goodwin could come along. Good, yes? We'll be back shortly. You'll know it's us because we'll call out 'Zulu'."
This might work. 'Might' being the keyword.

GOODWIN
"Sure," he replied, "I'll go with." Goodwin knew that there was something else going on other then a salvage team. Goodwin knew what was coming next, but he decided to leave it alone.
KYLE
He looked over at Brooks from the group. He then stared at th floor and started nodding, nodding to no one in particular.

BROOKS He would make this work. He could handle Goodwin if he proved to be a challenge.
"Alright," he said, with some hesitation. "We'll be back in a couple hours. It shouldn't take us too long."
Brooks caught Kyle's eyes for the briefest of seconds, and then he turned to the woods, begining to walk.

Paul nodded and smiled politely. A pity, though, that they wouldn't be able to drag the wounded man with the gun along. Paul wanted to observe the behaviour of the people who had survived the crash. He had big plans for the social engineering experiment. But the away party which would be looking for children and pregnant women was supposed to have been a clean job. No one was supposed to die during the raid, and so modifications to the plan were necessary. He needed to know who had been hurt. Or killed.
Polite conversation was one way of getting the truth. Luring the one with the gun into the jungle, using Aaron Brooks as bait, and getting control of things with the gun was another way of finding out who was lost in the raid.

GOODWIN
Goodwin didn't say anything. He just looked at the group and nodded goodbye. He then followed behind Paul, who was following Brooks. Goodwin wasn't sure yet of what he would have to do if the situation became more dangerous. Goodwin felt he had to prevent Paul from being hurt, but Goodwin couldn't give away who he was or arouse any suspicion. It was still early for Goodwin to abandon his original plan with the tail survivors, and in that case, Goodwin would might not be able to help out Paul...depending on the circumstances.

KYLE
He walked back and forth, gathering things for the shelters and dumping them into a pile. He walked over to Etana, who wasn't standing to far away. He continued to pick up random items, like branches, and pieces of steal from the wreckage, as he spoke, "So what do you think?" he asked getting right to the point, "About our new 'friend'?"

ETANA
"So what do you think?...About our new 'friend'?"
She laughed slightly at his candor. "Well, he's pro-active, accommodating, eager not to offend anyone. He surely must be evil incarnate," she stated flatly, then smiled weakly. "Kyle, I don't blame you nor Aaron for being suspicious of him. No one would, after what we've been through. But in my home country, neighbor turned against neighbor, friend against friend, to the point where you could not trust anyone outside of your own home. I do not wish to live like that. It makes us old before our time. And I gather you've already lost many years to that sort of living," she observed.

FOX
After time by herself she got her barrings and kept a look out. wanting to make sure everything was ok, people were sick cold and dying and there was nothing Cassie could do, nothing would make it right. Nothing would ever be right again, it hadn't been alright for a long while. these people needed her help, but she wasn't able to give a hundred percent.

KYLE
Kyle stared at the ground. He was now coming to a realization of who he 'was', everything Etana gathered of his personal life, just by his appearance was absolutely right. He looked up again, "Do you think that's going to happen?" he asked in concern.

ETANA
"Do you think that's going to happen?"
She gave him a reassuring smile. "I think we will continue to survive, as long as you remain committed to your purpose of protecting these people. It's hardly fair, I know you did not ask for the responsibility, but know that you're not alone in this," she asserted.
"Besides, Paul is but one man. Aaron, Goodwin, our tall silent friend--they will keep him in check if he should prove to be a threat to any of us."

KYLE
"I think we will continue to survive, as long as you remain committed to your purpose of protecting these people. It's hardly fair, I know you did not ask for the responsibility, but know that you're not alone in this,"
Kyle was starting to truly understand the responsibility he had taken on, and how dependent the survivors were of him. Kyle hadn't realized before how much of an effort he'd need to put in to keep them safe, but now he was determined not to let them down, but he knew it was easier said then done.
"Besides, Paul is but one man. Aaron, Goodwin, our tall silent friend--they will keep him in check if he should prove to be a threat to any of us."
Kyle nodded, "Right...We'll let's just hope he doesn't become a threat," he said sternly.

Scarlett
Bounding up to the man who was gathering carnage - for reasons she didn't know - Scarlett gave her usual smile that won so many over previously, "Hey there." She tilted her head to one side and stared up through her lashes in a way only she could achieve. "Whats going on?"

**Paul enters from C4- Jungle Outskirts**
Adjusting to the uneven footing of the sand was difficult at first, especially with the heavy load of the scrap metal and detritus tethered to his back with creaking, and close to snapping, ropes made from the vine of the jungle trees. He'd only just suffered a concussion less than 24 hours earlier. The cut would probably heal in another 24 hours, though.
"I come baring gifts." He announced to the 'construction team'. He recognized the inadvertent pun, but didn't bother smiling. He was starting to get bored of the 'stupid but well-meaning foreigner' routine already.

BROOKS
Brooks was second in line, also carrying scrap metal. His eyes caught Kyle's for a breif second, and he nodded as he made his way down to the beach.
"This should get us started," he spoke firmly. He glanced at a couple of the people standing around. "Let's make one for the kids. The last thing we need are kids falling over from heat stroke."

GOODWIN
***Goodwin enters from C4- Jungle Outskirts***
He made his way back towards the group. He stepped out, past the tree line. He followed Paul and Aaron, and dropped the wreckage into a pile. He didn't say anything, he just stood back as the other two took charge.

KYLE
He walked back and forth, doing random tasks to help set up the tents. He tossed some pieces of wood and tarp to floor. He looked up for a second, catching the sight of Paul walking out of the forest. Kyle was frozen, at that point in time, he couldn't see the other two. "Damn it," he whispered under his breath. He was ready to march down the beach and tackle Paul to the ground, that it until he saw the other two follow behind Paul. Kyle could feel his muscles relax. Suddenly he was rethinking his assumptions of Paul.

FOX
Walking around the camp she checked the traps and water supply for the days to come, there were people out there. People who could cause hard to them, and Cassie would do everything in her power to not become another victim. she refused to become that person, just another number. to Them, she was a human being.
"Recuse will come," she mumbled to herself, "Until than have to keep a sane mind." she stated low to herself. gathering herself some water she looked around the camp to all the people and sighed, they looked a lot worse than ware. some people were just so scared others were taking control and some were just keeping to themselves wating for help that probably will never come. Cassie sighed and continued her checks....

Scarlett
Feeling ignored, she tried a more physical approach. Grabbing the shoulder of the man who had just whispered to himself - she thought it was something along the lines of 'Damn it' - she gave a small tug to make sure that she wouldn't be ignored. "Hey." Scarlett said to the man, "I'm a little bit confused as to what's going on - can you help?"
