Who: the Vision and YOU
Broadcast: Video
Action: On Lyndia
When: Video is now, action through the duration of the system

[Video Broadcast]

[The video clicks on to a tunnel opening up to a spectacular cavern with what looks like a lava waterfall, casting an orange-red light onto the surroundings even though it's fairly distant. After a good long moment, the view swings back to the tunnel where a few sparkling rocks are embedded in the gray stone walls.]

I'm pleased to report that one can indeed find diamonds down in the lower mines, though they tend to appear rather close to lava flows. I'd advise caution if you'd like to seek them out, but I am reliably told the natives will craft them into a number of tools for you if you can acquire them.

[There's a brief hissing sound from behind the camera, and he quickly sets it down. The sounds of a scuffle and a high-pitched screech are heard, and after a moment he picks it back up again.]

Ah, and do watch out for the cave spiders if you traverse this deep. They're rather large.

[Action throughout the month]

[The Vision doesn't spend all of his time looking for underground treasures, of course. This is a great planet for some flying, especially when it means checking out some staggeringly giant trees and looking for novel fruits to bring home for testing, or gathering wood for various construction projects. There's also all of the neat tech to be found in the populated areas underground, so he can also be found shopping for upgrades, new media for the library, spare parts, and of course creature comforts. Maybe they even have some donut powder! And since it's been so very long, he can even be found at the water park wearing a ridiculous little yellow Speedo and looking like he's thoroughly enjoying the screaming crowds of young people on inflatable tubes.

Lastly, for those few who might remember, his birthday was officially set as May 16th last time he was in the Fleet, and it's quickly approaching....]

[ Sara is in an adventurous mood and also she hasn't fought monsters in like, way too long. Vision can probably hear the sounds of a scuffle, much like the one he broadcast, and perhaps he comes across Sara when she's finishing the spider off, blades (produced from SOMEWHERE) in hand ]

Well, that was fun.

[Wanda asks Vision to meet her in one of the public gardens at night. She'd decided foregoing absolute privacy in the name of safety might be a better option, and they're certainly closer to their planetside lodgings this way. Luckily, there aren't many people enjoying the gardens at this hour.

She's waiting for him on a blanket in the grass with a tiny picnic, dressed in the princess dress from Calibrations courtesy of Sansa. There are little color-changing lights all around her, and she smiles warmly when she catches sight of him.]

Vision.

[Her voice is soft with love and desire, and Wanda reaches out to invite him to join her on the ground. His first present of the night is a slow, deep kiss.]

Happy birthday, love.

[It's starting to feel a little cliche, but Natasha always takes advantage of stopping in new systems to refresh Vanquish's supplies as well as her personal caches—it's not all that surprising she'd run into him looking into what kind of comforts they can find for the ships.

For the time being she's still just browsing, but that only makes it a better time to check in on the Vision.]

Finding anything you like?

[Connor has a lot of time on his hands. This doesn't strike him as unusual as it did months ago when he first arrived in the Fleet. He's thoroughly acclimated now to the different pace and priorities here, compared to his frankly chaotic week working with the DPD.

Since he's waiting the requisite number of days to obtain the gun he'd purchased, he's spending his time perusing the technology stores in the city instead. It's still intriguing how some of the technology far outstrips that of his own world, but when it comes to robotics-related wares it's only on par, at best. It's in one of these places that he finds Vision, and brightens immediately. It's been a while since they've spoken.]

Vision, hello. What are you looking for?

[There's no real reason for Thor to be out here, besides wanting to trash some giant wildlife occasionally. It's hard to find a real outlet for his frustration now that the Marsiva is shielded again. But he has to admit that it's peaceful out here in the wilds. The locals don't come out here, and the Fleet members are too few to congregate in a lot of places. So sometimes... Thor just exists out here. On his own. It isn't always good for his state of mind but it's sorely needed nonetheless.

He's sitting up the top of one particularly huge tree, perched on a branch and eating a packet of trail mix when Vision comes into view on the horizon. Eyebrows raised, Thor waits until he's close enough before calling out:]

If it's clear skies you're after, you'd best stop here! There's a storm brewing further north.

[For once, it's not because of Thor's mood. He just knows there's ugly weather a few hundred miles along the path Vision's travelling.]

[Being in underground cave systems probably shouldn't be at all comfortable, but this is nothing like Siberia. The combination of terrain and creatures is enough of a challenge to keep mind and body both engaged, and it's a nice enough test for the knives Bucky had obtained in one of the shops. There's a certain freedom to let go, here; to fight the way he can fight without having to worry about the durability of a sparring partner.

That's not to say the caves are empty of friendly forces, though. He's surprised to come upon the Vision down here — in a good way — and he holds up both hands as he approaches (although there's still a combat knife clasped in the right).] Not a spider. Promise.

For once, Kurt isn't the most skantily dressed of his ship-mates. Wandering around in a small pair of shorts and sunglasses, he seems content with people-watching for the moment. Seeing so many living so freely never gets old, and he hopes it never will.

His joy is slightly soured when he glimpses Vision, uncertainty curling in his stomach like a foul cat. For a moment he considers turning to walk away, but the android (who he still privately considers his captain) earned his trust long ago. And he technically doesn't disagree with him..

"You know, its still funny. Most people wear less to these places."
