Chakossa growls something. "<Shyriwook> We need some parts. Let's go to the town and see if we can find them. We must complete our mission."

After someone translates, Muzhy says, "Do we even know where town is? Do we have a map or something we can use?" He looks out into the storm. "Even with a good map, we'll have trouble finding our way through this." He goes back in to fetch his gear and puts on what cold weather clothing he has.

When you were coming in you caught a glimpse of Kijimi City, and with a bit of effort you manage a decent enough map from the sensor logs. You stand a... chance of finding it. Two options present themselves at this point.

Risk it, and head for town.
Wait the storm out before heading for town.

Both present risks and rewards.

"I could guide us, perhaps, in this storm," Naomi suggests carefully. "But I will only do so if everyone wishes it. I think it unwise to press our luck at this stage, and believe we should wait it out."

Chak growls. <Shiirywook: "I am not afraid. We must continue our mission. We go, I say. I will stay, if you all decide to stay, though">

Muzhy mutters, "Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea," before speaking to the others: "In other circumstances, I might suggest waiting it out here. But if that fellow who shot us out of the sky manages to figure out where we landed, I wouldn't like to be here waiting for him. I think we should cautiously move out."

Mal listens to the arguments and while, he'd prefer to wait out the storm, he knows that Saar Garlk, the bounty hunter, will not wait out the storm. "Saar Garlk will not be deterred by the storm. I would rather wait out the storm, but I believe we are canned yobshrimp waiting for him if we stay here."

The blizzard has not relented and you are an hour into your hike from the ship.

Hoods and masks cover your faces, but you are chilled to the bone. Mal holds a small device, a single barely visible red dot blinks on the compass like device. It shows you were the ship is but its fading with each step, and soon you'll have no point of reference.

You have to scream over the howling wind to talk to one another..

Muzhy slaps his hands on his body, trying to stay warm and keep his blood circulating. He leans close to Naomi and says "Should we try to use the Force to try to see if there's any life around here again? Maybe that will help tell us if we've lost our bearings or not?"

When he is done speaking, he lifts a hand and reaches out with the Force to try to sense his surroundings, looking for signs of life.

"I sense something," Naomi shouts to the others. She pulls her cloak closer about her, though the tips of her montrals force the cloak up higher, making her seem taller than she really is. "Something is circling us, stalking us like prey." She bares her teeth for emphasis, though is was doubtful any of the others would notice in the storm. Coming from a predator species herself, the feeling is distinctly uncomfortable.
