"Hey Jessie, can you help me put this on?" You asked as you tried to work your way into your set of explorers armor. While you'd been practicing for the last month with it you still couldn't get the hang of the way the top and the bottom connected. Like a traditional set of Swiss combat armor the suit was made to both be able to shed the individual limbs as well as large sections and you kept accidently releasing the latches.

"I guess it was too much to hope that we'd just have a quiet day." Jessie had removed her helmet while you were safely indoors and you could see her eyes roll comically as she made her way over to where you were struggling with your various components. "All right, lets go through this again. Top off." She said lifting the chest piece over your head. "First, you get your lowers set." She adjusted your lower armor so that your feet and knees were secure in the joints that assisted their movement. "Then we get get the top locked." She put the central torso component back onto you and latched a seal with the lower portion. While you weren't going into space it might help in case there were some kind of unknown bio-hazard in the jungle. "Then your arms." She moved in and secured the right arm first, making sure that it sealed at the shoulder before doing the same with the left. "I'm going to assume you know how to put the helmet on." She said, ensuring the external latches were secure. The internals automatically clicked into place now that they were properly set and it would take a specific sequence of the outer latches in order to unlock them. A sequence that was printed in pictures by each of them as this wasn't combat armor. "Lastly your sidearm." She said, grabbing the laser pistol off the table and slipping it into the holster on your right leg.

"Thanks Jess. And no, we've got plenty of time to start gathering samples. The last thing we need is to get all nice and cozy only to find out there's some kind of plant that makes our breasts fall off lurking just beyond the treeline." You pointed out as you moved to gather your specimen containers and extraction tools and store them in the bag that would soon go over your shoulders. Jessie moved to grab her rifle, it seemed highly unlikely that any local wildlife would be able to bite or claw through your suit but Jessie's job existed for the unlikely.

"You know, you could have used another part of the anatomy to make that statement more poignant." She said as she removed her magazine and power source before replacing them after she was satisfied they were both full. "Course, there could be something out there that makes everyone here fuck like rabbits. UCA would probably approve." She put her helmet on and you did the same so that you could keep talking.

"You're forgetting that everyone here just spent four months on a ship with enforced celibacy. I'm pretty sure a warm breeze could do that." You responded as you ran a basic system check to make sure none of your scanning software was faulty. "I really don't get why. Almost everyone goes at least 18 years without having sex and now they can't wait for the green light to start a colony-wide orgy after only four months." After a final check of your side arm you exited the building, closely followed by your protector.

"If you've not done it its a hard thing to get. I tell you, once I got to go help out with a little brush war against the Incan Triumvirate. Got a nice prize, huge tits, small cock, really reserved little thing. Well it was her first fight, never had a girlfriend either. So I took her nice and gentle, sucked her off, gave a gave her a good licking, you know? By the time I went in she was begging me to keep her forever. I taught her good and by the time she went back with kid number two swelling her up that little cock of hers was the talk of the **** quarters. " Jessie said, sending you a picture to your HUD of a pretty light brown, almond eyed woman with long black hair and a noticeable baby bump. Her DD breasts straining against the fabric of her maternity clothes. "I guarantee she's not going four months without fucking." You'd been getting closer to the jungle as you talked and Jessie held up a hand to stop you from continuing forward. You complied.

"Central, this is Corporal Jessie Britney, I'm taking Natalie Green out for initial area ecological survey. Estimated time two hours. Search time at contact loss, ten minutes. Over." Jessie reported, letting you listen in on the exchange.

"Roger that Corporal, expected return time two hours. Loss of contact, initiate search in 10 minutes. You're being designated Alpha-2. Over." A voice on the other end replied.

"Ten-4 Central, Alpha-2 moving. Out." Jessie turned her head towards you as she leveled her weapon at the dense foliage. "Ready when you are."
