Nikolai walked back into the vehicle as soon as Aurea had finished talking, completely by accident.

"Huh?" he asked, holding his walking stick by its middle, "I'm so sorry, you're gonna have to repeat all of that." Nikolai held a hand to his head, sighing.

"We're in the middle of a wasteland," Nikolai said, holding his walking stick in two hands, "There's dirt as far as the eye can see. Barely any plants, lots of holes, likely a lot of dangerous creatures that we just can't see yet." Nikolai looked at the group.

"I'm more than likely older than all of you," he said, "But I am likely not wiser than you. I can see that you're all training to be hunters and huntresses. That is far more fighting than I have ever presumed to do without my laboratory's arsenal." Suddenly, out of nowhere, he stood straight, slamming the point of the walking stick on the floor, a clang resounding throughout the cabin.

"Which is why," he said, standing straight, "Our first priority is finding out where in Vacuo we are, picking a direction, and walking. Aurea, was it? I only slightly overheard your speech from outside. You're leading. You don't get a choice. I have age, you have experience. I hope you're ready." Nikolai sighed, slouching again, leaning against the wall.

"And my name is Nikolai T. Galbenis, Ph.D. Very nice to meet you all."
