Red's breath left her mouth in a plume of frosty vapor. Banded eyes studying the cloud as it drifted further away from her body, it was the first time that Red had ever been at such a high altitude without some sort of machine controlling her environment. Even as it was she was standing just a few feet from the landing ramp of a stealth ship whose temperature made it so that you couldn't even feel the cold wind that was whipping up a gale around them. She could hear her two companions still straightening things out and moving around behind her.
Instead of joining them Red just glanced down towards her own pack, containing various measuring devices and most importantly a set of magnification visors, allowing the group of gems to scan the sector that they had been ordered to search. After double checking the multitude of objects that she had brought to make the mission easier Red finally turned around and strode over to the two others. Stopping just a few steps away from Rhodolite and Cobalt, before speaking up; almost yelling over the howling wind "We've got a bit of a walk before reaching the proposed listening post. There's a lot of wild animals and maybe even corruptions before we are safe within monitored space, so if we need to communicate-" handing over an 'ear'piece which would attach itself to the gems head and pass along any vocal commands or comments "-use these, at least until we reach the connecting cave".
Confident that the two were competent enough to attach the earpieces; at least Rhodolite was she guess, this was still very much a training run for the other gem; Red turned away and slid a holo-visor over her unique eyes. Inside of them, a boot-up screen appeared, loading the map that had been programmed onto them. After the bar filled up the black screen disappeared, being replaced by the normal view of stretching mountain tops and snow covered ridges that were all around their landing point. A second later the entire screen was filled with words listing out their mission parameters and lines pointing Red towards important terrain features that would lead them to their goal.
