Smiley wasn't in his comfort zone. He was no scientist, he didn't know if he would be of help and he was freaking cold. He still had a mild hangover from last night when he drank too much bloody mary's. He tought he could facilitate the other and suggested to them if he could inspect the living area. "Hey folks, what if I check out the living area, make sure we have a place to cook and somewhere to sleep?"
Lucas was talking with William about small things when they finally landed. He is still checking out the others, because this is the first time they work together. He always does this, because this is part of his job and part of his nature. So far the only one he really likes is William. The man is a little weird, but otherwise good company. He doesn't trust Smiley from the start, Caroline is very reserved and hard to read and Jake is just a grunt as most soldiers are. He figures he will check out the garage area first to check why the dogs fled that area. "Ok, go ahead. I will go to the garage. Anyone wants to join me?"
"Yeah, I will!" Jake replied. He doesn't like the vagueness of the mission and he wants to have clear goals. Jake wants to stretch his legs and the dog kennel is something familiar. Jake likes dogs, knows them well and maybe his tracking skills might be in handy. "Hey, dude, maybe I will tell you some good war stories while we are at it!" He pats Lucas on the back starts walking.
"William, will you come with me?" Caroline asked. "I might need you when I expect the labs. I also want to inspect the generator. Maybe the generator first indeed." Caroline is already feeling the pressure. She has plenty to do and is the only scientist on the team who might know what all the lab equipment is for. She is also the only technician who can repair the generator if needed.
"Sure." William replied. "I have nothing better to do. Don't worry, doll. I will support you in any way you need. I might even get you a cup of tea, hihi." William is in a funny mood. He likes weird jobs like this and lives every day like it's his last. He is very laid back, talking a lot, making jokes and meanwhile showcasing his encyclopedic knowledge about various subjects.
