"I wouldn't know, but are you sure you don't want any help snow shoveling?" She didn't want to appear lazy or rude, eating while Tara was hard at work.

*Tara shook her head.* "Don't worry about it. I'm used to doing this every morning by myself. Besides, you'll need your energy for the ride to Echo Base."

"If you say so." Reisa walked down the hall and opened the grey container. She opened it and heated it with the force. She started eating, it was good and her cold empty stomach made her feel queasy.

*Tara put on her gloves and pulled her hood over her head before grabbing her shovel and heading for the entrance to the tunnels. It didn't take her long to shovel the snow out of the doorway and head outside. The freezing wind blew around her as she made her way around the hill that surrounded the entrance, clearing snow off of the solar panels that powered her small heating system. As soon as she was finished, she went back inside to put up the shovel and see if Reisa was ready to leave.*

Reisa finished the meat and noticed Tara coming down the hall. "So, are we leaving now?"

*Tara nodded.* "If you're ready. Let me get some supplies, just in case we find the parts you need. It won't be easy work to get them back to your ship, especially with how long they've been without heat to keep them from icing over." *She looked at the shovel in her hand and decided that it might be a good idea to bring it along. At that thought, she crossed the room to grab a plasma torch as well, just in case they should need to thaw anything out. She jogged down the tunnel to the cavern next to the tauntauns', grabbing the single sled that her father had once crafted to hitch to the tauntauns. She dragged it to the tauntauns and tied the sled to Zara since she was the strongest. After double-checking to make sure that it was secure, and placing the shovel, torch and a blaster rifle on the sled, she looked to Reisa.* "That should do it. Ready to go?"

"Yes." Reisa made sure her blasters and lightsaber were safely tucked away. "So, um, which one should I...."

*Tara smiled from beneath her face scarf.* "Stick with Miri. I'll take Dax and we'll let Zana pull the supplies. Is your droid going to come with us or stay here?"

"He better come, he might be useful." She put on her goggles and mask, and exhaled. Reisa put her foot in the stirrup and mounted, almost losing her balance, which she quickly righted. "Righty then, which way?"

*Tara laughed softly.* "Just hang on tight and follow me." *With that, she mounted Dax and gave him a nudge in the side. They started off down the tunnel and Miri immediately fell in step, followed by Zana. Once they were out of the entrance, the tauntauns set off at a run across the snow. The sun was up by now and the temperature was starting to rise a little as they made their way toward Echo Base.*

Reisa swore to herself, once she got off Hoth, if at all possible, she would never ride a living thing again. She was getting the hang of it, but she seriously doubted if this sort of thing would ever be an enjoyable experiance. Chancing a glance behind her, she saw R6 was keeping up rather well. She noticed a unusually shaped mound coming closer and shouted to Tara, "Is that Echo Base?"

*Tara looked to Reisa and nodded. Now that the sun was high enough and the temperature warmer, she dared to take down her face scarf to speak clearly.* "Echo Base has a large network of tunnels and caverns with a few entrances. Luckily, the Rebels evacuated so quickly that they left the doors open to the hangers. This should be one of the larger transport hangers up ahead."

Reisa shifted, being in the same position for very long was uncomfortable,"So, how many ships do you think are left?"

*Tara shook her head.* "I don't know... I haven't done too much exploring around here... I don't know if there are any at all. All I know is what my father told me about the place and what I've seen from the outside... I suppose we'll just have to figure things out on our own."

"Great, exploration." This, Reisa could do. As they approached the hangar's door, they dismounted. R6, a little ways behind caught up to them and when he stopped, he slid several feet before falling down. "Blast it, R6," Reisa said as she hurried to help him up.

*Tara laughed softly at the little droid.* "Hoth doesn't get along well with machines." *She gave her tauntaun a brief pat on the head before grabbing the reins. She led the tauntauns into the shelter of the hanger, leaving them by the entrance where they would hopefully be safe. She grabbed the gear from the sled, swinging the rifle over her shoulder and handing the plasma torch to Reisa while she took the shovel.* "Come on. We'll have to work fast if we don't want to wind up spending the night here."

"Alrighty then," Taking the torch from Tara she made sure her blasters were loose and easily accessible.
((Are we going to find something or not?))

((It's up to you... If we do, Reisa can start repairing her ship. If we don't, she'll have to wait for the next band of smugglers or pirates. Whatever you want to do. However, I do think a bit of danger would be fun either way... I think I have something planned for our poor little characters.))
*Tara began walking into the hangar, but as she suspected, there were no ships there. She hadn't expected to find one. If the hangar doors were open, that likely meant that the ship inside made it out all right. Still there were other hangers around that might not have been so lucky. The back of the large cavern was dark, so Tara pulled a mini lamp from her coat, holding it up to peer into the shadows. There was a scrap pile in one corner, but nothing else.* "I don't know what it is that you're looking for, but there's a pile of metal over here that might have something in it. You'd have better luck in one of the other hangars though."

"Ok, then where are the other hangars?"
((How 'bout a cave in?))

((lol. That's scary... That's exactly what I had planned.))
"I'm guessing we'll find them if we explore the tunnels..." *Tara pointed to the tunnel opening at the corner of the hangar.* "Come this way..." *She made her way toward the tunnel entrance, looking down it cautiously before stepping inside.*
