"How exactly to you build a shelter, cause I have no idea." "I should have listened to Peter when he was telling me all that wilderness survival stuff." she thought to herself.

Andromeda tilts her head and ponders for a moment, trying to find an answer that wouldn't make her sound like too much of a show off.

"Well... Let's see. In this environment we're probably best off if we make a simple lean-to for now. We just need some protection against the chilling night winds and possible rain." The wolf says, gesturing towards the frame she was putting together earlier before adding "So... The next step is to lash those smaller sticks to the frame. If you'd like to help I could use a hand braiding some rope."

Beth nodded. “Oki doki!” She plopped down on the grass next to Andromeda and started to braid the rope. “So, where did you get your ship?” she asked, trying to make small talk. "It's pretty cool! I've never seen anything like it before! Well, except maybe in movies."

"It was issued to me when I graduated from the academy and began work." Andromeda says, reminiscing about her graduation day. Her face takes on a wistful expression as her thoughts travel through time.

The warm spring air hitting her face as she stood proudly in uniform for the first time... The feeling of accomplishment as she held her diploma high... The butterflies in her stomach as she realized her dreams were finally a reality. Every memory as clear as the day they happened.

"It's called The Perseverance." She adds when she snaps back into the present day

Beth smiled brightly as she noticed the wistful look on her new friend's face. "Cool!" She set down the braided rope, stood up, and stretched. "Is there anything else I can do to help?" she asked.

As Andromeda snapped out of her daydream she noticed the rope at Beth's feet. How long was I just sitting here!??!?! She wondered.

"Oh. Umm. You made quick work of that rope! Let's see...  Now that we have rope we are ready to lash -or tie- the smaller sticks to form a sort of grid on the frame I have here. Think you can manage that? If you can, I'll start working on the second and third frames!"

... The pair continued their work until they had three grids completed... Shortly afterwards they were joined by the rest of the group.
