Alessia smirked she was liking this silence much better. She would eventually give her agent the ability to talk again, once Alessia had calmed down some more. When she got the message from her agent she sighed and spoke up. "Yes, we will be making camp soon in the tent. We're still a few days away from the first cache checkpoint." She continued to move forward through until they came to a nice ice shelf. The area they were in now had uneven green with small crevices everywhere. Alessia stopped the snowmobile next to one of the ice crevices before turning off the snowmobile.
She got off the snowmobile and did a quick stretch. "You may talk again. But watch your tongue, lest you want to sleep outside dog." Alessia walked to the edge of the crevice and looked down. It wasn't huge, only went down about ten feet into the ground. It was relatively thin but it would make for good cover against the harsh winds while they slept. Alessia turned to the side of the snowmobile and pulled off some of the survival supplies that were folded compactly into it. She first pulled out the tent and threw it down into the crevice before hopping down in after it.
At the bottom, she took some hooks out of the tent and started to put up a shelter in a different way it was meant to be used. The crevice was only a few feet wide so she put hooks in on each side before tying the tent to the hooks to make a sort of tarp above her head. While part of the tent was very taught over here, providing a roof from the wind, the rest of it fell down limply to create some very light walls. She took the extra hooks and hooked the loose parts of the tent into the walls of the crevice. It took her maybe half an hour to get the shelter set up, but once it was done it was more reliable than just the tent by itself. The floor was the ice and snow still, but the walls and roof above her head were the double layers of the unopened tent.
She walked out from the very small shelter. It was only six feet tall, three wide and six feet long. She looked at the top of the crevice before jumping and grabbing the top with her hand. Pulling herself up she looked at her Agent. "The shelter is set up. Should be slightly warmer than just using the tent out in the open. You hungry?"
