Becoming an animal had probably been the most difficult thing that he could have asked for. Probably never a sentence that he would think he would be having himself say in the first place. But here he was now and he had no idea how to get back to being a human. The Freelancer was trying his damn best to figure out exactly what he can do, but there were a limited amount of options. If he had to technology that they had on the ship that exploded, then his life would be a whole lot easier. Maybe even having an AI that he could use. Although he wasn't sure about that either because he would want an AI to stay as far away from him as much as possible. It was because of those damn things that they had messed with his head probably beyond repair. He was glad the counselor wasn't anywhere near him to be able to analyze his current mental health. He wanted to stay as far away from that as much as possible. Either way, he was still having plenty of troubles with what he was.
He was quick to discover the animal instincts that he wasn't used to having. Such was when he would see a rabbit come out of the bushes, all his mind would tell him would to run after the thing and try to kill it. He absolutely refused to eat anything like raw meat, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to stomach the idea of eating something like that anyway. The Freelancer would much rather eat something that had been an MRE than the likes of a deer leg or even something else. Difficult yes, but those that lived around here in this outpost had helped him a lot from starving himself. Instead of eating the likes of raw meat, he ate the meat that was dried out, basically making it into jerky. Jerky was something that he was used to. It was a rare commodity that was for sure, but it was sure something that he remembered eating in the past. And because of that, he didn't starve to death. His problems weren't exactly over though, as now instead of just having to deal with himself, he was going to have to deal with Carolina too.
Which was easier said than done. He knew in his mind that there was no way to control the fellow Freelancer. She was more than capable of breaking his arm, something she made adamant when she first laid eyes on him and basically tackled him to the ground with ease despite their size difference. Agent Washington had expected that from another Freelancer if they were going to appear, but he didn't think that Carolina had actually been Carolina having lacked her armor in the beginning. He was going to have to follow her around to make sure that no one started trouble with her. He doubted that Carolina would try to start a fight over something completely ridiculous, so that's why he was there. Not to try and stop Carolina but to stop whoever she was arguing with. Exhausting yes, but he was going to have to get used to it. The feeling of having someone that went through what he went through counteracted any bad feelings that he had about the leopard. He had been following Carolina, lagging behind slightly just because of his exhaustion.
He, of course, had heard the screams for help somewhere along the way, and soon he was standing next to the leopard looking at the cat that was up a tree. It was completely ironic and funny. Although if he had tried to climb a tree, being the size of a lion with armor attached to him, there would be no way he would be capable of doing as such. It was funny enough that he let out a little bit of a chuckle from his jaws. But the other stuck up in the tree was in good hands. He probably would help, since Carolina hadn't given him an order to go do something right now so he had a limited amount of free time at his disposal. He had been about to look at Carolina for the way that she had been talking until she corrected herself and did a little bit better. Good. He wasn't her parent though, so he wasn't going to treat her like a child and tell her how to act around others. He looked away from Carolina back to the female that was up in the tree. It almost reminded him of his house cat back home. Loki. The cat having basically nine lives because he got caught in terrible situations. He flicked his short tail and didn't have any reason to say anything, and instead stood at the ready for anything. "speech"
