I forgot to mention this last chapter but the newest character (Charles 'duck' Studsworth) is inspired by one of my Xbox live friends. (I can't disclose any information, all that I can say is that his gamertag is mixed somewhere in his name.
Enjoy,

Aeryn was the first to awake, somewhat forgetting what had happened before they had fallen asleep she saw Charles and her position and squirmed away. After a moment her memory came back and she sighed and shivered lightly from the chill that hung in the air.
"Pilot, I sensed you had awoken. It seems you slept well." Benny said walking up to the container they had slept through the night in.
"I slept fine, although I think this is the first time in a while that Charles has slept with a woman, he seemed aroused multiple times throughout the night." Aeryn said with sexual thought that came to her head. She shook the thought out of her head before she took action.
"It would seem so" Hazel, Charles Northstar titan, said walking up. "And it has been over five years since he's had any sexual interaction, he's 23."
Aeryn looked at Charles "A year older than me, huh." she said as max woke up and saw her face and then kissed her. Aeryn pulled back and punched him, nearly breaking his nose.
"Agh, fuck, what the hell" Charles asked falling back and holding his nose.
"Why'd you kiss me?," Aeryn said standing up her fists balled up prepared to thwart off another attempt.
"For one, you were staring at me with a look of lust in your eyes," Charles explained, "And for two; you kept trying to get in my pants last night. If anyone should be punched, it's you."
Aeryn stepped back and then the realization of the wet dream she had last night. "I… I'm so sorry" She said blushing a violent red, and realized that her private time yesterday only deepened her lustful needs.
"It's fine" Charles said standing up removing his hand from his nose and sighed from the small amount of blood on his hand. "We better get going though"
"Agreed" Aeryn said picking up her weapons and her helmet. "Benny do you know where our mission objective is next"
"It is approximately 46 clicks east of here," Benny said.
"Wait, your part of the recon team. I was dispatched as apart of lastimosa's group, is it true that he's dead?" Charles asked as he gathered his items as well.
"Yes. He is, I found his burial mound, which, hopefully, he's been picked up and taken back home. And yeah I'm part of the recon team, I'm the only one left, my older brother was part of the group but he lost his titan and a few broken ribs. He's in the wreckage." Aeryn explained her voice filled with sorrow "The other two were married and died quickly. But they were the most experienced pilots in the group."
Charles nodded "I'm sorry about that." he said "Changing topics, do you think we could accompany you, we've tried to get transport out but HQ can't risk any more pilots for one."
Aeryn nodded, "yeah, of course, I wouldn't mind, and it would be nice to have a ranged titan in case me or Benny gets in trouble" she said then jumped into his cockpit.
"That would be the safest route of action, I would normally object to this type of idea, but in unknown territory," Benny said and Charles nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, since hazel can hover we can scout the area" Charles said and Hazels ocular system flashed and Benny flashed his in return.
"Then let's get going" Hazel spoke "This facility leads through the canyon, or we can continue in BT-7274's footsteps. That will take longer, but it is more reliable. Or the facility it will take a few days nonetheless, but it will drop us off at where he was last."
Aeryn nodded and Charles jumped up into Hazel's cockpit and with that they both agreed without words and continued through the facility.
