[Interesting new plant samples are the one purely good thing about this whole space adventure, so naturally Kurama's in the landing party. And what samples! Even if everything's tried to kill or incapacitate them so far, he can't be too annoyed when there's fun new things like these giant purple oranges to be found. He pulls one from a tree, the fruit as big as a volleyball in his hands, and sniffs it carefully. It smells too sweet, the same way all the fruits do, but he hasn't had a wide enough sampling yet to recognize what nuances might indicate what it'll do to whoever tries to eat it.
They could take it back for proper testing, but they're far enough out that it would be more efficient to just try it themselves--provided, of course, that the effects of this particular fruit don't escalate from those they've already tried. Kurama looks at his companion, holding the orange in both hands.]
Do you want to try it, or shall I?
003: Someone Call Kenny Loggins
[Kurama's not scared, exactly. This poor mutated soul is hardly the first time he's faced such a high risk of certain death, and it's not the most skilled at concealing its presence, so for all that he's essentially being attacked by an alien, there are a reassuringly small number of unknown variables. No, scared wouldn't be the word for it. "Concerned" might be more accurate, or "worried", or "annoyed that it couldn't wait until we'd reached somewhere unpopulated".
Because of course there's someone else in this stretch of hallway. Although Kurama doesn't recognize them, the idea of letting an innocent bystander get hurt holds little appeal; when the unfortunate space zombie (let's call him Gary) lunges, Kurama darts around just beyond his reach and calls out some helpful advice.]
Go warn the rest of the ship!

[How could I forget a wildcard option? Anything else that strikes your fancy, and feel free to toss prose at me if you prefer!]
