October 14th, 2142, 1932 (Local time*), Tau Ceti Five
[occ]* local time is based on GMT Earth Standard but the length of the planets day is 25.4 standard hours.
Casper drives the ATAPC at an average 50 miles an hour over the savanna of the unnamed island. The star Tau Ceti is bright in the sky, slightly more white then Sol's. The grasslands here is more yellow then might be normal, and the lands here are rolling hills. There are occasional clumps of brushy like, stubby trees here and there but otherwise the land is fairly boring. If animals are seen, a few deer like creatures with long legs that leap high and away from your transport. Birds are spooked up or can be seen also. They look something like a cross between a lizard and a bat, and shrieking loudly when every they pass near by.
As the light of day begins to fade, you move into a lowland mountainous range, and Casper pulls the APAPC over at your drop-off point. Lt. Talavera says "Alright soldiers, from here you are hoofing it. While it should only take you six day, we have some leeway for you to make the mining camp. The map-board should take you right there. Be ready for anything though and good luck…"
Casper winks at Sneak before you head out and then the APAPC turns and heads back the way it came.
Alone on a strange planet, the Squad begins their mission on foot, on a planet with less then 2000 sentient beings on it right now…
