While the small transport wasn't anywhere near the size of the Talon or the Gemstar, there was enough room for all of you and it was small enough that it had more of a chance to go unnoticed.Truthfully, there wasn't much to be said, and so Master Kanas was mostly quiet as he sat in the pilot's chair and started the ship up. As the drives warmed up, he turned to look back in the cabin where most of you were and said, "Now I only got a cursory view of the area, so I can't say how the defenses are or if there are any. Either way, I'm going to set down a good distance out if you all can survive a walk. I'll keep the sublight engines warmed and the comm channel open, so if you need to get out like yesterday, I shouldn't be nearly as long."A minute later and the ship was flying over the forests. The cabin itself had no viewports, so your only way to see where you were was through the main viewport in the cockpit. The forests didn't end as the ship got closer to the pole(which was still covered in trees, though it was a bit colder than the rest of the planet...but not by much), but they did thin out somewhat. Instead of the endless tracks of trees making the ground look a lush and bright green, here you could see the dirt and undergrowth without too much trouble, and so there was more variety in the colours below.And then, in a large plain of noticeably lower elovation that was off near the horizon line, you saw what was definitely not natural. Even in the darkness of night, you could see bright floodlights scattered across an area mulitple kilometers wide. And from the lights, you could see the reflections of metal 'structures' of various shapes and sizes. It was too far away and too dark to make out any kind of detail, though, so they could have been anything from buildings to starships to some kind of gigantic metallic monster straight out of a holodrama.Master Kanas brought the small ship in fairly close, to the point where you could see what had to be a large wall, before bringing the ship down in a section of slightly denser trees. You couldn't see the wall from there, but that was likely only because of the darkness. However, before setting down, you all got a fairly good view of the area. The metal things were lined up in perfect rows, though height and general size was still very random throughout. There didn't seem to be an end in sight, though, and from the looks of it, the walled in area stretched for kilometer upon kilometer across the pole.If it was something that was trying to be hid, whoever had decided how to hide it should have their head examined.((VP/WP info about to be posting in the OOC thread.))</blockquote>
