After a few more minutes of waiting and slowing flying towards the planet the voice came back "OK Maranda you're cleared to land at Alpha City's main port. Sorry we were not expecting you for another week or so. Anyway, follow the Orbital Signal Relay down. Corvus Control out."Summer easily spotted the locator beacon on the sensors display and piloted the ship towards it. Within about hour they were entered orbit over the half frozen world and started their decent. Alpha City showed up on the display as being located around the equator. Most of the northern hemisphere was covered in ice while the southern half of the planet looked like open plains with a reddish-yellow uniformity to it and a few small mountain ranges. There were two small oceans located there above a large southern ice caps. As the Maranda drew closer Alpha City came into view... an ugly industrial city surrounded by ash covered snow. Many of the towering stacks appeared to be atmospheric processors while the remainder were probably mineral extractor plants.   [sblock=Alpha City][ATTACH]101074[/ATTACH][/sblock]   The primary landing area is a walled off area east of the city proper. Summer's brought the ship down without problems and the team noticed a group of Chenzua security guards standing a safe distance back. They, along with human male wearing more causal attire, approach the ship looking to meet the team near the Maranda's debarking ramp.[sblock=Administrator Damian Atos][ATTACH]101075[/ATTACH][/sblock]The man stepped forward as soon as the team appeared at the ramp, nodding his head and holding out his hand in welcome "Mighty glad to see you folks. I'm the Chief Administrator here, Damian Atos. Welcome to Corvus."The team notices it was fairly cold outside, not much above freezing and much colder then most equatorial locations had any right to be...[gm]The pure Humans on the team - Marx, Angel and Summer - each get +5 XP from coming to a new planet. Everyone also gets +5 for the Role-playing and such so far. I would prefer we wait to spend it but if you have a good explanation (like you have been studying on the way here, etc) maybe [/gm]</blockquote>
