End Briefing - Separation and Deployment

||Mission briefing complete.||

Tentacles sweep through the room and grab all of the people not on the machine, suddenly, pulling through through the door, out of Obs Deck.

Tentacles grab the people on the mission and refused to let them go leave. The doors seal, those with power suits have said suits get pulled out from nowhere, have morphers handed to them, and the tentacles start to dress them in them, even if the dampening field won't let them activate yet. Terry, Chief, Samus, and Billy find themselves approaching something close to normalcy again.

||Approaching the target planet.|| Stacy's voice says on the comm and the ship shudders as it slows and the swirling light of space travel dwindles down to the simple black of the void, of stars streaking past.

In the distance, a star gets brighter and brighter, larger and larger as they approach, a great red dwarf, burning with a orange-red glow, and a speck near it grows until they can make out little swirls of color on its surface, like it's a marble floating around in nothing.

That marble starts to fill their view, growing until they can see the planet clearly below them, as the ship's orbit (which is crooked and slightly cock-eyed over what is likely the northern hemisphere of the planet) is established.

The atmosphere is full of thin white clouds, and darker ones in other places, crackling with electricity. The land below varies in color, from stark white at the very tips of the poles, like ice, to sandy tans and desert reds, and vibrant greens, to the blue-blacks of the oceans.
