Marriage Planet
Stacy's voice came over the comm, blaring across the entire ship.
||Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention, all personnel...||
The mouth in the main sculpture on Obs Deck opened, revealing a screen with the image of a mottled blue and purple planet, rotating slowly.
Planet Designation: Gondepetil
Status: Terrestrial, H-class. Mass slightly larger than most Earths.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Yes.
Water: 88% of the planet's surface.
Climate: Similar to Earth's Mediterranean climate. Warm but hospitable. [Click here for cultural equivalents for non-Earth cultures.]
Landscape: Short trees and scrubs. Most mountains are plateaus, terrain is hilly and rocky on 65% of the land surface.
Air: Normoxic concentration: 25% oxygen, 65% nitrogen, 5% xenon, 5% trace gases, such as hydrogen, neon, krypton, and argon.
Air Pressure: 17.02 pounds per square inch. Heavier than ship's air pressure, but breathable.
Sky: Blue/purple with silver clouds.
Sun: A class G2V, yellow star. The planet is unusually close to its sun, but its ozone layer is fully capable of filtering out harmful radiation.
Mission: Spiritual elders of the local inhabitants are in possession of an artifact of great importance to the war against the Ohm. The crew will participate in the inhabitants' rituals of judgment and joining to enter the region known as the Sacred Mount, where the artifact is being stored. The crew is to negotiate with the spiritual elders to acquire this artifact. The crew is expected to comply with any of their demands in order to successfully complete negotiations.
Time for another mission, then.

She probably was. Just because she was sleeping with someone on a fairly regular basis didn't mean she stopped thinking about sex.

Complying with the demands of spiritual elders didn't make it any better. "Rituals of judgment and... joining?" she muttered to herself.

Re: Arrivals
But the Doctor chooses instead to focus on the rest of the message. So this was a mission brief. The Doctor had already decided before they reached the actual brief part that he's interested in coming. First of all, big, new planet with some lovely weather from the sound of it. Second, he's interested in those locals, and what, exactly, this artifact is. It doesn't sound terribly difficult to participate in some of the local rituals, especially since he's done it before. Maybe not in this dimension...or planet...or with these particular aliens...but yes. Shouldn't be too hard, right?
The Doctor's pacing about the Observation Deck, anxious to have his first trip in a new dimension on a new planet with new rituals. Big day for new things, it seems. It's rather like winning the lottery all at once.
He wishes Amy and Rory were here to see this. They seem to take well to participating in new, interesting rituals, provided they don't try to kill them or involve long romantic runs down corridors. (Honestly, it's not his fault they end up like that. It's just a bad track record.) Well, he supposes once they're out of the pods, he can always tell them himself.
It doesn't occur to the Doctor to look more closely at the fine print, and think that maybe the part that should interest him isn't "artifact" but "judging and joining".

He paused just inside the door, trying to get a better idea of what was happening. Iniss had avoided these things, but he wanted to go to the planet.
That meant risking whatever might be waiting on the planet as well.

Re: Arrivals
Whatever this entailed, he was damn well gonna get a piece of the action. At the moment, he didn't trust anyone else on the ship to not try to bargain the whatever-it-was to the Ohm for a false promise of peace.

Re: Arrivals
And it doesn't seem like too dangerous a mission, and Howard needs to build up some face in front of all these strangers. If it looks like the judgment's on strength of character, he'll quietly slip away - no one knows him well enough that his absence will be sorely missed. So he decides he'll go.
"Normoxic means still breathable, right?"

Maybe it meant to join them temporarily in order to obtain their trust! ...Okay, maybe not. It was a viable thought, at least.

He mills around, looking for people he knows to start the mission with. The "joining" portion suggests that having some friends around will be important.

He looms quietly at the edge of the crowd, arms crossed, seeing a few familiar faces, but not approaching any of them. Stacy awoke him in the middle of his sleep cycle, and he doesn't quite feel properly awake yet.
