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.

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.

Axl, being seemingly incapable of just sitting properly in any of the Obs Deck couches like a normal person, had climbed onto the back of one of the couches and was sitting on top with his legs crossed.

"Comply with any demands? That sounds like it's just waiting to blow up in our faces."

"Don't worry," Cargn said, walking up to the young Maverick Hunter. "The Moai are typically reasonable people, beyond their requests to undergo the rituals."

"Well, as long as those rituals aren't gonna be anything really weird like making everybody suck the blood out of a wounded puppy or something, I guess we're cool."

"What's wrong with that?"

Karis honestly sees nothing wrong with such a task.

"I like puppies."

A pause. "Intact, I mean."

"They're OK. Usually need some salt, though."

Karis grins nastily.

"Well. Different strokes for different folks, I guess."
