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.

"Good point. Maybe we can sneak in some espionage while we're down there..."

"Watch - the 'joining ritual' will include stripping us of any electronic devices we could use to record what we find down there." Anwei grinned back at Karis, her smile slashing back into her face almost to her ears. "We'll just have to keep our eyes open."

"Maybe we'll get lucky and the item we're getting has something to do with the defence system," Rachel added, looking over at the other two, though she wasn't exactly hopeful. It seemed more likely they'd have to take it if they wanted to use it, and it was probably useful. But she didn't need electronics for espionage, so the idea was appealing to her. She'd duck away to check things out first chance she got.

She would have preferred the kicking teeth in method to the rituals.
