Welcome to Orongo
Once those who decided to go along on the mission were gathered on the Obs Deck and had time to go over the mission briefing, the detachment procedures began.
As with the missions before, the doors to the Obs Deck closed before it detached itself from Stacy, tethered by a massive umbilical cord. Those who had been on missions before would find the experience familiar if still somewhat unpleasant, but for those of whom this was their first mission, the sudden lack of gravity and lurching feeling as they entered the atmosphere would come as a surprise.
Thankfully though, the ride was quickly over as they landed safely on the planet below, the gravitational dampeners of the Obs Deck gently dropping the crew members back on their feet. One of the walls opened up, forming a ramp to the ground below. There was a sudden, slight gust of air as the door opened as the thick air rushed in. Even so, the air felt quite warm and refreshing.
Looking outside, the crew would see the bright yellow sun looming overhead, quite close in comparison to the sun on most planets. A handful of small, silver clouds dotted the blueish purple sky.
Ahead of them stood a rather impressive looking plateau, surrounded by a tall, ornate stone wall which was covered in tribal markings. Directly ahead was a large gate through the wall, with several small stone buildings in front of it. Beyond the gates, a larger settlement could be seen. Surrounding the plateau and covering the surrounding region were numerous strange, blue and purplish trees and plants.

"I just have one question at the moment. Is participation in the joining ritual mandatory after we have been judged?"
He's...just a little nervous, because certain clues in the vicinity have pointed to the possibility that it's far more intimately involved than he's comfortable with. The happy couples leaving 'join'? And there are festivities? Definitely a possibility that he won't like it.

Billy had to consider how to phrase this carefully. He didn't want to offend the people, but how far would this go? One glance back at Ronnie reassured him enough to keep talking.
"I'm not holy in any sense," Billy explained rather quickly. Him as a holy man---ha! "I've just been taught by past experience to worry about what this might entail. I apologize."

He tugged at Billy's shirt and passed Billy his omnicomm, which had the question, "What happens if you fail at the judging thing?" written on it.

"So what do you think this might be?"

"Everyone coming and going appears to be happy, but all we've been told is that we'll need a partner we trust and care about. I believe I have one, but I don't know what we need to do. We'll try our best, though."
Pause. Right, time to ask the omnicom question. "But if we fail the judgment, what happens to us?"
no subject
He chuckles at the thought.
"If you fail the Ritual of Judgement, you will be asked to stay outside. That is all."

Well, it helps somewhat.Time to turn to Alex and discuss things.

Instead he turned to fiddling with his zipper. Billy was just surrounded with nervous 17 year olds.

He placed one hand on each of their shoulders and squeezed.
"I think we'll be all right. We have people we can trust and a strong team. Given the attitudes of the people coming and going, Cargn, and the locals...I don't think it will be terrible."

Billy looked more confident than he felt, but he was somewhat confident. They were all together.
