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.

"Ah, so it's a double deal sort of thing. Nice to know." The Doctor looks like he's about to go on more in that vein when he suddenly gestures at the big wall and the gate. "Rather big wall you have there. Trouble in the past?"

He doesn't think it'd do much good against an alien species capable of swarming planets and destroying entire worlds, but he keeps that to himself. It's still a rather nice, pretty wall.

"Gimme a couple of demolishers, a team of Forsaken shock troops and we'd have it down in no time."

No one said Karis knew how to be diplomatic. Or cared to be.

"She's joking," the Doctor says quickly, trying to defuse the situation. "Very joking. So joking she might not even realize it. Big charmer, that one."

"Oh, aye, joking," mutters Jamie from where he's standing behind the Doctor. His arms are folded against his chest, and he's eyeing Karis a bit warily.

"Oh, yeah. Totally joking."

Karis laughs nastily.

So not joking.
