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.

"Oh yeah, I'm super shiny with it, and oh right, just for around here. Right."

He flashed a tentative smile back, but he couldn't entirely hide his disappointment at it just being something on this planet. But this wouldn't be right anyway. There should be rings and proposals, and Sam being his best man and shit. This wasn't even eloping in Vegas with an Elvis impersonator bringing Kaylee down the aisle.

The disappointment was hard to miss, however hard Dean tried to hide it. Kaylee bit her lip and slid her hand down into his, then offered him a small smile.

"Ain't gonna push you if you don't want it, bao bei, you know that. One step at a time, alright?"

Dean gave her hand a squeeze back, and a smile before he leaned over to kiss her.

"Got it. We're a pretty badass couple, we can handle it."

Kaylee smiled into the kiss, and wrapped her other arm around his waist to pull him closer. He would be alright with it, eventually.

"My thoughts exactly."
