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.

But she let those thoughts get pushed away to the back of her mind and pulled the cube out of her pocket. "I went to Engineering and had this made for you - it's a hologram recorder." She handed it over briskly, a little embarrassed. "Sorry for being a jerk, I guess. Press play."

The image that projected from the small holo-cube was one that Trudy had painstakingly set up in the Sensoriums. She'd had to be pretty stealthy since, in most simulations, the young draconians were climbing all over her within seconds of seeing her. But she'd finally managed to capture about two minutes of the four of them together - wrestling, chasing dust, and generally being adorable.

His children.
He watched for the entire two minutes without moving or saying a word, and when it switched off, he slowly looked down at the cube. "You had this made for me?"

She was smiling, though. It felt good to know that he was a little happier.

Even though she had known he probably wouldn't still be mad by the time everything got finished, she still felt the need to apologize.

Digging a deeper hole here. "Anyway you've had a run of shitty luck with the missions and that probably didn't help. Just accept it, okay?"
There was a definite note of 'could we please stop talking about embarrassing emotional shit before I implode?'

"At least the planet and the people here seem alright, even with the screwed up rituals."

Trudy thought this whole mission was bullshit, thanks.

She'd take Kang's word for him because Kang was trustworthy, and he had good judgment. But Trudy had only ever seen him walk around being mysterious and keeping his mouth shut. This time might have been a little funny, but who was to say what that guy thought should be common knowledge?
