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.

Steve turned instantly pink.

"I was just curious!" he said instantly. "I mean, we're way too young to get married! We only just started dating not long ago. It's definitely too early for us to think about that."

More maroon, now. "I never thought about getting married. Most boys don't really."

"R-right! Far, far too early!" Miku pushed her bangs out of her eyes and pointed to some place that was far, far away, pink as pink could be. "I think... I think I'm going to just, go over there and see what needs to be done. A-And then I'll come back!"

Yep, smooth as silk.

"Aaah... okay." Good job Steve! Scared her off! He brushed his hair out of his eyes again just for something to keep him from freaking out.

"I-I'll wait here then! So you- do you really want to get fake married?"

Miku stopped her hasty retreat and smiled at him, "Of course!" At least they didn't have to give out thank you-for-coming gifts at the end, right?

"Okay." He smiled a bit in relief. He wasn't sure what he was relieved about, really, since it wasn't a real wedding after all, so he wouldn't have been offended if she said no...

"Well... cool. This'll be kind of neat, I think. And then we get to go on the mission together."
