"Going where I list, my own master total and absolute" (Part 2 - Diplomacy, Tourism, and Processing)

The trip down was uneventful. The view was gorgeous when the viewing window shields were raised again when they were through the atmosphere, especially as they passed down to Megalopolis, the simply-named giant city that was this world's capital. To the Earthlings there, the continents of this world would look vastly familiar, but that didn't mean anything, did it?

Eventually the sparkling city spires of the mega-city, interspersed with flying traffic, rose up to meet them, and Obs Deck, attached by its massive shielded umbilical cord, deposited them at the Council's private spaceport. It retreated back up to Stacy after they'd disembarked.

This world was a gorgeous world, that much they could likely tell while standing there on the landing pad, looking at the rounded curves of the beautifully designed spaceport. Buildings rose up above them in shades of white, paneled with multi-colored glass, in creative architectural designs. The air traffic weaved neatly in endless lines between buildings, and the overcast sky was in shades of orange and pink, with occasional slips of a bright blue peeking through.

The Council of Five was waiting for them in person, clearly glad to see them all, dressed in resplendent clothing.

"Welcome to the Megalopolis, our capital city, and welcome to Galilee. We are the Council of Five, and we're honored by your presence."

Doc had hung back watching with interest as everyone was shuffled through being scanned, soaking up the details of the process as much as he could and taking mental notes. The whole thing was fascinating, but that aside it reminded him bizzarely of being patted down for weapons, albeit very very tiny ones.

Once through the scans he followed along with the others that had split off to accompany Allin. He was curious about the whole place, wanted to split in three and get a look at all angles of the world. But, well, first things first. The city would be there when negotiations finished.

As the councilmen continued to talk, Lash passed her own medical exam, surprisingly not debating it even if a small voice in her mind kept telling her something about this wasn't completely right. She let it pass, spitting out as instructed.

"Tingly."

The task done, she stood waiting on the side, arms crossed, trying her hardest to appear natural as she looked around and tried to figure out everything around them...without making a scene.
