Stacy's voiced called the entire crew, until all of them were gathered at the Obs Deck. Then, a dossier appeared on the screens, along with the image of a rotating planet.
Planet Designation: Geartopia
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Homo Sapiens, Homo Animalia, Machina Erectus.
Water: 20.6% of the planet's surface.
Climate: Earth-like, Arid desert
Landscape: 70% Desert..
Air: Normoxic concentration.
Air Pressure: 101.3 kPa (kilopascals) = 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch)
Sky: Blue
Sun: A class G2V, yellow star.
Warnings: Wildlife, humanoids and plant-life can be hazardous.
Mission: Find out of town mayoress Nomalanga's suspicions of foul play are correct. Full shore leave will initiate once this is problem is resolved.
Once the entire team was ready, they were whisked of to the planet with little fanfare, their ship landing close to a town, where a woman...well not quite a woman, but a cross between a woman and a hyena dressed in a strange outfit, greeted them along with three other figures behind her. They had arrived near the end of the day, and the sun was beginning to set behind them, staining the sky a deep orange color.
She greeted them with a bow and a wave.
"I think you for coming 'ere just barely an 'our after I send out my distress signal." She mentioned for them to follow her, while the three other figures remained behind.
"I will make this quick, as we are short on time. My name is Nomalanga, and I'm mayoress of Utorian, 'ave been for the past five years. We have asked for a small team to aid us cause some of Snidley's damn dogs have been trying to upsurge the town from my grasp. "e's was the mayor before me, but was removed for having no 'onor. He still has control of some sections of the town due to loyalty and fear, and some townsmen still suspects I threw 'im out to get more power. Now 'e's trying to regain it all, but I have no proof except for a tip I was given by one of my own that says the attack's in two days and there's enough clues stuffed in the 'aunted cave to get the entire town behind me."
She pointed to a cavern on the far left, covered by the dunes of soil and desert sand.
" 'Alf the townsfolk believe the place to be filled with ghosts at night so no one enters unless they have to. But during the day we go in and get our supplies of underground water. The entire place is a maze. I wish I could 'ave send the distress beckon sooner, but we had problems with space pirates recently."
"There is also another problem...the tip also told me one of my own three is a spy. If you could also find out which one, we could end the terrible man's grasp on the town and myself. I am pretty sure they already suspect that I have doubts, but you may find clues inside the cavern. You can also speak to them and ask a few questions, but you should get into the cavern as soon as possible, as not to get too many ghosts attacking you. And there are also men-eating bears spotted inside. My people are strong, but our technology is nothing compared to yours. Once we have more time I can explain to you how I was able to contact you at all. But for now, I can supply you with guns and torches, if you don't have any."
She seemed like a truthful woman, even if her speech was strange and spoke of someone who had lived a harsh life, despite the clothing she wore.
"My three don't trust you at all, due to our stance with outsiders and our last distress signal falling into pirate ears. I understand if you refuse, but if you accept I will make it worth your while, and the rest of your comrades on your ship will be welcomed with open arms one justice and truth is brought to light. My people do not have much but we can offer clothing and animals from our lands in exchange for your services."

Maybe there was just less water down here, or it wasn't as pleasant tasting as the other stuff. That'd be important to people who weren't pyromancers, that much she knew.

The first and most important thing, was, before she even tried using pyromancy (imprecise here at best, and she really didn't want to dump what was in the bucket, out), was looking for a rope. Or maybe one of the other buckets had a rope she could use to try and fish it out.
Otherwise, this was prooooobably gonna hurt. A lot.
no subject
Just a matter of not accidentally getting whatever is in there wet.
no subject
This was one of them.
She wrapped one end of the rope around her wrist, checking it to be sure it was all sound, and checking the hook to be sure it wasn't about to break or snap off the rope, either. Since it seemed good enough, Ellyn approached the well again, leaning over it, and letting the rope snake its way down.
Slowly, she played the game of "catch the handle with the hook". It was probably the most patient she'd been in years.

Not top on her list.
Slowly, she went hand over hand with the rope, until she could grab the bucket and bring it over to the outside of the well, looking to see what it contained.
no subject
There are three names on it.
Lioness Tavern
Beer Pub
Red Rose

Still, it looked like the cave curved past the well a little way. Even if all Ellyn found were more bat-puffballs, it was probably worth a look.
Tucking the paper into the cigar case in her robe, she delved further into the cave.

Ellyn leaned in, hoping her presence would make them move. Not that she really had any idea as to what made them cluster like that. Still, they really were cute. Even she had to admit it. She didn't want to hurt them, just see if they were covering anything that might be more evidence.
no subject
And no clues behind them.
Now she had about a colony of ten little creatures huddling on her.
no subject
"Yer prolly not gonna wanna stay there," she said. But, she figured that if she heated up, they'd probably leave anyway. The pyromancer wasn't about to burn them, after all!
Underneath it all, seemed like she did have a heart. "I'd take some o'ya with me if I thought I could, but yer Wild Ones might not like that much. Ya b'long here, after all."
Not that the bats were actually listening to her chatter, as she moved along.
no subject
All but one who stubbornly remained on her shoulder.
no subject
The others were, hopefully, at the mouth of the caverns, and so that was where she was heding.
