As Stacy's shuttles bring the crew down, they're treated to the sights of massive mountains to dwarf even the mightiest Earth mountain range and golden, green and purple grain fields that take up more space than some entire civilizations have managed to colonize. The shuttles finally settle at the primary port city, Rura, which is ideally situated near and equidistant to a sprawling ocean, the base of a mountain range and a swath of farmland.

The people of Agrestic, including humans, Helians, Kanil, and plenty of other races, are for the most part hard at work and rushing from place to place. Very few pay much attention to Stacy's shuttles, as travelers stopping at this city and incredibly commonplace. Those that aren't working are relaxing, unencumbered by technological gadgets - while the technology here is very advanced, it seems primarily used to aid workers in their duties, and not for leisure. Fresh produce brought into the market is scanned by tiny mechanical beetles that inspect each piece for defects, but the children are more likely to be playing with sticks and rocks than anything else.

The crew exits the shuttles to find themselves at a large air-port like building, which opens up to a farmer's market and a strip of restaurants. As they exit the shuttles, some of the human port workers apologize for any inconvenience.

"We're sorry you couldn't bring the whole ship down, but the Truce specifically forbids Daligig to enter our airspace. You're lucky we managed to get clearance for shuttles of Daligig make to come in!" they say, before rushing off to help the next arrivals.

To return to the ship, a crew member may enter a shuttle and the autopilot will zip them back up to Stacy's underbelly. The crew may make as many trips back and forth as they like.

[OOC: This post itself will be for interactions with NPCs. Please do not set up subthreads in this post unless you are an NPCer. If you would like to create a new location on Agrestic, or do an open/closed log on the shore leave, please set up your own log. This will make it easier for our NPCers to know where they're needed.]

Kaya sighed. "I should have known better. I guess I wasn't sure what exactly the rules are in regards to something like that. But we don't have to stay here...if you're willing to talk about that at all."

After this, Kaya would say no more on the subject aloud, but she was, after all, still looking for whatever she could use.

Lily gave her another tight smile. "I'm glad you understand. Here. This is for you. Maybe you'll get a little more use out of it than I did."

She tossed Kaya the book she'd been reading -- a dogeared tome titled 'Titan Shrugged'. Then she got up and made her way back up the street, perhaps back to an apartment, or out to a cafe.

Kaya grabbed the book, watching her leave. had she said something wrong? How far did all of this actually go, where the Daligig had spies everywhere?

What exactly were they going to do when the time came?

In any case, she opened the book, at the very least to see what exactly she had been reading.

Inside the book was a folded piece of paper with a brief inscription, written in delicate cursive.

There are more dangerous people out there than the Ohm. They don't care about us. They don't care about you.

But there are more of us than you think. You're not alone.

Your friend Yavek is not to be trusted.

Kaya read the the note, making sure to keep her face even. She was like this a few minutes, feigning a turn to the next page even though she was actually rereading the note again and again. After a few minutes, she got up and calmly walked off, not hurrying, just walking at a relatively casual pace. The idea, after all, was that she maintained nothing was wrong, that nothing happened.

But she DID know she was going to have to find a way to get this information to the right people. With most of the heads of the departments gone, sadly, this narrowed her choices down a bit.
