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.

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.]

"Yes, so I've heard," said Fuu. "It seems that the Daligig are not very well-liked on this planet. I'm a relatively recent draftee to the crew, however, so I don't know very much about why that is."

That was... somewhat true, if one didn't include rumors, suspicion, and speculation under things that one knew for certain.

"Really?" asked Lily, smiling. "I would think that as a crew member of that ship, you'd be more familiar with the topic than any of us down here."

After all, the Daligig weren't allowed on-planet. But they were allowed on Stacy.

"Well, I've heard things," Fuu admitted. "But I've never seen any of the Daligig in person. They seem to be quite reclusive." And controlling, and brutal. "I do wonder what it was that got them banned from setting foot on Agrestic."

"Beats me," said Lily. "You're better off asking an old-timer about that one. But are you sure you should be waltzing around asking questions of anyone you come across? I could be a Daligig agent, you know."

"Really?" Fuu smiled. "I guess I still need to break habits from home. In Japan, those questions wouldn't be unusual at all." Of course, the lady did have a point. And bringing up that point might only be a red herring to make herself not seem like a Daligig agent when she really was one. She'd take more care in framing her next questions.

"Are you a recent arrival, then, miss...? Although you could be a Daligig agent, even a fake name makes me feel less awkward."

Oh? Fuu was still going to ask her questions? Well, then. Maybe she could answer a few.

"Lily's fine. And you could say that. I'm not a native of this planet, anyway."

Lily. Fuu nodded--she'd gathered that from the woman's remarks on the red sky. It seemed there were quite a few immigrants to this world, but she had other things she wanted to know about.

"Do you know if there are any other vessels like Stacy, where the Daligig have drafted people to fight the Ohm? It's hard to tell how well-known we are in the multiverse."

She leaned back on the bench, smiling a little as she toyed with a lock of her hair. "Oh, sure. In fact, at least one of the Transmigrations came by this planet before. Of course, I wasn't there when it happened, so I couldn't tell you specifics."
