NE Useful spoke from within the shuttle at the pilot station. “..So we ready to go yet?” He asked to the assembled away team that should only be made up of humans for the first going ons down to the planet.

“Good question.” David looked around. “We seem to be down a couple men.” He stepped over to a comms panel. [O]Lieutenant Solomon Kane and Ensign Alexander Blaze to the shuttlebay ASAP.[C]

”..Well no time like the present to head out right? All aboard!” NE Useful chimed in again returning to the pilot’s chair. Once everyone was aboard the shuttle departed and began its approach into the stormy planet. Immediately the shuttle was jostling a bit but nothing too concerning. “..Sorry about the turbulence, these storms are like a thick soup!” He said.
Then within a moment the jostling about died down by quite a bit, coming through the cloud cover the team could see not too far off a large lightening storm and rain cloud breaking hard over a nice sized village to the north of where they were going to be landing. Faint flickers of what might be fire were dotted here and there, and given they could just barely see them probably indicated they were a bit bigger then just your usual cooking fire. Above it on a high ridge was a quite large and dark looking Gothic styled castle. But then their approach of this view was taken from then by another encroaching cloud taking the village and castle from their sight.
”..Looks like the best landing site is about 3km from that village we saw which from the report I got also is near about to where those warp signatures were picked up. There’s a nearby road for wagons about 500 meters from the clearing we’ll be landing in. Maybe you can snatch a ride by a passing wagon or something..” He said as the shuttle began its final approach to a small clearing just barely big enough through the tree branches for the shuttle to fit. With a soft thud the shuttle touche down in the foggy depth of night. Scans of the are showed little life nearby beyond some small critters though with the deep fog hanging nearby among the woods and the swaying of branches and bushes it was almost like the shadows were alive......likely just a trick of the minimal light from their shuttle no doubt.
