<DAY: 01> <IOLANTHE GAMMA | IOLANTHE DOWN>
>Iolanthe down, this is Ondine 1304M <PTA BURST>, come back.
The return transmission is rapid enough to indicate faint distress.
>>Ondine, this is Iolanthe down, <BURST ACKNOWLEDGED>. Be advised we have negative sensor contact.
>>You may proceed under active IFF, repeat, active IFF. <DOCKING PERMISSION>.
Rabbit flicks the transponder to <active broadcast> and fires the torch, a subsonic rumble throughout the hull as ey begin to move.
“I’m not entirely sure they’re not going to shoot us, pal.”
>What’s life without risk, ol’ Buddy?
“I’m not old. My fur is naturally this shade, it’s dignified.”
Iolanthe down slowly grows in the front view; a scabrous, sprawling agglomeration of rock and cable. In visual it’s a dark Rorschach blot, occluding the sun behind it.
In Rabbit’s near-IR, it glistens. Plumed and spotted with trails of plasma, as the precious is separated from the dross. A flickering nimbus of midges, shuttles and people-movers, breaks up the irregular silhouette.
>Kind of pretty, isn’t it?
Eir monitors display the IR image for Buddy’s benefit.
“It’s a beehive; they’re all horrible rock-rat warrens. Thankfully there’s enough gravel in there I can shit on it and nobody’s likely to notice.”
>I’ll be sure to pass that along.
Buddy’s tails flicker warningly and a telekinetic THUNK shakes his chair.
“Your sense of humor, my dear friend, leaves somewhat to be desired.”
>So you keep saying, and yet, you know you stay for my jokes.
Ey begin the spin-down sequence, slowing. The rocky bulk of the converted asteroid looms above.
>Now…where exactly are we going to pull in?
<OPTION SUMMARY>
<01:Industrial Docks>
This area is mostly for ore scows and transport ships- mostly. It's also the best place to find the less formal kind of gambling house, drinking establishment, or eatery. Rough-and-ready, and the sort of place where nobody asks questions.
<02:Hightown Docks>
Among the first of the asteroids hollowed out and converted for living space- nowadays it's half historical site, half destination for the rich and their hangers-on. They might not let you in, but if they do, bring your best duds. There are rumors of certain establishments catering to 'refined tastes', so whether those duds are cloth or leather is up to you.
<03:Crimson Line Terminal>
Right next to your (hopefully) eventual destination, a looming, massive ship. This tends to be where the racers hang out, so you might get a look at the competition, but they'll also get a look at you. Also, Reddin Industries tends to concentrate their observers here, so don't do anything too...disqualification-y.
