There's a one below us. Can we visit that one below us?

Huh? Meaning... a planet? A star?

Sector map.
There's a thing with a one below where we are on the map, assuming the place with the red around it is where we are.

Oh, that. That is a star, and the 1 is the number of habitable planets in that system. Your ship does not have FTL capabilities, so you will need to get on a shuttle, which leave every other day. One happens to be leaving today.

[Alev]

Bump. I need at least one more suggestion, else I will just do Lyeos'.

[Arx]

I agree with Lyeos. Spaaace bus trips!

[Alev]

Ok. I just have to finish my shiny traveling GIF. So today. Maybe.

 Crappy gif test:

[Alev]

You ask the shopkeeper about when shuttles usually leave to other systems, and he says that there is one every two days, and it costs 75 credits for a trip. They go from either terraformed planet in the system, and the nearest is two days away, so you should make it in time for the next. You all board your ship, the _____ (feel free to suggest names), and speed towards the planet.

Two days later, on Flabilis
You arrive on Flabilis, a somewhat large planet with a thick atmosphere and huge oceans. Your ship computer directs you to a skyscraper with various circles jutting out from it, which is the spaceport, apparently. You pay a small fee to land and go on one of the circles. There is an elevator leading down to the main building. You crawl out from under the ship, and the other crew members are beginning to as well. What do you do?

[New water levels=10 days][New food levels=8 days][New balance=610][Fuel=90/100]

[Alev]

((Bump. Is this worth continuing?))

[Lyeos]

Yeah.
Um.
Elevator! Elevator! Elevator!

[Alev]

((I should have just sent you to the shuttle, but whatever. This will not be illustrated. And gib ship names. Gib nao.))
You go down the elevator, and enter and expansive lobby with glass walls. Various people have set up stalls here, and there is a huge screen in the middle of it all. You scan through that screen, and find your shuttle time, which will be in 45 minutes. After a quick search, you find a ticket stand, where you make a payment, and you are validated for the shuttle. After that, you go back to your ship and fly to the FTL shuttle, where you land in the open hangar. It will be a one day flight to the system.

[New balance=560]

((Sorry again about the lack of pictures, I will do the flight turns illustrated.))

[Lyeos]

Möbius.
That's the ship name.
Do we recall, or are we currently capable of checking, what kind of work is available to us?

[Alev]

((Oh yes. Stupid me.))
Hmm... You were planning to be mercenaries, but you could do a lot of other things from here. Trading, piracy, military, transportation... But no agreements as of yet. These inner sectors are fairly secure, maybe a few notable criminals that the government hasn't dealt with popping up occasionally.

[Lyeos]

Hm.
Well.
Go talk to the party members!

[~Neri]

((Yes this is worth updating, I just didn't have any good ideas. Give it about 6 more pages before it really picks up speed.))

And yes, party member talk.

[Alev]

Talk to the party members

You look around and find Elliot and Kacy. Elliot is sitting in one of the cockpit chairs reading a magazine, and Kacy has adjusted her sleeping pod so that it is horizontal. From somewhere outside the ship, you hear a PA announcement that the ship is leaving in 25 minutes, and you will need to be either secured in your vehicle or elsewhere in the shuttle. What do you want to talk about?
