Silence fills the room, broken by Reynard speaking.
“No questions from me.”With no one speaking up, it seems as the rest agrees.
Oyli takes the word again.
“Good. Go to the hangar bay, we’ll distribute our gear there and upload Nova with the help of some technicians.
I will have to speak with some of my crew to check the landing status. But I’m always available through our communications system if you hail us. Good luck.”With the debriefing finished, Nova approaches the squad.
“I will lead you to the hangar bay now. It’s not as big as Atlas’s Prime hangar, but it fits our needs.”A short moment later, the squad arrives at the hangar. Multiple drones, buggy’s and a hoverbike fill the space. Suddenly the bay door opens. The outside illuminates the murky hangar with its blinding light and a breeze of hot air hits the squad.
One of the hangar workers, approaches the squad.
“Please follow me, we got your equipment ready over at the hangar exit.”The squad approaches the blinding outside. Slowly but surely, their eyes adjust, revealing the landscape just outside. A blue sky filled with thin streaky clouds, large plains fill the horizon, with thin vegetation coloring the otherwise beige colored landscape. In the distance some movement can be seen, unmistakably some alien life, but unsure as to what.
“Please hold still, while we perform a quick maintenance.”A technician approaches each of the members, with a holo pad at hand. A series of short tests, quickly put an end to the maintenance. Finally Nova is uploaded. The screens display a couple of update windows, then Nova’s voice confirming that she’s been uploaded and that the software is functional.
“Nova monitoring software installed.
Connection # 5634 established.”Followed by a myriad of other statements, which are not very intriguing for the squad but is for the technicians, which tick off a checkbox for each statement. As the last statement is said, the technicians finish up.
“We’re ready. You can go outside now. We wish you luck.”The squad picks up their gear and Reynard distributes the things he bought. While they walk off the sloped hangar door onto Atlassian Soil, a drone follows them.
It’s a quadrupedal drone. A huge torso, lightly armored, supported by 4 flexibile legs is what they need to defend. It looks like a walking brick, but is much more than that.
Michelle remarks that she saw these in her childhood, and Reynard, Velaine and Mari comment that they have too. Reynard adds, that these are extremely common and highly flexible in their loadouts.
With the squad being fully outside, they can see the forestation on the side of Nova. Thick leaved plants, huge purple-ish colored trees and bright flowers can be seen in what seems to be an endless jungle filled with thousands of other plants. On the left, there are the plains, with mountains in far horizon.
“Let’s get a move on. We still got a long way to go.” and with those words spoken, the squad started moving into the large open expanse to the designated location.
[ENCOUNTER ROLL:(6) SOMEWHAT GOOD!]
A few hours pass with the sun blazing down onto the squad. Some comments can be heard over internal comms on how hot it is and that the internal cooling never cools enough.
The terrain has slightly changed since then. It’s become more rocky, with spots of shade here and there. Plants can be found near the shadows of a more green color.
Suddenly some creatures pop up from the ground, 5...10...15..17. Slinky in looks with a big abdomen, dark colored, with no visible eyes, but huge mandibles on the underside of what seems to be their jaw and head. They hop forward like grasshoppers.
The squad immediately enters battle stance, as they raise their guns onto the oncoming group of animals.
“Nova, What are these things and must we shoot?”“Negative, Reynard. These are friendly, or at least friendly to us.”“That’s great, but that doesn’t answer my question.”
“They’re an insect based scavenger creature. They operate in packs as you can see. They have no vision but seem to operate from a combination of smell, hear and tremor sense. We are unsure as to how sensitive they are in those regards but they pop up whenever something walks over their nest.
They might nip at you, but are easily scared off by loud sounds. No confirmed deaths by them as of yet. There’s a bounty on them in regards to their nesting location and any information about it. 30k kreds for any confirmed live nest with a queen and a further 40k for samples from inside the nest. ”What now?

Name: Veliane Mirelante
Codename: The Ebon Comet
Gender: F
Age: 57
Notable Characteristics:
-She has short wavy black hair tied in the back during service
-Brown eyes
Hidden characteristics :
-Her body is battle scared after many missions
-She wears a pendant with a beautiful cyan gem
Bio:
Veliane Mirelante was born on the peaceful and prosperous planet of Vanguard, formerly known as Gliese 832 c. She belonged to the 3rd generation of colonist and to the 1st generation of Vanguard-born. She led a tranquil life for the majority of her years, working as a security agent for Armon's Aegis, a private security company operating in her hometown.
When she was around 30 years old, an important economical crisis befell on the whole Gliese 832 system. With the development of new space-faring technologies and the discovery of more resource-rich and habitable worlds, the colonization era reached its peak. This was bad news for the Gliese system, which was one of the few first system colonized during the great expansion. But it shouldn't have sent the whole system in total misery, as the main companies responsible for the economy of the system still had the means to make the system prosper.
But in a cruel show of greed, all major company retracted their support for the Gliese 832 system and redirected their resources toward the new worlds. It took less than a year for the once prosperous planet to plunge into the depth of poverty and misery, reminiscent of the 1st Mars Crisis of XXXX. Armon's Aegis went bankrupt along many other companies, and Veliane left the system. From her home planet, she only kept some souvenirs, including a pendant encrusted with a Vanguard-native gem. She also always kept a huge grudge toward the companies involved since that day, especially toward Starfront Corp, who retracted first and convinced most big companies to follow suit.
Using her past as a security agent, she went off to live a life of mercenary with many past coworkers and friends. They formed the renowned Vanguard Brigade, as a homage for their ruined home planet. Contracting for private clients, sometime for the military, she traveled far and wide across the stars, even having the occasion to visit the famous planet Earth. Despite being in a mercenary group, she worked generally alone, taking care of most solo missions. But she never shunned teaming up with her friends and coworkers when the times called for it. They had the habit to reunite regularly, generally after long and exhausting missions, at the Mourning Wood, a bar run by a fellow Vanguardian.
Her mercenary codename is the Ebon Comet. She named herself like this as a joke with her best friend, Kimberly, whose mercenary codename was the Ivory Sun. She teamed up with her the most out of every other mercenaries, especially on tough missions. They held a friendly rivalry during work, but were inseparable friends out of it.
Then when news of the discovery of the 1st XL-Terran type planet holding alien life spread across the networks, Veliane and her friends jumped on the occasion. With promises of riches and glory, she headed toward Atlas. Deep inside her heart, she hoped to pay back the companies involved for the Vanguard tragedy.

Name: Mari Bryan
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Notable Characteristics:
Mari is a woman of average height, with long shoulder-length green hair (dyed. The natural color is black.) She is very pale, having rarely seen the sun where she was born.
Bio: Mari's reasons for working aren't so elaborate as running from a corporation, or adventure, or whatever else people come to the planet for. She just wants money. Her family is dirt poor, practically slaves working in factories whenever they're not sleeping. And yet they paid for her education. She didn't have to work in the factory. Thing is, they could just barely pay for her education; they couldn't pay for her license as a doctor or a mechanic or anything like that. This was her only option that wouldn't leave her in the factories for the rest of her life. But no, she's not going to settle for enough money to make her own livelihood. She is going to give her family a life too. She has already negotiated her contract so that they receive money proportional to her own payment. They didn't have many individuals with medical experience applying for such a dangerous job, you see.
She went through basic training before joining, of course. Medic or not, they'd not hire her if she couldn't defend herself. She found herself to actually be a better shot then most of the trainees, at least with suit-level weaponry.

Starting Skills:
Bio:Raised in a community orphanage, Michelle was taught to be loyal, kind and obedient for the quite simple reason they didn't do their job at the orphanage because they loved children they did I lt because they needed money and it was all they could get so anyone who wasn't "nice" or "loyal" or "obedient "got beaten senseless. For years she suffered from not being able to identify her purpose in life or to express herself in fear of being harmed by the orphanage caretakers. Michelle felt like breathing in fresh air once she left the orphanage, she was finally able to look for meaning in her life. For once Michelle felt alive, realizing that the only thing that mattered, was being honest simply because it was the only thing she had never been allowed to be,she found it felt infinitely easier and she felt better when everyone knows how you feel
To her honesty is the best policy because it's an opposite to everything she was taught and she's enjoying that more and more by the second especially since she got those caretakers oh so arrested

Bio: Reynard was born in one of the less safe cities of the USA. Law enforcement was powerless as crime ran rampant. It took a mere 12 years of his life for an armed group of burglars to claim the lives of his parents. He barely managed to hide himself from his family's killers. Newly orphaned and without any relatives to take him into their care, he turned to crime himself for the sake of survival.
As time passed, the crimes he committed increased in severity. Shoplifting evolved into stealing, which evolved into mugging and so on. Soon, Reynard found himself a member of one of the many gangs in the area. By some cruel twist of fate, its leader was the one who ended his parents. Unable to exact his revenge for fear of his own life, he spent a few years wreaking havoc on the city alongside his nemesis.
More time passed. He amassed enough funds to leave to a better place. Thanks to a great deal of luck, he was never caught nor identified by the police. He realized that his life cannot go on like this. Seizing the opportunity, he finally put a bullet inside the head of the man he hated and left his hometown for greener pastures. He joined the army, hoping that it would help him forget about the atrocities he committed on the innocent, whether by simply forgetting or by meeting oblivion.
Even more time passed. Life as a soldier was surprisingly comfortable and all his combat deployments unusually smooth. He figured that a life filled with violence does make one a good killing machine. He moved up the ranks, gained command of a squad of his own. A routine peacekeeping deployment in Africa didn't sound that dangerous. It was. Some kind of prototype weapon or suit wiped out his entire team. Once again, Reynard's luck saved him. Whatever weapon vaporized all his comrades, it only took his right arm. Although his arm was generously replaced, he was discharged from the army for reasons unknown.
In the present, Reynard Durant has made a name for himself as a freelance mercenary. His speed and agility during battle, along with his red suit gave him the nickname he later took up as his callsign. Hearing of Atlas and its dangers, he joined a group of mercenaries heading there.
