[Vorthon]

*The dropship leaves the surface, meeting up with a larger ship in orbit. After the passenger transfer is complete, the larger ship, an Apogee Class Scoutship, heads out to the Superjovian. It passes through a wormhole, and...*

[Keita]

K:"Killious, Shal'Tau Dimension Dancer." *Killious gives a curtsy* "You must of come here when I was out of action."

===

*A dark shape glides past the dropship, following in it's wake and then falling behind the scoutship as it passes into the wormhole*

[Vorthon]

*The ship exits the wormhole near a strangely squashed-looking gas giant. A quick scan reveals this is due to its abnormally short rotation period of 3.22 hours, which in turn is caused by its high mass and very high density. The strange Superjovian giant is also revealed to harbor an extensive moon system. Haven is visible as a point of light, of magnitude -16.27. Dim, but still the brightest thing in the sky.*


V*Looking at a console:"Whoa. We're way out. And I mean way out. Over a 150 astronomical units. I say we name the planet Toutatis, after the Celtic mythological figure. I dunno why, just sounds good. There is some radio chatter from the inner system, nothing too advanced. In fact, this far out, it's impossible to tell whether it's just natural noise from storms in a planet's atmosphere, or actual signs of intelligent life. And being near a giant stormy planet doesn't help, either."

[Keita]

*The shadowy shape speeds up to in front of the ship, revealing to be Yui in Void Dragon form. She lazy rolls around in the void close to the ship and keeps a close mental eye on the radio transmissions from the ship.*

[Vorthon]

V:"Uhh... Hello?"

[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Crystal is looking out a viewing port, amazement in her eyes *
===
M:"Pleased to meet you"

[Keita]

Y:"Greetings, do not mind me, I'm just along for the excitment."

===

K:"I'm guessing by your appearance that you are related to Yumi in some way?"

[The Merchant Of Menace]

M:"Not really, this is just the form I prefer"

[Keita]

K:"Form? Are you a shape shifter?"

[The Merchant Of Menace]

M:"Comes with being a god"

[Keita]

K:"Ah, that explains it. So is Yumi expanding house? So to speak."

[The Merchant Of Menace]

M:"Don't really know, I just woke up here one day"
===
*Yumi is watching the proceedings from the hall of gods*

[Vorthon]

*The scoutship breaks orbit from 'Toutatis' and begins its long fall into the warmth and light of the inner system.*

*As the ship continues its approach, it collects a more complete picture of the system through scans.*

N:"Haven itself seems to be a F9V class star, 1.138 solar masses, 1.45 solar luminosity, and 751079.75 kilometers in radius, effective surface temperature 6138.86 K. Twelve planets, three dwarf planets, a number of debris belts, and several bodies bearing signs of life. The first gas giant out from Haven seems to be our best bet. It also has an appreciable ring system."

[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Crystal is still looking out in amazement*

[Vorthon]

*The ship settles into orbit around the gas giant, while scans are run on its numerous moons. The setup is strange... almost like an experiment... The first large moon seems to be covered mostly in rainforests, of all things. The second one is an cloud-shrouded oceanworld. The third is arid-looking, with only a few smalls seas around which green-brown patches cling in belts. The fourth is a world with only scattered seas, yet appears to have almost no deserts. And there are many more, which this poster is too lazy to describe.*
