ON: Lor System, 1,500 miles from the surface.
"This is the LSDF flight control, Yggdrasill, you are cleared for landing, Zahl Commander, your request for shuttle passage has been cleared, you are cleared to touch down on pad C5 near Devil's Landing." The LSDF control signal seemed to come from the remaining satellites which glided about above the Lor atmosphere. From space, the ball of rock and water seemed to have a tinge of red to it's air and abundant clouds, an apparent side effect of the lunar wreckage which still drifted through the air, but it was better than a global winter.
The Yggdrasill was prepared to follow the Zahl into the atmosphere, when it was given the proper vectors for entry. "This is Yuki Toshiro, Captain of the SRSS Yggdrasill. Also asking for clearance to land at the same location."
The flight controller's voice seemed to trail off for a moment. "Yggdrasill, please be sure to pull to the far end of the landing area assigned to you." It seemed that the flight controller was receiving instructions from someone else.
The Maras shifted it's course following between the Yggdrasill and the Zahl, the better tactical decision. Its hull organically rippled and warped, a dark black color taking its underbelly in place of the organic reds and grays. The engine prongs slid open on the shoulder-like axis against the primary hull with panels parting and opening across the hull the formation itself opening wider like a claw to maximize the craft's surface area. It was a strange sight to behold indeed.
Toshiro nodded, and ordered Ken to enter the atmosphere... "Acknowledged. Proceeding on vector two-one-five. Angles of entry nominal. Speed nominal...Entering atmosphere."
Remi peered down at the Helashio frowning a little. ~"Serenity dear, I'm going to need my torso back."~ The doctor replied kindly in the woman's native tongue.
Serenity pouted lightly and looked up to Remi with wet eyes. ~"Serenity scared..."~
Meanwhile, on the Zahl, the ship's commander and the sub commander boarded a Ferryman shuttle and launched for the planet. The small craft's large fusion engines blazed a trail behind it as it made a decent into the planet's atmosphere. After passing through enough of the outer atmosphere to the point of being beyond the searing burn of decent, the Ferryman-class shuttle made a slightly inclined vertical decent for the surface. Beneath the shuttle, the landing area which had recently gained a portion of fame awaited the Yggdrasill and Maras.
Remi sighed a little, and patted the Helashio's back gently. ~"We're fine see? No more trouble. It's all over."~ Her face softened a little at the pout however.
Toshiro kept the channel open, waiting for instructions...he doubted they wanted him to just step off the ship and wave.
Slowly, Serenity detangled herself from Remi, pouting as she crawl back and away from her and closer to the medical table.
As the shuttle and Yggdrasill neared the surface, a flurry of activity was visible on the neighboring strips of asphalt as the LSDF and Occhestain forces prepared the area for the landing of the Maras. The Yggdrasill was a mere technicality in their eyes, but none the less, there were a hand full of individuals from the Lorath Salvage Department waiting for the Yggdrasill's arrival, to negotiate compensation and plans for the crew.
Blazing oranges and burning ember hued colors shot and danced across the hull. The many protrusions seemed to emit some kind of pulse and the friction danced into a smooth ovaltine shape wrapped about the Maras as it pointed its nose toward the planet below and accelerated with abandon, passing the Yggdrasill quickly. The same flames seared across its surface as it negotiated the skies and came around once. It didn't know where it was supposed to set down.
Remi got up and eyed the front of her dress. "Hmm...now I've got to change." The doctor mumbled. Remi spotted the woman and gave a small smile before she went and began taking clothes out of her suitcase. ~"I'm going to go shopping once we are cleared to leave the ship. I'll get you something nice, What would Serenity like hmm?"~ She asked going behind a curtain now. The labcoat flipped over the top followed by her old dress as she began to change
There was another figure on the strip, one taller and seemingly much more important with the others. At least, that was he impression given from the way the others seemed to stray away from her.
Toshiro gave a small smiled and gave a quick ping to get the Maras' attention as it descended past. The Yggdrasill landed on the far end of the strip, as indicated.
On the landing strip below, a group of Occhestains bickered for a moment, before one of them settled on a mental image to project to the Maras. Within moments, an amplified signal was sent to the Maras. An imagery of the Maras landing beside the Yggdrasill was transmitted, along with a general sense of rest, wellbeing, and an image of Rebeka.
Serenity tilted her head and watched Remi. She didn't understand the question, about what she wanted.
Remi peeked her head out from behind the curtain only half dressed. Seeing the Helashio's reaction her lips compressed as she thought on how to word it properly. ~"A...reward? What does Serenity want for a reward?"~
~"But..Serenity not do..."~ This seemed to confuse the Helashio even further now.
The hull of the Maras rushed directly over the shuttle, flying by the landing tower, only to pull up onto its back in a U-turn. Sighting the landing post, the front windows flickered bright white twice. A sharp horizontal burst of thrust threw the Maras toward the designated landing area, rear engines and prongs positioned. There was an almighty thundering sound as the which air glided over the hull from the rapid acceleration clapped together. The Maras came down gently, rear engines swirling around to point at the ground, landing-gear baring itself. Sharply, the engines gave out and the Maras came down from about 30 feet in the air, smashing into the ground with a sharp thud which resonated through the pavement. Though the ship was unharmed, the landing floor beneath seemed to have taken the brunt of the stress.
Kairi had finally calmed down. She looked about; "Toshi-kun, what are your recommendations for efficient placement for me? Miyoshi-sama is with Serenity, but... I'm not sure.â€
