Thule
Drifting over the treeline the ship came upon a vast impact crater in the ground. One empty, Jack did not fail to notice.
"Haaaaah?" the explorer mouthed. He turned to the pirate as though the alien had some inner insight to the problem. "Where is it?"

Data flew across the screen. The computer threw up what it could see, labeling several areas as potentially man made, the topography, and some basic planetary compositions based on what it could see.
Some other items pinged off the sensor. Radio signals, denoting communication from the planet at several locations on the surface without even an attempt at hiding it. Some stronger and more blatant than others.

"Okay I have the message ready." Sprocket and Ratchet turned the ship leading it out of the asteroids. "Okay we're clear." He replied as he started to hear tapping then swearing followed by crashing. "What happened!" Ratchet called back. "The dam communicator is broken. I told bolt we needed to replace the relays." She shouted. "Hey I replaced the relays. You keep the scanners turned up so high it burns threw them." Bolt argued back. In the cockpit Ratchet sighed at the two arguing and sunk into his chair as he waited out the verbal storm.

Resting his chin in a palm, Jack leaned forward and gazed over the pit while he waited for the scanners to respond. "Oh, you know. You know. Take in the sights. Map some stuff. Do a bit of exploring. I'd really like to get a closer look at the big waterway things. See if they go anywhere, you know? A proper adventure."

The broadcasts received were spotty and static at best, prone to fluxing as one signal gained strength over another before dropping once more.
"Oi say Bruce! Thas a conker of a biter on ya head!"
"Aw don't worry none 'bout it Bruce. 'E doesn't do much."
"Just sits there then?"
"Right you are."
Fzzt
"And then add a pinch of salt, and it's ready for eating."
"Mmm! Sounds kinky!"
Fzzt
"...and the ships are taking longer than-"
"Damn this planet! I couldn't hear..."
"What?"
"Damn!"
"No need to shout!"
Fzzt
Words suddenly flashed on the screen, the corners of the screen grainy and encroaching on the subject.
draconianMeasures: And you know what? I bet you were. I bet you were just waiting for this to happen. For all this $%^& to come tumbling the @#$% down. Well I'll still win, do you hear me? I won't quit!

"Yeah. Mhmm. Yes," Jack agreed dreamily. "I'm looking forward to it. Yes I am. Yes. I. Am. This is but a stepping stone to galactic adventures. I'mma put my name on everything. Unless, you know, we all die
horribly
here. But what are the odds of that? Like...thirty? Forty? Fifty seven?"

Perk
Thule
Quite suddenly, the scanners came alive; picking up on the homing beacon from below.
Below, dirt crumbled, revealing the open pod, lights flashing within.
Perk eyed it through the window. Releasing liberal amounts of steam, the back of the pod opened; raising up to reveal a rather large gattling gun along with a massive steel ammo pack.
The Kig'Yar's eyes lit up. "We need to get down t'ere!" He shouted; moving for the ladder quickly. "Fa't!"

Mishka's eyebrow shot skyward at the sight on the monitor.
"Light's Lunacy!" Jack cried in amazement. He leaned forward so far his face was pressed flush against the glass.. "It's a gatling gun! How awesome is that? And so tastefully placed."
A set of tan robes followed the pirate to the ladder, though the Templar disparaged using it and merely hurled himself down to land lightly on the ground level.

Virgus, Castus

"Look for some sign of civilization," Castus ordered, eyes flashing. "It's been a week. Someone's likely set up shop by now."

Perk
Thule
"No food, no water, no 'uppliech... but a weapon." Perk explained; rushing through the ship and forcing the airlock door open. "T'ere i' only one t'ing t'at came in t'at pod..." He chirped, drawing his spiked weapon as wind rushed into the ship with a roar.
Throwing himself out, the pirate's cloak flurried outwards like a cape in his descent. Gracefully, the avian alien landed into the loose dirt of the scar below.

Thule, Impact Zone
"Seems so," Mishka observed, a metal talon pointing to a screen as a swirl of robes followed the pirate out the door to land alongside him on the ground.
Kasmed rose to his feet, tugging his cowl lower even as he drew his lightblade. The weapon had a curious design, mainly forming a hilt and handle with only a narrow pole ascending from the center. With a flick of his thumb the weapon came alive, golden light flaring along the pole to form a somewhat crude and almost indistinct blade, as though it's shape was yet undecided.
Character:
Virgus, Castus
Location:
Thule
Skimming through the atmosphere a light blinked upon the screen at a particular point near the equatorial sea. Virgus raised his brow in surprise that someone would willingly put out a beacon upon this new found world advertising themselves for anyone who came across.
"It may be a trap," Castus observed cynically.
"Regardless," Virgus replied with a shrug, "we need to start somewhere."

Perk
Thule, Impact Scar
From his cloak, Perk withdrew a metal headpiece; placing it over one side of his head, the long scope overtook his eye; glowing brightly as it whirred to life.
Through it, his vision telescoped; sensors pointing out even the most minor movements along the edges of the scar. With another whir, his vision came back to a normal distance. "Clear." He commented. " 'or now."
Standing up, he moved slowly, still scanning the surroundings.

Mishka's metal claws pinged as she tapped them against the rim of the control panel. "Try to land," she instructed in a cautious tone. "But keep the engines running."
Following the pirate, Kasmed held his blade in both hands in a standard guard stance near his waist, tip of the blade pointed slightly down as he slowly maneuvered on bent legs towards the lip of the crater.
Character:
Virgus, Castus
Location:
Thule
Running out of the atmosphere the vessel entered the planet proper. The location was evident even without the guiding light of the beacon. Situated on an open plain near the divide between forests and the ocean, a tremendous wide bodied ship nestled calmly like a beached whale awaiting death. Several large landing pads made of patted down earth with a wide circle in the center and four small points like the direction of a compass were spread about. Several prefabricated homes were clustered about the ship in an awkward, thrown together pattern as they followed a road leading to the landing pads, the domed structures resembling tin cans with a rounded top slightly overhanging the sides like a mushroom with an overly large stem.
A crude wooden palisade was in the midst of being constructed about the small homes and the ship, logging work easily visible from their height as figures bustled about the nearby woods with cutting droids and sledges dragging the logs back to the town.
Barely discernible was a man near the landing pads. Arms waving, he appeared to be signalling them to land.
