Location: E02 - Jurin II

After crash landing on Jurin II, Pilot John Hannibal left his medic/mechanic/explorer droid Dora to scout the area while he was away. As she gives him a tour of all of her favorite discoveries, John and Dora come across two new colonists, the Jins, retrieving their freshly delivered frontier pod. Ma' Jin very happy to see John, who has been the majority investor in their colonization bid with Octan, and John is excited to get such a good look at his eager, and not-so-shy colonist.

Ma' - "John! So lovely to see you, and you too Miss Dora. How sweet of you to come check up on us. George! John's here! Climb your butt back up here and say hi!"

Dora - "HI MA'!"

Hannibal - "No need for that Mrs. Jin, I can see that he's busy..."

George - "John!? I'll be right up."

Hannibal - "Stay put for a minute George, I've got to come down there anyway, my droid is tracking something she saw a couple of weeks ago, it must be down a little lower."

Ma' - "Oh, that's very likely John. These trees grow so fast whatever you're looking for is likely to have been consumed by now. And call me Ma' you turkey, you're every bit of our family, like it or not"

Hannibal - "Yes Ma'. Very possible, about the growth that is..."

Ma' - "What was it you were looking for?"

Hannibal - "More M.A.N.T.I.S. personnel I'm afraid. Been finding remnants of their patrols all over the lower levels. Dora says this one is particularly interesting."

Ma' - "Oh, yes... our little scarecrow. He was like that when we scouted this place out last week. The locals said they were having some fun..."

Hannibal - "Locals?"

Ma' - "Oh, yes, our little octopus friends... George was able to figure out how to communicate with them through colors! He can really only understand their general emotions about a subject, but they were quite tickled by their little stunt with the fella down below."

Hannibal - "Hm, well if it's all the same to y'all, I'd like to move y'all's pod a bit further away to be safe; wouldn't want any kiddos catching something from that corpse. Also, don't report in about your new friends just yet. The company's latest "retrievals" of xenological specimens have not been very peaceful...

"O.T.C, "Mercy Brandy" where's our closest pick-up"

Mercy Brandy - "OS-461, picking up his droid, about an hour from your location... need pick-up expedited?"

Hannibal - "Negative. Send Cantillon along, but an hour will be fine. We're going to move Colonists 81815 and 81915 and their pod to sector RTMP-136 when they get here."

Mercy Brandy - "Confirmed, something wrong with our drop."

Hannibal - "Negative. Y'all nailed your spot, just have some new factors to account for."

Mercy Brandy - "Roger that, we'll adjust our orbit to give you more time on the ground."

Dora - "OOOO, wait-wait-wait, does Captain Cantillon have Mabel with him! I can't wait to share!"

Mercy Brandy - "He does, Dora, and she's anxious to share with you too. Mercy Brandy out."

Ma' - "But John, we've been scouting this sector for weeks. It's just lovely."

Hannibal - "Don't worry Ma', it's still yours. RTMP-136 is... was one of my sectors... it borders this one and now both belongs to you and George."

Ma' - "Oh, John we just couldn't!"

Hannibal - "Stop it. Now lets help George get that pod secured..."

C&C welcome and appreciated

That is a great little ship. I really enjoyed the first two pics with the vertical orientation and the background. Great tree walker too for Ma.
