Yes, for the low low price of L$499, you too can receive your very own animesh pond, a Watery Tart to place in it, and (a copy of) Excalibur to wear or display! Such a deal!
In the meantime, we took a shuttle round the 'verse...only, we just meant to go from Haven to Osiris. What happened was, we'd traveled to Haven to get a feel of the place, with someone we trusted to show us where to avoid the snakes. We didn't run into a single one on our way to the airfield.
Then she asked if we wanted to see Osiris. As the Sphinx-Templar Syndicate is interested in a potential office there, too, we said yes. She bade us get into a shuttle. Shouldn't take more than a minute, she said.
And up we went. Bit odd to go from horizontal to vertical, but we were strapped in. Strong thrusters pushed us from the sands and into the sky.
And soon into the black.
We flew past one of the mining consortium stations, in place around the asteroids ringing Haven.
I for one had no idea there was so much mineable sitting in this sector of space.
We passed a large, radiant planet--couldn't have been a sun, as we didn't fry, but it surely isn't a habitable orb--and kept flying.
And finally, we saw it, Osiris gleaming below us, and the glittering spires of Capitol City, their...not too original...name for their, well, capitol city...and...wait, why aren't we stopping?
Where are we going??
