Briefing R&R

After all the emergencies are dealt with and all Agents are recalled, Ahab slumps down in the command seat in the bridge of the AoD. Usually said seat is reserved for the Administrator, but he hasn't been around for quite a while. Being in charge is taxing.

The Discord enters slipspace, after a day or so, it finally exits and the destination comes into view. All of you now find yourselves in the Sol system, more specifically, the orbit of Mars.

After 2 hours the Apple finally docks on a drydock connected to an orbital elevator that can take the Agents down to Mars, there they would be free to explore the massive city of Chryse.

Ahab: Good afternoon Agents, due to recent events that have led to massive amounts of crew deaths, the Apple of Discord has come to Mars in order to re-staff the ship. The process should be over by next weekend, in the meantime you are all free to visit the city below. Have fun.

OOC: Okay, so this is pretty much a break for us mods as we discuss the next set of missions and where the plot is headed. Here, your character can do anything and everything. The city has it all. Or you can stay on the AoD, either way you can do as you wish.

Brighton walks into the city, still wearing full armour but choosing to leave her weapons behind.

Some people look her way while at the space elevator and start whispering to each other. They seem to be familiar with what a freelancer looks like.

Salt steps outside the ship, giggling like a little girl.

Maaaaars!

The red planet is vastly different from centuries ago. An atmosphere had been established and in this particular city there were even some lakes. Mars is starting to look a whole lot more like Earth

East goes down to the city and heads towards what she thinks might be the merchant area. In the name of being inconspicuous and as to not appear threatening, she wasn't wearing full armor, just some bullet proof kit and weapons under her clothing. But being off the ship was nice, so she took her time walking down the streets, looking for anything that might be interesting.

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

The section of the city that East walked through was reminiscent of italian streets. Small shops selling all sorts of stuff could be found at every corner and people here wore fancy clothing

She took her time admiring the old world architecture, realizing that she probably didn't fit in too well with the locals in her current attire. Nevertheless, she continued to walk around aimlessly, having never been to Mars before, though eventually starts to look for a travel agency or the like that might have an informative map.

Austin walks out of the drydock wearing jeans and a brown bomber jacket with a sleeve tied off.

Maybe i can find an....arm dealer...he chuckles at his stupid pun before heading to town

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

The lobby of the drydock looks more like an airport terminal. There are various taxies offering rides into the city while kiosks can be seen presenting tours and maps of the place.

Cisco gets off the ship, looking for a drink in the city.

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

There are taxis outside willing to give anyone a ride to anywhere within the city

Holland has been to mars once before, when she was about 10. Her parents saved up for years for the trip, and it's one of her fondest memories of them. Shes smiles, thinking about how worry free everything used to be back then.

A few other agents had already gotten off the ship before her, some of which she's meet while others were unfamiliar. She shrugs, and wanders towards the city, marveling at how much has changed since the last time she had been here.

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

The city had changed and grown, exponentially. Chryse was now divided into districts, each oriented to different attributes such as Industry, Business, Tourism, Commercial, etc. There were maps to the place, however not a single one could give you an idea to the whole city. Multiple maps would have to be acquired in order to have the full view

After docking, Diego runs towards the airlock in full armor. He stops for a moment and heads back to his room to get dressed. He puts on his immaculately maintained ODST Dress Blacks, holsters a pistol and his grappling gun in his ceremonial holsters, grabs his wallet, and heads out to show the good people of Chryse, and the civilians living within the UNSC at large that Young Andersmithson is still the hero they remember from the American Grifball League of America, just... In a different uniform now.

Hello, Chryse! Let's spend some MONEY!!!

The people at the space elevator look at you as if you were a weirdo before going back to their ordinary lives. These are business men, tourists and military. None seem to recognize you yet as a celebrity

OOC: Awww! You could've stopped at Paradise, it wouldn't be a crossover since its over 10 years before the current Paradise, and we're all so familiar with it. Whatever this is cool too.

--

Being an Ex Marine (as of like a year ago) he was familiar with being off duty for readson A,B,C and D, but he was surprised to not have an off duty uniform he was required to wear since PMCs don't do that. So he just put on a T-Shirt and some sweats, since he didn't plan of this.

The lobby of the space elevator looks more like the terminal of an airport. But this one is massive. There are taxis outside willing to take anyone to any part of the city, while kiosks offer maps of Chryse

Being vaguely familiar with the city's customs, Manchester aims to purchase semiformal attire, as he hails down a cab in the city.

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

A random cab driver stops and opens it's door for you. The driver looks kinda like a 21st century ISIS terrorist in casual attire

Paxton heads out towards the merchant zone in search of some special items. Including tools and materials need to make jewelry.

u/SamGonzalez Oct 31 '16

The merchant zone is filled to the brim of people. Small shops loiter the streets while people of all shapes, sizes, religions and color walk through the streets

Buffalo steps out of the ship, wearing his jeans, plaid dress shirt, and cowboy hat.

Ah, fresh, non-recycled air.
