The outer rim of the Nacel fortress. Where visitors are permitted to land or dock their crafts fora certain periods of time.
Stay too long and you might have more than a fee to pay. Nacel's aren't ones for visitors.

After traveling for quite some time, a few hours at the most, they were just getting close to the Nacel's base. Raquel had actually enjoyed herself a bit, finding herself just laughing and enjoying Damian, despite his silly compliments here and there. She had found herself slowly being lulled to sleep by the rocking waves, leaning against Damian as she slept in the hot sun and sweet breeze.
Richard on the other hand had taken a seat so as to have Lroey in his arms. but also to keep a look out for their get off point. He was never very found of the Nacel, so this trip was a little less fun for him. Though as the unfathomably large structure came into view, he said nothing but "There it is.." The truth was, that they had in fact been able to see if for the last hour now at the most, but it wa so huge, that it seemed to take forever to approach. But finally it was towering over head and they were finally about to reach the infamous city of the Nacel.

Lorey had spent most of the journey curled up by Richard, chattering here and there about various things. She wasn't quite sure what to say, really, as his worry set a cloud over them both. It didn't stop her from reminding him how she loved him, which set a smile every time it was said.
Once the city was in proper view, all Lorey could do was stare up with her large blue eyes and whisper, "Oh my."
Damian was not so fortunate. It was out of good humor that he hadn't hung his head over the side of the ship until absolutely necessary, but he was sick long before they reached the floating city, and even when they reached it he only saw it as refuge. "Sweet mother," he said as he tottered slightly from being so ill.

Raquel finally woke herself, though finding Damian so sick made her feel absolutely horrid. "Oh darling..." But she couldn't help but giggle slightly to herself. Poor thing got motion sickness so easily. The giant fortress above them strangely didn't intimidate her as much as the ocean. If anything it reminded her of Veratia if not a bit bigger. She said nothing more, but simply rubbed Damian's back as they drifted closer.
Richard mumbled something to himself as he helped their Arran guide pull them up to the docks so they could get on their way.

Damian was quite grateful for Raquel. It was indeed comforting to have her there, though the real comfort was stepping off the ship and making way onto solid ground from the dipping, rolling sea.
Lorey was becoming very worried about Richard. If he was this preoccupied, she felt she should be as well... after all, meeting the two aliens would indeed bring a conflict. She herself had flung a vase at the male, hadn't she? Who knew what retribution that might earn, as well as being the one closest to Richard out of the group. She could only sigh, and follow everyone else.

Richard sighed, looking up a bit dreading the next bit of their adventure. He wasn't sure what to expect but he figured he had better just get this all over with. He as the first off the small boat and thanked their guide as Enty joined him. He then turned to assist Lorey off the rickety little raft.
Raquel was supporting Damian physically. She pushed a little of his hair from his face, noting how he looked paler, if not greener than usual. "Love are you alright?" She asked though it was quite obvious he wasn't. She just wanted to get him onto dry land before he passed out.

"I'm fine," he mumbled. "Just have to get someplace stable, and I'll be even better..."
Lorey looked at Damian with troubled eyes. She was sure he would pull through and just walk to where they had to be, since it was just motion sickness after all... but he'd already been sick twice on their journey. And usually it was her that had the problems.
Damian waved off any other help than what came from Raquel. "Let us find the ship and just go, eh? I'll be fine."

Hey guys, Mia and I are planning on posting soon for a new scene/ encounter for your group, so if you can slow down the posting until we catch up, that would be great. Just get to a nice stopping point while still on this planent, and halt for a bit until we pop in, if that's alright.

*Okies. 3nodding We'll just BS around fora bit. >w< lol... Though hurry, bc I think it'd be better for you two to join them before I have them run back into the Amaranthines.*
Richard scanned the docking bay, finding it pretty barren except for a few fancy ships, mostly cruisers, and one familiar ship in particular. "There she is!" he cried excited to see his old beauty again. "Doesn't look like there's a scratch on her! Thank Gosh..." He sighed, noting the Nacel who were cleaning the sand out. "Looks like they're paying to have it fixed up too..we'll be in good condition if we can get it back." He added, looking back at the others.
Raquel felt bad, wishing that they could at least let Damian have a little time to regain his land legs before taking off again. Poor thing looked sick as a dog. She just worried he might throw up or pass out on them.

"If we can get it back." Lorey looked at Richard like a teacher to a student. "Who knows if they've gone and played mind games to make it seem like it's really theirs."
"Lorey's right," Damian mumbled. He was feeling alright with Raquel supporting him, though his head still spun at fast movements. It definitely was not fun, but he could pull through for the sake of getting back to their dirty home once more. "It might not be too easy convincing these things that your ship doesn't belong to two advanced creatures who have no doubt concocted some story..."

"We'll get it back one way or another..." Richard said in a low voice, cracking his knuckles menacingly as he stormed directly towards his ship.
Raquel disagreed though, still balancing Damian, she furrowed her brow. "Woah, calm down soldier. We cant just burst in and demand it back let alone threaten them. They said they prefer not to resort to violence, but that doesn't mean they wont. We don't know what they're capable of. We've seen how they are mentally...I'd hate to see how strong they are physically." She pointed out, thinking this through.

Lorey sighed and followed. Maybe there wouldn't be a confrontation. Maybe they could steal their ship right back and they could all just go back to their home planet...
Damian was more or less forcing himself to stand upright to feign wellness for the sake of Raquel. She was doing so much to have him be well again, and he could pull his own where it was needed. Apparently, it might be needed for a conflict judging by the way Richard so boldly strode towards his own ship. "This seems too simple," he muttered to Raquel as they all followed.

Ricahrd sighed, pausing momentarily. He knew they were right. "I honestly agree at the aspect that this could be dangerous. You all stay here then and I'll go." He said, glancing back at them with a firm finger raised. But Raquel shook her head.
"No way. You cant take them on your own if it does get physical, and no offense to you Lorey, but you just don't have the skill or training to fight. And Damian...-" She looked at the sick mess in her arms. "Is far too unwell to stand let alone fight. That leaves me. I've fought to stay alive my whole life, and I've had plenty of training, despite the shame of who it came form..." She added, thinking of Sveriana. "I'm coming with you." She said affirmatively.
Richard seemed skeptical but knew she was right. It was idiotic to confront a potentially dangerous situation without backup. he had learned that on the force over the years.

"For heaven's sake," Lorey said under her breath. "Let's just all go in. More eyes and ears in case something does go wrong."
Damian cringed. "I'm not that sick," he murmured. "I'm fine. See?" And he stood upright like the Centurion he was born to be. "Just a little queasy from the boat, nothing more. But come, let's all just go in, root out the bastards, and go home." With a little agitated huff, he set off, only looking over his shoulder once to see if anyone was coming along.

Raquel shook her head, taking Damians arm and leaning up to kiss him on the cheek. "Someday you're pride is going to get you killed..." She sighed, whispering in his ear before giving him one last smooch.
Richard sighed, suddenly remembering why he was loner for so many years. It was rather annoying having someone worry about him. Lovely...but annoying. "Fine...lets just go..." He sighed, turned and scanning the area before heading right for the ship.
