Shawn signs off with the brokers and checks the 
computer for information about Serbia. The data he 
has is what he copied over from the /Mae Lee/ so 
it isn't forty years out of date. The summary is 
C983687-7 Ni Ri.  Not much of a starport, pretty 
dry, and the gravity might be a bit higher than 
normal, but the air is breathable.

As the /Blue Rain/ approaches the planet Shawn 
projects its image on the screens of the consoles 
around the ship. Serbia is a ball of greens, 
browns and blues. There are few lights on the dark 
side, and only a few communication satellites in 
orbit around the planet. Shawn notes that the 
Starport, in the northern hemisphere, will be in 
daylight for another 6 hours, and the approach and 
landing should only take a couple of hours.

Permission to land is given and the small ship 
glides down through the thick atmosphere. Shawn 
skips in and out of the atmosphere several times 
as he bleeds off velocity and then starts a long 
slow descent taking him over the southern landmass 
the the equatorial ocean and then over wide farm 
lands with only small villages and isolated farm 
houses. Finally, he sees a larger town, and the 
distinctive tower of a landing field. This is the 
Starport...or what passes for one on Serbia.

The landing is smooth with hardly a bounce. After 
directions are given, Shawn taxis the ship over to 
the assigned berth. He notes there are a couple of 
ships already on the tarmac...a 200 tonner and a 
larger one, probably 400 tons.

The sensors show the gravity outside is 1.12 g, 
the atmosphere is 1.3 sap and the temperature is 
18 degrees C.  The Port Captain is coming over to 
greet and inspect your papers in 30 minutes and 
there are 2 brokers already at the port waiting to 
talk to you about your cargo.
