The /Blue Rain/ lands on Serbia about an hour ahead of the /Mae Lee/ however, the larger ship approaches the planet with out incident. Ricardo, Lysia, Cory and Arvitis are on the bridge. Ukanav is back in engineering. Woof has joined Mira, Jac and Lessa in Sickbay. Arvitis projects the image of Serbia on the screens of the consoles around the ship. And sends out a comm, "Take a look everyone." 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. There is a map with the picture showing the Starport, in the northern hemisphere, and it will be for another four ,or so, hours. The final approach and landing should only take a couple of hours, so you'll have a little time before dark after you land. Permission to land is given from the Port tower and the large ship glides down through the thick atmosphere. Ricardo bleeds off velocity and makes a long slow descent that doesn't tax the hull or any of the ship's systems. The descent takes the ship over the southern landmass the the equatorial ocean and then over wide farm lands with only small villages and isolated farm houses. Finally, you see 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 on the flat tarmac. After directions are given, Ricardo taxis the ship over to a grassy field near the tarmac and parks the ship. You all note that all of the small Port's berths are occupied. The Blue Rain is in one, a 200 tonner is in another, and a larger one, probably 400 tons is in the third. The ship you were following is the 200 ton ship. The sensors show the gravity outside is 1.12 g, the atmosphere is 1.3 sap and the temperature is 18 degrees C. You receive a message from the Port Captain saying he will be coming over to greet and inspect your papers in about 20 minutes and there are also 2 brokers already at the port waiting to talk to you about your cargo.
