When Shawn and Ilane descend the short metal gangway to the sand, they see Kelly and April walking, arm in arm, down the beach away from the ship. Their ship's broad landing skids are resting on the light brown sand about 20 meters from the waterline of the fairly wide and flat beach along the cove. The sand away from the waterline is soft, and Shawn's and Ilane's boots sink ankle deep in it as they walk across to the smaller ship's boat, making scrunching sounds at each step. The hatch to the ship's boat pops open and you see Arvitis stick his head out waving at you. As you near the boat, Arvitis hops out carrying a long metal case in one hand and a duffle bag in the other. "Hi there Shawn, Miss...er...Ilane." Arivitis says brightly, "I've got all of my gear I had time to gather on short notice. Skypr is where we're headed...3 parsecs spinward of here. How soon can we lift off?" Eris AKU GM

Okay, find a spot over on the /Rain/ and we'll be along in a few minutes." Shawn went into the /Walk/ to see what was going on. Shawn

Arivitis slogs across the sand disappearing inside the /Rain/. > Shawn went into the /Walk/ to see what was going on. Sticking his head inside the hatch, Shawn sees Jac with a smile on his face leaning over to Mira whispering something. Mira is looking at Woof and Lessa. Woof is kneeling next to Lessa, just starting to rise, and Lessa is holding her daughter tight. Eris AKU GM

Shawn said his goodbye and waited for Ilane to do so, as well. Then, with a wave and the stuff they had for him, ships cash and the price of his one ton of cargo, he made his was back to the Rain. He stopped outside the hatch and watched Kelly and April walk in the sand. "Ilane, shall we switch places with them and take a walk?" Shawn smiled at her. Shawn

With a happy "Whoop!" she submerged under the water, only to reemerge a few seconds later right next to her boyfriend.
