Michael was roused from his slumber by the loud beeping of the ship. Groaning Michael sat up, running the sleep from his eyes. "Computer. Status?"
An electronic female voice replied. "Approaching Haroni. Estimated time until atmosphere breach: fifteen minutes."
Standing up Michael stretched and worked out the kinks in his body. "Rise and shine everyone. I recommend taking seats before being thrown about the ship upon entering the atmosphere." Michael sat in his chair. Lilian joined him then shortly after Ashira. "Dampener is engaged. Entering atmo." The X-105 entered the atmosphere, the edges of the cockpit lighting up orange as the exterior heated up. The older cargo vessel jostled around but other than they dropped through with no problems. "We're in the pipe, five by five." Michael flipped several switches, putting the ship in atmosphere flight mode. Now that they were flying under the effects of the planet's gravity many of the thrusters around the ship weren't needed to control the ship so they were shut down to conserve energy. "Wow this place looks amazing." Smiling Michael flew them to their destination. A series of islands. Jutting out into the water was a large walkway with four platforms branching off it. Two of them already had ships on them. Michael set the X-105 down on the inner left one.
Michael eyed someone shuffling up the walkway. He seemed to be coming to greet them. Bellhop maybe? Manager even? They did show up out of the blue. "Hey uh, princess. Might want to do the talking here. That guy looks mad." The pilot hit the button, instead of lowering the cargo ramp the floor between the seats dropped and formed stairs leading right below the ship, under the flight deck. "Watch your step they're a little steep."
