It wasn't a particularly unordinary evening as the heavy wheels of the aircraft thump and screech as they reunite with the earth. The massive metal bird rolls across still hot pavement, only the light-polluted sky and the structure of the airport keeping the passengers company beyond the pressurized walls. The lumbering giant rolls to a stop next to a wide docking port, a boarding bridge extending to link dock and plane. The hiss of hydraulics heralds the plane's door opening up wide, allowing the stream of passengers to exit the confining space. As the crowd of people thins, a crackling sound can be heard in your ear as you stroll down the port. Nothing comes after the crackling ceases, but a looming figure gives pause to each passenger before leaving the gate. A security officer, ork by his stature and face, scans his small eyes along each passenger to occasionally pull aside one for a 'routine check.' His shrewd gaze takes a second glance at you before grunting and turning away, choosing a downtrodden elf next in line. A short walk leads you to the main chunk of the port, referred to by a holo-map as 'the Hub.'<br/><br/>If it didn't have the planes flying around above the domed glass ceiling, it'd be easy to mistake the airport as a casino or some other vibrant environment. Bright lights attempt to usher tourists into their waiting clutches, seizing their valuable cash and likely giving them something alcoholic in return. The stuff was everywhere; small stands advertise beer, a bar raves about their unique creations, and a few hooded men usher people over for some “real hooch.” Not much time is given to admire the surroundings, however, as the crackling resumes once more.<br/><br/>“Oi, if you're going to stand around and gawk at something, at least go outside first! I can't keep you off the map forever, you know.” The feminine voice resounds loudly in your ear, touches of irritation clearly being picked up over the static-filled link. “Plus, I'm gettin' bored waitin' out in this heat!"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
