The crew was actually quite eager to go, once Ivy had her affairs settled. The next couple of planets they visited would be entirely uneventful, being uninhabited by anything larger than a rat, and they'd spend the next several months in the boring drudgery of the work, cataloging plants and animal species, and making reports. Still, it paid well enough to keep doing it, and there was always the promise of something more exciting!<br/><br/>"Let's see... this next planet's coming up on the scans..." Kerric said, about twenty minutes after their jump. "Lots of biomass, from the looks of it. Showing a lot of grassy plains, rivers and lakes, near as I can tell. Probably hot and humid, without much shade, if I had to guess. Want me to set you down on the side that's in winter?" he asked, chuckling.
