The ship is capable of atmospheric entry and soft landings. It has a crew of twenty, composed of four flight crew, one medic, two security and thirteen scientists. <br><br>Everyone has their own cabin. Additionally, each department has either a lab or an office. Flight crew counts as a department their "office" is the bridge, but additionally, the Captain has a day-room off the bridge and connected to his/her cabin. Also, the Engineer has a machine shop down near the engine spaces.<br><br>There is a recreation room too, as well as communal showers and "heads" (toilets).<br><br>I don't think it's necessary to go into too much detail regarding the actual workings of the ship, as it is going to be on-planet for the entire story.<br><br>The ship IS armed, with a single missile turret, capable of launching a maximum of five nuclear tipped missiles, one every thirty seconds. However, the Captain's authorisation is required to arm the turret!<br><br>((This is a place-holder post - If people would like me to, I will draw some plans of the ship's layout. This is where I expect most of the human players to start)).

				The Galileo was settled in a large plain surrounded by the vast jungle that stretched out as far as the eye could see.&nbsp; The crew were busy going about their tasks, samples were collected, readings added to the data already collected.&nbsp; The Captain, a tall stunning red head stood watching from the open hatch.&nbsp; She had a sense that this place wasn't what they wanted.&nbsp; There was just something about it.<br><br>Lisa was not new to colonising planets.&nbsp; But this was the first one she had been Captain of the support vessel.&nbsp; She had a couple of security patrolling the area and the scientists were working hard.&nbsp; She walked down the ramp, a small device that was used for scanning and generally recording data in her hand.&nbsp; But she still watched the jungle, anything could be hiding in the dense growth there.&nbsp; She had given firm instructions to her crew not to venture out of the plain.<br><br>Walking around the ship she used the time to check the vast vessel over.&nbsp; She wasn't the biggest of the research vessels around, but she was one of the most advanced.&nbsp; The equipment she had was top notch and the highest grade.&nbsp; She spotted one of the senior scientists, and headed over towards him.<br><br>“Hey Dan, hows it looking?” she asked him, standing next to him and surveying the area.<br><br>The small man peered at her over a pair of very old fashioned glasses, she didn't know why he wore them, there was no need these days.&nbsp; “Its alright, just I keep getting strange bursts of body heat, but when I moved closer to identify it, its gone.&nbsp; Its weird, its as if there are beings out there but they move fast and disappear.&nbsp; Probably just some indigenous species that is wondering what we're doing here” he said, he nasally voice almost sounding like he was sulking.<br><br>“strange, I keep feeling were being watched, but I cant ever see anyone”&nbsp; He nodded, but didn't say anything.&nbsp; “Well let me know if you find anything” she said, sensing he wanted to continue on with his work.&nbsp; Lisa stood were she was, about 50 meters from the edge of the forest.&nbsp; Something was there, watching her, she could almost feel its eyes on her.&nbsp; She shook her head, she had to get over the nerves, this was not a&nbsp; planet with any intelligent life.&nbsp; The teams has assured them.&nbsp; They would have no problems making this a colony.<br><br>She hoped they were right....

				Sarah Chamberlain had come aboard the Galileo as the Anthroxenologist, a fancy way of saying that she had language skills and was decent with humans. Supposedly, that would mean she would be able to bridge the gap between her species and that of any intelligent life they'd find out in the universe...But this trip was supposed to be void of that. It was a routine colonizing operation on a planet with primates being the most sophisticated thing on it.<br><br>This was her first mission, her first real operation outside of training school, so she was doing her best not to mess it up. So far so good, though they'd only just landed on the planet and hadn't really begun anything serious, yet.<br><br>Sarah walked around until she came outside, getting a view of the horizon; beautiful, tropical, completely nonthreatening. There was a tension in the air, though, something nobody could quite put their finger on, yet everybody felt it. Perhaps it was just the typical atmosphere of any first-landing on a new planet?<br><br>Yes, that had to be it. It's not like there were some alien life out there watching them; scans and observation had eliminated that possibility, certainly.
