EVENT: MINING COLONY V'VORTE

Who: Councilor Labismat, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, OPEN
Where: V’Vorte
When: June 4th-8th
Warnings: N/A

The Fleet stations itself near V’Varga, the more populated planet of the V’V system, but the majority of the ships are ferrying people down to V’Vorte. Mainly desert, the only things of interest on it seem to be the Mining Plains, which stretch for hundreds of miles; the Blue Circus, which lights up the nights with laser shows and fireworks; and the small town that supports the first two and serves as a small island of normality among the eccentric carnies and boisterous miners. There are rides to and from the Teuberg twice a day, in case you would rather not stay overnight, which are overseen by Science Captain McEngineer, who gives an energetic explanation of the types of metal needed when asked. Back on the Teuberg, Councilor Labismat can be found greeting the ships coming back in, checking on any progress being made.

The V’V natives are mostly humanoid in appearance, with reddened skin tones and large eyes that help them see in the dimmer light of their sun. Most of them, especially the miners, are quite friendly and seem unfazed by the variety of species the Fleet has brought to their doorstep. The only Transports who might get a second glance are the robotic ones, as the mining mechs vaguely resemble them.

The petting zoo was a good break, especially since Axl didn't much like the looks he was getting from the security guys after his storm on the games. Not his fault that he could compensate for the way the games were rigged. Sheesh.

The animals were pretty neat, and he had his own shirt full of food for critters... which was probably going to be unfortunate since he spotted Grell being chased by a whole flock of the zebra-flamingos.

"Uh.. hi!" Axl said, waving to Grell. A couple of the birds perked up as some of the feed spilled from the impromptu pocket he made of his shirt.

Grell saw Axl and decided to turn back to him and throw the rest of whatever feed she was holding at his feet. Soon, the flock gravitated towards him for the feed.

Sorry, Axl. You make a great distraction.

"Aw, c'mon!" Axl said, wailing it a little bit given the rather large flock making a beeline for him.

In a flash his armor was back on-- maybe due to a stray peck, maybe due to the fact that those birds were kinda scary in large numbers. The feed scattered everywhere, and a lot of the flamingos had no problem using him as a platform to stand on to get at it.

"Stupid birds!"

Meanwhile, with Grell finally free from her adoring crowd, she observed the birds getting to know Axl a bit better. His armor appearing wasn't something she expected to happen. How was that possible?

"Where did that come from?
