"Yes...yes, of course!" I replied to Claxter. I had been so worried about Acoun and Captain Aldrea that I forgot about being safe.
I cued the computer to open a channel to all allied vessels within range, "To all ships in the area, this is Ambassador Kage Hamee of the Prodigy. We have turned up a transmission from the StarSavior. We advise all ships to remain in orbit of this planet...NR–156927–1...until further notice."
Then, "Ok. I'm taking us in."
I pressed a few keys, and a manual steering bar came up. It was one of those great inovations the Terrans came up with. And it felt more comfortable in my hands then a console did.
I steered us down...

The moon had a light cloud cover. Translucent at best. But most ship viewers could still see us on the surface.
The moon had virtually no atmosphere. If we did get out, it'd be with enviro-suits.
We skimmed the surface...it was so cold out on this Nebula Rogue –– which is why it was NR–156927–1 –– that the atmosphere was partly crystalized, floating in the 'air' or stuck on the surface. The Prodigy would have a few scratches when this was over for sure.
