A-332: Shuttle Hio
Pilot Skill
I noticed you bumped Lia’s pilot skill up, you’re welcome to do that of course, but don’t feel you have to.
Shuttle Hio
Kwint rolls the shuttle out to a takeoff point on the Downport and lifts the shuttle into a sub-orbital flight that has it cross half the globe.
Flight time is 7 Tasks.
When the Shuttle left the Downport it was nearly dawn, however Lia has just crossed half the time zones on the planet and it is now just after sunset and still dark.
In Dominion Standard it’s BG04 on Lia Day 70, just past dinner time.
Kwint brings the shuttle down on the Grassland Estate’s runway. Through the cockpit window Lia can see the strip’s landing lights and not much else, a cluster of lights of to the far left, though she did note a bright patch as they flew the descent – possibly the settlement Kort mentioned.
The shuttle is directed to an open pad just off the runway and after a delay, a vehicle can be seen coming towards them.
When it arrives at the shuttle it can be seen that unlike the bus at the main Downport, this is a more rugged vehicle, with big wide tyres. The boarding tube assembly on the back looks to be a non-factory modification.
However, it connects to the shuttle and everyone can disembark.
Does Lia want to do anything enroute or before leaving?
I like to spend points on skills Lia’s been using a lot and Piloting seemed like something she’s been focusing on. 😊
If there’s food onboard she’ll have some kind of snack since she neglected to eat earlier. Otherwise she will simply freshen up and collect her belongings, including the RFID that was left on Hio.
