Chapter 66 - Settling In -

The planet of Chandrila came into view as you dropped out of the hyperspace lane and slowed your descent into the planets atmosphere. Lerona was still getting used to her shortened hair, but Omega and Wrecker were so excited to explore the planet it was hard to feel sad. Hunter was skeptical as usual, but having his worries addressed, and his pilot in a good mood helped him to just relax and partake in the excitement buzzing about the ship.

You did your best to focus on setting up Lerona well, and think about how this would be a wonderful opportunity for her. She would have her independence, and some semblance of safety. Lerona could have a home here. But you would occasionally find your mind thinking back to the home you used to share with her, and when you would look across the ship making eye contact with her honey brown eyes you knew she was thinking the same thing. There was still more healing and distance from the past to be gained, but this was a solid first step.

The planet in question was beautiful and when you came through the atmosphere and flew towards Hanna City it was early morning. The sun was shining gently through the few cloud present in the sky, and all of you had crowded up front in the cockpit to see the view of the Silver Sea as you had flown in. You had never seen a body of water that wasn't blue before, and it made you question if it was really even water. It held up to its name, and its ripples of water splashed gray and silver over its surface.

The ship dock Tech had decided on was mainly for use by tourists, but as such it had high security and it made him feel better about leaving the ship unmanned. The ship dock and surrounding buildings all seemed to be made of a white metal that reflected the light of the sun giving the city a warm glow against the oceans cool silver. There were many walkways and circular buildings, and you could see and feel the bustle of life surrounding you. Everyone dressed more casually then usual, leaving only wrist pieces and boots for armor and a plan was made for exploring the city.

While still in hyperspace Lerona had found a few housing options and been accepted to one of the jobs. She wanted to get some clothes and dress more locally before meeting with her employer and then inquiring about housing. Naturally you wanted to go with Lerona and she seemed relieved to have your company. Omega at first wanted to go with you, but Hunter suggested that she join him and Wrecker in visiting a few tourist destinations.

"I promise I'll come back and say goodbye" Lerona said and you smiled reassuringly in Omegas direction so she acquiesced "alright, I'll go with you guys. I can't wait to see the Silver Sea up close!"

"Are you coming with us?" Hunter asked Tech, who had been looking over something on his comfort-holopad as he usually does. Tech looked up from his screen and took a scan of the room. His coffee was still in hand, and his face neutral with a hint of sleepiness.

"if we are splitting our excursions evenly then the tactical decision would be for me to join Y/N and Lerona." he stated factually and Omega giggled.

Lerona nodded, and you opened your mouth to reply but Wrecker laughed loudly cutting you off "Have fun with your lady friend hahahah".

Tech frowned and went back to reading, but the glance you shared with Hunter indicated Tech would be joining you.

You and Lerona got ready, and Omega, Wrecker and Hunter set out shortly after your chat. You and Lerona both wore the available robes you had on hand, but Tech surprised you by emerging from the refresher with a nice long sleeve shirt, his mercenary vest and glasses.

"You've had glasses this whole time?" You ask, the surprise showing on your face.

"Correct" he replied, the lenses on this pair of glasses were still circular and orange but they took up less space visually then the goggles did.
