Pilgrimage

[Caconym]

As the Vicar's ship descended through the radioactive, turbulent atmosphere of Gammu, shaking from the rather sudden arrival into a pressurized environment, and buffeted by sudden gusts of wind, it was met by a single Drone-class vessel rising to meet it after the communication had been sent. The drone went past the ship, turning to enter formation with it, seemingly unaffected by the turbulences. Then, suddenly, a data burst was received a few instants after the original transmission.

>"Welcome"

That was all that was said. No warm introductions, no emotional words, nothing. Just a simple, efficient message.

"Welcome".

The drone positioned itself in front of the Vicar's ship, guiding it to one of the numerous landing pads dotting the surface of Gammu.
