A visitor

[Arant]

---

Events had unfolded in a way Dr. Lillian Genda of the SLRC hadn't ever come to expect since the loss of the Norant to circumstances beyond their control. First a swarm of Nomads materializing out of nowhere that, for some strange reason, must have had something to do with that odd structure she'd come across of which she only just narrowly evaded death. Secondly, a meeting with a 'friend' of her esteemed colleague Dr. Wright of whom was currently missing in action somewhere in the Dublin system or beyond. Finally, a meeting with the Artificial Intelligence that hadn't ended in her immediate death. Yet. Phi-34 and Unit 9467F. An agreement had been made and for her own safety she'd have to stick to it.

Reluctantly she unclipped the holstered Daumann Energy Pistol from her leg, tossing it into the storage rack behind her as the Wanderwell automated the docking procedure. Lillian secured her air, helmet, and suit to ensure no leaks or potential loss would occur. From what little she learned of them she knew none needed nor would ever logically make their internal ships or systems habitable for organic life. As it came to a stop she pushed the canopy open and hopped out, the flashlight attached to her helmet flicking on as she stepped onto the semi-lit platform. All she had on her was a basic hand scanner synced up to her suit and helmet HUD, pen, and paper.

Slowly she panned around, looking for the welcoming party, getting both the excitement and anxiety jitters that came with what was basically first contact.
