Frost System (Bsidd Region)

Flake

Sophia rode on a Dragon-class dropship along with over 200 other Snowstorms down from the cargo jumpship watching the view via a series of wall-mounted displays and getting a view of their new homeworld as they dipped into the atmosphere. The moon was huge and covered in pinks and greens, for the natural foliage seemed to predominate in those two colors. There were a pair of ice caps on either pole and long streaks of blue that made up the planet’s narrow oceans that almost connected the two, bracketed by high mountain ranges easily visible from orbit.

The rest of the planet was more or less flat and covered with forest as far as Sophia could see. She’d run through the reconnaissance reports earlier, but seeing it here now, in person, was an entirely different experience. There was so much open space that it literally felt mindboggling, and for the first time since she’d volunteered for and acquired an advance slot on a construction crew did she start to wonder if Oni really did know what she was doing by orchestrating this move.

And the planet, or rather moon…she wasn’t going to get used to thinking of it as such since it was way bigger than Arwen…had been given a proper Clan name of ‘flake’ rather than one assigned prior to their acquisition of the system. In fact, all the planets/moons were getting fitting names, which was another sign that this was indeed going to become home as soon as they set down proper roots…which she was seeing none of from orbit.

There weren’t any cities whatsoever, and since her volunteering had occurred prior to any major construction reports getting back to Sol she didn’t know where they were actually heading. When the dropship decelerated and hit the thick lower atmosphere she was surprised to see them dart off across the water, leaving the land behind entirely and her wondering if her Clan had started with an aquatic colony. That would be very odd if they did, but at this point she and the others were just along for the ride and would have to wait and see.

About 20 minutes later a dot appeared on the watery horizon that eventually grew into a large island, on top of which a few spires were visible. When they got closer Sophia could also see a large structure jotting off the side and into the ocean, which she recognized as an aquatics facility. Smiling, she realized that for a startup this was in fact the perfect location, giving all aspects of the Snowstorms a chance to get up and running immediately.

As the dropship crossed over the wide beaches and into the vast interior it flew through a forest of pink with only a few dots of green here and there. Several more minutes and they finally came to an artificial clearing and landed on a dirt field, with instructions for the passengers to debark immediately. Sophia got up out of her seat with the others and moved out, having no personal belongings with her.
