Sean watched as Kairu exited the Bridge. He himself was far too gone to even move just yet. He still needed to take everything in for awhile. He almost died today and, even though he almost died everyday, it still took a lot of getting used too. He was still young, after all. With a heavy sigh, he tried to relax his shaking nerves, but it seemed like it'd be awhile before he fully recovered. He decided to use this time to set in an orbital course over the planet.
He looked through the window and could see both planets were close by. The target course, Skarr, seemed brighter than the neighboring planet, which the screen displayed as Krax, which only seemed darker because it was completely overtaken by storm clouds. "Glad we don't have to go there..." Sean sighed in relief as the course of the ship turned towards the less-frightening of the two planets.
From the deck, Skarr had some visible marks from asteroid impacts. He could see where it got its name from. For the most part, though, it just seemed like a dusty rock with barely any oceans or green forests. He was hoping the planet's surface would look a little better, but he doubted it. Sean tipped the shuttle into Skarr's gravitational pull and found a modest-sized asteroid to hover over as he set the ship's course to orbit.
It seemed all the larger asteroids that orbited the planet were stable satellites. They didn't crash or smash into one-another, and only the little ones seemed to ever get pulls into the planet, but most of them burned up in the atmosphere anyway. It was here that Sean waited along with the Spacecraft preparing himself for landing. He decided to scan the surface below and find a good point to land. It would suck if he entered the planet opposite to where anybody or anything even was, so it was good to plan out a landing course prior to this.
Sean picked up something on the scans that looked like a tiny little village or town. He nodded and locked this area in to the plotted course, then smirked as he realized he'd finally gotten over his nerves. "Alright, Kairu. I'm taking us down. Meet you in the common area when we land." the commander said over the intercom as he took the ship out of orbit and gently descended into the planet's atmosphere.
He was somewhat excited to finally make it here, but at the same time, he was just praying that his reasons for being here were false.

OOC: Short post, but in my opinion, that's the end of Sunset. I'll more than likely add Skarr to the Uncharted Zones today if I'm not lazy lol
