Strihiria! It's a somewhat nocturnal planet, due to the distance from its nearest star, its sun, but it's fairly densely populated. We're making a delivery during an eclipse, if I remember right.
[ reaching up to rub the side of their neck as they think, a dull, muted twinge of pain accompanying something thoughtful. ]
Ah, I suppose I should ask if you know what an eclipse is... someone else I spoke to didn't. Maybe I'll write up something, add it to the slideshow... or just post it...
Nope, this'll be the Eudora's first time on this route. We had a neighboring galaxy during the winter tour, and used the month between to do upgrades, construction, and transit to this one.
The planets on this tour are all contracted with Nut & Bolt, though, so other employees and ships in the fleet have been. They're not unfamiliar in that regard.
Not anymore. The 20 members we trained under and worked with over our two months together had a variety of reasons for leaving during that time period.
Promotions, ship transfers, retirement... some just decided to use their vacation time. One is on parental leave, their wife delivered a baby planetside right at the end of the tour. The eight of us volunteered to keep the Eudora company during her system upgrade and the construction.

Say, where is this ship headed right now, anyway?
[ looking out the window, like that might help her somehow. ]

I guess some planets might be different, though...

I think some planets might not have a name for it, but could be that they're also different. But spot on in this case.

I mean like, when you did a tour before. Was it the same route?
