Recon, more than anything else. Blending in with the population of the planet to get information. You're not really going in to acquire the heartseed, you're just going to see if you can't find out what it is and if it might be the problem causing the spacial disruption that's keeping us from taking our route to the next planet.
In the mission I went on, it wasn't dissimilar. Aristocrats, a party...
I'd say we could return to file a complaint, considering we were warned but not exactly walking on board the craft ourselves. But I need to recharge the power of the craft so that we can make the return jump back in full, so we might as well either find out what we can.
It says here the population is wealthy aristocracy. Are they from this particular area, if someone asks? Or do they come from other realms - far further off planets, and the like. [ how much lying does he have to do, actually ] And I know you've not much information on the heartseed itself, but will it be something that is talked about openly? Or something kept secret - or is that something we must suss out when we arrive...?
[ *either find out what we can or enjoy it WAUGH I CAN'T TYPE TODAY
they huff a soft, synthetic laugh at that. ]
No one is from this planet, and from what I've gathered... many of them paid an exorbitant amount of money to be able to attend this ceremony. So you can certainly say that you're not from here and be able to get away with it. [ considering... ] I think perhaps you may have to sus it out when you arrive. Your listening ears might be wise, here, Mistral.
If your staff is not among the gear here, then something reminiscent of it should be.
[ thoughtful ]
But, no. I don't think it should be too bad. The four of you are certainly not the worst group to send into this sort of situation, if I'm going to be honest, so as long as you're not reckless it should be fine. Worst comes to worst I'll bring the ship down for you and get us off planet.
How convenient. [ dryly. ] Well, at least that's good for something.
[ he can :coerce: if necessary. break some shields. etc.
he glances over the other three... well... this could definitely be worse? maybe he can teach kazuki some cool inquisitioning skills. ] Alright. How long did you say it would take to recharge?
Might as well be grateful for it in some capacity.
[ because they're certainly not relaxed despite their usual calm demeanor. ]
The afternoon, probably. If I need to land it and set things up for it to babysit itself to come join you, I'll do that, but otherwise I'll stay with it to make sure no one tampers with it and we can have it in case of emergency.
[ he can whack the shit out of stuff it's something he's good at. ]
And how long will this mission itself take, ideally? Just that time frame? I believe that's wise - we'll be able to communicate with you through those devices, you said.
[ not worried about you. worried about the normies. ]
A little past the afternoon, I would imagine. Perhaps a return in the early evening once all is said and done. [ but they do nod in agreement. sounds good to them. ]
I'll send a message to see, but the mission notice was sent out on Tuesday. You had the chance to talk about it with others and I believe the officers should know I'm gone.

[ hi adrastea. temenos is poking around the clothing, staff in one hand, tugging on fabric with the other.... investigating.... ]
Finding information and solving a puzzle...? I'm feeling a bit spoiled. Have you been down to this place, before?
no subject
[ rueful, amused, but their head tilts thoughtfully. ]
No, not this planet. I've been on a mission like this of my own before to another one, though, so it's something that I've dealt with.
no subject
What was that like? Anything we can expect that might be the same?

Now that, I am more than capable of.

You said security could be trouble? Will we have weapons taken from us? Though... I suppose I will have to choose one.

perhaps temenos didn't tell someone that he should have. ]

Anguis is going to hang you up by the ankles when we get back. [ just like. observationally said. ]

I'll buy her some sweets planetside to makeup for it. It'll be fine.
