Border planet Evellia

We have finally arrived at the border of the Falx Empire, which the closest planet is border trade hub world Evellia. The planet is the largest trading planet on the western border with over twenty thousand different races intermingling. This is where we will stock up, and meet my old friend to see if we can get in on another adventure.

After the training sessions, Sarah has become quite the dependable shooter and well a beginner at hand-to-hand combat. All I'll say is that she has much room to improve in on melee combat but her marksmanship is surprisingly very good, a few years and she might actually catch up to my skills in shooting. Sadly I never had any talent for ranged weapons and only reason I got this good is all the free time I had to practice, my specialties that I'm talented in is commanding and melee combat.

Well enough of that, as I prep my personal fighter for planetary landing with Sarah, APD-01 will be taking the standard shuttle down to stock up on the necessity's for the ship. Luckily he usually takes it serious when he goes down onto the planet unlike his joking personality on the ship.

We docked at the shipyard to register our descent over communications, we applied for personal descent where we did not require renting of a orbital transport. After the simple documentation was done, we were cleared for takeoff and descent onto the planet. Me and Sarah took off first with APD following behind.

"Wow, my first other world! I wonder what the culture and food is like?" Sarah blankly asked to herself as she stared off into the big green and red planet.

"By the way why is it red instead of blue?" She asked me while pointing at the planet.

"Instead if water, the planet has a natural reserve of what is best described as cold lava. I know that sounds contradictory but it is true. The lava is in fact cold and can be touched or if you want to swim in it, you can. It's naturally used as a resource to make coolant for space engines so people will buy it in large containers worth." I informatively state

"Ehh, cold lava exist?" Sarah just looks at me confused

"Well it's not exactly the same as lava, it just looks the same and has the same quality's except heat. Be careful though, we you heat up this cold lava it becomes sharp crystalites that people even use as swords because of their sharpness. Pain in the ass to clean out of the coolant system though, but we don't use that for my ship so no worries."

I continue to fly the ship downward where an escort ship comes to guide us into the spaceport for landing. Once landed, I pay for a security team to watch the ship, and lead Sarah to the closest marketplace.

"By the way Sarah, don't freak out when you see some weird looking races. Many people get offended easily now a days and fights often break out because of simple racial misunderstandings, especially in the Falx Empire where racial tensions are high" I caution Sarah since she is new tot his type of environment.

As we walk into the marketplace, we can see many different stall or vendors trying to get people to buy their wares. Most people decide to go to the shops that have actual stores instead of street stalls as the stores will be more trustworthy. I decide to take her into a local store instead of street vendors so she doesn't get scammed at all.

When we walk into the shop, we can see the holographic television is showing the current Falx Emperor giving a speech about the current war situation.

"We the true Imperial people have the responsibility to bring order and peace to this chaotic and dangerous galaxy. As you all know we are in a gruesome war against the Gorgonian Dominion and we are also plagued by the terrorist group calling themselves "Seekers of Chaos". All of these evil adversary's are keeping both you and I from living in peacefully without war or chaos. Do not fret because I you Emperor will safeguard all of the Empire and it's citizens. Glory to the Empire!!"

"Damn I hate politics, that's why I let my brother be the successor instead of me when my father said he wanted to retire to relax." I mutter under my breath

"Sarah here take this and buy you something as a souvenir. After that we are gonna go to the red light district to meet a friend of mine, don't worry we won't be staying in that area for long." I motion for her to hurry up and buy a souvenir so we can get to business.

It didn't take her long to buy a souvenir which happened to actually be this odd alien looking pocketbook which I almost mistook for a dead baby dragon. Once she payed for it, I lead us to the red light district which was only a good forty minute walk. When we arrived I looked around for a specific shop.

I found it after walking a few blocks, it was a strip club called "Dream on the horizon". It's the favorite of my old friend. We walked in, I told the woman at the front that we are only looking for someone and are not customers, which she let us in for a quick minute.

Hey Jax, where are you my old friend! It's Zen!" I yelled loundly into the club having all eyes turn toward me.
