Unusual Local Customs: Almost 95% of Frenzie's population are vegetarians.  Meat was in short supply
                       after the colony was initially founded, and gradually dropped out of the
                       diet of most inhabitants.
                       Divorce is illegal on Frenzie, unless the marriage has lasted at least five
                       standard years.
                       When dealing with Frenzie's population, visitor's should be aware that many of
                       them belong to secret guilds, clubs and societies.  Finding which of these
                       organisations a person belongs to (and espousing support for it) can often have
                       favourable results.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Frenzie system."

Profit Margin drops into normal space, almost 3,000 million kilometres from where the system's two mismatched suns, one a sullen subgiant, the other a hot dwarf star in a fast tight orbit, the pair linked by a curved streamer of plasma.  Of course, at this range, and to the naked eye, the two suns just look like any other star in the sky.  But much brighter.

Jago runs through the figures, "Good job, Ash, we're right on target."  The ship has arrived just under 400,000 kilometres from Frenzie itself.  The planet is far less interesting than the two suns, a barren, airless ball of rock - no water, no forests, no farms, no cities.  At least not on the surface.

Frenzie is a mining world, and the population lives and works deep underground.

While the planet might be uninteresting, the space immediately around it draws a low, "Damn!" from Jago, as he sees the sensor readings.  Then, activating the intercom, "Attention all crew, please report to the Bridge immediately."

It'll be crowded with everybody in there, but he doesn't want to leave his station just now.

As he hears the summons, Tylen  pulls himself upright off of his bunk.  Long ago he learned that if you were out of sight, you were often out of mind when it came to 'special' orders.  Anyway, he already knew how long it will take him to get to the turret from just about every where on the ship.

His eyes glint for a second and a fleeting smile crosses his face  Shall I run and measure it?  See how long it takes people to get out of the way of a gunner on a mission?  he shakes his head then, still grinning, makes his way in an orderly fashion, to the bridge.

It has been a typical trip, the only 'excitement' being Ash Tescali's physical, breaking Shui's routine.  With more passengers on the vessel, she finds herself busy day-in, day-out, assisting the passengers in first class, tending to the other passengers, checking the vitals of the monks in the Low Berth chambers, and seeing to the crew's needs for food and libation.  Also, the usual cleaning of the common areas occupied some time; the more technical areas of the ship are the purview of those crewmembers in charge of that area - Shui would not dream of cleaning engineering, for example, as Saskia has her own methods of doing so and would likely be put out if things were stowed differently.  With good reason - Shui would feel the same if someone rearranged her medical area).

She had her exercise routine as well - jogging around the ship and, more often, going through her own routines in the privacy of her medical office/cabin. Then there was her study of the world ahead, to better prepare herself to assist the passengers and crew upon landfall.

In the scant hours outside her duties, she continued her studies of her 'guests' - the organisms she keeps in her cabin - and takes time to shadow the crewmembers in their duties.  After inquiring, of course.  Shui makes sure to request some time down in Engineering with Saskia Blake, should the engineer be amenable.

It might help to have someone with at least a passing familiarity regarding repairs if things go wrong - an assistant, if nothing else.

But now Jago's request comes out over the com lines, and Shui, already prepared for drop, immediately thumbs the general intercom.

+ Would all passengers please remain in your quarters until informed otherwise by a crew member. +  This said as she slips out into the hallway, breaking into a jog.

"Mr. Ogresh!"  Spotting the gunner ahead, Shui picks up her pace a touch, falling into place beside him.  "Do you have any idea what this might be?" she inquires in low tones.

Tylen slows slightly to allow Shui to catch up with him, but shrugs his shoulders at her question.  ”None at all.” he replies just as softly, as he stands back slightly to allow the Doctor through the hatchway in front of him.

"Distressing."  Shui's lips thin as she marches onward, inclining her head in appreciation of Tylen's chivalry.  No doubt things would be different were there danger on the other side of the hatch...

There could be, she reflects.  Jago isn't likely to have good news, given the request.

So she merely continues for the bridge, glancing at the state of the coffee-machine on her way through.  The coffee is perking, hot water boiling - she had prepared herself for the Drop, and set them on timer.  Should it be required, Shui will at least have something to offer the crew.

I should make sandwiches, comes an inane thought.  But no - Jago requested her presence, so off to the bridge.

Saskia almost doesn't hear the announcement, what with her head being inside an inspection panel.  Fortunately she does hear the part about going to the bridge immediately.

She doesn't go quite immediately, though, taking the time to close the panel and secure it, before returning her tools to the case.  Then, and only then, she heads for Jago's meeting.  Ahead of her, she can see Shui and Tylen.

By the time they step through to the bridge, Saskia is right behind them, and just as baffled as regards what might be happening.

Ash nodded to Jago as he complimented him on his Astrogation skills, "Thank you, Captain.  I've had plenty of practice."

He glanced at the Captain with a furrowed brow when Jago ordered the crew to the Bridge.  However, he did not attempt to pry any further figuring that everything would be explained in short order.  No use in making the Captain explain everything more than once, he thought to himself; so, he kept his mouth shut while he waited.

When Shui, Tylen and Saskia entered the bridge, Ash looked at them and gave them a small shrug as if to say that he didn't know what was going on either.

"Typical, just when I'm in the shower," Yas sighs as she steps out of her gun control room, in which there is no room for a shower at all.

"So, wassup?  Did we forget someone or did someone forget to go to potty before we took off?" she inquires as she leans against the wall using her should, crossing her arms as well as her legs in a very relaxed posture.
