[h2]Null[/h2]
Being Immortal, Null didn't require a stasis pod, and given her medical training and limited piloting ability, it made sense to have someone active aboard. Plus... putting a phoenix into stasis was... problematic and expensive. It was a lonely journey though. Null had reborn more times than she could count, and the dramatic length of the journey oft made her consider taking someone out of stasis... just for a little bit... But the stasis unit was a dangerous machine. They could sometimes be unpredictable if used inappropriately. And she definitely didn't want to be responsible for making one of the crew-mates mentally disabled... So she waited. Mostly passing her time aboard reading up on the planet they were headed towards. She tried to learn alot about the wildlife there, and a little about current probe climate readings, but it was tough... seeing as they spoke in terminology that was outside her realm of scientific knowledge. Even reading contextually, it was a challenge.

She was in her late-teens/young-adult stage when the ship announced Earth was in sight. She was so excited! According to the computer, Saturn and Venus were also in view. It was still two cycles after that when the ship announced landing procedures for the planet. Null buckled in, glowing white hot from anticipation for the ruins below. The landing went smoothly, and Null did her test (100%, yay!), then checked to make sure everyone was going through stasis wind-down for re-immersion into consciousness before opening the aft personnel hatch to enjoy the fresh air...

Earth... was beautiful. The bright ice blue of the sky surprised her, as most artist depictions of the planets surface showed it as more of a straight blue. This was however a far more gorgeous color. It matched very well with the green grass, which also was a surprisingly foreign shade when compared to Erellon's vegetation. Here and there was a tree in the distance, a twisted monument of old age in this very organic feeling tundra. The bright yellow sun was warm and felt lovely on her cytoplasm, and she honestly felt that this... this was the most beautiful place she had ever seen...
