Yerbol had been locked in concentration even after the landing gear had touched down and celebrations ensued, his eyes only opening when Neta's voice came over the intercom in a softer than normal pitch: "Teach me how to do that sometime..." Her voice was a touch wobbly, but evened out near the end of the phrase. Jolted out of the intense meditative trance he had been in just a few moments ago, the first thing he was greeted by was Aria's gaze, her dark eyes dancing with a combination of joy and pride. He reached out to her, feeling for the familiar "string"(he didn't what to call it yet) of energy that connected them and tugged at it with his mind gently before communicating: [i]If I could hug you right now, I would. Remind me to do that when we're not in front of your father because I don't want to get electrocuted [/i] He shot her a smile, rising to his feet to find the general atmosphere of the room coated with relief. It was hard to believe that individuals of such differing backgrounds and ideologies could come together during crisis successfully. Yerbol silently hoped their combined efforts would help spark collaboration for the sake of peaceful co-existence rather than playing the role of happy team member for the sake of survival. There was obviously much more work to be done, but for now...for now they had made a step in the right direction. And for that he was grateful. To put his thankfulness into action, he looked to acolytes and nodded in their direction. "You guys did really well. Thank you for your help." "I think we did ok..." Janika muttered, the Knight chortling. "We all did, Jani." This seemed to perk the young girl's spirits slightly, gently smiling at Manso. "Hopefully it won't take this much effort to figure out how to navigate the planet." "Why don't we find out?" Neta walked into the map room, activating the galaxy map before waving her left hand. The gesture replaced the star map with a flat, holographic grid that began to fill in. "Roan, I can't begin to appreciate these upgrades you made for me." She teasingly winked at him, fully aware that he did NOT appreciate her bubbly, somewhat flirtatious nature, but put up with it due to her skill. It was rather amusing to know that she could prod a Sith Lord and get away with it. The upgrades in question were in regards to the map that was beginning to fill in, or rather up. There were a number of triangular shapes that peaked near the ceiling of the ship with small spaces in between that had scattered circles and other broken shapes. Once the geometric map finished, Neta pointed at the triangles and informed the group: "These are the mountains that serve as the probable cause of what you all just navigated us through. The scanners onboard can only go about two miles in any direction, so you can see that most of what surrounds us are very, very tall mountains that have naturally created valleys with a lot of plant life...as evidenced by the circles. We..." She pointed at a minuscule hexagon in the middle of the map. "Landed in one of the valleys. Judging from what I've seen from my window, we're surrounded by forest that runs right up against the mountains, although there do seem to be some structures here...and here." There were two tiny rectangles to the right of the hexagon that stood just beyond a group of circles. "So, we've got a few things that need to get done. For starters, I'm gonna need Manso to take a look at our systems, seeing as the shield generators fritzed out about halfway through our descent. I'll need a couple of people on the outside to take a look for damage taken to the hull and another person to look at our stock of supplies onboard and figure out how we're gonna keep us all fed and hydrated. I'm going to work on communications and getting to my contacts on secure channels to make sure they know where to send our Masters, which leads me to our last need: we're going to need a base of operations. My ship, while a lovely hunk of metal, isn't going to cut it. We'll need to sent out scouts. I'm assuming..." She looked to Yerbol. "You're going to want to do that...and you too, right?" She made eye contact with Aria. "Might be best if you guys and Roan head out to whatever those rectangles represent. Sound good?"
