Curufin Fëanorion | Orange Team

Preparations -- OTA:

In the dressing car, Curufin gets into his flight suit, or whatever it is, pulls on a hard hat, stuffs his climbing gear into a bag and slings it over his shoulder. There's going to be a lot of stuff slung over his shoulders, including his tool kit and his goblin sword. Drop order is announced, and he grabs onto a handhold.

"Looks like Orange Team is first off the train this time! Well, I can hardly wait." He's laughing.


Arrival:

After the train shudders and lurches, as usual, it drops out of the Void and onto the planet. Curufin runs to the doors and jumps off the train with Team Orange. It seems they have come in on a railroad track, and now they are pulled up in front of a metal and glass building. Sky full of dark clouds, hot breeze, red sand, dust, bright lights. Big metal gates and security cameras.

"Modern," he remarks.


Exploration:

He shoves the gates open and walks through, looking carefully at everything in sight. Then he goes into the building, pushing open the glass doors and entering the big lobby. He goes to the circular desk and knocks on it with his knuckles.

"Anybody home? Got a room for twenty?" As though this were a hotel.

And then it is time to search the building. They don't find any people, but eventually they find the lab. Curufin wanders around, poking at the equipment, peering at the readouts to see what the sensors are measuring.

"Looks like the usual? Atmospheric data? Anybody got any ideas as to where the scientists are? Maybe we should look in the closets and see if they're hiding from us. After all, do they know who we are? Maybe they think we're the bad guys."
