Krystal picks up the rest of Richol's stuff and boards the shuttle. She looks at Balus before entering, "We can of course discuss dinner when we finish the mission." Adding a smile and then boarding the shuttle.

"Okay, sounds like a goos idea." Balus nodded, then turned to Slycer, "Cut it out, would you?"

Fegh climbs aboard the shuttle. He tells the pilot they are all aboard and he may request clearance from the bridge to depart.

The Shuttle arrives at the docking port of the space station tethered to the planet. The group exits the the ship to an empty hangar bay. It's clean and smells of ozone - clearly it has been completely sterilized. At the far end is a five foot humanoid robot in a silvery frame that approaches you.
"Please state name, number of persons, and await scanning for environmental suits."

Krystal is impressed at the robotic technology shown before her and comments to Richol, "Looks like a lot of their technologies are ahead of ours. Might be interesting to see what if anything we can learn from them. Although I am confused by this thing about environmental suits as well as the complete seeming sterilization of the bay."

" Maybe they could smell Slycer." Balus said under his breath. " I told him he was due for his bath this week." He smirked, looking at his partner.

"Nominal temperatures and atmospheric moisture levels are well outside optimum environmental conditions for your species. This unit is attempting to scan for measurements to rapid-manufacture environmental envelopes that will allow you to safely traverse planetside. Additional scans are performed to locate and terminate any potentially dangerous or unwanted bacteriological or viral matter." As the robot's eyes emit a scanning beam looking over everyone.
"I do not think I like being probed so...deeply." Major Trokyr grunts.
"We can't all be pretty like you." Slycer shoots back.
"Actually, that's probably me, but it's hard to clean off all the engine grease. And I have to say I like the smell of it. But that could just be me." Richol shrugs.

Krystal actually looks over herself as she knows it probably is not necessarily her, especially with her compulsion to remain clean. But still that does not mean there might not be some microbes brought back by the group. "I too love the smell of an engine, so long as it does not follow me though." She knows that it may seem a little insane but knows also that Balus has the right to know if he had not guessed it already yet. even if it is something that her co-mechanics tease her for.

" I gotta agree with the Major." Balus admitted, not liking the scan process. He thought about replying to Slycer, but knew the big grin on his face was enough. He did raise a brow at Krystal's comment," Engines have a smell?"

The robot finishes its scan. "Please wait here for hte next two hours while your suits are being manufactured. Help your self to refreshments at our complimentary bar."
A panel slides open where there are metal cups and several faucets.
"We hope you enjoy your stay at Orbital Dock. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you."
The robot walks out of the hangar bay.
"Uhm...ok...now what?" Richol asks.
"Lieutenant, you read the manual - assessment?" the Major asks Fegh.

Fegh looks incredibly interested by the whole procedure. He waits for the robots to walk away. When asked about the procedure, Fegh pulls the data pad from a pocket behind his back and quickly re-scans it to locate the section that was needed after the scan was complete.

Balus looked at the so-called bar," I'm scared to touch anything . They may have to disentigrate it to get my fingerprints off or something."

Krystal actually smiles at this new discovery but almost worried that Balus will see this and start to think differently of her. Especially with her obsession with keeping herself as clean as possible.

Fegh, reading the pad, they're going to need about two hours to manufacture suits for you to operate in their volcanic environment. The refreshments are there because you won't have much to eat or drink until you travel for an additional 5 hours to the planet surface to meet with the local customs officials.
Slycer smirks. "So...this is what civilian air travel must be like. Now I remember why I don't do it."
Richol is taking out some diagnostic equipment. "Krystal, give me a hand here, I want to make some metallurgical scans."

Krystal moves over to help Richol, "Sure thing Richol." She bends over to give him whatever help he needs. "You know I wonder why exactly we need environmental protection. I wonder if it is something that either Balus or I am immune to. Might be interesting to find out." Still bending over to help him out where she can.
