[Will all passengers wishing to visit the surface of the planet please report to the common area on the fourth floor for sorting and transport vessel assignments.] The ship's announcement declared.
Max, Nico, and all of the Battalion Commanders were waiting there for the intrepid passengers to come and get officially prepared to leave Terminus.
Terminus herself would be pretty much empty by the time they finished getting everyone loaded, a strange situation for the Colony Ship, but a little planetside vacation was exactly what everyone needed after all of the chaos that they had endured lately.
There was more than enough room in a single Cutter to load all the passengers as well as the Mecha compliment, but it was better to mitigate the chances of catastrophe by spreading them out between all three that were going to be off duty to start the visit.
