Rimora entered Planet Pecado's atmosphere, closing in on the spaceport that they'd be landing.
From the viewport in the bridge, the mates could see four huge buildings, each with their unique shape, with widely- spaced wall like infrastructures that surrounded each of them, serving as their boundaries and like a lot of other planets, stood one sole city.
The four irregular buildings, each being the central building for different spaceports, formed a square shape with each of them at a corner, and the city, popularly known as Sin City, stood in the middle of that square shape.
Rimora already had a spot booked in one of those spaceports and having contacted, it was the duty of the spaceport to navigate them towards their designated spot.
The spacecraft's speed decreased as the mates braced for landing.
It was close to sunrise for the Sin City but the lights that navigated the direction of where Rimora should land shone brightly, slightly overshadowing the multiple lights in the spaceport.
"And... We've landed," Arwan announced.
"Shuuuu..." Femi made an overexaggerated stretch. He expressed with a smile, "Finally, we're on land again."
Femi and Arwan had both shown their satisfaction of landing, while Eina just looked with constricted iris, through the bridge's viewport, absorbing everything that she could see.
Even Femi and Arwan momentarily gazed at the outrageous light around the area.
"Heading right to business, I presume?" Femi asked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"That's the best thing to do..." Arwan suggested, standing to go to his quarters. "We should change what we wear... I don't even advise us to wear our crew's mark here. I should have a different mask-"
Femi waved, shorting Arwan words, "I have a mask that my old man gave me, I'll just wear that." He proceeded to point at Eina, "Is Lil coming with us though? She ain't got a bodysuit to wear, talk less of an outfit."
A strike of realization hit Arwan, Eina completely slipped his mind, "She ain't got a bodysuit 'cause she is small. The sizes of the bodysuit with me are all big," With a quick turn to face Eina, he said, "No offense there by the way. You look cute. But sorry, you'll have to stay on the ship."
Getting a slight nod from her, Arwan continued, "In fact, let's do that first. We get a bodysuit that fits Eina, then every other thing follows."
Femi stroked his chin, posing a thinking stance, "Then again, Eina is so strong she doesn't need a bodysuit."
"There are other uses for a body-"
Arwan was about to explain when Femi interrupted.
"Y'know what? Let's just get the suit." He said, walking towards the door leading to the quarters. "See you in the cargo." He waved as the door closed.
Arwan stared at the door, a bit ticked off by Femi's lack of interest.
After a bit of little one-sided talks, Arwan and Eina also left the bridge.
*****
Eina was the only one in the cargo, she waited for her other mates to get dressed so she wouldn't miss seeing them off.
Femi and Arwan walked out of the lower double door in the cargo.
Femi wore a baggy black long sleeved t-shirt that had a hood and a black pants, he wore his white bodysuit underneath but was well concealed by Femi's attire. He held in one hand, Negraazul, his sword and in his other hand a black mask.
Arwan donned a blackish-blue engineer's suit with his bodysuit underneath. He had his bodysuit's hood on and covering his face was an oni mask. He had his one handed bag draped over his shoulders.
"Nice mask you got there," Arwan complimented, slightly impressed.
"Is it? I got it as my last birthday gift," Femi explained. "Are we going now?"
"Yeah yeah, sure,"
Knowing it's time to go, Femi wore his mask. The view this mask had was limited compared to the Rimora Mask, but it still served as a tool that could activate Femi's active trait, [Lagged Planes] and the passive trait where his concentration on something or someone is heightened.
It was a black mask that was designed with a red color. Red Xs crossed the eye holes with an additional design that made it looked like the eyes were bleeding and at the mouth part, a zigzag line was there.
When the mask completely covered his face, he took a deep breath, opening his eyes. The eye hole only revealed his red pupils.
Femi then used his hood to cover up.
"Oi, Eina, See ya," Femi waved at her.
"We'll be back in a bit." Arwan assured.
Eina wanted to just wave, but she forced herself to say, "Bye. I'll... I'll be waiting."
Femi and Arwan rode out of the ship with the hoverbike. They asked for navigations that'll direct them towards Sin City itself.
The whole spaceport was lit up by various signboards of the multiple mini infrastructures and the central building of the spaceport. The grounds of the spaceport also had lights that created different patterns that designated the roads and other sections of the port.
Sin City was a place where it was lively at night and quiet at day. The spaceport was buzzing with various people each going about their various business.
The duo rode towards the walls of the spaceport, in aim of taking an air road that'd lead them to the city.
On reaching the walls, there were multiple wide tubes that launched vehicles up. They entered one that was suitable for a hoverbike. It launched them up, making them ride up and land on a road that was for hover vehicles called hoverway. As they were on the hoverway, they saw the path link up to a wider hoverway.
They drove to the sole city easily from that point onwards.
Arwan had displayed a map with the location he was headed on the hover bike.
After a while, they arrived in the city.
They branched from the main hoverway to one that led to the ground.
They parked the bike at a safespot, planning to walk the rest of their distance.
Sin City had a lot of drones that lit up the sky, some used to display respective company names, others used for announcements, and the remaining with their various uses.
Many of the buildings in Sin City were either wide or tall. On their top, lit up signs boards were fixed.
Over all, there were alot of companies here that used flashy lights as part of their advertisements, some even used display screens.
"Tsk, too flashy," Arwan said, absorbing the view.
Femi tilted his head, "Not for me."
"Damn you. Your mask comes with an obvious light filter." Arwan yelled. He confirmed that his hover bike was parked well, then said, "Let's go... Like I've said, this place is too dangerous for us to walk around aimlessly."
Femi wasn't paying attention to what Arwan was saying, his hunch whispered in his head that he should go down the opposite direction to yield a fruitful night here. This brought about a feeling of anticipation for Femi.
Arwan didn't also pay attention to Femi as he checked his wrist comm to check what route would lead to their destination. He trusted his black clad bodyguard would be intimidating enough to avert the gazes of the observers.
He just kept talking while confirming the map. He said, "Just fitting a bodysuit shouldn't take long. It's something I can do but I don't have any equipment to do such. In fact, I was the one who modified our bodysuit to how it looks. What'd you think of them? Killian, the guy I told you about, said it's quite dope, even better than what he wore during his wanderer days. So...."
Arwan turned around but he was met with an empty space. Femi left him. "Kick me in the ass... That damned...!"
*****
Femi moved around with confidence as if he owned the place. Clad in all black with a tinge of red, he even looked a bit intimidating to those who moved about in the streets.
He passed various infrastructures, walking on the sidelines as if filled with purpose.
But Femi didn't even have a destination in mind, he just moved until he felt like he did.
He eventually stopped in front of a big building - probably one of the biggest in the city.
It had a sign board that said "Amma Casino," and various announcement drones flying around the building, voicing out the goods and services they offer.
He walked into the building like he was familiar with the place. This was the first floor, a floor open to the low class customers. It was packed with various people engaging in various betting activities while also drinking their ass off and talking to the ladies.
Femi went towards the reception. Without waiting for the receptionist to speak, he said the first thing that came into his mind. Through the mask and with a lost but unwavering gaze, he uttered, "I want to have fun."
