Meanwhile, Yuma. - TheSauron - 08-02-2018
The ground trembled as a Serenity positioned itself above the landing pads of New Thessalonica, its four engines emitting a deafening roar as it set down on four massive legs. The ship's hull was a wild mixture of hull panels from all over sirius, bulked up by ugly, but functional, armour plates, probably just welded onto the ship in open space. There were few markings applied to the ship, just a few green stripes and two emblems of the Guard, one on top, one on the bottom, humbly announcing the ship's owners.
As the ship's mass finally settled on its landing gear, the engines hissed a little and began to gradually cool down, coughing a few times. Relative silence engulfed the pad, broken a few moments later by the opening of a small hatch, directly beneath one of the rear engines. A stepladder extended afterwards, down onto the landing pad below. A tall man emerged from the hatch, looking around his surroundings. His bald head was almost gleaming in the sun, his eyes obscured by some form of sunglasses. He wore a military-like uniform, mostly dark grey with green trimming and the Guard's emblem proudly placed on his chest. He checked something on a wrist display, slowly stepping down the ladder. A few other people followed, some of the uniforms black instead of grey. Upon reaching the pad, the man looked around once more, trying to locate any sort of welcoming committee that ought to be there, or at least on its way.

In the Flight Control building, Minister Kase was waiting for the arrival of the Guard ship. He watched the ship set down on the landing pad and at his sign, the AIT escort started to march, twelve strong soldiers which made him feel humble, even though he was one of the most powerful people in the Republic.
While marching alongside them, the martial sound of weaponry made him remember that these young men were trained to fight and kill, unlike him which took a different path, a scientifical approach to the world.
The Soldiers stationed themselves to form an Honour Guard and Kase walked alone to meet the Gaians.
This is it, he thought, is the time to see what can be done to enhance our Nation.
With a smile on his face, he went to the man on point and salute him "Welcome to Yuma. I am Minister Ryo Kase. In the name of Crayter Republic I welcome you to New Thessalonika. How was your flight? If I can get you to the Control Tower so we register you as Residents of our Republic. Temporary. "
