"Alright, time for the mission briefing.
Our target is Planet Gaia.
We aproach the planet under the cover of the Arran Ice Cloud. Earlier encounters with the Gaian Guard have shown that there is a high probability that their base in located on the other side of the planet, so we will enter their blind spot upon leaving the Ice Cloud. As a precaution we shall engage our cloaking devices before entering open space. We shall enter the atmosphere and land at a spot where we can easily conceal our ships in the local vegetation.
Our primary objective is the nameless Gaian plant, that according to the TAZ library is suitable for human consumption.
It will hereby the designated as the Gaian tea plant.
The secondary objective is to locate the sacred Megaerian flower, designated with the name Phainolis.
The flower is easy to recognise due to its blue luminescent petals. It would be best to search for it during the night.
Optional objectives are to secure any interesting biological samples we come across. We brought the necessary equipment with us.
While we are here we will gather all data we can."
Mi listened closely to the briefing. Even though she knew this was the original purpose for their travel to Gaia, she also knew it were going to be the best vacations ever. "Got it, Jealous Snake. I have all the equipment with me. I hope you didn't forget anything on your side? And hai, just as planned. Took me long enough to organize this cloacking device though, we really shouldn't get caught. I still need to return that thing.. only borrowed it for this trip." She remembered the picture of the "Megaerian" Flower she was shown and chuckled weakly.
"Can we also pick a flower which we will name after me?"
"Yay! My own flower!" She couldn't resist but to chuckle a little. This was going to be so much fun..
"Uhm.. well. I might have just taken it from a Sister without really asking before. She's too busy to notice anyways, so no big deal. No need to buy me such expensive stuff, got it?"
"Well, that is fine. Was just an offer.
Thank Golanski. He was the one who inspired me to do this trip to Gaia. Afterwards I spent time on Pueblo Bonito and researched the xenobiology of the Gaian flora. The most important data has been uploaded into my ship so we have a good source of reference.
The Phainolis flower is a personal objective. I am going to turn it into my own symbol of beauty and purity."
"Eh.. I don't mean to do flattery.. but do you really still need a symbol? I mean.." She became silent for a few seconds..
"Hai. It's a nice idea.. I mean, who could say they had the oppurtunity to go to Gaia and collect flowers so beautiful. And uhm, I am not sure if I should talk to Golanski. He is a little bit weird towards me at times, you know..."
"Uh-uhm.. hai, so.. you really need this symbol. Oh, I bet we will find many of them. And some kind of flower for me.." She smiled brightly into the camera.
"And regarding Golanski.. eh, don't ask me why but he has a strange nickname for me. We never even talked much.."
"Well... actually I just find the flower really pretty. And if it has toxic properties I might want to weaponise it.
The symbol part is a bonus, but every deity should have some sacred objects. So I picked this.
I just call you the golden flower girl. Or in this case, Lusty Fox.
How did we even pick this codename for you?"
"A golden flower.. if we find one, that's mine! And the codename.. eh, wasn't it you who proposed it? Or was it really me.. according to some Sisters it suits me though. Which I cannot understand at all!" She shortly looked around, it shouldn't be all that far anymore..
"Weaponise it.. aww Meg-chan, relax and enjoy our vacation. You can think of this afterwards."
