Same rules apply reviews are welcome if you think there is a problem I can see about addressing it. I am shooting for about one thousand word chapter at least every other day. Also feel free to tell me if there are any problems I will try to get any I notice myself, by giving the older chapters a once over before posting a new one.

The new planet of Vale, new if only because it's only been Vale for the last two centuries. Just like its namesake it has a largely temperate climate with lots of forests and beautiful blue oceans. Much like the Vale of old its politics focus on staying neutral with no real bias on either side of the Faunus issue. Major exports include foodstuffs, entertainment, and high grade transforming weapons and ships from Ohm-tech industries.
The largest city in Vale named after the planet of course was home to many ports, the largest and most popular being from Dust till Dawn named after the scout ship that landed on the planet first, piloted by a kindly old entrepreneur who has had his hand in a lot of pies back on Remnant that was. Nowadays though the port is always busy with ships coming and going at all times. On approach now we see a shining gunmetal grey beast slowly hovering into its designated landing slot with it landing gear still stowed.
P Jaune is there a reason why you have not extended the landing gear yet
Y you trying to crash my ship vomit boy
J no just kind of forgot which button it was
Y probably the flashing one marked landing gear right in front of you
J OK I got it sir
The embarrassed blond presses the button and somehow managed to not crash the free falling ship after he accidentally cut the power to the engines 100 feet off the ground. Now landed the large cargo hatch at the front of the ship under the swooping neck, containing the cockpit and living quarters, opens amid the cloud of dust from the very rough landing. The whole crew now walks down the ramp.
N I would give that a 3 out of ten
J hey it was not that bad
Y you would have crashed the ship if you were alone in the cockpit
J but I still landed without damaging anything
P ok Jaune we'll call that half a point
R nice job Jaune that put you at one and seven eighths of a point almost as many as Nora
N 2 and one sixteenth points for the win
P Nora the rest of us each have at least a dozen points each
N I'm still better then Jaune
Y now that that has been determined onto more important business. Jaune you're in charge of supplies get some fuel and whatever else we need to keep the ship running
J ok boss
The lanky blond walks back into the ship and mounts the dirty ATV driving past the group trailer in tow
P remember that barter means you pay less and get more not the other way right
J that was one time
Y and we are still eating those overpriced fiber packs.
R speaking of supplies could we get a new compression coil for the capacitor
Y and I'd like to win vales top model and meet Coco Adel
R coil busts were drifting
Y Best not bust then, put us down for departure about three hours from now
The scarlet tipped girl frowns then walks to the terminal adjacent to their landing pad and starts going through the menus.
R ohh there is some mail waiting for us want it sent to the ship Yang
Y if it doesn't interfere with our schedule that's fine. We won't be back on Vale for a while any way. Otherwise just get us some passengers paying ones if you wouldn't mind
R that Faunus family really needed our help that one time
Y Its okay every once in a while, but today I would prefer paying travelers
R okay sis good luck at the club

We see a clean cut young man with a green shirt and black hair streaked once with a bright splash of pink. He's walking through the port suitcase in one hand pulling a small cart with the other, walking past the statue representing that the old man who landed here first was ready to serve noodles to the arriving colonists.
"Going on a trip boy" we hear from the barker for one of the many ships in the port. (B for now)
B need a safe journey we're cheap were clean the Cardinal best ship in the verse, we are going to hit up the Vacuo to Mistral trade run.
YM I am 23 sir
B what
YM I'm not a boy
And the young man keeps walking, swallowed by the crowd and leaving the barker scratching his noggin.

We see our once spacewalking trio outside of fairly nondescript building in the city proper.
Y remind me to ask ruby when the side car will be ready that was quite the walk
P something wrong cap getting old on us
N ohh does that mean I get to be captain then
Y no Nora I'm not dying just wouldn't mind some time with me, bumblebee, and a couple of miles of open highways. Plus, Pyrrha is next in line for command after me
N you mean she's not permanently first officer
P you think I'd stick around if it were not for the chance that this goofball might kick it someday
Y no I thought you stayed on because you were completely entranced by my "captain"vating good looks
N really Cap that wasn't very good
P I have to agree sir
Y everyone is a critic, let us just get in there and complete this stupid deal
The Trio opens the double doors and walks into the very dark nightclub, even though its twelve noon there are a couple of people sitting at the tables with two to three at the bar. The strong beats of the club music are still in the background not as loud as during peak hours but still prevalent in the air. Heading towards the bar the trio is greeted by a guy in a black suit with matching hat and red sunglasses. (BT)
Y I will have a strawberry sunrise
P boulevardier for me
N and I will take a furry sloth
BT A what now
N a furry sloth three shots maple syrup two shots of buttered rum and a shot of jack*
BT ok coming right up, how are you paying for these drinks ladies?
We see him looking everywhere for a bottle of maple syrup stopping upon hearing their answer.
Y We aren't, just have your boss bring them to that booth over there he's expecting us.
The girls walk off and sit down at said booth. Leaving the bartender wondering where did they keep the maple syrup.
