[OOM] Visit to Kazic III with Guppy.

The door from Milliways takes them out onto the ramp of Atton's shuttle, outside. It's cold - Colder than the average UK winter - and the sky is a dark purplish colour, as if it's not quite night. Perhaps more noticeable are the (seemingly) fir trees - They're tall, which is to say that the tallest is about a mile high.

Atton gives Guppy a grin, leading him towards the edge of the cliff they're on. There's a city, far beneath - Small by the standards of Atton's galaxy but massive by Earth standards, stone towers and buildings shattered and broken, the ground riddled with craters, all set in a semicircle around a building set into a mountain. While the city shows no signs of being rebuilt and many signs of being abandoned, there are people. They're stood or sat about fires, near less damaged buildings, chattering loudly.

The entranceway is taller than a house, with two equally tall wolf statues either side of it, sitting and looking exceptionally vicious, with blue lights set into them as eyes. They're not Earth wolves - The tails, as long as the body and clearly prehensile, tipped with curved blades - make that pretty clear.

Guppy gets a big grin from Atton.
"'S nice, right? We're a long way from where the Restoration Project has set up. There are just salvagers here."

"Well, 's by no mean describes what most people that lived around here were like. The majority of people probably would've been quite happy to stay well away from violence." Atton shrugs.

"At the end of the day, most people do, and many other seek violence only as an end to it."

"'S pleasantly philosophical. I'd suggest visiting the prison, but I doubt it'll be a very nice place t'go."

"Yeah, probably not a good place. But I'm just enjoying being here with you."

"Good. Want to go explore?"

"Okay."

Look Atton, you got him relaxed.
