Snapshots of each PC
Start with "establishing shot" of a forest planet, then following a shuttle coming down from an orbital platform and landing at the station.


 * The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, and the surface is green with lush forest growth


 * It's 11am, and the interior of docks is bustling, with workers scurrying about, automated cargo haulers taking off and thrumming way out over the forest, and others arriving with heaps of reddish metal to be unloaded.
 * Taveera: Soon, we see a young Pantoran woman, dressed in travel clothes, disembark from the shuttle. She looks around a bit uncertainly, then hurries off through the hustle, dodging load-lifters and dock workers. She has to find her rooms so she can drop her bags before she misses her first appointment, some kind of test outside the city.
 * Tal: Not far behind her, a human steps out of the shuttle. He looks around contentedly, then saunters off whistling a tune.
 * Minn: The scene changes, and we see a Kyuzo woman in her rooms, with a large hat on her head and a mask covering her face. She fastens her blaster to her waist, then picks up a machete and checks the edge in the light. Satisfied, she steps out the door and heads to grab a bite to eat on her way to the docks.
 * Unnamed Scoundrel (Ryan): Not far away, we see a large bird-like figure, with exquisite plumage and colorful robes, moving smoothly and deliberately down the center of the hallway toward the docks. When a neighbor waves hello, the figure pauses, bows deeply, then continues without a word.
 * Zurn: We see a Gotal sitting quietly, simply eating his lunch and thinking, just like this same time yesterday and, he's pretty sure, the day before that. Maybe the day before that? It's hard to tell them apart after a while.
 * Finally, we see a small shuttle sitting at the docks...

Start by people entering a planetary shuttle craft/bus one by one



 * Is there anyone who always shows up super early to things?
 * after that, go by initiative
 * greeted by checkout guide first thing
 * Veeem probably just starts jovially asking them personal questions
 * checkout guide is a bit cool toward him
 * Devaronian relic diver will talk about ruins diving if prompted but otherwise sits quietly

Flight to Checkout

 * After they are all seated they will take off and fly over the forest
 * Pure forest for miles and miles, but with clusters of large holes that descend into darkness
 * Not flat, goes up and down like hills and valleys, but it's just trees
 * Mirre gives a brief history of planet
 * Discovered less than a year ago
 * The Dharma - Ancient civilization that has disappeared
 * Planet might have been disregarded but they found Merahtite
 * can't build buildings out of anything else heavier or it will sink
 * best strength to weight ratio of any known substance that you could build a starfighter out of, which is of course what the Empire is doing
 * Any Questions?
 * Checkout requirements
 * show the ability and willingness to navigate a Dharma Structure
 * This building has already been cleared of threats a few days ago, and is next on the list for harvesting
 * Kivron (devaronian) might butt in
 * I have a question. I mean we all know this is just about the 500 credit "tax" that we paid to get checked out, so can you just sign off on us and head back? Your speech hasn't even changed since last time. (Sigh You know I'm not going to do that) You saw me climb a ladder 3 months ago on my last checkout, and I did it fine. Can I just wait on the transport? (It's a different ladder this time, and I want to see you do it again)
 * (if good convo) Outline of Relic Diving before work crews descend onto buildings
 * if section is dragging, save for inside building
