[the intercom switches on, and as usual, there's a very excited, if a little high-pitched, even squeaky voice addressing the ship.]

We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Now... wasn't that fun?

[there's a pause, as if the speaker is expecting some form of agreement from the masses. Obviously, it doesn't come. A moment later, ths speaker is sounding more annoyed.]

You really should stop complaining, you know. It's not like it's predictable.

...Right. The point of this message. Ahem.

We have now arrived at the planet Iiawah. It's a tropical beauty - everyone, go down and see for yourselves! And there will, of course, be missions available. How else will you afford more of those fruity drinks?

[and it switches off.]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about the planet Iiawah:

Located in the less-fashionable western arm of the galaxy, Iiawah is a quiet, mostly ignored tropical paradise known for its pristine white beaches and clear, gentle salt seas that reflect the lovely orange and yellow sky from horizon to horizon. The tourist trade is welcoming and accommodating, and life on such a lovely world is surprisingly low cost, both for the well-travelled vacationer and the discerning hitchhiker alike.

Coconuts, bananas, and crab are considered delicacies here, and it's easy to find hundreds of dishes featuring one or more (and in several surprising cases, all three) of these tropical treats.

Whether you're looking for an all-you-can-eat crab BBQ bonanza or are simply in search of a long, quiet stretch of beach to use for a quiet romantic stroll, you can find it on Iiawah, and for mere credits a day!

Shuttles down to the planet will be available beginning tomorrow, and are, as always, very affordable provided your character isn't flat broke.

Be advised when taking your quiet romantic stroll, though; what the Guide neglected to mention in its enthusiastic promotion of Iiawah's finer points was the size of the crabs inhabiting the aforementioned pristine white beaches. In a fight between one of Iiawah's crabs and a large dog, the dog will probably lose, let's just put it like that. Why did you think everything's so cheap, here? The tourist trade is in the tank and struggling to stay afloat because everyone always leaves right away when they realize how awful the crabs are.

All y'all should be fine, though. Right? 8)

June missions will go up on the 1st.

Any OOC questions, comments, and concerns can go here. Cheers!
