Tertia

It was a fine Tertian morning in the town of First Landing, the sun had just begun to rise lighting the sky up and the nocturnal animals had long ago stopped their night time songs, the town was an odd mismatch of architecture and styles, some buildings were made out of what used to be starship hulls which had been cobbled together to form homes, municipal buildings and businesses while others were made from wood and stone from the plentiful forests. Along the whole town a metal wall ran, the wall was also made out of starship parts particularly the heat shields and thick metal plating reinforced with sandbags, a few militiamen paced atop the wall more out of boredom than actually patroling for threats, they could see toruble coming from miles.

Beyond the walls lay a stretch of clearing where the grass was kept short and beyond that lay the forests. Just outside one of the gates that had been buil into the wall a small detachment of militia stood or sat, some talking and some remaining silent, most of these individuals were just ordinary townspeople on an average day unless they were practicing maneuvers or some natural disaster or a bandit raid threatened the town and then they became soldiers. 

Basil Jacobs was one such individual he had recieved a message telling him to be at the gate by 0600 and to be prepared for a possible long march. Currently he sat on a crate sipping from his canteen and staring down at his combat boots, he was just an average teenager and he hoped that this was just some exercise. A few times when he was a child he remembered the roach-beetles had snuck into town and caused all kinds of havoc before they were put down. Basil looked at his rifle which lay propped next to him, he was a good shot with one but he'd only shot at targets and the occasional animal for food, never something that could fight back.

Off in the middle of the group was Jessica Hart she was busily talking with a few of her acquantinces. "Y'all know what's going on here? I hope this doesen't take too long I'm subbing at the grade school tomorrow." She said trying to sound annoyed and not anxious like she felt.

OOC: And go post your introductions and we shall begin this adventure.
