Re: Landing the Wessell

Who: Joe Craggins
When: After last post
Where: New Russia
Joe walked up to the tall Russian and held out his hand to
shake "Joe Craggins, Pilot, currently serving on board the JMC
Mining ship Blue Dwarf" The Russian shook his hand with a very firm
grim. Joe heard his nuckles crack. "Argh, a Brit" he said in his
deep Russian voice. "Yuri, from Noo Russia" Yuri continued. Yuri
handed everyone a pair of spiked boots and a very thick hooded
coat. "Yoo don't need the boots yet, but youll be glad for the coat,
it is Minus 25 at the moment, if yoo stay like yoo are now, youll
catch hyperthermia in no time." Joe wrapped himself in the coat
gratefull for it. Even so, with the coat, Joe still stared at the
flames on the side of the Phoinex and wished they were real.
