Surha

by Khadyr Sabah

During our trip to Surha, we prayed to the icons, assuming we could needs their help. hamus to the Messenger and I to the Merchant. Jezebel slept like a baby through the whole journey. When we arrived at the planet Shamus tried to scan for a landing place. I don't know what he did exactly bur he couldn't find a landing pad. Ofcourse there is a landing pad so I also scanned the planet and found one near the outpost called Surhani.
 
The landing Shamus treated us to was ones again very bumpy. The ship was moved to a hangar. Jezebel stayed behind while we were on our way to check ourselves in and see if we could get some information. We also took the invironmental scanner with us. A terminal agent told us that this was a very cold an informed us about the planet. Surha turned out to be a very inhospitable planet, with temperatures of -40 degrees and a gravity of 2 G. fortunately I am rugged and Shamus has very warm clothes, so we can stand this cold for some time. We had to pay 300 birr to leave the terminal and still no sign of Armand. We took the snow crawler to Surhani where we could find a place to eat.

We drove for a while through a cold, snowy and windy landscape. We reached Surhani were we also read a sign “Hope’s End”. It made me shiver a bit. We saw a large dome and we got off of the snow crawler. and first looked for a place to eat. We went to “Adila’s Cantina” and ordered a meal. Although we asked around no one had seen Armand.
 
We decided that there was nothing we could do right now anymore, so we looked for a place to sleep. Maybe we had more luck tomorrow.
