(OOC)
So, I'm bored, and this little rp thing's been going around my head. I'm posting it here on the interactive boards in case anyone wants to join in on it, but otherwise I'll just post solo stories. If you want to join in, feel free, and if you have setting questions or whatever, ask me. (The setting is kind of a Work In Progress anyway so I won't be particularly distraught if you make things up. Especially names, I'm horrible with names.) The baseline story is about freedom fighters on a backwater planet in the near-ish future.
Visco Cordallia cursed as he narrowly missed yet another jutting rock. His bike was nearly falling apart as it was, and spare parts were hard to come by. If only they would ship decent hoverbikes to this backwater planet, I wouldn't have to worry about these things, he thought. Then again, if we could get decent hoverbikes here, I probably wouldn't even be on this mission.
On the horizon, he could see the domed settlement of Morgran, his destination, shining in the harsh light of the slightly blue-tinged grey sky. Several decades of terraforming had brought Tranier Colony a long way, but there was still quite a ways to go. To his right, he could see the small oasis that fed Morgran, surrounded by a small circle of hardy grasses and bushes, a small plot of nature in the middle of the rocky wasteland.
Finally, the rough terrain gave way to a well-travelled and cleared path, as he finally came close to the settlement. He forced himself to relax as he approached, at least outwardly. The gate guards wouldn't be averse to detaining him just for looking too nervous if they were bored enough, and gate guards were usually pretty bored. He needed to be as invisible as possible.
He managed to make it through the gates without incident, and went looking for his contact.
