Nine days passed quickly for Gavain, although at the same time they took forever to pass. When the blue and green marble that was his homeworld finally came into view, he was the first to stand up and look at the viewscreen with a look of joy on his face. To the humans, it might seem familiar at first, like it was somehow similar to their own, but closer inspection would show that all the continents were in the wrong places, and the terrain was much greener than Earth. It seemed that Galdor had a lower concentration of deserts and other such places.

Gavain watched quietly as they approached SkyBase, the orbital platform that served as a waypoint between Galdor and space. “We’ll dock at SkyBase, and from there the adventure begins,” he said softly, looking intently at the other Starfleet ships that were also pulling into the various docking bays.
