OOC:
@Avi, you were on 567-908 for almost a whole day. Plenty of time to have walked to the Observatory, which had a telescope, but most of the place was experimental gear, long shot attempts at new sensors and other weirdness.
No one noticed anything weird with the Clerk, since you are currently the only folks getting off of a ship, once you were seen to, the clerk went back to her coffee.
Walston is not the most inviting of worlds. It is rather dry, with highly variable temperatures thanks to the thin
atmosphere, which requires a filter mask to breathe safely. Lying on the outer edge of the Life Zone, Walston
does not get excessively warm, even during the day, and at night temperatures plummet well below freezing in all
regions.
The Startown is only big enough to be a village on most worlds. There are a couple of decent enough hotels and a
rather more modest hostel offering barracks-like accommodation and basic meals at a very cheap price.
In addition, there are a couple of restaurants and a handful of shops selling local and offworld goods. It is
possible to walk around the town in a few minutes. Note that most buildings are underground, with just
the top (entry) floor sticking up. Even that is usually half-sunken into the ground and accessed by going
down a ramp or steps.
