Enlightened Tashar Space
The ADS Venture's return to the space of the Kanhum was eight months after it's initial observational journey near the beginning of the cycle. The intricate subtleties offered by it's first journey promised those on board some hopeful safety that they wouldn't be maimed, killed or sacrificed to some giant beast upon landing. Like all things Ashigaru, the ADS Venture was sleek and swift, but it's architecture design did not lack merit in design. Designed for smooth entrance or exit of various planetary atmospheres, the Venture was equipped for nearly any situation -- save combat.

The initial communication attempt was nearly botched as the Co-Captain nearly forgot to switch the translator. The language of the Ashigaru was what one might expect from a race of insectoids; incessant clicking and squeaks as if one was fearful of a crunchy death by a large intergalactic boot. The Venture hovered in high orbit, seeing no orbital platforms or commercial ports with which to dock. The entire crew sat in suspended trepidation while they awaited a reply from those planetside.
