Kerr took his first step onto Acteon.
Nik follows shortly.
Klim changed into his gear. He had a small med kit disguised as a sewing kit with a few tablets of healing nanites in addition to his weapons. The weapons looked like native weapons but were made of more durable alloys and by operating a small power pack could vibrate at the atomic level to cut through anything. He also had a nano wire whip disguised as a grieve. The wire was so thin it could easily cut through flesh and bone, but it's main purpose was its tensile strength - sufficient to support the weight of three people - and a grappel shooter.
He tested his tracker, "yeah this little gizmo can identify the unique mental signatures of those that have used a swapper. Also it can pick up radiation readings atypical of the planet. Off planet gear, people... Should all show up." The machine went Bing! "It's working. Practically? It is a life sentence." He said over the comms.
Klim met Kerr outside and handed him a small bag of coins and gems. He put another in his pocket. Then he turned and initiated the stealth abilities of the ship. It faded from view. "So we both need to be here to access the ship as we agreed. Well our bodies - if one of us dies. Touch wood. I'll bury some cash reserves over by that rock. It's about a half days walk to the fort. A lot of the town is underground I hear. Makes sense in this heat. Hope we don't come across any of those packs of giant lizards.”
