Rome; Meeting on the Moon

Because technology had not advanced enough to build a secure hangar on the moon, a runway was all that was used, and those disembarking were forced to take a moon rover to the airlock.

The Imperial Shuttle Tiber came in for a landing. The roman red craft touched down weightlessly in the moon's low gravity. The same made stopping difficult, but the shuttle handled fine. It had practised the run a couple times, and there weren't any worries. The space ship eventually came to a soundless halt at the end of the long runway.

The passengers and crew fled to the back and put on their prssure suits. These allowed them to survive the cold and lack of oxygen. When everyone was secure, the pilot depressurized the shuttle, emptying the atmosphere into a pair of cylinders on each wing. This was to store it for later.

Three Moon Rovers awaited the Tiber. Slowly, the hatch opened, and the interior of the craft was opened out to the vacuum of space.

The Pilot and crew were to stay on board, in order to taxi the thing off the runway. The first person to bound down the gangway was a Praetorian. Then another, and another. Six Praetorians in all. They were followed by three men. The Commisioner of Technology, the Foreign Minister, Kashys Valdeez, and the Emperor himself, the first world leader on the moon.

Each man had his own rover, accompanied by two Praetorians a piece and a pilot to drive the rover. The Green Norightsian flags did not billow as the rovers sped towards the compound. Everything was soundless and calm.

The compound flew three massive flags. On the Right, the Norightsian standard, on the Left, the Iron Fish's banner, and in between, taller than either, flew the AU Flag(OOC:i know we don't have one yet). The convoy pulled into an airlock, and disappeared. Everything on the moon was calm again...
