Dossier: Pierre Traveler
 |
Meet the Vagabond… Pierre stuck his head out of the shuttle hatch and breathed in the air of the alien planet. A warm¸ gentle breeze wafted a faint scent of…berries? A bloated orange sun hung in a near-cloudless sky¸ and the weather on this world was warm - unlike the last one¸ with its thirty-centimeter snowdrifts. A gruff alien voice from behind prodded him through the hatch. Making his way down the portable stairs onto the starport landing pad¸ he consulted his handcomp for directions to the hostel. The device was no help; apparently¸ it hadn't updated yet. He decided to ask directions of one of the natives and selected a two-meter tall fellow in what seemed to be a uniform. "Excusez-moi monsieur¸" he started¸ then stopped short as the being looked at him quizzically. He quickly repeated the phrase in Interstellar Common¸ then as best he could¸ asked directions to the hostel. Even after all this time traveling¸ he marveled at the infinite shapes¸ sizes and types of the various species around him. The trip he took as a child overseas - that first kindled his wanderlust - was nothing compared to the wonders he saw and the people he met now.
