The first of the AIF Euclidian class freighters arrives at Vent Gamma, and descends into the hole itself. Because cargo transfer will probably happen at ocean level, this is a good test of the feasibility of landing large flying ships at a transfer station below. The cargo hold opens up to allow Challenger class merchant conversions to begin their journey to Pillar Olympus, followed by three more Lancer class battleships and an Endymion class battleship. Aboard one of the Lancer class ships is admiral Bradford Arents, commander in chief of IKN operations on Tenelapis, and equivalent in role to fleet admiral Hodston back on earth. Also on board is the well known geologist Ima Klutz of the Imperial Geologic Institute (IGI), who is here to study the unique geology of the planet. Finally a large dry dock is unloaded, along with three Coronet class cruisers tasked with towing it to Pillar Olympus. The freighter then lifts off to return to earth.

At Pillar Olympus, the flotilla bearing the two halves of the superwarship arrives. The two ends are anchored as guarding forts until the dry dock arrives, but is nonetheless a powerful asset.

OOC: Khoi, you may want to set up camp near Pillar Olympus, then you'd have a base of operations and could join in the mining and research.
