Subject: landing

The dull, angled hull of the strange ship glows slightly with heat from coming through the atmosphere. It lands gently, heat waves radiating off for a few moments until the hull cools. No doors are obvious on a cursory inspection, but a crack opens in one side, an angle of the ship slowly lifting back. A hiss is heard as the gas inside rushes out, a slender being easily leaping the short distance to the ground. A few gasps and murmurs are heard from the people inside the 'port as they realize that this is not a human. Resembling a large, sleek, intelligent lizard, he stands about six feet tall on his hind legs. His scales form a dark brown and green pattern, the large talons on his three toed feet make small scratches on the floor near his ship, his slim tail seeming to be used for balance. Surveying the large hanger through slit-pupiled black eyes, a long forked tongue shoots from his mouth, scenting the air. Unable to breathe though his mouth, the bounty hunter carries a narrow gas exchanger on his back, a thin tube connecting it to the mask he wore over his nostrils. Turning back to his ship, the Zysahr, he quickly secures the door, setting the security measures. Striding outside the hanger, his toungue again flicks out, giving him much needed information abotu the planet. A few weapons are strapped snugly to his body, but he quickly runs four-fingered 'hands' over them all, double-checking everything. Satisfied, he bends to all fours, swiftly galloping toward the infirmary.
