"Weak magnetic field in conjunction with solar winds, yes," the ambassador said with a nod and Cliffjumper, meanwhile, had basically disconnected from the discussion. It was interesting that they needed the devices, but he wasn't really interested in the particulars around it.
What was interesting, though, was getting to see Paradron's surface grow closer with each passing minute as they descended, the deserts over the equator passing away for more hospitable - if still mostly rocky, it looked like - ground more southwards.
And with the shift away from the deserts came more settlements, some small, others large enough to be impressive on their own.
Especially as they weren't ravaged by war, which was obvious even from this height. Cliffjumper tried to stand still, but he both wanted to get this landing over with, and very much to be back on Earth.
Because when they landed, that's when the real difficulties would begin.
