was standing on a beach, the cliffs rising high behind him and the sea lapping a
meter away from his bare feet. He was wearing a louse long sleeve linin shirt
with knee length cargo shorts. He looked up at the sun feeling its heat and
radiance shining down on him. He had felt so much better since he had transported
down. Feeling the fresh air and being on a planet surface with wildlife and nature
rather then in the confinement of a star ship. The Exeter’s arboretum helped but
there was nothing that beat being this side of a gravity well.</span></p>
