Olia squinted. There were... creatures of all sorts of races getting off "Civilian after all..." Must be this planet's mode of atmospheric transport... She grinned a little. Maybe one would go somewhere more important? She would just settle for something quieter though... considering the developing headache from being so close to such a powerful source of noise. Although... which one looks more promising?
On that, she reflected about her purpose for being here. She had been hired to come to this world to investigate the solidity of a religious factions' claims that a God had been reborn here. It was ridiculous... but she was loathe to give up such easy money. It had been a struggle not to laugh in that zealot's face when he started babbling about Gods, Hell and other absurdities; she didn't believe in anything herself, the feel of money weighting down was more than enough to ensure her happiness... not that she had it for long as she always squandered it in various ways... she had even bought a slave once... he hadn't lived long, some sort of cancer killed him after just a month... he had been exceptionally good at pleasing her though...
Her mind came back to 'now' with a hard jerk as another plane rumbled overhead. Ah, now isn't the time for that...
