A single traveling ship breaks away from other space vessels hovering outside in the polluted skies waiting to seek passage into the safety of the Dome known as Bio-Dome Two Beta. It was a simple place mainly inhabited by smaller businesses that could not afford the rent in other more luxurious domes or rented residences where people could pay to rest for days or weeks at a time if they must stay on the planet. The ship flies down to dock and lowers a hatch, allowing a line of passengers to disembark from the inside. Many of them are Xenos of varying species and look to be a mix of merchants and tourists. Some of them split off in pairs or small groups, but a small blue-skinned woman walks down the streets on her own.

Her bright blue hair sways behind her with every step she takes, coming close to brushing against the ground from the way she tilts her head back to take in the sights with a wide awe-struck stare. The inside of the Dome was much different than what Niha had witnessed coming onto the planet and looked a lot nicer in comparison. She decided before that the North Quadrant was going to be one of her first places to explore away from what she had grown used to as home. Earth was not too far away, and this planet like the others that could prove interesting. She looks down and watches a pair of Tech Tech pass by discussing their business for the day. Since it was nearing late afternoon, many seemed to be just coming out of work. It almost gets her distracted with wondering just how long her voyage must have taken, but she tries to shake her head to snap out from her thoughts.

Niha belatedly realized that she had no idea where to start with this journey now that she was here! She had no idea how to find her way around the Dome, let alone the countless other Domes that could be worth exploring. She would have to start by trying to find a map. So, she looks around the Square she came to a stop to and spots a run down stall selling various newspapers and other reading material that comes in a variety of languages. Niha wanders over and patiently waits for her turn in the line to come, looking over the wares. There had to be a map here that she could use. An older Tech Tech leans against the stall, propped on his elbow and drumming his fingers while waiting for Niha to make a decision. They do eventually snap in annoyance asking what she needs, making Niha stutter out nervously to him, "I w-w-was w-wondering if you had any m...maps?" A warm purple color flares across her cheeks from embarrassment, but he simply reaches over to one of the racks without looking and pulls out a small folded map to offer to her.

She thanks him graciously and pays for the map before wandering off to let other people in the line have their turn to browse his wares. She keeps the map high and over her face, scanning it for anything interesting. There were a couple of restaurants that might be nice to visit, but the main attraction that caught her eye was a public training dojo located a few streets down from where she arrived from. So, she alters her course and makes her way towards it, trying to be careful not to accidentally bump into anyone along the way. It had been some time since she last tried to train, so it was worth it to see if anyone there would be willing to take the time to spar with a complete stranger.

After she arrives she lingers to the side of the entrance, nervously scanning the place. There were paths to large open-air rooms dedicated for combat, halls that led to artificial gravity chambers, and local trophies that were earned by other fighters lining the walls. She decided to wait a moment and see if she would come across anyone interesting that stood out to her before trying to explore the building.
