"Of course not, they are simple minded. Hell, Takuan could just stand around persuading them to walk into an open field and dance rather than shoot at us..."
Your ships glide into the atmosphere, heading a way out to the east of Prosperity.
"Gee," says the bounty hunter. "No wonder they make so much food."
Beneath you are fields of Demaran wheat. This wheat is rather serious business- each strand is over seven feet tall, and quite a bit of it is taller still. It is more like a forest of endless wheat.
Serious wheat requires serious methods in its hervesting, and down beneath you you spot the mother of all combine harvesters- it is about the size of a Jawa sandcrawler, with gigantic frontal blades hacking up vast quantities of the wheat, sucking the rest in for processing and storage.
This stuff will make good ground to hide your ships in- though you had best bring locators with you, else you might lose them again! Your instincts would probably guide you, but best to be sure...
A few minutes later, you have put down in one of these super-wheat fields.

(I'll spend a force point and take Foresight via PM if thats ok.)
"Nice smooth landing Galder" Rah says as he meets Galder and Rura at the main hatch.
As he checks his sabre belt he says "Well what do you think?"
He doesnt wait for an answer "I dont really believe in coincidences where Kuylens concerned and this Zatev attracting a lot of attention in the same place as Kuylens transponder?"
"Nah! I think there's a lot more going on here than is immeadiately obvious and I feel that we're heading for some fun and games!" He smiles wryly "Anyway where's Takuan, what's he have to say on the matter?"
"we will probably hear more about this zatev. but..best not hurry things. the transciever guides us to the city...we should make our way ove there and act as normal as possible. we don't want unnecessary troubles..
We're gonna have a lot to deal with anyway.."
Takuan tightens his saber at his belt and steps outside of the ship.
Well, one thing to worry about right away is navigation, because when you get out of the ships, you cannot see a damn thing other than huge wheat stalks in all directions!

Well now, you'll need to mess around with a portable unit to trace that, so someone with fix-it would be a good idea to guide you. But it is always a pain to have restricted visiblity. You might stumble into something unpleasant!

Well we have ears so there cant be many things that move around silently in crops of this magnitude without us hearing it so it must be things like holes or what have you. Also if anything was laying in wait surely we would sense the danger when we get close.
I am just making the point that you aren't really sure where you are going. If you are trying a stealthy approach, you might be annoyed if you walk into a farmhouse.

(Well, I'm for Takuan's plan of using Sense to find our way...)
(As for not running into farmhouses or something, could we keep out of clearings? Use Sense to make sure we aren't running into farmhouses by nitpicking life signs...)
If we dont just barge about we ought to see the crops thining out as we approach the fringes so that shouldn't be a problem. Besides which finding a farm might even prove useful as there will probably be some sort of route/road/track we can follow and so long as we go stealthily by staying just hidden by the crops we may make the city in good time.
We are darksiders so as long as we dont draw too much unwanted attention it might even be handy to kill the farmers and take anything useful we find i.e. a transport, supplies ect...
