And I would agree- I would have argued with Hubris as Xavier's choice.
The New Beginning arrives at Vorkuta after a short hyperspace journey. It is a greenish-gray world; there is heavy cloud cover on Vorkuta as it is raining more often than not. There is a small twinkling point of light on the surface- civilization, or the likeness of it at least.
Trax receives a hail that simply welcomes him to Vorkuta. No questions are asked.

"This looks like such a lovely place..." Rianna says as Trax receives the message. "The less time we spend in the jungle, the better, I say..."

"Wait, no security? That worries me somehow... at least we don't have to pretend to be refugees again..."

"Agreed," Rand says.
"I think it looks fun," Galder snarks.
The starport of Vorkuta actually turns out to be quite sophisticated, and the most prominent thing in the spacer town. Trax requests a bigger bay for the New Beginning and lands it neatly inside. The bay, like the entire starport, is old but decently maintained.
A port official is coming up to the ship now.

"You would," Rianna snaps back at Galder.
She's not talking to the official.

Xavier walks next to everyone, "It's better than being back and holed up in that base."
Xavier will let Rand do the talking.

Rand will handle the port official.
"Welcome to Vorkuta," he says. "Let's see... a vessel that size is going to cost you, and it looks like you have at least four people on board, which means paying the fee for..."
"We don't have to pay any fees," Rand says, waving his hand.
"... on second thought, you don't have to pay any fees," the port official says. "My mistake."

Rianna smirks slightly at that.

The port official hassles you no more after Rand talks him into leaving you alone, leaving you able to enter the starport proper and walk around. It is almost akin to a shopping mall, though it has little to offer in the way of commercial goods. Mainly it caters to resupplying smugglers- fuel, food, weapons, etc.
Rand finds nothing of interest but asks if any of you want to check the area out before going into town.

Any groups around that perhaps a sneakily-inclined person could eavesdrop on?

Just general getting the feel of what sort of place this is, if there's anyone or anything interesting we should keep an eye out for or avoid, and if there's any 'local' talk about the natives.

You might need a more specific place in mind for eavesdropping on such conversations. Most of the people in the starport are coming, buying, or going.

Ahh, okay.
Nothing else that Rianna wants to try here, then.

Dak will blithely suggest finding a bar.

"Oh you have to be joking me..." Rianna hisses, suddenly fighting back the urge to punch Dak in the face.

"I certainly could use a drink," Rand says.
"Could be our best bet at finding anything out about the natives," Galder says. "Or if we should be making any other preparations. That rain is going to drive us crazy if it keeps coming down..."

"If this turns out like our first meeting with the Shepherds, I am going to kill someone," Rianna states.

"You know if you had joined us you wouldn't have been by yourself when that went down," Xavier says calmly.
