For Smells Like a Trap, Looks Like a Trap.... That's not the Senator. The OP says that. It's a military Lieutenant, who is there to make sure it's not a trap before the Senator arrives. Would you... like to edit your post?
Hey do you mind altering you first post, you wrote us arriving before we got the chance to describe how we even got there, saying you arrived at the space port is fine but you have to give people the chance to to move there part of the story along on there own. You limited me and the other guy by putting us right there.
