Establishing a small, temporary outpost on Venus.

Just above the opaque cloud tops of Venus, space seemed to distort and ripple, a ship appeared, several gleaming curves of metal surrounding a stepped pyramid that crackled with arcane energies. The ship quickly dropped into the atmosphere, hopefully before any sattelites or ships could get an adequate visual on it, it's stealth systems were configured to give a strong impression of a much cruder ship, and its occupants had no intention of spoiling that delusion.

The ship stopped high above the area of Themis Regio, it's transportation devices humming as they cut out an underground facility, several kilometers into the crust of the planet and inserted structural supports. The ship then excavated more of the facility, ripping out several large caverns and dumping the material onto the surface some distance away, then it inserted the equipment the facility would need, before finally dissapearing back from whence it came.

Meanwhile, at the time, several very large payments were donated to the Menelmacari government for the project, anonomyous but titled as being 'from a friend, for produce received, on time.'
