Krystal. I agree, what if the new planet inhabitants are totally friendly and welcoming to the characters but they’re so paranoid and used to war and fighting over land, that they would be continuously suspicious of anything that the inhabitants say and do?
And I completely want them to show them finding their footing in a new environment, with new creatures and of course assimilating with the planet inhabitants ... please no more wars/fighting/bloodshed. Please. That has been done too many times already. Like you said, that’ll be intriguing enough without throwing war into the mix. Also, new people with probably a whole new set of customs and traditions, to boot. Hopefully not too many new people are introduced too, there’s already too many characters as it is.
