Noitingi, the burning planet.
What early christians would call hell they Pyrites would call bliss, the warmth of the flame and the presence of brimstone makes them cheer in glee in the same way a child would run in a flower garden. Many species would regard this planet as a death world, and that is true as even those with enhanced durability to a certain extent can end up as bacon.
They are both on the Appleseed, and they are about to enter the FTL drive. Dale awaits the message from the Pyrites who will meet them on a nearby moon where they can exchange necessities. The Pyrites wish to have confirmation on both 'heroes' to be, and how they will aid them from this long term peril. Dale and Phyrus however would need specialised gear to 'acclimate' to the Death World.
From the kingdom of eternal flame they will send an emissary 'Nivlek' who carries the word of the Big Fire which is equivalent to emperor in other cultures, as he awaits the heroes on the bright side of the moon. With him are heart-fruits, which made him blush as ritually they are used when a member of the Pyrites wish to engage in inter-species copulation. It ensues that the other partner do not get burnt, it also enables one to survive temporarily on their planet if applied as a bath. For Dale and Phyrus ingesting it would not be a good idea as it will change their anatomy.
Within the tree shaped ship Dale let his AI take care of navigation, meanwhile both men are on the Terraforming Bay. Sitting on tree stumps while exchanging conversation as the ship calibrates to accommodates them for the imminent warp. Dale then shares a green apple with the fellow Terran.
It will be about thirty minutes before they outpace light, might as well know each other before vanishing into another space sector.
