📜 The fast way down!

"Aaagh!" Najima's controlled jog down the rocky hillside became an out of control slide in an instant. Eyes widening, she threw her hands out wide to try to maintain her balance, heart pounding as the sounds of clattering pebbles and her boots sliding through the dirt echoed through the previously tranquil valley.

The heightened gravity on the planet-nearly 140% of Earth normal-pulled her with breath-stealing quickness down the slope. It was all she could do to keep her feet moving and her momentum under control as she careened down the steep hillside just ahead of the falling rocks and dust.

Despite everything, she felt herself smiling.
