He makes an expanding gesture with his hands for emphasis.
"KIND OF BARREN LAND AND WILDERNESS. NOT MUCH MAJOR HABITATION YET, SORT OF A FRONTIER.
SO THE CONSTRUCTION WORK WOULD PROBABLY BE VERY APPRECIATED. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SMALL POCKETS OF PEOPLE GOING TO LIVE JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. I THINK. SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ANYWAY. THE POINT IS, THEY NEED HOUSES, YOU NEED MONEY, IT'S A WIN-WIN!"
The dock is like a long, wide hallway, with a window every few feet looking to the outcroppings used to dock ships on. A couple are coming and going, but this port doesn't seem particularily busy.
Off to the side are a couple much smaller outcroppings that say "Planetary Shuttle Services", and sure enough, through the windows some smaller, ultilitarian looking shuttles are connected and on standby.
((I am unsure as to what the docks are supposed to look like, so I went with a generic "branching" style. If this isn't correct, well, the station was built by lots of people from different cultures, right? I guess there could be different design choices on the docks.))
A strange creature is sitting on one of the benches, clothed like a Human in ordinary clothing; jeans, shoes, jacket, and the like, as well as a knit beanie/hat thing with two elliptical, somewhat cone-like ears with a thick teal band in the middle of each one. Its tail is very similar to the ears, but has a more foxlike look to it. The whites of its eyes are not white at all, but a color to match the rings on its ears and tail.
The strange being seems to be waiting for its shuttle. There aren't any others like it in the crowd- or anywhere, for that matter.
Scyn stops and squints at the strange creature, then impoliticly yells from the opposite end of the hall: "HEY, HAVE WE MET? I FEEL LIKE I RECOGNIZE YOU."
Multiple bystanders, clearly finding that very awkward, shuffle out of the way as quickly as possible without making it weirder.
