The busted yt-1300 lowers on repulser power upon the landing pad.
As it gets lower, a piece of hull falls off, clanging on the ground.
Its landing gets shakier the lower it gets.
Finally, the landing gear touch down.
And more pieces fall off, bolts, nuts, metal, circuitry.
The ship settles, and the engines power down, but not without a *pow* and a burst of smoke from at least one.
The loading ramp slowly lowers, then jams, shakes, then drops, slamming on the ground.
Mopre pieces fall off.
Down it steps a man in a coverall jumpsuit.
He is shaven bald, 6 foot, blue eyes, and content.
He steps off the ship and away towards the city.
The ramp tries to pull its self up.
But not without difficulty.
It stops 3/4 of the way.
