Kobol.
It hits Adama in the face even before he steps out of the Raptor. The green smell. A rich wave of air rolls over them, cleansed by the life processes of a planet instead of ship's filters, fecund with all the aromas of growth. After all the long months spent shipboard, the scent is intoxicating.
So is the scenery, as they wend their way into the mountains west of the City of the Gods, Chief Tyrol on point, followed by a still-uncertain-looking Billy Keikeya, himself bringing up the rear. The trees, bands of hardwood and evergreen, a riot of ferny undergrowth beneath them, the singing of birds and the rustling of small animals ... Kobol is alive like no other planet he's seen. The sheer vibrancy of their surroundings seems to bode well for healing old wounds, making new beginnings.
