Lt. Pholin Duyzer: Pile of PADDs (Columbia)

[Pholin Duyzer]

((The Look Outt - Deck 10, USS Columbia))

((Time-index: Shortly after Alpha Shift.))

:: He and James walked into the Look Outt, having made the trip from the bridge together. Both the men were dragging along lots of PADDs, filled with places to go to. Pholin figured the two of them weren't the only one having a list of places, but having a central list couldn't hurt. They quickly found a table near the windows, having a great view of the city-planet. ::

:: They sat down and a waiter came by quickly; just as he was about to order his usual Loatac Cider, he remembered the new blend his academy friend Groznin had been talking about. ::

Colquhoun: A scotch, if you don’t mind. Laphroaig. :: He looked to Pholin. ::

:: He wondered what that last word meant, and how the tactical officer was even able to pronounce it. Was it Federation Standard, even? ::

Duyzer: Uhm-... One Andorr-Loatac Ale, please. ::he noticed the waiter had no idea what he was talking about:: Just mix Andorian Ale and Loatac Cider, please.

:: He hoped it was as good as his wife had told him because Andorian Ale by itself tasted like lemur urine to him. He nodded to the waiter as he walked away back to the bar. Pholin was staring to the planet when Colquhoun spoke up. ::

Colquhoun: So, shall we?

Duyzer: Ah, yes. The list. ::beat:: I've been digging through the data sent to us by the Illrith, there seem to be quite a few interesting places.

:: Despite being one huge city, the planet seemed to have quite some natural wonders as well. He had been particularly interested in the Great Kanunnikan Waterfall, maybe Icefall would be a better word for a frozen waterfall; there were also some mountains and hills to hike, though. He'd also read about a huge lake, but wanted to avoid that at all costs... ::

Colquhoun: ?

Duyzer: Indeed, I've heard lots of crewmembers want to visit the Varoth Market as well. ::beat:: Shall we swap PADDs?

Colquhoun: ?

:: Pholin reached out his PADD and took James'. He scanned through the list and saw quite a few places he hadn't read about yet. He figured that combining their two lists would be quite a start towards the "official" list. ::

Duyzer: This National Archive does sound interesting... I might just see if they'd be welcoming to foreigners. The Losarians seem quite secretive about their technologies.

:: The waiter came back with the drinks, and Pholin gladly took his glass. It was served to him in a bottle, and he wasn't given a glass. He carefully opened the bottle and brought it to his nose, it smelled a bit strange, but not too bad. Taking a sip, he was surprised at the taste; even stronger than his usual Cider. He might even like this better than regular Loatac, he thought to himself. ::

Colquhoun: ?

Duyzer: Very true. ::beat:: And what do you think of the waterfalls? Have you ever seen a fully frozen waterfall?

Colquhoun: ?
