Isara had been trying to figure out what to do with her day. She’d decided to give herself some much needed time off and explore the ship. She’d toured it a few times, but always as the CO, never as just a person. She’d been to Valhalla the other day and was looking for another lounge to check out. Today’s trip had her entering the doors of the Brew Continuum. She wasn’t exactly a fan of the chain, but many people were. And it was very popular, so that was a bonus.
She was about to order something from the barista when she overheard V’Nille and Reine’X talking and decided to take a detour.
Reine'X: Is anyone else coming with us?
V’Nille: Good question! I have no idea! I was going to look around to see if anyone else would come with me.
Aleron: Hello V’Nille, Reine’X. How are the two of you doing?
V’Nille: Oh! Captain, I thought you were just walking by. You want to join us for the trip down?
Aleron: Oh, you’re heading down to the planet, correct? I think I would love to join you.
Reine’X: Response
She noticed the sway of V’Nille’s tail, and while she was no expert in such matters, she suspected the Caitian was excited at the idea.
V’Nille: Oh, you’re very welcome to come! The forecast today is mildly chilly, sunny, and fairly humid. It’s spring in that area of the world now, so it’s not quite as warm as it can get but the sun will keep us warm. Do you want to take a shuttle or beam down?
Aleron: I don’t think it will hurt to beam down. I’d like to leave the shuttles for official business since we’re not risking much by using the transporters.
Reine’X: Response
V’Nille: That works for me! Grab what you need, meet up in about an hour? Or we can go now and surprise them, if you’re ready and willing.
Isara laughed at the Caitian’s eagerness and shook her head in amusement.
Aleron: Well, I am excited to go, but I probably should change. This dress is hardly fit for planetary exploring. Give me that hour and I will meet you in the transporter room.
Reine’X: Response
Isara rose and quickly made an exit, quite excited by the idea of spending time with some of her crew. She’d been worried about not making those connections, and with Taleia’s letter, she was feeling more isolated than ever. So, this was going to be a good thing for her.
(( timeskip - 1 hour, Transporter Room 1 ))
Isara entered the transporter room wearing comfortable, but durable, dark gray slacks, and a pink turtleneck sweater that was so soft it felt like she was wearing a cloud. She’d pulled her hair back into a short updo as usual, and had brought along a small bag just in case.
Aleron: Well, I think I’m all set.
