The Runabout Maltese settled to the deck of the station’s massive hanger and powered down. It had traveled the last four days since picking up passengers and finally reached the station… the only foothold of the Federation in the Delta Quadrant. The passage through the wormhole had been an experience none of the passengers had been prepared for… save one.

The big (ever for an) Orion ducked his way out of the Runabout and moved with a surprising grace through the crowd with a sizable bag over one shoulder. He seemed singularly focused as he came to the customs checkpoint. A Delta Quadrant native, a member of the Aksani species looked up and seemed surprised by the large green man’s arrival. “Oh my, but aren’t you a big one!” and he scanned Hammor’s ID. “What do they feed you guys in the Alpha Quadrant, anyway?” Daggum grinned and said “Whatever we want.” and he chuckled. A friendly chuckle from the Customs Officer prefaced his question “Anything to declare?” to which Daggum smiled but shook his head. Declarations would be made, but not here… not until he saw her.

The officer tapped the console in front of him and said “Very well then, Lieutenant Commander Hammor. Welcome to Event Horizon. Tourist information is available at the kiosk before you leave the hanger.” Hammor nodded and then said “Do you think you could direct me to the Ambassador Hotel?” The Aksani nodded and said “Sure. Second bank of turbolifts to your left as you exit. They’ll take you right there.” Hammor nodded and made his way out. He went straight for the lifts and stepped inside. =/\= Ambassador Hotel. =/\= and the lift began to move.

A few moments later, Daggum walked inside the lobby. In stark contrast to the sterile station environment outside, the lobby was warm and tastefully decorated to resemble a boutique hotel from Earth. The check in desk was set at the back, and as Hammor approached the woman behind the counter said “Welcome to the Ambassador, sir. Checking in?” Hammor grinned and said “I am indeed. Hammor, two rooms reserved.” The woman tapped on the console and said “Yes sir, Commander. We have two rooms either adjacent or across the hall. Adjacent faces the main ship lane, so you can see the comings and goings of the vessels. Across the hall rooms are in the station’s core view.” and she leaned in and said “I see the other room is for a lady. If I am not being too bold, sir… Adjacent is more romantic.” Hammor smiled and said “Not too bold at all, and thanks. Adjacent it is, please.” She smiled and tapped the console again and said “Very well, Commander. Your rooms are ready. Shall I have a key waiting for… ” and she looked at her screen, “… Ms. Calloway?” Hammor thought about it for a moment and then said “Please. And give her a key to both rooms. I’ll just need mine.” The woman nodded once and then handed him small device. “Thumbprint please.” Hammor placed a large green thuimb on the device and it beeped. “Excellent sir.” and then she handed him an access card. “Your key, sir. Do enjoy your stay with us.” Hammor nodded and said “I’m sure I will. Thank you.” and he made his way to his room on the 74th floor.
