The Sentinel was in orbit around one of the resort moons of Risa. A long-awaited shore leave was available to all members of the crew, and Xam was one of the first off the ship. He had already reserved a room at Three Lakes Lodge and Resort, one of the more off-the-beaten-path facilities that catered to some of the more ‘eclectic’ (read ‘shady’) visitors that came to the pleasure planet. Xam had stayed there a number of times, and always found it enjoyable.

He arrived at the desk and smiled at the receptionist. “Hey. Ra’Ti, reservation for one. I’d like a view of the third lake’s waterfall if I could get it.” The receptionist, a beautiful Risian woman of indeterminate age, smiled and said “Of course, sir. As one of our repeat customers, we strive to make your stay as nice as possible.” She gave him a slight grin as she looked back down at her computer display. “We do have a room with a waterfall view available, sir. But it would be an upgrade from your reservation. Is that acceptable?” Xam shrugged and said “Sure, why not? Not all the time I get to kick back for a week and relax. Might as well go all-out.” He paid the difference and she said “Excellent. You are all set, sir. If you need anything when you arrive at your room, simply call down. i will be more than happy to assist.” Xam grinned and said “You’ll be the first one I call.” and she blushed slightly as the Sentinel’s Tactical Officer turned and made his way to the fifteenth floor, lake side.

Ra’Ti, Tactical

Rende was ready for a good rest. The whole crew needed it. Her XO and yeoman more than anyone after all the extra work they had taken on. When Rende mentioned it to both of them, separately, they balked and said they preferred to stay on the ship. She had to actually order them to take leave. She appreciated the dedication, but they needed to recharge whether they wanted to or not.

Rende walked into the Three Lakes and breathed in deeply. This was place was shady, and the kind of people Rende understood and could respect to various degrees.
She wasn’t likely to be bothered here, either. She’d been here many times, though it had been long enough no one would remember her. Memories flooded her of the last time she and Eldorin had been there. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Hello, Asam.” The woman nodded and looked up the reservation, “Ah yes, you requested the suite on the 20th floor, but it had to be closed for … renovations. But we have placed you in the suite on the fifteenth floor. Same layout and view. Will that be acceptable?” It wasn’t a big deal for Rende, probably for the best anyway. She could tell from the woman’s voice something unexpected had happened. “Yes that’s fine.
Thank you.” Rende took the key pass and then the lift to the floor.
