Dean seemed to brace himself with a deep sigh as the vehicle stopped before opening the door. Instantly the vehicle was almost bombarded with sights, smells, and sounds. It was a drastic change from the quiet little spaceport they left five minutes earlier. Loud choral-like music filled the air. It was not unpleasant and felt almost ethereal to a listener. The vehicle was in what looked like a courtyard filled with colorful banners and flowers. Fountains were scattered about the space clad in gleaming white marble. A sweeping staircase led into the palace at the far side of the courtyard. Beltrans milled about talking as if it were a garden party but abruptly stopped speaking as Lt. Dean stepped out. Clapping and loud whispers filled the space as every Beltran waited for the rest of the people in the vehicle to disembark. It was as if the crew of the Genesis were celebrities and every Beltran was waiting for a glimpse of them.

Magnus adopted the posture he’d learned to use during his years with the diplomatic service on the Celtic as he followed the Lieutenant out of the vehicle. Straight-backed hands clasped behind him, a smile that showed no teeth, and a neutral if friendly expression on his face. “Very palatial” He said his tone no longer had his usual half-amused quality. He straightened his uniform with a practiced maneuver “I’m assuming this is their high society?”

“Are you being punny,” Vanessa asked looking at Magnus with a subtle smile as she stood next to them. The intelligence they had received stated the height of the Beltrans but it was extreme but seeing it something different. “I think I am going to need a step stool to have a conversation with them,” joked.

“Everybody smile for the cameras,” Dagen said just before stepping out. To Reia he said, “We didn’t get this kind of attention at our wedding. Guess we can be a celebrity couple.”

He stepped out and aside waiting for Reia to join him while scanning all about. ‘Deeg would be so paranoid right now, waiting for everyone to turn into large blue multi fanged creatures and eat him.’ .. Dagen half wondered if that was .. accurate. Everything was so flashy, distracting. Was that the point or was this what they were like.

“Lt Dean, does everyone get this .. reception?” he asked as he passed him.
- Dagen

Reia stepped out and joined Dagen. She briefly looked around and wondered why the hell they were stuck in dress uniforms. It made practical sense but not a good showing in her opinion.

“Where are the children?” she whisper very softly to Dagen.

It had been something on her mind since they had hit the ground for some reason. Damn her grandparents for all their silly ideas.
