Revna had finished coordinating details for the their surprise stop. She had relayed the information to Cpt Kris, and their itinerary had been adjusted accordingly. So far the trip had been quiet and smooth. They had made their first stop at Hadru for supplies. It was a quaint little way station with some unique vendors. Serving on a 5 deck ship the whole crew had taken turns getting off to stretch their legs. Mike and Revna had as well. They had spent three days at a larger station and then an outpost taking their time and enjoying it. Most days Mike played and sang and dragged Revna into it as much as possible.

Right now she was sitting on the aft deck, watching the stars through the clear dome and writing down details that Ragna insisted on having for the archives. It was a nice reflective exercise for Revna. Ragna and Seamus should have arrived on Oed by now and Revna wondered how they were both holding up. There was a soft knock on the door from the lounge and Tevna looked up, “Cpt Kris. What can I do for you?”

The man smiled, his ears flicking back and forth. “I wanted to let you and Mike know we will be arriving at Aldebaran this evening. We have a 4 day stop over. And dinner tomorrow night is on me.”

Revna stood, picking up her cup of tea. “Thank you, Kris.” The captain left to return to the bridge and Revna went down a deck looking for Mike.
