We'll get him out of here and back to bed okay?"Thus defused the situation ends as quickly as it began, the other bar patrons, seeing that the fight is over return to their drinking. Saanath and Tuan get drunk enough to be well out of it* and no one notices or objects when Gwydion slips out early the next morning on a little private espionage mission.      The K'kree are <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3097308&postcount=265" target="_blank">staying </a> a few hundred miles away from the capital city and Starport, at a one and a half horse town called Untergard. Any travel on Shrigegge outside the major cities requires a permit and a good reason.        Ordinarily this might be a problem, however you've already clocked that the Starport does have a PR booth that the K'kree have hired on a short term let for PR and BS purposes. It's not staffed by their own people and no K'kree or even Girug'kagh are on site, but instead it is being run by local humans. Their main function appears to be to hand out glossy flyers inviting people to the:"2000 Worlds Cultural Expo"An exhibition of K'kree culture, art, craft, and, especially cuisine. They seem to be very evangelical about their vegitarianism, but in the "No, Lentils really are tasty!!" way and not in the "Put down the steak knife or we kill you" way. It's that way thus far anyway, and as long as the Coronel is watching them, that's about as far as it'll go. Of course if anyone is dumb enough to have a barbacue next door to where there staying they'd probably be regarded as signing their own death warrant...     This should be happening on Dukh, and the K'kree are probably not overly happy about wasting their time on what is frankly a backwater world. However, the locals, and especially government, on Shirgegge think this is the greatest thing that's happened to their planet for a generation or more and seem to be proud and generous hosts. As such they're actively encouraging people to go and visit and getting a travel permit to Untergard is fairly easy, and, shockingly, free. The short hop by gravbus is only 15cr and the first one leaves at 07:30 Starport, 0745 Shirgegge Imperial, 09:00 Untergard, thereafter every half an hour.     Security is tight, even for a world with this restrictive a law level, so don't even think about taking a weapon. Or a ham sandwich for that matter. The Pre-trip briefing is very explicit that the whole town of Untergard has been declared a meat free zone so that "Untergard extends traditional Shrigegge hospitality to their Interstellar guests". Anyone wearing Leather shoes is obliged to take them off and be issued plastic replacements.    Basically you are faced with an already intrusive government being incredibly PC towards unsusually picky alien guests.OOC:Unless they state otherwise.</blockquote>
