"Good afternoon everyone, this is your Captain. I wanted to update you on the status of our jump to the Tamadere system. Looks like our Astrogator bought us a few more days at the Council. Because of his skill in handling the vagueries of Jumpspace, we are now scheduled to arrive on Dukh two days prior than our earlier projection, and in time for opening ceremonies. Hopefully that means another interview or two for each and every one of the passengers abaord. So, enjoy your dinner - I will be meeting several of you in my dining room in a few minutes - and relax. Three days to Tamandere." The rest of the evening passes without incident. For those interested in the Captain's guests tonight, they consist of a groups of several Galangic Lit. graduates from Darammiya University. A middle aged Luriani woman named Krista Giru wins the evening's Pazak tournament, in which Eduardo loses more than Cr250. He tells Saanath and Tomas that he's giving up gambling for the rest of the trip. Ruzz'koff and Zaedhrarrg find that Cassius has been reassigned to an upper deck stateroom, and that they have each received a voucher for a two night stay in a luxury suite at the Hiranu Plaza Tower Hotel in Gateway City on Dukh. "I sincerely regret the rudeness you have experienced aboard my ship. Please accept these as a token of apology. Yours, Captain Julia Darius," read the attached notes. By the next day, everyone on the ship seems to be settling into routines. Ktarlewaweikye sees many of the same people at the next day's Hiranucorp seminar (which this time is divided into smaller groups based on specialties which interest the applicants - The ship's doctor is not there running a group, however, as Ktarlewaweikye did not fill out on of the cards the day before.) The captain's dinner guests seem to be taken from a different section of staterooms each night, and tonight they again come from the upper deck and are mostly Luriani. Late in the evening on the third day, Andrei gets himself confined to quarters after breaking a kid's arm in a bar fight. Eduardo loses another Cr100 at Pazak. On the fourth day, the Captain begins holding lunches as well as dinners, to make up for those who had been scheduled on the last two days of this leg of the trip - (this includes invitations for Quinn, Anaarsi, Zaed, Ruzz'koff, Tomas, Eduardo, Saanath, Ktarlewaweikye, and Vyrkris on the fifth evening) . Trelene, meanwhile, receives an invitation to dine with Tagir in the officers' mess. She has a pleasant meal, and he and a couple of the younger engineers toss around some ideas for reducing the size of the current generation of jump drives - its mostly just engineers' BS that won't lead to anything, but it's fun to hear everyone's improbably theories. Zaed finally gets enough time with Vyrkris to ask her to dinner, and they also have a nice time. She has forgotten, it seems, about the K'kree, and instead spends the time talking (quickly and non-stop) about her time at university. She's, pretty, and very nice, but Zaed can't help but feel a little older than he is while listening to her.</blockquote>
