Sir Lt Gopal Sultana & Athena Solis meet on way to Marduk
Sir Lt Sultana arrives at the restaurant about 10 minutes early to make sure that his reservation is handled correctly. He is dressed in a standard jumpsuit, albeit one that is hand-tailored to a flattering fit and sharply creased and pressed. A bottle of wine is already at the table, opened and allowed to breathe. He fills the time waiting for Pioneer's captain looking out the viewport at the planetary disk below and reading a book on his tablet.
continuing the conversation
later that day
Suraksha to Pioneer: Approaching from spaceward, requesting permission to dock. Acknowledge signal when ready. Suraksha out.
Pioneer to Suraksha: (ten minutes later) Whoa, hey dude, sorry about that wait. I was packing my bag and Boss is busy per usual. But the sooner you dock, the sooner I can leave so come on over! You ever pilot one of these ships before? They're a hoot, but man, the owners, I tell you. I think I prefer the beaker scientists. Quiet, less crazy, you know? I still need my last paycheck so all I'll say is: if one of her "experiments" stares at you, do NOT stare back. Good luck, dude! Pioneer out.
Suraksha to Pioneer: That's quite alright, Pioneer. No hard feelings, I hope, although it sounds like you're not too upset. I've piloted this class once before, but they've a reputation for being quite individual. Thanks for the warnings, I'll keep my distance. Luck on your next berth. I'm initiating the docking sequence now. Suraksha out.
