[Private to Arthas]

How'd the meeting go, Commander?

Nothing they really needed to say in person. If they thought they could push me around just because I'm human they had another thing coming. I think they've agreed to embargo the Argan-aligned in the region, though, so whatever; I got what I came for. We have a few days to burn before the Invincible is expected back in the Ultlora sector.

A few days, huh.

Y'know, this is just a suggestion, but we don't need to be burning those few days in this cesspit.

I'd really rather not. I promise the crew this shore leave, though.

So let's take it someplace with an actual shore, huh?

I hear Yctlan is nice this time of year. You've heard of it, right? Their entire economy is pretty much built around their entertainment industry. It's only a couple days' flight from here, it's pretty much on the way to where we're going anyways, and I think you deserve a better vacation than this.

If we leave now, we'll get a good few days out of it before the next date in your diary. More if we push the engines.

Yctlan. [He laughs.] I wonder if we could actually get away with that.

Let's find out. C'mon, what's the worst that could happen?

Oh - tch. Demerits.

[He fears no demerits 8|]

And who's ever given a damn about those? Let's go have some decent shore leave for a change, instead of wasting time in whatever craphole some bureaucrat's arranged the next meeting in.

Heh.

Send out a message that the crew has four hours to wrap up what they're doing here. I'll go get the engineers that are left here on warming up the blur drives.

Consider it done, sir.
