Galactic Field Trips, Monday

"Hello, everybody." Lana smiled. "Today we can step through the portal before I do our introduction." She waved them through, where they came out in front of a stately home in a cool climate (which they had been alerted to dress for).

"Welcome to Alderaan. It's somewhat less cosmopolitan than either of the capitals. The inhabited area is largely forests and mountains. The cities are smaller and largely centered around noble houses - House Thul and House Organa are two of the major houses locally. We won't be visiting either of them, though; politics are very important here, and which house is aligned with which government can be a touchy subject. The Alliance's staunchest allies here are the indigenous species, the killiks."

She nodded to a man standing a little way off, and he came over and bowed. "Good afternoon. We are Vector Hyllus, the Dawn Herald of the Oroboro nest. We will be your guide through the nest today, where you will encounter some of our art and technology. Most killiks cannot speak Basic, but joiners like us can and will. Please let us know if you have any questions."

Lana nodded to Vector. "There is also an aerial tour of the planet, which I highly recommend because the thrantas are SO EFFING COOL OMG, but which is entirely optional if you have difficulties with heights."

Nell just found the whole place fascinating and she spent a good deal of time lookingaround.

"I do like my plants," Nell said with a smile. "Oh! We're going to be watching a baseball game at my house tomorrow night if you'd like to join us."

"I don't know much myself, but it's more an excuse to get together and have snacks," Nell said. "Gladio actually has learned a lot about it, and Marc, of course, knows a lot."

"Anything you want to drink beyond beer, water, tea, or coffee," Nell said. "I'll have a bunch of snack food and last time Ignis made something for Gladio to bring."

"I borrowed a book from the library called, 'Baseball for Dummies,'" Nell admitted. "It helped me with the basics."

"There's a whole series of books like that," Nell said. "They do seem to break things down pretty well "
