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."

Surprise, surprise, Watts had plucked a bit of greenery as they passed by some and was twirling it between his fingers as they looked around.

“Miss Beniko,” Watts greeted with a slight nod, still twirling the bit of greenery he’d plucked from somewhere between his fingers. “If I might have a moment of your time?”

Libby would always go for the tours when they were available (less chance of her wandering off this way, really!), but when that tour also included a ride on some great fantastical creature?

Good luck convincing her to want to do anything else!

Steven was once again taking photos of everything. Well, not literally everything, but plenty of photos all the same.

The lack of skyscrapers was an immense relief after the last couple of weeks, honestly.

Steph had actually gone and gotten one of those holo-thingies at some point during last week's field trip, which she was gleefully putting to use right now.

When there was a free moment, Steven came over to Steph. "Steph, hello! How are you?"

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

“Hmm?” Watts followed her gaze down to the bit of greenery he’d been fiddling with and blinked, as if just realizing it was there. “Ah. Yes. I was wondering- how much do you know about those… simulation rooms, at the apartments?”

‘Holosuite’, technically, but it wasn’t as if Watts knew enough about them to be aware of the proper name.

Holosuites,” Watts repeated the unfamiliar word. “Yes, those.”

“I can navigate the Google and take photographs with my mobile telephone, but that is about where my expertise ends,” Watts admitted. “I suppose- I was hoping to find out how one went about creating a scenario to be used.”
