Chapter 365: Intel & Recon, Pt 5

Freya and Lucifer walked among the grass and wove between the trees in their cruiser’s central park. The slightly domed roof above them projected a low sun amidst clear skies. Though it was close to a simulated sunset, there was still plenty of light for them to enjoy.

They were grouped up or paired up. Most were chatting with each other, or playing strategy games at park benches, or simply taking winding strolls.
