While the large group of senior staff accompanied Max and Nico into the elevator to head for the eateries on the fifth floor, the crew on the bridge of Terminus moved the mighty Cruise Ship into position for a transfer to their first stop, a collapsing Nebula that was forming a new star.
The itinerary had them staying there for the evening and leaving the next morning for the resort world, where they would have some guests departing and others coming on board for the extended trip.
This next leg wouldn't have many chances for anyone to get on or off the vessel, so the remainder of this week would see plenty of transfers as the guests who did not have an entire month to sight see transferred off the ship.
"Commander, it's so good to see you again. Will you be staying a while?" One of the guests asked the moment that the elevator doors opened to reveal a crowded corridor with a clear path down the middle for them to walk.
