UFS Arcadia – shore leave
The forest was an amazing sight. Lush, full... green as far as the eye could see. Civilization was miles away. Some type of creature was singing off in the distance... a cheery and lilting melody. Over head, the stars shown in all their brilliance... a rich tapestry of luminescence.
Stasia Nyerko did something that would have absolutely stunned her fellow shipmates. She smiled. This is the life, she thought to herself. Alone... under the stars... living on the natural world around her. It was what she was best at... what she had been trained to do. And it seemed... what she loved doing most.
She loved her position aboard the Arcadia. But... starships were so... cramped. Not like here. Tossing another stick onto the fire, she settled back, breathing the fresh, crisp air deep into her lungs. Most of the crew was elsewhere... probably in one of the settlements. Stasia had stayed long enough to get supplies.
The young redhead walked into the same club that the Aprils were currently enjoying. Amanda Maraquin-Brock smiled broadly. The place was alive... happy. And there were several of her fellow crew members present.
Walking to the bar, Amanda ordered a drink, and looked over the dancers and revelers present. Tossing back her hair, she closed her eyes, feeling the music wash over her. Turning back to pick up her drink, she took a sip. She wasn't sure what it was exactly...but it was very refreshing.
Admiral and Captain April were sitting at a table across the room... apparently having a conversation with one of the waiters of this establishment. Not wanting to interrupt their time alone, Amanda started looking around the room for another one of her crew mates... or anybody else with a friendly face.
