***ADVERTISEMENT*** The Grand Illusion Resort & CASINO! - TomMorse - 07-29-2013
Suddenly, your communications panel beeps, indicating an incoming transmission.
***BEEPBEEPBEEP
Three beeps. Rapid succession. Advertisement. You recall an old term you heard about in some historical documentary about mankind's first integrated information network; "SPAM"...
Your hand reaches out to hit the big, red "IGNORE" button. Just as your finger touches the well worn button, about to apply pressure, it stops. An animal instinct has overcome your psyche. Through the integrated speaker comes what is, quite probably, the most beautiful feminine voice you have ever heard. Dignified, eloquent, smooth and sexy, with just a hint of a sweet, Kusari accent. You decide to listen, if only to hear her voice:
***INCOMING TRANSMISSION***
***ENCRYPTION: NONE***
***SOURCE: SYS. WIDE B.CAST***
***TYPE: AUDIO/VISUAL RECORDING***

Her face comes into view. Stunning. As she speaks, rising from a bridge comms station panel chair and walking towards the viewer, wearing a sexy yet professional form fitting uniform, the view backs away to show the entire bridge.

"Are you exhausted from too much hard work? Are you looking for a place to relax in the lap of luxury? Somewhere that is elegant, soothing, and yet affordable"?
Her eyes shine with a sympathetic light, making you want to relax in her warm embrace as she soothes away all your stress and aches. Suddenly, her expression changes, her eyes now daring, devilish, promising sinful delight as she walks with a tantalizing tilt to her hips, her graceful lips pursed as if ready to kiss...
"Or do you have a lot of pent up energy? Are you looking for a place to indulge in sinful delight? Do you want to party, socialize, or engage in exciting, high-stakes gambling? Either way, If you sail with us, you will not be disappointed. So climb aboard our starship, and come sail away aboard The Grand Illusion Resort & Casino Enterprise Cruise Liner"!
She finishes, throwing her arms wide and up, as if to encompass the entirety of the ship, cocking her hips, a bright and exciting smile on her face. The view changes without transition, showing each of the Liner's amenities and facilities, taking you on a tour of the vessel as she continues to speak, now your tour guide.
"Aboard the Grand Illusion, you will find all this, and more! Come aboard and stow your luggage in one of our luxurious staterooms or VIP suites, before heading down to one of our 15 spas! Catering to all tastes, from Kusari zen massage, mud baths, skin rejuvenation and more! Our highly trained and experienced spa technicians will help you wash away all of your aches and pains!"
"Afterwards, why not head on over to the Solar Ray, or one of 5 other fine restaurants, and sample cuisines from all across the Sirius sector."
"For the discerning bachelor, visit the "Gentlemen's Hour" club, and watch our sinfully delightful exotic dancers perform for your pleasure!"
"Or, join your friends for a truly unique experience poolside on the "Sphere Deck"! The Sphere Deck is truly a one of a kind experience found nowhere else in Sirius!Using gravitic manipulation, the entire "pool" is a sphere of water suspended and free floating just a foot above the deck, which is lined with a soft, flexible and porous safety padding!"
"In addition, you will find 15 wideport viewing lounges, 8 cocktail bars, 4 cigar lounges, and over 20 mini bars throughout the ship! And of course, the main attraction, the Grand Illusion Casino itself, with hundreds of slot machines, 80 card tables, 20 roulette wheels, and MORE, all staffed with highly trained professionals whose only purpose is to see to your EVERY delight!"
"So what are you waiting for? Contact your local booking agent now, and come sail away with me, on board the Grand Illusion Resort & Casino!"
With that last statement, the view has changed to the outside of the vessel, displaying her graceful lines amidst the backdrop of nebulous, star strewn space, somehow seeming to, at least in part, fill up the emptiness of the void. The video cuts to black, leaving you with a header titled "MORE INFORMATION", and two links floating on the screen:

RE: ***ADVERTISEMENT*** The Grand Illusion Resort & CASINO! - TomMorse - 07-29-2013
After a successful voyage from Aomori Station, Honshu, to Planet Erie, Pennsylvania (with the scouting assistance of the Aurora.Alpha), The Grand Illusion Resort & Casino toured the system of Pennsylvania, visiting the Hallam nebula and most of the systems planets and their beautiful ring systems, and finally weighed anchor near Planet Erie. It was decided, due to the beauty of the various solar bodies, to remain in Pennsylvania until tomorrow, when the Grand Illusion will board passengers from Planet Erie and once again tour the Pennsylvania system.
A successful first voyage!
