The Akegata-class Transport "Daikokunyo" enters orbit of Planet Curacao.

---

A retching jolt ran through the alloy skeleton of the ship as the Daikokunyo hit a heavy pocket of atmospheric turbulence, perhaps Mother Nature's gentle way of reminding the spacefaring crew just who's ultimately in charge around here. In the pilot's chair, Kimi threw an irritated glance out at Curacao's unruly weather-system, then casually punched in the co-ordinates for Samson Resort.

"Samson Air Traffic Control, this is Daikokunyo Actual, requesting permission to land. Transmitting verification codes now..."

"Hey, Samson Control, that should be with you now, please confirm and advise."


Following a brief crackling of gentle static flowing from the comm-system, the lazy drawl of what sounded to be a middle-aged Texan male came floating out of the speakers and into the stale, recycled air of the cockpit, "Yeah... yeah, we gowt ya Dee-kokunyo Ac-chew-al, jus' follow the ol' guidance path right on down to the landin' pad. Have yerselves a dee-lightful visit now, ya hear?"

"Arigato Samson Control, good day to you, sayonara!... Daikokunyo comm out."


Kimi reached out to slap the 'Terminate Transmission' button, and turned to a crew member sitting at a large, complex-looking terminal,

"Hideo, patch in to Director Cross's residence, let them know we'll be landing soon."


The pilot shuffled herself down comfortably as she returned Hideo's affirmative nod with a casual 'v-sign' with one hand, slouching back as she watched the azure ocean speed past below her. As that holiday feeling sunk in, Kimi vaguely registered the sharp, clipped tones of Hideo's half of the conversation, "Kon'nichiwa, can I leave a message for Director Cross, kudasai?"... A brief pause... "Hai, I want to inform Director Cross that Captain Takeyama will be landing soon... Hai, hai... Hai, ETA approximately 37 minutes, arigato."

Cait had a Relaxed day at her home, the Samson Resort was an 80 Room Former Luxury Resort. The Place was Originaly Run by a Smal Holiday Company that went Bankrupt during the Gallic War. Cait had Bought the Resort at the Start of the Rheinland Civil War as she had Evacuated Stephanies Whole Family out of Rheinland and needed a place for them to life. Now Samson was her Home, and also the Home of Many that she Considered as her Family. During the Years she had Learned to Love Samson even when she was a Child of the Stars. Now she was Laying on the sundeck and worked at her tan by being Lazy as the Comm Unit Next to her Came to Life, it was Max from the Controle Room. the Old Junker from Beaumont was Part of her Crew and already Retired, but he didn't want to lay low so he Worked Part-Time in the Air Traffic Controle Center of Samson just to have something to do.

Ey Boss Lady, we have a Kusarian Incoming. The code is Legit but ah wanted to ask ya if You Expect them? It's a Capitan Takey...something ya know I have my Problems with that Kusari Names, she sounded Cute maybe one of your Playmates?

Cait Smirked and Looked over to Stephanie, the Tall Blonde Rheinlander was Laying at the Chair next to her and was Deeply Asleep. Cait Whipped some of Steph's Hair out of her Face in a Loving Gesture.


It's Ok Max I Expect only one Person and the Description Fits so just let her Land. Steph and I will await her at the Pad.

The old Man Chuckles and Cuts the Connection. As Cait Wakes Stephanie with a Loving Kiss. She didn't have the Nerve to get Dressed now so she just wraps a Towel Around her Hips and goes in her Bikini. Stephanie Shakes her Head with a Smile and Puts a Light Robe on before she follows her. Cait was a ca 1.79 Meter Tall Redhead, Her hair was Open except for two braids Left and Right of her Face that are Hold together with many Copper Colored Metal Rings. Stephanie, in Contrast, was a 2 Meter Tall Blonde Rheinlander. she had Long Blonde Hair that reached halfway down her back and the Body of a Soldier. The two of them knew Sasmon well and Reached the Landing Pad fast enough to see the Ship Landing. They stood at the Side of it Cait in the Front and Steph at her Left behind her as they Waited for Kimi to Come out.

The warm, fresh air of Planet Curacao floods into the Daikokunyo as the landing bay door creaks open.

---

The Daikokunyo settled slowly onto the Sansom Resort landing pad, bursts of hot air from the stabilisers washing over the plascrete like the breath of an improbably titanic floating herbivore. Following the dull, rumbling thuds of the landing gears contacting the ground, the Daikokunyo's bay door inched open to the industrial sounds of massive gears.

Blinking in the vivid sunlight as she disembarked the ship, Kimi adjusted her black baseball cap, and peeled off her synth-leather jacket. The slim, 5'5" Kusari pilot looked to be in her mid-twenties, a long ponytail flowing out of the back of her cap, her clothes a gaudy combination of black and neons. Glancing around as she slung the jacket over her left shoulder, hooked casually on one finger, Kimi spotted the redhead from the transmissions.

"Kon'nichiwa Cait!" Kimi yelled across the plascrete, as she swerved her amble over to approach the pair of women waiting at the edge of the landing pad, flashing a friendly v-sign at Director Cross with her free hand. "And you must be Stephanie? A pleasure to meet you, I'm Kimi Takeyama" she said, turning to the towering blond Rheinlander with a polite Kusari-style bow.


Kimi straightened herself again with a pleasant smile "Arigato, both of you, for welcoming me to your home."

Cait Smiled Warm and Welcoming at Kimi her White Skin had a Light Tan and she didn't seem to care a Bit that she Welcomed Kimi in just a Bikini with a Towel Around her Hips. Cait Gave the Impression that it was totally Natural to Greet someone she met for the first time in Person Like this. Steph on the Other hand Blushed a bit and seemed as if she had Liked that Cait had put on some More Clothes as she did. But Steph Knew that her Love liked to shock the People a bit to see their Real faces behind the Everyday Mast that most of them Weared. Cait Reached her Hand to Kimi as she Greeted her.

Cait: Welcome to our Home Kimi, sorry for my rather revealing clothes we just took a Litle Sunbath as you Landed. a Nice ship you have there. But the Left Engine Block could Need an Adjustment
At the fuel consumption rate, it Burns too Much Fuel and that way too Fast If you Reduce the Fuel Speed to the Engine at a rate of 6% a Minute the Vibrations in the engine would Decrease and you Increase the Engine Life without a Reduction of Speed.

Steph sighs and Gave her Wife a Loving Slap at the Back of her head. Cait Made a Litle Squeal and Gave Steph a Played Bad Look, but she couldn't hold it for long and a Smirk appeared on her face. Steph also Reached a Hand to Kimi and Smiled Welcoming at her.

Steph: Yes I am Stephanie Cross, it's Nice to Meet you, Kimi. and Yes I was Crazy Enough to Marry that Readhead Troublemaker. I also apologize for my wife when she sees a Ship she can't control her Urge to Tinker with it. But she never makes a Mistake when she uses her "Junker Voodo" on a Ship, she can somehow Feel the "Pain of a Ship" as she calls it.

Cait didn't Like it when Steph called it "Voodo", but she was Right Caits Instinct told her always what a Ship needed and her Engineering Skills could make her Fix it. Cait Wasnt a Junker anymore since she was 16 but she had some of her Skills.

Cait: Well Shall we go inside? we have Prepared a Room for you to stay overnight after the Race as it can become Pretty Late Tonight. You and Your Crew are our Guests and Cann Order Anything you want from the Room Service, Free of Charge of Course. The Race will Start Later today at the Main Island so you can Refresh yourself before we Take my Boat to Drive over to it. There will be 27 Boats at the Race and the Only allowed Engine is the Wind in the Sails.

They Lead Kimi to their Private Residence at Samson, It was a bright and friendly place that reflected the personalities of the two women. The Big Windows were open and a Refreshing Seabreeze Filled the Rooms. They showed Kimi their Home as if she was an Old Friend that came by after a long time. Kimis Room was in Cait and Stephs House just Some Doors away from their own Bedroom. The Room was a Mix of Luxury and Comfort in a Perfect Symbiosis, Kimi had her own Bath and a Litle Private Balcony where she could relax on. The Bath had a Big Rainshower and a Bathtub with Massage jets and a Wide Variety of High-Quality Shampoos and Bath Oils.

Steph: We hope you Like it and can Relax a Bit while you are here Kimi, Cait and I know how Stressful a Life Between the Stars can be so we wanted to offer you some Relaxation. Sadly we cant offer every one of your Crew a Room Like this but they are Welcome to Order anything they want from Samsons Room Service for Free and to use the Public Areas of the Resort.

A light, warm tropical breeze rustles the leaves of the native palm-like plants surrounding the landing pad.

---

Kimi took Cait's offered hand, shaking it in the customary Liberty fashion as she popped a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders at the wardrobe apology, "Should have dressed a little more apropriately myself, neh?" she said, giving the jacket slung over her shoulder a waggle for emphasis. Having grown up in the cramped confines of New Tokyo's overcrowded vertical mega-cities, there's probably not much she hasn't seen before.

Glancing over at the Akegata sitting across the landing pad, Kimi nodded slowly along with Cait's explanation of the engine block adjustments, scratching thoughtfully at her head "Hai... hai, I think I get what you're saying. I'm a pilot, not an engineer though, so I'll have to pass that on to the engineering team. Less spend on replacement parts sounds like a winner to me though!"

She let out a soft chuckle, turning to Steph with a playful wink "Hai, hai, well, she's welcome to 'voodoo' the Daikokunyo all she likes, if it's going to save me credits."

The trio continued talking as they headed for the residential buildings, Kimi's gaze wandering over the tropical scenery as she discussed plans for the visit with Cait "Sailing boats, huh? Should be interesting, I've seen the speedboat races on NT, but never seen a sailing race first-hand before. Guess that's a whole different set of skills compared to running with a motor, huh?"

Kimi's room seemed to live up to expectations, the transport pilot letting out a sharp gasp as the door opened "Oh... It's lovely, and so spacious too! Something like this would set you back a fortune on New Tokyo". She pulled a slim handheld comm-unit from her pocket, offering Steph an appreciative nod, before pushing the transmit contact "Hideo? Can you ask someone to bring my warm-weather travel bag over to room 42, and you and the crew make sure to enjoy yourselves while we're here, hai? Not going to get a holiday like this again soon, neh?"

Slipping the comm back into her pocket, Kimi grinned at the pair of women "Hai, a little clean-up wouldn't hurt, the showers on the Daikokunyo aren't exactly luxurious. So the race is tomorrow, hai? Is there a dress code, or just whatever's comfortable?"

Cait: Nay Kimi in my House you can Wear whatever you Like as long as you Dressed at all. I have a Lot of Formalities and Protocols in my Job so I want to be Free of them at Home. So just be yourself and do what you Like we won't Mind.

Cait and Steph Smiled at Kimi as Steph stood again behind Cait and Nodded to Support her Love in this. They were happy that Kimi Liked her Room, Hospitality was very important for them. Cait Showed Kimi the Bath, it was a Luxurious Place with a Rainshower and a Big Bathtub. All kinds of High-Quality Shampoos and Bath Oils were Present for Kimi to Use.

Steph: She is Right Kimi just feel yourself at home, you can use anything you want it's all for you. And yes it's you are Right that a Sailing Boat needs a Totaly Different Skillset than a Speedboat, you have only what Nature Gives you as an Engine and you need to Work with the Ocean. It's also a Team Sport, each Boat haves at least 3 Crewmember and the Race takes Several Hours.

Cait Opened a Closet and showed Kimi some Bath towels and Bathrobes Made from the coziest materials. It had a Litle Logo of her Liner the "Red Velvet Club" on them. The Woman wanted to show Kimi that she was Welcome here as more than just a Business Partner. That a Relaxed Kimi would Probably Make the Negotiations Easier was a nice Side Effect.

Cait: Curacao Is a world with Big Oceans and even when the Sea is Mostly Calm it can be Verry Exhausting to Steer a Boat only with the Power of the Wind. But now we will leave you alone and so that you can Refresh Yourself. we hope you have a Nice Stay at Samson Kimi. the evening Meal is in 3 Hours if you need us we are just 2 Doors away from you.

The Both of them Left her alone after this and Smirked, Knowing their Suprise for Kimi was already at Work and Did her Magic with the Pans and Pots. Hilda was Dancing Trough the Kitchen and had a Happy Song on her Lips that she Hummed all the time. Her Hands Sliced the Ingredients in a Lightning Speed of an Experienced Cook and her whole Body was Paying attention to what she did, all her Senses were Directed towards the Cooking and Like Cait, with a Ship, Hilda Could Feel the Perfect Timing for the Food to be Prepared and then Cooked. To Know their Favorite Cook that happy made Both of them Smile some more and they were sure that Kimi would Like this Litle Suprise.

The balcony and its attendant view were comparable what a high level Samura executive's wages could get you on New Tokyo.

---

"Hai!", Kimi nodded her head in quick agreement, "Always nice to get the chance to relax.", she responded to Cait's comment about 'Formalities and Protocols' at work. Kimi honoured just about everything with a slow nod of approval as Cait showed her around the luxurious apartment.

Kimi's attention quickly shifted as Steph elaborated the differences between motor- and sail-racing "Ah, hai. Team games are always more fun, neh? Plenty of that on my ship, I'd have been dead 20K out from NT the first time if it wasn't for the crew.". She flashes a wide grin, "I'll be looking forward to it though, is it forecast for wind, or do you...", an index finger jabs directly upwards into the air, "You got weather control here?"

Kimi waggled her eyebrows micheviously as she reached out to touch the fabric of the bath towels and robes, "Oh, these are nice!"

Finally she turns back to Cait and Steph, "Arigato both of you, I'll get myself cleaned up and see you in three hours then, hai?", she smiles and offers a light formal bow to the pair of women.

Alone, after the door clicked softly shut, Kimi ambled around the room for a few moments, admiring the obviously expensive artwork and furniture, before finally wandering into the bathroom. As Kimi cleaned off the thin sheen of space-grime that accumulates inevitably upon those who spend most of their lives on ship, she was anticipating a good meal, but perhaps not quite how good...

While Kimi Relaxed, Hilda was at work. She Prepared a Seafood Dinner with Fish that Came Fresh from a fish farm here on Curacao. Because the Oceans themselves were not Really Suited to Breed Consumable Fish OS&C had decided to Breed some in Aquacultures. Since sustainable food with as little environmental impact as possible was now becoming increasingly popular among the Socialites and VIPs this was a lucrative business. For Hilda, it meant that she could Work with the Best Ingredients Sirius and Gallia had to offer. While the Blonde Haired Cook seemed to Fly through the Kitchen and Prepared the Food.

Cait: This Looks Realy Good Hilda, I am sure Kimi will Love it.

Hilda Smiled and Fillets the fish with a few skilled movements. She Smiled and Blushed a bit as she continued her work and Cuts some Potatoes, for the side Dishes. She had already Prepared a Light Lemon Cream that Rests in the Cooler and Planed Everything from Start to Finish to Serve a Perfect Meal.

Hilda: Danke Sehr, I just try my best here there is no need to Praise me like this. If you Like the Food at the end that's more than enough Compliment for me. I have Decided to Make some Fish and Seafood from Curacao in a Mix from Rheilandic and Kusarian Style. I have Test Cooked it and I Liked the Taste but I hope Kimi will Like it too.

Cait and Steph Smiled at her, it was a big part of Hilda's Charm that she was so Natural and Down to earth. Many of her Customers Enjoyed this Attitude and the Friendly Personality of the Rheinlander.

Steph: Don't Worry Hilda your Food is Always Delicious and I am sure that Kimi will love it.

Cait and Steph Smiled as they left the Kitchen. there was a Note Waiting for Kimi on the Comm unit of her Room.


Hey Kimi the Dinner will be on the terrace outside, Just go out and take the First Turn Left and then Trough the Big Glass Doors. Steph and I will be waiting for you with the Suprise there. Just Dress in whatever you feel comfy with.

Kimi takes the opportunity to receive and reply to some transmissions before dinner.

---

Once dressed and ready, Kimi checked in at the room's comm-unit, taking a moment to read the note left there, before watching and making a couple of quick transmissions. Tapping 'logout' on the terminal, Kimi then ambled out onto the balcony, taking up residence on a comfy futon-sofa to doze in the slowly fading sunlight. Just in time, she remembered to set an alarm on her pocket-comm...

Kimi wandered out onto the terrace right on time, casually dressed in a tank top and cargo shorts that showed off a wealth of tattoos covering ehr arms and legs. "Kon'nichiwa!", she called out, flickering a cheery wave at Cait and Steph, "How are you both?"

The pilot carefully slid onto a chair, possibly a little unused to being in the presence of fragile, high-value furniture, "Ah!", she lifted an eyebrow, laughing with a sense of ironic amusement "Looks like we'll be working with the Liberty Navy on that jillies contract, of all people. You know Salt Lake Station?"

Kimi shrugged up at the other women, an amused smile still playing across her face "Product should be safe there though, neh?"

Cait and Steph enjoyed the Sunset and looked at how the Sun Disappeared into the Ocean and Painted the Skys Red as a good by before the night takes over. Steph had her Head on Cait's shoulder and Smiled as she saw that Kimi came to Join them.

Cait: Yes we know that Place, it's where Hilda haves her Restaurant.

They Smiled as Hilda Came out to the Terrace just some Minutes Later with the Appetizer of the Meal. The Blonde Rheinlander smiled as she Brought a Light Summer Salad out to them.

Hilda: Yes this Station is my Home, But I don't know whether a cafeteria that supplies hungry soldiers can be called a restaurant. But it's Nice to Make the Navy Guys and Girls Happy with my food. Hello, Kimi, it is so nice to meet you in Person.

Cait and Steph Smirked as it seemed that her Surprise was a Success. Both of them Enjoyed the Suprised Look on Kimi's Face and couldn't hold back from a Chuckle.

Steph: Looks like our Suprise went well, we Asked Hilda to Cook for us after you mentioned that you wanted to Try her Skills. And our Hilda was Pretty happy as we told her for who she would cook.

Hilda Blushed and Looked a bit embarrassed about all this Praise. She stepped from one foot on the other and was happy that she had put the Food already on the Table otherwise she might have let it fall to the floor out of Suprise. Hilda just wanted to Cook, to get Praised for her Food so much was something she wasn't fully used to.

Hilda: Ahhmm well the Main Course will be Fish today, I have a Fresh Salmon that I will Serve in a Sweet Wasabi Sauce with Boiled Potatoes and some Green asparagus as the Side Dishes. And I have a Light Lemon Cream that will be served as dessert. I tried a bit to Mix the Rheinlandic and the Kusarian Cuisine in this Dish.

With that Said she Left them, Hilda Blushed and moved a bit faster than usual. after she Left the Terrace she claps her hands together and goes to the Kitchen to Prepare the Final things for the Main Dish.
