New Thessalonica Space-port, Planet Yuma, Coronado
The moment Frank went out the door, he excused himself from the ladies and quickly took his leave. A busy man indeed.
Seeing the smiles on Doreen and Benjen's faces, Kara couldn't stop from smiling herself. It had been some time since she saw that kind of awe in someone's eyes. She slowly descended the ship's ramp and stated with a tone of pride "Welcome to New Thessalonica! Capital City of the Crayter Republic."
To her right, a small crimson-coloured shuttle was already parked, with the driver reading the latest holo-news in silence. One could notice a large amount of luggage in the back of the small vessel. Kara took note of it and let out a slight sigh before commenting "Ah well, seems like this is good bye. I've been instructed to let you know that, for the moment, you've been assigned to a small apartment in Residential Complex T-4, on the east side of the city." - as she kept talking, she gestured towards the parked shuttle - "The shuttle here will take you right in front of the building and the driver will help you get all your things inside."
She paused for a second, then continued "Minister Kase invited you both at an official dinner tonight, at which other officials will also be present. He mentioned that you'll be given the job offer at this meeting. The minister said it will take place in the Grand Hall of the 'Eurybia' Theater, right outside of Complex T-4, so it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes by foot to get there." Kara ended. She took another pause, then leaned forward towards Benjen saying "You make sure your mom doesn't get lost; ok, lad?"
Not the most entertaining of remarks, but Kara never had children so the only time she interacted with them was when guests of Gaia-II would have kids along with them. Alas, after receiving a response, she would allow Doreen and Benjen to leave, while she would go home to get some rest.
Descriptive supplement:
Apartment 6, Residential Complex T-4, New Thessalonica, Planet Yuma, Coronado
As one would arrive in any of the Residential Complexes of New Thessalonica, he/she would notice buildings of flats, covered in white, grey and red plates, with an architecture similar to most Sirian designs, but the touch of Crayter was clearly visible. There was something that made the blocks feel... somewhat like castle towers, valiant in a sense, while still maintaining a civilian appearance.
Inside any of the four-floor buildings, designated for citizens under state-care, there would be an elevator and each flat would look pretty much the same. There's one main room with a double-bed, some extra furniture and a basic computer. Then a bathroom and a small kitchen fit with all the basics.
Apartment 6 is no different, except for a few plants being added and an old-fashioned telescope with a paper note attached to it - addressed to nobody in particular.
As a new citizen of our nation, it is our hope you will find a good life here. And, just as the telescope once helped humans in getting closer to the stars, we hope the Republic will help you get closer to your dreams.
