The Becoming Of A Crayterian

[Atreides2]

Ryo enjoyed the food being served, remembering that for a couple of days he had Army rations.

He turned his head towards Dean "You remember our trip to Tau 44 and the army rations we had? I think we need to check with Felix and maybe they can change it. I admit they are good and easy to make but.. " he stopped as he heard Doreen enquiring about New Astarte

"Hmm, New Astarte is our educational centre. An artificial island dedicated to only one purpose: Education and Research. The headquarters of 53rd Athene Squadron is there, same as Yuma University and Aithne Research Academy. Is a biodome island with a central dome and 5 additional small ones. They hold all the laboratories and accommodation that the students and teachers require. Green area covers the space between the buildings and a big variety of flora from Sirius can be seen and also small eco systems. The fresh air is coming from on top of the biodome when they are open. The gyroscopes of the islands and the hydro engines gives stability and also adjust course as needed and the energy is mostly green but also 2 reactors are present." Ryo coughs and takes a sip of Supernova "But there are other islands to choose from besides New Astarte and New Thessalonica. I also recommend New Corinth, New Aegaeon, New Alpheus, New Europa, New Medusa, New Galene. This are Serpent class islands. Think of them as the city states from the Ancient Earth. The modular islands are also interesting so I can also recommend New Proteus, New Pontus,New Hesperius and New Tritea. Hexagonal forms they have, blocks and villas are build on the edges and in the middle there is the calm and warm waters of Equatorial Yuma. Small artificial beaches are also present there. If you earn for the smell of grass and countryside like life, the Agricultural islands are also to be looked upon. I,myself would recommend New Athos, New Tiraspol and New Sumatra." Ryo takes a bite and a drink " And Doctor, also the Medical Islands have accommodation. New Hippocrate, New Dalphin and New Cymopoleia are Globe class islands. A marvelous I may add, three quarters of the island is underwater. Accommodations are also found there while the New Alesius is still under construction. Honestly Doctor, you need to see and choose. "

Ryo takes another bite and waits for Doreen response and he is thinking about his small appartment on New Athos.
