Oreste nodded at Sarah and he was glad that she decided to visit Borneo, 'Good, maybe she can bring a bit of hope to our new project' he thought and he realized how comfortable he felt in her presence, like he knows her for a long time. Smiling, he strapped in and watched the docking ring opening and allowing the vessel to enter.
A few minutes later the shuttle entered in a trajectory toward the New Thessalonica, taking a tour of the capital city "Welcome to New Thessalonica ladies and gentlemen, the capital of the Republic. We will proceed to Docking Pad E, on the North West Port of the island. The temperature is around 28 degrees with a mild wind coming from the south, indicating a possible storm hitting the island. Please note that all flights are cancelled or redirected 25 minutes prior of the storm hitting to allow the shield to protect the city. If you are caught in the city, do not worry, there is plenty of you to be done and see and ILL is staying at your disposal with city tours. Thank you for flying with us and we welcome you to Yuma"
Oreste turned towards Sarah "Well, it seems that we may be stuck a little on the Capital. Do not worry, the ILL will arrange for us to travel to New Astarte as soon as possible, but usually when a storm hits in this area, is pretty bad. Most likely most of the islands already activated their shields. I am curious how our New Hippocrate is doing in this situation... That hospital island was a prototype and was designed to just sink beneath the ocean level. Anyway, meanwhile, what you wish to do ?" he said without even throwing a glimpse to the mixture of architectural designs that made the island so unique, where the classic style mixed so well with Neo-Gregorian and with the Goth structures build near a simply Utilitarian block, with swathes of green and trees planted to offer the people the most needed shadow during the summer.
