Luxurious Vacation on New Paris (// IDF, IMG)

[conmann35]

Everett Fontaine, vice president of Ile-de-France Shipping was exhausted. Along with members of the Sirian Independent Miners Guild he had just completed a roundabout trip to the depths of Sirius and to the edge of the universe. Now returning to the relative safety of cosmopolitan splendor on New Paris, this unlikely group sought rest and relaxation, and what better place to do so than one's home planet? While no resort planet, the capital held many beauties of its own. Between the generous salary afforded to him and the IMG's "piracy insurance" claim, there should be plenty of wine...

Fontaine proceeded to the surface on one of the company flagship liner's offload shuttles, and made his way to the hotel that the IMG had booked on their own arrival. For someone of his stature a corporate limo was always on hand to get him where he needed to be planetside. His suit was none the worse for wear after what had transpired previously. He was ready to get on with this vacation.

Julia felt totally wrecked after a flight that had not only kept her in her pilot's seat for more than 4 hours, but also had her on her toes for more than two hours because of near constant danger, restricted space, tough regional diplomatic stances one act of piracy and a second that even resulted in a vicious fight.

In a short pre-dock call with the IDF Vice President Everett Fontaine she had found out about a hotel that would fit their needs: calm, relaxed, a large spa, classy, and definitely discreet. What she was doing here was - in the strictest sense - insurance fraud, but as it was interwoven with the high risk insurance that the Guild kept for their black ops that Henderson was running off the regular books, it only needed a plausible explanation to go through.

"Haaaa... <exhaling> Oh... yeeeeaaahh" Julia utters when she exits the flying taxi that had taken the crew of three of the Falling Teardrop to the hotel. "... sh.... this is... even better than I thought." she comments and quickly comms the others who are also on their way here.

"Ye... totally worth it!" she comments, then calls Everett Fontaine. "... Monsieur... <horrible Gallic>... could you please... do the room... ehm... get them, you know... and... I'll see you in the lounge after I had a shower and... got into something more appropriate?" she suggests, then hops off the taxi without waiting for the answer.

This would be a nice treat after an insane flight and she was hell-bent on enjoying it. "Death can take everything from you... just not the joy you experienced. That will be forever yours." she quotes the famous line that justifies all her hedonistic pleasures, then grins to her crew members and nods: "Let's do this!"

Really Nídaros promptly answered the call of Leadership IMG| for a journey that, at first seemed to be very interesting: it was!

_ In the third system, called Honshu, faced with two pirates who pushed us to get what they wanted, finally.

_ Made a delivery of Nióbiun Ore in New Berlin with much anticipation and shock the heart to think about the dangers that possibly still was waiting for us along the way, as we were flying with Omicron Delta destination. Disturbing!!
_ Go back to Sigma 19 and from there we headed to Delta, but while the rest of the team was by a known route, I decided to explore a new route and that's what I did, having been going pretty well until the arrival in omicron Delta.
_ What was not my surprise when, upon arriving there, see also had gotten the same Pirates that have plagued us in Honshū. No more beating up on us bank account in 34 million of credits. Bunch of scoundrels!

_ When you get back, I lost my partner, which resulted in finding a new route to deliver the remains Gauls on Ile del France/Gállia, which also went very well, although the route I did was longer.
_ In fate, I refused to watch the suffering of those who lost their loved ones and along with friend IMG | ErOcioso, which was laggard along with me, we went back to our base in Taus.
_ Now, a bath, an excellent dinner and a well-deserved rest.
_ tomorrow I hope to be in a good mood, for, if any, live a new adventure!!
A hug to all who participated.
