Re: Encounter On Alzenei
Jothan and his luggage were loaded into the open-topped air/raft. Bags went in the far back, Jothan and Linus in the rear seat and Black and Ollie in the front.
Back at the ship, Thomas didn't see anything suspicious at the Starport. A 400-ton trader came in for a landing a ways away. It was automatically caught and lowered onto a landing pad by the Starport's tractor-repulsor field array.
At the University, they landed and parked a few blocks away from the office block which contained Lorain's lab and office. They walked along a lit pathway (the pavement itself being the source of light) without incidence. The front door was locked because it was now fairly late, but Talia used her access card to enter. Lorain's office was on the 2nd floor, and Talia led them up a side stairs. Midway down the hall were the doors marked "Lorain Messandi, PhD" and that of her assistant.
