Shore Leave!

Suddenly, the usual relative peace of the ship is disrupted by a rather loud announcement from Stacy.

||Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention. All personnel please report to the Observation Deck. Attention, Attention, all personnel...||

It's entirely likely that she won't stop repeating the announcement until, well, everyone reports to Obs Deck. The mouth in the huge statue on the wall opens, revealing a screen. On it, the dossier for the mission flickers into display, understandable to every person there. Smaller copies of the dossier appear in holographic form in front of everyone.

The planet's stats, right next to a rotating picture of it, blue with thousands of small islands just barely visible, are as follows:

Planet Designation: Zokez II
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Extensive flora and fauna.
Semi-Sentient Life: Yes.
Sentient Life: Various species of intelligent life, including Homo Sapiens.
Water: 96% of the planet's surface.

Climate: Similar to Earth's tropical island regions. [Click here for cultural equivalents for non-Earth cultures.]
Landscape: All land is in the form of tropical islands. A large portion of this land is highly developed for commercial use by resorts and other entertainment industries.
Air: Normoxic concentration: 28% oxygen, 62% nitrogen, 5% xenon, 5% trace gases, such as hydrogen, krypton, and argon.

Air Pressure: 14.543 pounds per square inch.

It's a goddamn vacation.

Axl, being some kind of a master at being underfoot, is right there and peering over his shoulder at the list.

"Isn't the idea of a vacation to stop working?"

Wedge glances at Axl with a wry grin.

"It is. But I figured I could get some stuff we could use. You know, seed veggies, some real food, canned though it might be. Furniture. Caf and a caf machine. Little things that would life on board a bit easier." He taps a few buttons and sends a file to Axl's omnicomm.

"In fact, I'd be grateful if you wouldn't picking up a few things for the squadron. You don't have to if you'd rather spend your money on other things, naturally. I'm not going to tell you how to spend your vacation."

Axl shakes his head for a moment. Can't even stop working on vacation. Stop reminding him of X, Wedge!

"Hey, back home I was the 17th Unit Elite's leading expert on comfy couches. I might as well use my powers for the forces of good."

Wedge doesn't stop. Ever.

"In that case I may enlist your help in finding a few couches for the pilot lounge back at HQ. It's pretty devoid of lounge things at the moment..." Wedge grins.

"What do you say?"

Axl grins and throws him a salute. "Yes sir."

Look out, Wedge. He always jumps on the beds in furniture stores.
