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.

...Waitaminute. That's no mission.

It's a goddamn vacation.

"It's been a while since I was last in a major fight," Tenaya added. "Wouldn't mind to keep that streak." And the last time she'd been to a beach, it was a fight there too. She needed some kind of new frame of reference.

"I hope you maintain it," he agreed easily. The planet was being watched over, right? An Ohm attack was not what they needed right now. He'd eventually gotten the hang of fighting the lower beasts in training, but more work needed to be done.

"So what's your plan?" she asked. "Stock up, or try to relax?" Yes, that was a note of smugness, but all in jest.

"I'd prefer to focus on the former, but I have friends who will insist that I partake in the latter. What about you?"

Yes, he noticed that. And he'll let it pass without comment. Most everyone's happy about shore leave.

Tenaya shrugged. "Probably pick up some clothes and actual food, maybe check out the beach. It's the first time I've really been to one." That wasn't recovering from a nuclear holocaust, at any rate, but Billy didn't need to know that little detail.
