F-229-Lia: Mundo Zargo Downport

Lia travels down to the planet on a commuter shuttle, the trip taking about three tasks.   

She disembarks at the Downport and makes her way to the transport hub, perhaps resisting the urge to stop at a jewellery shop.  Many of the shuttle passengers head for the train into the city, about  two hundred kilometers from the Downport, or to the travel pod station to travel to the Port Town that has grown up outside the Downport.  A few move to the commercial taxi services. Lia, along with two others heads through the Legion-secured barrier to the VIP transport area.

Having tagged her through, the Legionnaire on the security gate directs her toward a woman about her own age in a Vizant’s uniform.

“Mer Silver-Rose, this way.”

She is led to a sleek-lined, purple-painted hybridyne craft, where steps are folded down for access to a luxurious cream-coloured interior with club-style seating for eight.  

She is the only one aboard.

The Vizant points out the mini-bar, entertainment and communication facilities, and ensures her seatbelt is secured before moving forward to the cockpit and sealing the privacy door    

The Vizant checks she’s ready, warns her she’ll be in zero-gravity for take-off and landing.

Purple-and-gold warning lights illuminate the pad outside, and the craft rises slowly, vertically into the sky, passing through a giant airlock on the way through.  Though it’s nearly breakfast time by Lia’s internal clock the star has just set  on the Downport and the sky is full of stars.

The pilot says that trip will be a couple of Tasks.  Does Lia wish to do anything on the way?
