Fort Hanako, Hanako's World
After repairs and a long period of relatively boring patrols, Eucharis was finally back at its home port on the world discovered by her captain. A buzzing tourism and agricultural hotspot, Hanako's World was an ocean planet with perpetual warm and pleasant days, crystal-clear blue waters, lush green mountains and vast white beaches. It was also the home of the First Expeditionary Fleet, which mean the crew got to visit regularly to enjoy wet days and hot nights (or vica versa) at the resorts.
It had been about a year since the ship and her crew had returned home. At that time, they had just escaped the Essai Dreamworld, rescuing a Chelti named Haka from there and rescuing Sienna from the squalid independent colony of Urtullan. The governor had come out to greet them with a marching band, and promotions were awarded. First Officer Jalen Sune had hosted a dinner at the Princess Dunes restaurant in the Ketsurui Resort Hotel.
The Eucharis slowly came to rest just outside the ship's hangar, a large concrete dock with an arched roof located off to the side of the Fort Hanako's spaceport. In the distance there were shuttles, fighters, and bombers taxiing around flying through the air making delivery and conducting training operations. The weather was 24 C (75 F) with a moderate and constant breeze that would steal your hat if you it was worn too loosely. Local time was around 10 am.
Once the ship was it the proper parking spot, Hanako had Natsumi cut power to the engines and most of the other systems on the ship, which left the ship unusually quiet inside. She grabbed the center console's phone and dialed the intercom. "Attention crew! We have arrived in paradise! Liberty for everyone! You are free to leave the ship. For stock cargo issues, see Victory and for new item requests, see Mitsuko. Mitsuko can also get free barracks or hotel rooms for anyone who wants one. Also do not forget that in a couple days we will have our year-end holiday party and gift exchange. There are a few new things that you should know about. Fort Hanako now has train service to a new shopping district called Shinjuku, and also to the PAINT system, which is mass-transportation to other planets. So you can actually visit other worlds if you want. If you're planning to go off-planet, see me for permission first. I also recommend you use the buddy system for safety, although I'm not going to require it this time. If anyone else has any questions, ask me. That is all."
Down in the cargo bay, Victory opened the rear cargo ramp, which groaned loudly until it hit the concrete tarmac with a metallic thump.
