Re: SPD: Lookin' around the boardwalk

[LunarHunk]

The patrol had not yet drawn their weapons, which was a good sign.� Bad
news, they were not looking happy.

� "This is a restricted area.� Identify yourself and state your business
here." one said by way of ordering.

"Thank the heavens you are here," she replied.� "I am so lost!� I am
visiting Pacifica and decided to take a walk along the boardwalk here, which
I have to say is quite beautiful.� Anyway,� I was just walking around
looking at the beautiful horizon and your lovely building when I realized
that I am completely lost.� Do you think you kindly folk could help me out?"
She could only hope that the two guards would believe she was a tourist ...
at least as long as it took Dais and Lasiter to get a little closer.

Without pause a reply came, "You are in a restricted area.� This area is
property of the Venasian Government.� Please state your name, and where on
Pacifica you are from."� The guard was very stern, somewhat condesending,
but not overly aggressive.� Although, it could quickly go that way.� He was
trying to determine where she was from so he could have her story checked
out.� They had been warned about 'foriegners'.

"Oh, I am so sorry.  I did not realize that it was a restricted area.  Could you just point me back in the direction of the Venaisian government building?  I had a meeting with one of your officials.  My hotel is not far away.  If I could get back there, then I should be able to find my way back to the hotel.  You sure do have a lovely planet."  Audra could only hope her sniveling would hold up enough until the others got there or they let her go.
