Just then, another Venasian patrol appeared, this time with a very authoritative military officer in the lead. She appeared to be the typical Venasian - dark haired, pale white skin, blue eyes with gold flecks - except that she was tall for a Venasian woman (who were usually small and petite.) TALL. And broad-shouldered, like some aquatic Amazonian warrior. Something didn't seem quite normal about her physical appearance, but she might have been considered beautiful - had she not appeared about as approachable as an arctic wolf. The badge on her uniform indicated she was a Mora'sai (commander) in the Venasian fleet. "I am Commander R'saran," she told them. The universal translator remained off; she was speaking in Standard. "I understand you are having some difficulty returning to your hotel. Allow me to escort you safely back." "That will not be necessary, Commander R'saran. We know the way back, and we are nto heading straight back. There is a market that we are going to first. We do not wish to take you away from your duties." ***** Chris GM- SPD & JSOC
