Planetform Boardroom

[SothaSil]

The Anki approached Canterbury station; Preston was looking out of the window, thinking about how that first meeting would be. He was still deep in his thoughts when the pilot told him that the ship has been docked and he could leave now.
Preston opened the ship's door and moved through the airlock. When he looked on his watch he noticed that he is a bit to late and started to move faster; he didn't want to screw his first impression on the others.
He arrived at the boardroom, adjusted his tie and took a deep breath. He heard someone inside the room asking if 'they' have to wait for anyone else.
He knocked and entered the room.
"Yes, I was still missing. Good day gentlemen, I'm John Preston. It's a pleasure to finally meet you all", he looked at the person inside this room, moved around the table to a place with a small signboard and the inscription 'Internal affairs'.
He sat down and looked confidently at the others: "Please excuse my delay, a trade lane was disrupted.", he paused for a moment, "Anyway, let's get to work."
