"The Lambert House" is a small compound on Planet Denver. It sits roughly eight miles from the town of Brookside, a small town of about a thousand that sits several hundred miles from Crichton Springs. Brookside is small and simple, and downtown consists of a few small stores, a school, and two bars. The surrounding countryside is pristine, unspoiled alpine wilderness.

The Lambert House

The house sits on a wooded hill overlooking the town in the valley below. It is new construction, a fusion of classic and modern designs. It sits on two acres of property, all fenced in and monitored by advanced security systems. There is a small landing pad and hanger near the house, offering direct access to small spacecraft. However, a small installation of surface-to-air missiles sits by the hanger, watching the sky for potential intruders.

All of this security was originally put into place by the previous owner, a paranoid Cryer executive who used the house as a private retreat. The interior is suitably comfortable, featuring advanced climate control systems, computer control options, and all the other conveniences of modern life.

The layout is fairly simple, with a large living area, large kitchen, and two guest bedrooms on the bottom floor, and a large master suite on the second floor in the "loft".

James Lambert, a Navy primary fleet officer with a small self-made fortune recently purchased the home from repossession, after the Cryer executive who previously owned it disappeared from Liberty. The house was purchased with most of the existing furniture intact, but has already seen some redecoration. The girl Pita, Lambert's ward of-sorts, lives in one of the downstairs rooms while Lambert lives upstairs. The girl stays at the house most of the time, for she isn't currently enrolled in school and only rarely joins Lambert in space.

Visitors to the house are welcome so long as they're known to Lambert and have been personally approved ahead of time. Any unscheduled visitors run the risk of injury or death from the automated security systems, as the signs ringing the property clearly state.
