Laura finished docking procedure with rented Hawk. Finally, after all delays and problems on the way here. She arrived to Freeport 1 in advance because she wanted to meet Concordia before the...date. Thinking about that word, she started to be nervous again, still unsure if what will happen today is good idea.

"This still can be canceled, right?" she thought and left the ship, looking over hangar bay for Concordia, hoping that there will be no problem to find each other.

One hour later she realized that this will be a problem. After hour of walking around the hangar and watching departing and mainly arriving ships and people who got out of them, apparently nobody of them was Concordia because all of them were men. She returned to her ship with plan to send a message to Concordia to arrange a meeting place. But when Laura opened her Neural Net message box, there was new message from her.

"Hey there sweethearts! I´m so sorry but I can´t make it to Freeport today. But you are still on the way there or you even already arrived. So why make these trips useless? You can meet without me, right? I know, you don´t know each other. So I make it easier for you and reserved a table in one of the restaurants here named Frozen Sun. I chose a symbolic table - number two. Reserved on fictional names Lily Sweet and Alejandro Corazon. Just for surprise. Have fun!"

Laura noticed that message has two recipients, but then tryed to catch her breath. "Dammit! No, I will definitely not go there alone!" she told for herself. Then she started to think about turning on ship engine but few moments later, she calmed down again and remained without a move in pilot´s seat for long minutes. And thought.

"So you will just run away and then lie that you had a malfunction on ship? That is totally pathetic! You can talk to Corsair who is pirating your ship and who is ready to kill you for bad word and still you can stay calm, but you can´t do the same at table in restaurant on safe Freeport? What can happen? If he will be ugly and boring, you can have some small conversation with him and then leave after thirty minutes. Or you made a trip across half of Sirius for nothing? Come on!"

She put the clothes that she chose earlier for this event on herself and put the makeup as best as she could. Then she took small handbag with few things including small eletric taser, locked the ship and went inside station. As she went through commercial zone, she sat down is some bar for twenty minutes to think about conversation topics. And also to drink a glass of wine to raise courage and calm down. Then she got an interesting idea...

When Laura found Frozen Sun, it turned out that it´s nice but also quite ordinary and not expensive or snobbish restaurant with view on Omega-3 sun.

"Hello, can I have a table despite I don´t have a reservation?" she asked waiter inside.
"Hello, of course, if there is not reservation on that table," he answered.
"Great, can I have number two, it is my favourite number. Which one is it?" Laura said according to her plan.
"It is the second one at the in the row with best view, but unfortunately I see that this one is reserved. Can I offer you table at the corner?" he answered.
"Sure, that one is good too," Laura answered when she checked that from this table she will have a good view on table number two. Then she ordered glass of wine and started to check every incomer, waiting who will sit at table number two...
