The " Star Pool " is magnificent, sitting on top of the liner there is a completely translucent donut shaped plateau, with something like a "pit" in the middle covered by a glass dome.
The decoration is mostly on the walls of the pit, there huge mirrors are side by side with ceiling high curtains. The floor has a rough map of Sirian stars made by gold.
On the "dining donut" small niches are set apart by curtains lined to the glass ceiling and light comes from candles and the stars only. in between the niches some regular tables are scattered here and there. The atmosphere in the dining area is quiet in a warm way, there is soft music played by a small band and the waiters hush by almost unseen.
The concierge takes Brisbane over to one of the veiled off separées, two hulking brutes sit on a table "accidentally" placed in front of the direct entrance. Both look really out of placed, dressed in fine smokings but every visible inch of skin is either scarred or tatooed and the way too big golden rings look more like brass knuckles than anything else.
If Brisbane looks to the side he sees the concierge already disappeared, leaving him alone.
"Senor Brisbane? one of them states more then asks, then the other one gets up opening the veil, gesturing Brisbane inside " Senor, per favor..." They sound rough and guttoral, obviously trying to be as polite as possible.
Inside Brisbane finds Trueno, simply but elegantly dressed for the ocassion.
On a table lined with comfortable chairs sits a bottle and two weird looking shot sized glasses.
"Señor Brisbane! Buenos noches and welcome - i am glad you could make it to this unplanned meeting!"
He gestures Brisbane to take a seat, then continues "But, unplanned things develop into the best after all,si? Tell me - el Commandante had no time to explain his business with you, what kind of Artifacts are you after? No matter which, you contacted the right familia for this!"
Trueno takes up the bottle and pours two glasses, putting one in front of Brisbane "Perdon my manners, let us drink first si - finest maldava cloud rum, from our own production! The distillate of the Omicrons! Salud - on the Empire and bueno business!"
