The Zoner Conference

[Gytrash]

James stirred in his bed as his personal alarm went off, the strident tones indicating that it was the start of another beautiful day on Freeport XV, as well as Gran Canaria. As he lay there wishing that he had the power to destroy the alarm with his mind he pondered the practicalities of synchronising his sleep rhythm to the day-night cycle of Gran Canaria. It did, however, come in handy to have one's sleep rhythm attuned to the largest city on the only planet where one really did any business and so he supposed he would have to deal with it.

Dragging himself at last from his pondering of the nature of alarms and synchronised timepieces, James shambled over to the stimulant dispenser for his morning caffeine shot, much more bracing than any coffee. Having braced himself somewhat for the day he made his way over to check on what had happened since he had last logged into the terminal.

Brushing past yet another report about that damnable Horde of Terrorists he saw, floating in the background of his holographic display, his invite to the estate of Mr. Doc Holliday. James Leisurely brought the invitation to the foreground and began to reread it. It was at this point that he was glad that he did not drink coffee for the revelation that he had to be halfway across Sirius in time for the next day would likely have ended with coffee all over his desk.

Rushing himself through a quick shower and flipping the sign on his door to read "All enquiries through Fluttershy" he ran towards his Osprey, a lovely little craft that one. Fast, sleek and manoeuvrable he silently blessed the designer while he shot off into space. Thankfully for James he encountered almost no-one as he raced towards Gran Canaria and Tombstone Estate.

Arriving into orbit and espying the bulk of the Glorious Advance in low orbit he made his way to the docking ring and landed with little incident. He set his craft down next to a similar one and exited, being sure to straighten the tie of his all black business suit before walking towards the nearby house.
