[Nodoka Hanamura]

The group approaches a door labeled "Conference Room A". Honya slides the keycard from below into a reader. A Electronic two-tone beep is heard, followed by the click of the door unlocking. The door then slides open, revealing the room in all its' glory.

The room is spacious, with displays at every seat. The Sun of Omicron delta lights the room, shielded by the windows. Nodoka sits at the head of the conference room, wearing a Kimono similar to that of Honya's, yet in a teal-blue scheme. She pulls away from the tablet to greet everyone. "Please, everyone. Have a seat." She says, beckoning them inside. "I know many of you are waiting for a briefing on the situation, but I would like to show you a token of my appreciation. As such, I have some of the station's finest chefs cook up a meal for all of us to partake in as we get to know each other, as I'm certain that there are people here that are curious about each other." She says, as a group of finely dressed men and women in white outfits proceed into the room. carrying food on their trays. "Ladies and gentlemen, a simple, yet delicious staple of Old Earth Japanese, now Kusari - cuisine, Beef Yakisoba and, to complement it, a hybrid of Libertonian and Kusarian tastes, Tuna-Cream Cheese sushi. I Hope you enjoy it before we begin discussing the topic at hand." Nodoka says, as she bows to the group. Honya and Bride proceed to sit down adjacent to Nodoka at the table. One by one, the food is laid out with speed and precision before the group as they approach the table.
