Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Upon his arrival to the Sirius sector, Dr. John Henry Holliday had spent considerable time travelling the systems, exploring planets, races, the many clans of the sector and studying old history to catch up on what he had missed since the old Earth date of November, 1887.

Today was no different. It was a perfect day on the Canaria surface and Doc was sitting on a couch in his morning attire, drinking a mug of coffee and reviewing files and history on his com screen. While most homes were highly modernized, Doc's estate house was much a combination of old Earth western ranch style and the many modern conveniences of the day. He had his own landing pad for both his ships, his Borderworlds DL freighter that had served him so faithfully and had brought him his wealth and his luxury yacht which he used for those diplomatic missions he found himself doing more and more of. He even kept a swimming pool for guests that had a retractable roof for use in all weather conditions and of course, he kept shooting ranges to keep sharp.

Away from the house itself was about 500 acres of land, some of it field and some of it woodland. It would remain unspoiled and a safe haven for the many plants and animals of Canaria as well as a small assortment of Gaian wildlife that was brought in to make home there. His "horse" was really a local animal that was as much kept in captivity as it was wild, a Canarian Caballus. A herd of them, in fact, had made his ranch their home.

A short distance from his estate house was also a small temple to the goddess Eris, whom he had accepted into his life. Before Sirius, he never had been a man of faith but after receiving a second chance at life, he figured, "Well, someone is responsible." Besides, chaos and discord was, in the past, a good way to describe his life.
