The Drunken Salamander, Freeport 18

[Midori]

During a trip from Omega 49 to her home world of Honshu via the Omegas, Omicrons and Sigmas, Midori Holliday decided to take a break at the new Freeport. Docking her gunboat, she changed into one of her Kimonos and boarded the Freeport.

Some knew her, some did not but to all, she always had a smile and a friendly greeting. Finding a table, she seated herself near a window overlooking the gas cloud. She had seen it a thousand times but she still found it intriguing.
She wasn't particularly hungry this day but found it best to at least have a light meal. Accordingly, she ordered a small plate of sushi and a glass of Gallic Wine. As she waited, she sat quietly, outstretching her left hand, admiring the rings given to her by her husband that reflected the light overhead. It was times alone that she felt so lucky. But, with him so busy in his medical research, she decided to give him a couple of days to himself. Of course, her trips home were never empty as she returned to Gran Canaria with freshly caught fish.

So she sat quietly, gently smiling out the window, nursing her glass of wine as her food was prepared.
