1100-037 2300 – VES Conference Room Aboard the Azhanti High Lightning, in Orbit Above Djinni

2300 - 0100 - After another long (but successful) day, the VES members scatter for some much needed rest and relaxation:

• Madeline, Pinkie, and Soto return to their quarters and go to bed;
• Leah does some psionic training, and ultimately asks Count Quinlan for insights into the psionic training process;
• Alric, Elwin, Froge, Martaan, and Saeagang all head off for a well-deserved drink at the Officers' Club;
• Fitz and Ujilka go to the gym to exercise and wind up sparring on the matts— the match goes to Fitz, who shows Ujilka som unarmed combat techniques. After a quick shower, they too end up in joining the others in the Officers' Club for a drink.

As a treat, Martaan mixes a drink for his colleagues in the VES.

In the Officers' Club, the VES members are briefly joined by Marine Lieutenant Colonel Jordress Carth, who obliquely discusses the VES with them, and wishes them well.

After a round or two, one by one the VES members return to their quarters. Martaan cleans up, and is the last to leave. Everyone is asleep by 0100.
