Mission: The Archan Job
Location: The Dive :: SB332

Samanthia turned on the TV Monitor, then paused before she switched channels to a sports channel, to watched and listen to the short blurb of news on the Dive's TV Monitor. Curious she watched as a few of the patrons of the The Dive, yelled to have the channel changed.

"Artrex Gala Event of the Year is something everyone, whose who, looks forward to as Mr Artrex is a major Industrialist with interest both on planet and off. He's even hinted at that he was going to show off his private art collection during the event he is holding at his southern coastal estates."

The picture changed to show a vast sprawling palatial mansion spread out over several acres. Pools were tucked in open ended courtyards that would give the view of a mountain range or sandy beaches of the ocean. An airstrip that could accommodate a lot of airships to include space shuttles with attended hangers if needed for the privacy of guest arriving.

"He had sponsored a lot of the current batch of upcoming politicians, actors and various artists. Invested in Archia University funding of projects; in both buildings and projects that took some of our esteemed professors on work projects outside of campus. He gave out a bunch of deserving scholarships to a lot of people that couldn't have afforded to attend prestigious schools of higher learning.

We've also heard that several Off-Worlders were invited to participate in the event. Akiashiro's of the Akiashiro Interstellar Shipping, Hermonman of Industrial Grade Gems that are used in a lot of electronics and surgical lasers. Rewo'El, Ambassador from Ritorian Embassy, who is on a diplomatic tour of Federation of Planets to promote good will between the two vast Star Empires. "

As the names were mentioned a brief picture was shown while the news spokesperson rattled off the names.

"We asked Mr. Artrex if he was going to have the Starbase Commander to attend the event."

The view switched to one of the many steel and glass skyscrapers street level front entrance. Showing Mr. Artrex being surround by reporters from different news affiliates.

His reply was, "It would make the Ritorian Ambassador feel uneasy and spied upon by Federation Officials as Starbase 332 is in a strategic location and its presence makes the Ritorian Hegemony nervous as is. I'm helping to promote goodwill between our ways of life and to give Ambassador Rewo'El time to relax amongst, hopefully, new future friends." As he was getting into his luxurious limo, "I'll make it up to Starfleet at Planetary Founders Day." And quickly got into his limo which promptly pulled away into traffic.

"And on to the lat..."

Samanthia switched the channel to the sports channel. A local planetary high powered vehicles race which a lot of patrons had bets riding on. She moved on out from behind the bar, giving Zeb a pat on the shoulder as she passed by him. He nodded as he whispered. "Natives were getting a bit restless."

"I heard 'em." Samanthia spoke back over her shoulder. "Only thing they missed was a lot of pre-race commentaries they've heard before and know by heart their favorite driver and what they can do." Giving a smile as the yells turned into cheers for their favorite driver. She knew none of the patron would resort to violence. Just venting impatience fueled by alcohol.
