{Zaris Three}

Commander O'Connell and Denor walked along the city talking as Denor would point out different factories and Shoppes which made everything from expensive fabrics to mechanical devices.

"Well you certainly do have a lot of different items to offer the Federation; many of which I think would be well received by other planets" he commented being quite surprised at what he had seen.

As the two rounded a corner Denor stopped "And you haven't tried one of the best things about our planet...the food" he stated as the two walked into this open front Eatery. They walked up to a long bar as Denor nodded to the Chef "We would like the variety platter and some of your finest wine" he stated, then looking at Jamie "You have to try our wine...it's quite delicious."

Jamie took a sip of wine "This is very good wine and it's so smooth" he stated with a smile.

"Glad you like it Commander, but wait until you taste the food" Denor replied.

Soon the food arrived as Denor explained what each item was so Jamie dug in "Wow this food is exceptional, to say the least" he commented .

"We can export any beverage or food to whatever planet wants it" he explained. After some pleasant conversation the food and wine was gone and the two went on their way.

They walked by a building that had, what looked like, a heavy iron door with bars over the window. Jamie stopped and looking at Denor "What's this place" he queried as he could see Denor getting nervous at the question.

"Well it's nothing really.....certainly nothing for you to be concerned about" he stated as he looked up the street.

O'Connell didn't say a word but walked up to the door when he heard people yelling deep inside the building.

By this time Denor caught up to Jamie "I don't mean to be rude but this is really none of your concern Commander" he stated matter of factly.

Jamie knew what he had heard but decided not to press the issue and would get to the bottom of this another, less diplomatic way. The Commander smiled "My apologies Denor, I didn't mean to pry" he answered "So now where to."

Denor relaxed as the two continued on their way as Jamie made a mental note of the location of the building.

After a few more hours Jamie had seen quite enough "Thank you Denor for lunch and the tour; your Governor is correct, you do have a lot to offer the Federation. I'll be sure to give the Commodore a full report on what I've seen here today" he commented.

"Thank you Commander that is all we can ask for" he replied "Now if you'll excuse me there are a couple of matters that need my attention."

"And I need to get back to the Amandora too" Jamie replied with a smile.

After the two parted ways O'Connell tapped his Comm "This is O'Connell I'm ready to return to the Ship." and moments later he was gone.

{Amandora}

When the Commander materialized on the Pads he walked off knowing that he would have to see the Commodore soon to let her know what he saw and suspected on Zaris Three.
