Stripetail sighed as the manager left " if anything else happens we will be forced to leave the resort' He said getting to his feet. "I think it would be safer If we left of our own accord. " A hologram of Qwark flashed into the meeting " Hello, mR wizard. I .. ahem was just faxed a bill , for 1, 236, 769 bolts, for DAMAGES to the Jowai Resort Hotel . What kind of Kegger were you guys having, and why didnt you invite me?" It wasnt a party Qwark, a number of our group were kidnapped from their rooms, and a couple of the rooms were heavily damaged in the process." Geeez, thats not good. ' What do you know of Dreadzone?" Well, not much, it was underground gladiator sport that captured and used heroes in its arenas. But they never grabbed ME, so I sorta dismissed the whole thing as hogwash. " Well, it wasnt hogwash, and you're lucky they didnt grab you, as you very likely would have been killed. Many heroes were, a Captain starshield, for instance." Starshield was a good guy, Not quite as awesome as myself of course , but he was a good hero. " Are there any other resorts that we could stay at? I'm not demanding the 5 star treatment here, Just a nice place to relax
'Well, if you're into vice and gambling, the Maktar Resort is very nice. theres slots everywhere, even the bathrooms." I dont gamble Captain. just a means of playing on folks greed, you lose far more often than you win, after all.You are richer for not playing. "Your choice, they have a big tourist area and they even have one of those picture taking things that puts you into a gladiator suit. Its in the Bogon Galaxy. ' BOGON?' Stripetail's eyes narrowed. ' Gracious man, it would take us at least 2 weeks to get there, more likely a month, and I'm not spending all that time, just to spend 5-7 days at a place! Are there any other resorts in this galaxy? " none as fancy."

if i may " Cynder-W said " We dont have to leave" Stripetail turned and looked at her " we just stay in our rooms. that shouldnt cause any more trouble." Cynder we already have had two in out group dragged from their rooms. Staying in the rooms is just asking to be taken. Besides theres only so much holovision you can watch, and thats not what vacations are for anyway. " A group of Galactic Rangers in en route to provide increased security Qwark said. Folks will have to show their room key to use the hotel. They should be there in an hour or so. Any other questions?' The hologram asked turning to Carson.

Alright, We'll stay' Stripetail said , as he said this a fetching pink dragoness magicked herself into the room ' she wore a fine, blue uniform, with a large emblem of 4 stars surrounding a large planet in the middle near her right shoulder. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the group, her very dark red lips were set in a small smile. "Master Stripetail' She said in a commanding and proud voice. "Lady Utsa" Stripetail nodded ' So where is this group of yours that I will be liason to?' Some of them are here, others are not. ' Stripetail said. The others should be coming shortly. ' Lady Utsa , this is Captain Carson, the Hologram is President Qwark." Utsa nodded to carson " greetings Captain. lady Utsa of Dramos. At your service. President Qwark " Hello lady.. er Utsa. I'm sorry but I'm not that good with strange names ' Qwark said. Utsa shrugged. ' It happens."
"Dixie, Agumina, Gabuna, Tigeress, Stitch, Warfang and Skylands are part of your liason group. Stripetail said motioning to each one of his group, who bowed or nodded in Itsa's direction. " So you have some dragons in your team. Good, good. then the magics I will perform they'll take in stride, the rest of you will have to learn to be dragons." You'll have to be patient with them Utsa, this is something that will backfire terribly if it goes wrong. " i'm well aware , my Lord. I don;t take easy jobs as you know. So The rest of this group are primarily humans? ' No, there are dinos involved as well.' Well then I look forward to meeting them ' Utsa said sliding into a open seat ' Carry on with your meeting, I've interrupted it for long enough.
