The limo pulls slowly into the cavernous cargo bay joining the large car 
that is already there.

There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious out there. No cars 
following, no people trying to hide in shadows or anything like that.

"You want me to stay down here and keep lookout?" Ukanav asks, "Should I 
be armed?"

"Right!" he gives Lysia a quick growling grin showing he is in 
aggressive mode and slips the pistol into a pocket of his coveralls 
within easy reach, "Eyes and nose on alert." 

Lysia notes that the fur on Ukanav's neck and head has fluffed slightly 
from it's normally sleek appearance. He is excited and fully alert.

The driver has stepped out of the limo. He is an old man, probably in 
his 70's, but he looks fit, and the bulge under his left armpit is 
obvious under his black jacket.

He opens the door and Lady Ryobi steps out. Lysia has seen her on video, 
and a few times at functions, but has only met her once when she was a 
school girl and that was at some school function where she was 
introduced as Jac's aunt.

Lady Ryobi is a tall, slim, graceful looking woman with white hair cut 
in a bob. She looks the same to Lysia now as she did those many years 
ago...clearly past middle age, but not *old*. She is wearing a dark  
brown pantsuit over a light green flower print blouse.  She is holding a 
leather briefcase as she steps out, which she hands her driver.

"Look after this for me, Howard, if you please." she says.

"Yes madam." he replies taking the briefcase.

Turning to Lysia she says smiling, "Good morning, Lysia. You are looking 
well. If I may say so, much better than when you were just back from 
your time with the Zeristu."

She takes Lysia's hand and gives it a soft squeeze, "Are you adjusting? 
Is there anything I can do to help?"
