While Mira is out shopping her comm rings. "Mira?" Jac's voice comes over the comm when she answers, "Mira, I've been thinking about all of this and I made a couple of calls to members of my club and asked a few discreet questions." "Anyway, I found out that Geoffrey, Lord Hayes, is hosting a party tonight at his country estate outside the city. It's a big charity affair and I *know* I could get invitations for any, or all, of us." Jac says, "Are you up to a party this evening?" "If Geof is involved in this, it might be useful for some of you to actually met him." Jac says. "OTOH, if he we were to prove that he *is* involved in this, I might shoot the bastard on sight!" he stops and draws a breath, "Sorry, for my language, but murder and treason make me a bit upset." "Do you think I should mention it to Captain O'Brien?" Eris AKU GM

"Given our propensity as a group to get in trouble?" She asks in a teasing voice, "Certainly you should. At the very least, you and I can attend. How dressy?" Mira

It's the Prada Charity Ball, one of the biggest events of the year. Ballroom dancing, social chit chat, mingling with the rich and powerful...that sort of thing. I should think the crew's dress uniforms would do for the men, the Space Patrol and Navy officers will be in uniform, but *all* the women will be in formal gowns, I should think." Eris AKU GM

She smiles, "Lovely. Definitely suggest that Ricardo should attend with one of our lovely cousins on his arm. I'd love to see him forced to wear a tux." Mira mentally adjusts to having to go find a formal gown suitable to being seen on Jac's arm. She sighs. Her bank account was going to take a serious hit. Mira

Ok, and she had the right shoes, not that shoes *should* be worn with the gown, but some concessions could be made. She didn't need anything else, except well styled hair, makeup and such. She wanders over to the mall directory term and looks for a full service salon. She selects shampoo, trim and style, facial, manicure, pedicure and makeup. With a rare fit of self-indulgence, she selects a full hour massage. If she was going to be pampered, she might as well go all out. Mira

"Jamie and Jessica's Salon" jumps out at Mira for some reason and she is able to schedule an appointment for a complete *do* this afternoon. Mira will be tied up in her full treatment for most of the afternoon. Her plants and other supplies will be delivered to the ship, and will arrive before she does. Eris AKU GM

Mira has the full treatment, and is feeling like a million credits as she leaves the salon. Back aboard the ship, she heads for Jac's cabin as she approaches she hears... > Jac says, "So do we try the ruse to get a look at the boarding > videos, or do we just go with what appears to be the obvious choice > of Serbia and lift for there?" Looking around the door frame she sees Jac leaning back at his desk. Ricardo is perched on one corner of the desk. Woof and Cory are also standing inside the room. The four men appear to be planning something. "Mira!" Jac exclaims leaning forward and smiling broadly, "You look....fantastic!" Eris AKU GM

Mira's smile radiates the pleasure from his words, "Thank you, Jac. I had a rather pleasant afternoon." "The four of you look to be up to no good. What are you plotting?" Mira

It's a folding chair that he takes off the wall, but it's a chair none the less. "Captain, have you given any more thought to who you're going to be escorting to the ball tonight?" Jac asks but he's looking at Mira. Eris AKU

Does she feel left out because she wasn't introduced? Does she feel angry that Jac got Mira a chair and didn't get her one? We wait with baited breath to find out. OOC: Sorry I forgot you Hope.
