"Journal entry Alpha-Seven"

"I'm back on-planet currently following the unprecedented attack on the Seventh Dawn. James has given me extended holiday leave to recover and rest. But if I must be honest, I just want to keep working."

You gently rest your hands on the keyboard, before continuing.

"I feel a bit silly. I acted very immature in front of Winter. And I was blatantly rude. I should apologise, but I can't exactly think of a professional way to do it. I guess I have to wait till we're allowed back on the station."

The electric blinds on your windows automatically start opening, spilling in the pale sun of Atlas and putting a glare on your terminal monitor.

"I suppose I will use the time to go see things. I've never actually had the chance to see Atlas before. And James mentioned that I would have someone coming to guide me. Some huntress in training. Either way, it should be interesting."

As you finish up your digital journal log, your scroll buzzes. You answer with a tap on the display.

Cole- Cole Rose speaking.

Penny- SAL-U-TATIONS!! I am Penny! And I am the one who is here to show you around Atlas!

Her energetic tone shocks you for a moment, before you recover and pick up the scroll.

Cole- Oh. Well, I look forward to meeting you. Are you far?

Penny- I am currently waiting for you in the lobby, sir!

She called me sir. Yikes, that feels weird.

Cole- Well, I'll be down in a couple minutes. See you soon.

Penny- Alright then!

She hangs up and you get dressed into a good set of Atlesian tailored clothes. Which were on your chair this morning.

Must have been James who sent them.

After getting dressed, you leave your apartment and take the elevator to the hotel lobby. There, you spot a ginger girl in an old-fashioned white blouse and grey pinafore dress.

Cole- Are you... Penny?

She turns and gives a huge grin.

Penny- Hello Cole Rose! I am Penny!

You put out your hand to shake, and she takes it.

Penny- It is a pleasure to meet you, sir!

She keeps shaking, very violently.

Cole- It's uh, nice to meet you too. You-you can let go now.

She does so and giggles.

Penny- What would you like to see first today, sir!?

Cole- Uhm... perhaps we could just go for a general tour of the city? You're the guide, after all.

Penny- Yes sir!

A few hours later

Penny- And that concludes the tour of the amazing city of Atlas! I hope you liked it, sir!

You kick back each leg to stretch them, and nod.

Cole- It's a lovely city. Quite pricey, though.

Penny- It is. Atlas' goods and luxuries are the most sought after in all of Remnant, meaning it is indeed more expensive than lower quality versions that other kingdoms use. Would you like to see anything else, sir?
