== For Talion ==
As the door to the building was still unlocked, Talion was able to proceed inside without any trouble. The atmosphere inside was calm, contrasting the turmoil that had just erupted outside. The dim light of the entryway was enhanced by the flickering glow of a holographic fireplace.
The building was five floors tall and was divided into about a dozen apartment units. A directory near the entrance indicated that the Weisbrantz family lived on the fifth floor. A synthetic wood staircase led Talion upwards. As he approached the landing, the door to Jonas’s unit slid open, where a pale-skinned Riani appeared in the doorway. He was about as tall as Talion, but something about his posture made him seem significantly smaller. Having seen the ambassador’s mind, Talion was able to easily recognize this as Jonas’s partner.
“I heard something outside,” he said, almost out of breath. “Is everything alright?” His eyes were searching Talion for answers. Even without an empathic connection, it was readily apparent that this person knew the answer to their own question on some level.
== For all ==
The padd that the ambassador had given the team flashed to life as it interfaced with Aquila’s transporter. On its screen, the three moons of Riani formed a tranquil design behind the ornate structure of the hotel. The away team was authorized to transport to the reception area of the Three Sisters Hotel when ready.
