buildings that provided shade and respite from the direct heat of the sun. There was no respite from the </span></font><font color="#26282a" face="Helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;">arid atmosphere
that sucked the liquid from the body. Even if one was used to the Vulcan climate, unless you are prepared to be outside for extended times it can be </span></font><span style="font-size: 13px;">… uncomfortable. And that was where the observer was at. He
was feeling uncomfortable. Not that what he was doing was not uncomfortable enough.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Helvetica"><font color="#26282a" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 13px;">He had watched as the crew from the Illuminar had arrived, and he had followed them to the Nivar Institute. He had studied each of the crew </span></font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px;">with
a</span><font color="#000000" style="color: rgb(38, 40, 42);"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> discerning eye, making observations and mental notes. He noted the clothing, the build, and even the </span></font><span style="color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-size: 13px;">baggage</span><font color="#000000"><font color="#26282a"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> of
each of the people. Looking at the configuration of the group it was clear that they had entered the Institute with the Vulcan woman as the main concern. She was in the center of the group, and attention seemed to being paid to her. Seeing her created an </span></font><span style="font-size: 13px;">odd
tension in the observer.</span></font></font></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 40, 42); font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><font color="#26282a" face="Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Once they entered the building he could feel the tension release and he leaned against the wall which shaded him. Now he knew where they were. It was a matter of how log
they would stay. It was time to slake his thirst and he made his way to an establishment that could serve this purpose. He should be able to watch the exit of the building from that location.</span></font></div>
