(Earth, Shadow Pines – Main Hall – ACONN Alexander Dyson – 1720)

Alex was glad to follow the butler out of the room and into the main hall. ~Let’s hope things go a bit smoother from here on out.~ But then again, today was one of those days that everything was bumpy. ~Good luck explaining this one, doctor.~ If he had been her boyfriend, he would be really unhappy about this whole mess. The butler ended his pondering.

 “This is the central location.  If you look to the south, there are doors that take you to the pool deck and outdoor area.  There is also a walk to the private beach.  The pool is heated however the ocean is not.  The average temperature of the water this time of year is around 2 to 4 degrees Celsius.”

“Chilly,” Alex said, while calculating in his head that the temperature Benson had mention were 36 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit.

“And now if you look to the North, you will see the preferred way to enter and exit Shadow Pines.  We call it the front door.” 

“Understood.”

“Now if you come with me, I will take you to your room, we will be going upstairs.” 

Alex simply nodded and followed Benson up the stairs, while a servant took his bag. ~While, at least it’s not heavy.~ All he had packed was his small collection of civilian and a book. The butler let the way to an ancient looking door. ~This place has probably been around since World War Three or far before.~ There had once been a Dyson farm in Australia, but it had been sold long before Alex had been born.  

“Mr. Dyson this is your room.”  Benson opened the door. “It opens in a common balcony on the side of the Atlantic ocean.  It also had its own adjacent bathroom.”

“Whoa !” This room was bigger then his quarters on the ship.

“Dinner will be served poolside this evening,”  Benson said. “Feel free to explore though I do ask that you stay out of the bedrooms.”

“Understood,” Alex said. “And thank you.”

Alex walked into the room and closed the door behind him. He opened his bag and picked a set of clothing. As he took off his uniform and replaced it with the T-shirt and jeans he had selected, he wondered how much weirder this day could get. ~I wonder if I can get my uniform washed here.~ He finished changing and opened the door.

“Mister Benson, can I get my uniform washed, dried and ironed, please ?”

(Reply Benson DuBois)

Alex nodded. He had picked white jeans and white T-shirt. “Also, is there some place nearby where I can get a white jacket and some white sneakers to complete the look ?”

(Reply Benson DuBois)

It was at this point that there was a knock at the front door.
