Gina was nervous as she looked in the mirror, the new med bed had done wonders for the radiation burns on her face and body. It had been a long time she had dared to look in the mirror. Zak and the crew had been good to her since coming on board, now she would really be able to earn her keep. The meeting with the Moog would be the first visit to her mother's world but more importantly, her command of the language added leverage to the huge deal pending. What made her nervous was that the fate of an entire planet lay in the balance. First they would assay the Azurite and then cut and test it for purity. In a few hours they would be at Moog Station Two and it would begin. Station Two was little known and did no outside business being more of a science and research facility. On the bridge of Panther a hail came in from the station.

“Attention Panther, you are clear for approach. A docking assignment will be transmitted shortly. If we find any other ships in the area we will give you a vector to follow.”

This hail was given in Moog. While the hail was translated by the computer on Panther, Zak replied in Moog.

“We look forward to meeting with you, Captain Jahns, out.”

Gina had just stepped onto the bridge during the exchange and said.

“Captain, your language is improving but still needs lots of work.”

There were a few chuckles around the bridge at Gina's statement but Zak just shrugged his shoulders. The Moog language was hard to learn as it was so much different than Commons or Cyrillium. For Gina it was easy as she grew up with it and instead had a real hard time learning Cyrillium. Gina had easily picked up hegmon along the way as well as an intense engineering education compliments of Uhr and Dihr. Everything was quiet as they approached the station that was shaped a cube so dark it was almost lost among the stars. The bay they landed in was spacious and had air and gravity. It was a treat to be able to walk off the ship without a suit and stumbling through a docking tube. Junes would remain on the bridge while Zak and Gina along with the case on a gravity lift, left to meet their hosts. Two people were waiting.

“Welcome to our station, let us get your samples to our lab and then we will have some refreshment while we wait.”

It did not take long to reach the floor with the labs and Gina asked if they would record the process so they could review it later. The was delivered in perfect Moog, slightly accented. This impressed their hosts immensely and he said so. For Zak things were a bit awkward as the ceilings were barely above his head and he had to duck through the doors. While Gina was not much taller then their host Zak towered over them all.
