Thomas stopped and looked at the outside of Omega House, then over at Alexis, "Wow this is some kinda house, reminds me of the Palace of Versailles or some of the structures in Berlin that we studied in architecture class."  He walked up on the front porch and examined the columns, and stayed out of the way of people going in and out of the building.  He finally walked inside and was awe struck at the large rotunda, filled with people going into the different rooms on the first floor.  He looked at Alexis, "Well tour guide, lead the way to the bar to get us some refreshments."
