The meek little clerk sketches a quick bow.<br/><br/>"Many apologies.  My esteemed employer's sense of humor has a slight case of paranoia.  Please, come aboard quickly and I will show you to your staterooms.  We are in some haste."<br/><br/>Once everyone is past the iris door, she slams it shut and hurriedly leads the way down the gantry and in through the airlock, which the little lilac-point Siamese also secures firmly.  While she does so, you all get a chance to look around, and three words come immediately to mind: lots of money!  This is possibly the newest, most cleanly designed ship any of you have ever been on.<br/><br/>"Welcome on board Zhao Sanshichi.  The owner will speak to you later...indelicate and impolite, but at the moment also sadly necessary.  Your staterooms are this way."<br/><br/>'This way' is a small common room with four doors, each one leading to a small stateroom.<br/><br/>"Choose any one you like.  Oh, and please prepare for immediate departure.  We will compensate you for any additional inconvenience once it is safe to do so."<br/><br/>She bows again.
