Lucia led the way to the rooms we had been assigned. The walls were dark blue and textured in a way that looked like it would be rough but felt smooth to the touch. The artificial stone floor was a mottled gray with wispy streaks. Lucia showed the humans the attached restroom and how to make the beds fold down out of the walls while Iris tried to initiate three conversations (1. "How strange it must be to meet new people after so long"; 2. "It must have been fascinating to explore this place when it was first found"; 3. "Are you interested in research into Pre–Corporation Rim cultures?") and then gave up. I could tell that even with Ratthi and Tarik trying to help she was starting to look desperate.
