Suddenly, the usual relative peace of the ship is disrupted by a rather loud announcement from Stacy.

"Oh, joy. Another mission. Who do we save this time - the spirit of FLAG DAY?" he griped as he marched in. As he began reading the mission plans, his eyes went wide.
"Wait a second... 'shore leave?'"

||Thank you for coming, everyone.||
||I know you all are anxious as to why I've called you here. Due to recent events, including the incident with the creature from the area known as "escherville", I have decided that some shore leave is in order, and since we've just reached a resort-planet supervised by the Greater Dimensional Alliance, I believed that now was an appropriate time for it.||
||I know it won't entirely make up for all the things many of you have been through lately, but I hope it helps.||
||I've taken the liberty of stowing some civilian transportation vehicles into the Obs-Deck pod, so that you may travel and transport goods that you may purchase. You have each also been granted an amount of funds appropriate for your shore leave. I suggest spending it wisely.||
||Any questions?||

There was a tremendous shudder and the artificial gravity cut out. It felt as if the entire Obs Deck was drifting.
That was because that's exactly what it was doing. As it slowly rotated through space they could most likely see the rest of the ship through the windows, and long umbilical cord that connected Obs Deck to it.
At first, it seemed like there was a sheer wall there, but as Obs Deck pulled away, they could see that it was in fact the ship.
And it was huge.
A long, shriveled thing, it was like a diseased organ, made of what looked like mottled, wrinkled flesh, gray in some places, green-gray in others, and black most of all. Bulbous pods, glowing faintly in the void, were clustered along the surface of it, like eggshells illuminated from the inside.
Still, its eerie appearance was dwarfed by the sheer size of it. It was bigger than a city--to those that had traveled through space already, it was easy to see that it was bigger than the average-sized moon.

So he did it.
"That's no moon. That's a SPACE STATION!"
Feel free to groan and Star Wars people glare at him.

She had to admit that it was an impressive sight nonetheless. For her first spaceship, it definitely didn't disappoint.
