Once everyone had boarded the Starchaser, Captain Rodriguez led them on a brief tour of the yacht. Anywhere Claire looked, it felt like she was in a massive spaceship, with all the glossy interior, fancy lighting, and luxurious furniture. The Starchaser's sleek corridors gleamed with polished wood and soft lighting, a quiet testament to the opulence Arthur’s father had spared no expense to manifest.“We hope to make your stay an unforgettable experience,” the captain said after the tour. "Your luggage will be delivered to your rooms. Anything you need, don’t hesitate to let any of our crew know. They are under my command just as much as yours.”“Thank you, Cap,” Arthur replied. “Our lives are in your capable hands for the next two nights.”“My pleasure,” the captain said with a smile, offering a smart salute before shaking Arthur’s hand.Arthur turned back to his friends, his excitement palpable in the room. “Tonight’s special dinner will be on the deck.
