[Juner, in the Observation Lounge]

The Counselor's mouth remained hanging agape until Admiral Hicks dropped the other shoe. They were all being relieved of duty ... and sent to Risa on vacation. Why did the Admiralty always enjoy being coy about such things? The Counselor in him found it somewhat narcissistic and wondered if it was a symptom of spending too much time behind a desk. Once one lived without the drama of life on the frontier they longed for drama wherever they could find it - or even create it.

More than slightly annoyed the Counselor spoke up from his hover chair when the Admiral asked for questions. "Admiral Hicks, I request permission to remain behind aboard Morgan Le Fay to act as a liason between yourself, Captain Thompson, and the established crew of the station. I'm sure they will benefit from seeing a familiar face amongst the incoming senior staff," the Counselor offered.

Before Hicks could object he added, "My unique physiological needs would make any vacation to a 1g world more of an ordeal than remaining here where my needs have already been taken into consideration." For Juner 'comfort' was in maintaining a routine. Just the idea of taking a vacation where they would be little to no relief from the press of gravity made his body ache. At least here on MLF his quarters were modified so that he could relax in a low-gravity environment for several hours per cycle.
