Summary: The crew go on holiday and the results are heated.
PrologueIt was late in the evening on Corzula when the Andromeda settled into an easy orbit around its almost entirely blue mass. Corzula was a peaceful enough planet, on the western continent lived a large colony of the native Corzulans (a strange amphibic race, who lived half on the land and half in the vast oceans surrounding). The smaller eastern land mass was inhabited by a trio of rare nietzchean prides who ha dallied themselves with Dylan Hunt instantly and had vowed to join the commonwealth on the condition that they would have help in defending themselves against the Drago-katsov when the time came.
The Andromeda was returning the alphas of the three prides (Puma, Chamaleo and Felidae) from a meeting with the first triumvir on Equator drift. The Chamaleo alpha went by the name of Julius Katharsis, had 35 wives and was currently practicing his displaying techniques on an unwilling Beka. The alpha of Puma pride was a much more calculating man, as sharp as a Distarian whip and extremely cunning. His name was Deco Cumstada and due to his only, recently coming of age he had taken only 2 wives as yet. Mattalone Cathay, alpha of Felidae pride was a massive man. His skin and hair were as white as snow, though not through age. He was an excellent warrior and his talents were well known. Together they made the perfect team, their people united by the spirit of Katharsis, their armies strengthened by the Felidae, and their diplomatic affairs handled with pure skill by Cumstada. In fact, they functioned with such efficiency together, that they were almost one pride, the Chamo-Puma-Feli pride. This arrangement, however obscure in Nietzchean circles worked perfectly on Corzula, and Dylan hunt was no man to disrupt that.
Once the alphas were safely home Andromeda's crew were planning to accept an invitation from the alphas to take shore leave and stay in the beautiful city of Taurus, where the prides lived.
