Paying for the supplies, you head back the way you came, returning to the docks and relieving yourselves of your burden, stowing the new materials in the ship's workshop.
From there you make your way along the dock, soon arriving at the point where the civilian docking ring connects to the station's spine, a large tunnel like opening to your right flanked on either side by Anthean noble standards each displaying a different geometric styled symbol. At the threshold the floor curves away from you, as it reorients to line up with the spinal structure of the station. Walking around the corner in your mag boots, you find yourself in a wide corridor that extends for quite some distance to a security checkpoint of some kind at its far end. The corridor is more ornate than the docking ring, which had a utilitarian and industrial feel to it, featuring leafy covered panels and zero-g water features, making the area feel more like a city park than a metal tube in the void of space. It also differs in that only one of the surfaces is used as a thoroughfare, effectively giving the area an "up" despite its zero-g nature.
This area is just as bustling as the docking ring, however the people moving around are noticeably different, most are dressed formally, in either League or Anthean military dress or civilian business suits. Some stop to chat in the central park, but most walk with purpose, coming and going from the doors that line the corridor on either side. Above each door sits a standard, bearing the symbol of a house or guild, with one instead incorporating the flag of the Valetel League into an Anthean style design.
Creed and Cass are able to recognise three of the symbols, from the terminals in the Stationkeeper's Arms, as that of The Cartage Guild, The Extraction Guild, and The Shikari.
You take note of a few eateries you pass on the residential ring.
Zevin's - a place that appeared to be serving traditional Anthean food, a cuisine that is unfamiliar to you.
The Cellar - a wine bar serving small plates.
Tranquility - a cafe, serving mostly breakfast and lunch dishes.
Mirage - a fine dining establishment.
