The weather was ideal for it and we both enjoyed a swim the following morning. I wasn't surprised to see several other people from the ship that had obviously done the same, this place was the closest to paradise that I had ever been. I could see why they had given everybody a warning about jumping ship before they cut us loose. We washed the salt water off at one of the many public showers that lined the beaches, and then went in search of breakfast. We saw quite a few familiar faces from the ship while trying to decide what to have and ended up joining Banner and Terease, who we ran into at a place that claimed to specialize in sushi. I wasn't surprised to see that the rest of the morning's clientele were all predator species like ourselves. I don't know of any humans that can stomach raw meat or fish for breakfast. Actually I had been kind of surprised to find out that sushi had been around a lot longer than we had, I guess some humans had taste after all. "I didn't see either of you back at the barracks last night," said Terease, "where'd you spend the night?" "On the beach," smiled Mist.
