The suite lay farthest forward on the lower deck, part of it directly under the Captain's sea cabin. It spanned the full width of the hull and boasted a sitting room, a spacious bed and a private head with shower. Both side walls held large viewports through which the crater pocked surface of the Moon could be seen passing beneath the ship.The ship also had four guest suites, intended for friends of the owner and other distinguished guests. The Captain had moved Lt. Curtis into the one closest to his and placed the three ISS crew members in the others. This freed his normal cabin and the First Officer's for Susan and JT. With so few crew on board, there was more than enough room for the squad of marines.A table for two had been set in the sitting room, beneath one of the long windows. White table cloth, china and crystal had been laid out by crewman Hitch, who had worked at one time as a waiter in an upscale Austin eatery. The perfect setting for a seduction, the Captain thought.What he had planned was a seduction of sorts, but not that kind.
