As you step out of the umbilical onto the station, the finely-tuned tones of the entry bay LAI greet you. "Welcome to Collins Freethought Station. We hope your journey here was calm and enjoyable, and that your stay will be productive. Please proceed forward to Registry and Customs. After a brief series of questions, you will be allowed to proceed to your destination in the station. Please have your VI ready to interact with the R&C systems."
As you wait in the short line, information about the station is transmitted to your VI. CFS is a combined wheel station and beehive habitat. The two are attached by a ribbon elevator. The wheel station houses the docking bays, communication arrays, solar array, and some science stations. The meandering tunnels and chambers of the beehive habitat, which have been carefully bored through the heart of the rocky asteroid, provide living quarters, main station controls, farms, recreation, and more science stations. CFS was founded by a group of Duncanites looking for freedom to pursue their scientific and social inquiries, and is open to all. Aside from common crime deterrent laws, the only true rule is allowing the residents the liberty to pursue their personal goals.
The dozen or so arrivals here in the entry bay move along quickly. After only a short wait, the R&C LAI queries your VI regarding your name, origin, reason for coming to CFS, and duration of stay.
