| An Arkturian prince stands in a royal stateroom. It is roomy for a spaceship cabin, but still only one room, with everything designed to cope with zerogee when needed --- a builtin bed on one side, builtin desk and drawers on the other. The prince looks roughly human, actually rather handsome, albeit a rather bright shade of yellow. The ebony black antlers set off the yellow rather nicely. He is dressed in a grass-green dinner jacket, with dark reddish-brown dress pants. He scans himself with a handheld device, as a display in the wall shows a news program [[TALKING HEAD]]. The display is silent, but shows the prince at a ball, with a large number of human dignitaries in attendance. The prince himself has a scantily, but elegantly, beautiful woman on his right, and a matching man on his left. In the room, he stares at the results of the scan.
