"Yup." Caretaker squatted down so he was eye level with the child. "In fact, this is where the Captain lived. The Empire built their warships out of planetoids and large moons, so they had plenty of space." He looked up at the parents. "The Empire intended their ships to be deployed for as much as fifty years at a time, and they had all this space, so they took steps to be sure that the crew was as comfortable as could be. Despite appearances, this room is a bona-fide living ecosystem, restored by the Cat's own maintence drones after the virus attacked using seed and cell stores. About the only in here that's fake is the sun up there. There's about a hundred and fifty acres in here, plenty of room to run and play. There's fish in the lake, and birds hanging around. A shed around the back of the house has fishing gear and a small boat."

He stood up and looked around. "A word of warning. In the west wall of the courtyard of the house is a bright red door. That leads to the rest of the ship and is locked. This whole place is mage-shielded, so don't worry about frying electronics, and Sari should just reappear where she was if she tries to teleport. Same for Alec."

He looked around. "The kitchen is fully stocked and there's a grill on the patio and a firepit in the courtyard. If Verra wants to fly, she shouldn't get beyond a mile or so into the air, and the Captain's office is in the back on the first floor. I locked the door since the Empire was a tad paranoid about security and there's nothing useful in there anyways. Oh, and it rains in here, so mind the clouds. The weather computers mimic the weather on the Throneworld and it's winter there right now. Any questions?"
