First level Main Concourse

(The sound system is switched on high and an announcement comes through the whole first and second levels of the Commons)

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Winston Pebbington-Smythe and I thank you for joining me and the rest of Solaris Humanus on this momentous occasion. Tonight, the second level of our wondrous Commons area is completed and being celebrated by all of you. Again, thank you. If not for all of you, this would not be possible.

Please, be patient and kind to your fellow Solarians as you travel from the lower level to the upper level. We can't afford any injuries tonight. All my investments are currently tied up in tonight's events! LOL

And speaking of....As you reach the second level, please grace our new shoppes with your presence and say hello to the shoppe keepers. They are just as excited as you to show off their wares. We have Tahla's Trendz, a new fashion shoppe for the up and coming from the WPS Industries talented clothing designer, talented Tahla. The Solaris Blossoms, a new florist and gift shoppe is the place to be for those special occasions in your life when you want to treat a loved one OR yourself to the beauty of Nature. The newly relocated to the 2nd floor, our friendly neighborhood trader Taybor's The Galactic Emporium has all the unusual and elegant oddities he has collected over the years when he was trading his wares and exploring the galaxy. That's just a few of many more shoppes and eateries here for you to enjoy.

As you travel through the Commons, stop by the new CLUB CITADEL for free non alcoholic beverage to enjoy as you travel through the area. The Bars in Club Citadel are open for business, but the alcoholic beverages must be purchased and enjoyed in the Bars. Again, we are promoting safety tonight.

Now, once the crowds have slowed to a snails pace and everyone who wants to be is on this level, we are going to have a fireworks display like non other. All you have to do is look above and enjoy. When it is deemed time to begin the display, the lights will go out and all our trees and flowers will be lit up so that you can still see to get a round, but dark enough to enjoy the display.

I want to thank Professor Scifire from the Horticultural Bays for donating such beautiful plants and trees that grace our displays throughout the Commons. A round of applause please for Professor Scifire and his crew. They are amazing for sure!

(The people bring their hands together for a short applause for the Professor)

Once the Fireworks display is over and you still feel like celebrating, your nightclubbing thirst can be quenched at CLUB CITADEL, open all night. Come join us there till early morning.

Now, there are a number of people to whom this all would not be possible, I must say a heartfelt thank you. All my employees that worked their tails off to get this project up and in the air (literally), making all this possible. THANK YOU!
Also a special thank you goes to my Personal Assistant, Angelique Boucharde, for working tirelessly by my side, making all the connections connect and all the seams seamless. Angel, THANK YOU! You make my life so much easier and tolerable.

Finally, I want to thank Captain Anita Thomas for her support of this project from the very beginning. Not only did she give the final say so for the work to begin so we could create, but she worked her magic with getting tenants on the lower level to be patient with our dust and dirt and noise while they continued to make the lower level the success it is today. There were many times she had to hold meetings with tenants about their worries and concerns. She is a true Diplomat and the force behind what we now know as Solaris Humanus. None of us would be who we are today without her.

THANK YOU Captain Thomas.

Now with that said, I leave you all with your new Commons level 2. Have a great evening and ENJOY!

GRAYSON! Don't you dare finish that statement. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you can't say anything nice the rest of the evening, just don't say anything at all!

(just as he is about to speak, Miranda grabs his arm and explains)

I'm sorry Mr. Cooper, and by the way I enjoy watching you on the news programs, but my Brother Grayson is beginning to get a headache from his long day at work. He promised me he'd come with me tonight so I didn't have to go alone. So we really need to get along so I can see the wonderful work that has been created and then see Grayson home for a good nights sleep.

Well sir that is an easy answer. This is a one of a kind from Tahla's Trendz. I suggest everyone set their sights on that talented ladies shop. She is a trend setter.

Now we really must go. Thank you!

(pulls Grayson along with her)

Did you hear what he said Miranda? I didn't say anything about my "rival." Why I wouldn't wish Smythe well if my life depended on it. Idiot reporter. I think I will go back and have a few words with him. Let him know just what I really think of Smythe!

(turns to go back to speak to Cooper)

(Since Lt. Kendall isn't officially on the job tonight, Neroon steps up and next to Kendall as protection for the Terans and the Kendalls as he and the other two SST were ordered to do tonight)

(Sees the Royals taking the stairs to the upper level)

I apologize Solondra. I was hoping to avoid the press but I see, (pointing) they are still here.

Shall we get this over with?

I knew this was coming, you have a "few" minutes Mr. Russell.
