General Story Note: The story is set in year 5634 AD. Humans have spread across the galaxy, inhabiting new planets, new galaxies. The Galactic empire has been in place for over 2000 years now, while adding new planets to its reaches all this time. . Planet Krayton is the center of power, and the seat of the chancellor, while Trantor is the financial hub. This part of the story is based in Trantor.
She opened her eyes, as the ship docked in at the station. She just didn't go too well with these hyper-space jumps. Had it been upto her, she would have teleported here. But that wouldn't do. It was too large a distance for starters. She shook her head, and pulled her stuff together.
"Holo-id?" grunted the officer at the station.
She pulled her id out and presented it to him. A quick scan, and it was back in her hands.
"Purpose of visit?"
"Tourist. I am here to visit my boyfriend."
She noted the smile on the officer's face, and saw him get a little friendlier. It went with a few more questions, though his manner was a lot less dry from that point on.
"A special boy for the miss, huh?"
She smiled, almost blushed softly "Yes. A very special boy indeed." She said, beaming at him.
The questions had to be asked though – security. Not that she had not expected it. It was Trantor after all - the financial hub of the galactic empire, the seat of the economic advisor to the Chancellor. It was said that the security here was second best, only surpassed by Krayton, the capital and seat of the chancellor himself. She smiled at the thought – a wry knowing smile. Third, she corrected, though she wouldn't say that around anyone.
"Have a good time with your boy" the officer said, and waved her off
As she stepped out, she knew that was not the only difference. She had read and heard about Trantor. But nothing can prepare you for a planet with an artificial sky, and complete climate control. Knowing that the clear blue sky she was looking up to was artificial left her more than just a little amazed.
She got into an aero-car, and punched the address for the hotel. The hotel itself was quite some way off the high profile financial areas. As she got into her room, she put her bags down and surveyed the room. She then rummaged through her belongings, and found her holo-cube. She looked through the messages, and nodded to herself, a soft smile playing on her lips. "I have some time, then. Better get ready for him then."
She started to unpack her small bag, and put her things around. She picked up the lace panties, and the black, almost see-through gown she had brought along. Everything found its way into the drawer beside the table. She wanted it all to be perfect. After all, this was the first time they were really meeting face to face, and was probably her first and last chance to make sure things went smoothly. She had learnt well not to leave anything to chance.

He was quite happy. General consensus among the experts seemed to be that all his assertions had been right. Experts believed that pressure on the economic advisor to take corrective actions that Peter had been harping on for a while now would soon be too much. There were even growing whispers that maybe it was time for him to step down, and let someone like Peter take over. He had played his game well.
He himself was a little surprised though on how well it had gone down with the general observers and so called experts. The Zaran belt and their impoverishment had been a perfect thing to play his cards by. Not that he cared much about them. As a matter of fact, they probably deserved worse. He laughed a bit to himself. It was indeed ironical that Aaron, probably the first economic advisor in a long while to care for the Zaran belt, could soon get sacked because of poverty there.
Things were indeed turning out well. He was blazing a trail here. And on the other hand, Anna was coming in to Trantor today. He thought back to the time when he first talked to her. It was over a holodeck connection, on a dating community about three weeks back. The girl was from a small, probably irrelevant planet which he didn't remember the name of. Pretty thing, but hardly enough brains for her to be worthy of him. But yes, being pretty made her worth a fuck at least. Yes, he would have his fun with her tonight. And then she could go back, never to see him again. He smiled at the thought. Dumb girl, he muttered. Dumb, but pretty.

She stepped into the shower, and turned it on. She closed her eyes as jets of water hit her body from all around, relieving, relaxing, and massaging her body. And soon it was jets of air hitting against her body, cooling and drying her off. She stepped out and just as she was slipping on her panties, she heard the door to the room open and close. He is here, she thought. She pulled on the gown, which hugged her in all the right places, accentuating her curves, highlighting her beauty.
And as she stepped out, she saw him standing there in the room. Her heart skipped a beat. She trotted over to him, as he walked over and quietly pulled her closer.
