Bborg is getting ready to see in the New Year. He lounges in a bioluminescent hot tub under twin suns on planet Solonix. Vibrant coral-like structures glow around him, and alien fish leap from steamy, lavender-hued waters. Solonix is a tropical planet famed for its iridescent oceans and floating coral cities. Its geothermal springs are natural hot tubs, rich in glowing minerals. Festivals fill the air with music, and twin suns cast endless sunsets. A favorite retreat for galactic travelers seeking renewal. As bubbles rise, a playful alien fish splashes Bborg, causing alarm but eventually triggering a laugh. An alien leech is found in the waters which causes some trouble until dealt with. Suddenly, a local joins them, sharing tales of Solonix's sunstone treasure. Bborg, eager to impress, suggests a midnight dive to find it. As they talk, Bborg asks the adventurer for advice on charting his path. "What would you do next?" he muses, eyes hopeful. Their exchange sparks ideas for missions that balance his kind heart with his heroic dreams. Also sharing the tub: Tallaquinn: A jelly-like being with glowing, pulsating colors that shift based on mood. They speak in soft, melodic tones and share Solonix lore. Tallaquinn loves riddles, always asking puzzling questions to spark conversations. Krassor: A hulking reptilian with sleek black scales and faint gold tattoos. Despite his intimidating look, Krassor is a poet at heart, often reciting verses about stars and solitude. He sits quietly but offers wisdom when asked. Frezha: A furry, fox-like creature with six delicate wings shimmering with golden dust. Frezha is excitable, constantly leaping out of the tub to demonstrate a strange local dance. They’re eager to share stories of daring escapes from misadventures across the galaxy.

The adventurer stumbles upon Bborg in the hot-tub, surrounded by curious alien locals. He grins and waves, inviting them to join. “Best way to welcome the new year? A soak with new friends!”
