Mick manages to find a residue in and around the crates, at first one would think it was normal dust, but a closer look reveals it is a pristine beach sand, of the kind found on Noosa's tourist beaches. And he remembers seeing Noosan cuisine and themed decor in a restaurant on the way to the Central Library.

The Archivist nods. "My wife is actually a detective. I'll make sure you get some trustworthy help."

While she sends the message, Jilick comes up with only two Noosan restaurants on Xandria. One in town, the other on the opposite side of the planet in the city of Atheneum.

The Archivist concludes her messaging. "Renata will meet with you when you can arrange a time with her." She transmits a com code to your devices.

Pleasantly busy but not overcrowded, a wide variety of dishes for all palates and dietary needs that evoke the tropical flavors of Noosan cuisine are highlighted among the trappings of that planet's native architecture. There are wait staff in traditional garb and an entertaining show in progress on the center stage.
