Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Beacon - fine dining

I really must recommend the Beacon to everybody I know. I can't get enough of all this good food.

And don't forget the wonderful atmosphere...

Your mention of "atmosphere", Danny, gave me an idea. How about local atmospherics. The Beacon is cetainly big enough to have it's own micro-climates. A gentle spring rain here and there (force-field umbrellas will keep the patrons dry) and maybe a warm breeze elsewhere. For special occasions, a little lightning, perhaps. Just a thought.

Great idea! You could have food to match the micro-climate!

And so it shall be...

All new menu items are now available to choose from.

Please continue to enjoy the food.

And I can assure you that the food is Gastronomical!!!

Heh!

The Beacon is to die for! The gentle spring rain is so soothing...

The Beacon would appear to have gone out,...

I think if Semi and Danny were here more often, this place would start getting a larger crowd again.

Just thought I'd remind you all of Legion World's finest dining establishment - "The Beacon". Looks like this place is going to need a major dusting. I'll call in the droids.

Just a reminder of what the Beacon is like inside.

The Beacon is housed in a replica of an early 20th Century Neo Classical revival building. It takes up a city block and is 6 stories high. It's facade is only two stories high, but the building spills an additional 4 stories down the cliff behind. With it's doric columns, it presents a staid and established facade, but for the four story bronze torch with it's plasma beam aimed at the Orion Constellation. People will naturally gravitate to the mesmeric light.

The doors to the beacon are hammered brass, depicting a bass relief of a Spanish galleon, tossed on an unforgiving sea, but pointed to a steady light on a distant shore.

As you pass through the doors, you find yourself on a landing before a grand staircase that gently descends two stories. The railing is brass, the steps are polished green marble.

At the botton of the staircase, you will find yourself in the entry hall to The Beacon. A relecting pool graces the center of the hall. A fine ancient Persian carpet in tones of ochre and mocha, stretches the 100 feet of the entryway on either side of the reflecting pool. Bronze palms rise from the floor every 10 feet to present a canopy for your entrance.

You find yourself standing before the two story high crystal doors of The Beacon's main dining room. Your legion flight ring will open them. Non legionnaires will have to wait for the Maitre d'.

Passing through the crystal doors, your mouth drops. Opening up before you is the vista of a six story atrium topped with a stained glass starfield, twinkling soothingly. You step onto bronze antigrav platforms, each in the shape of a cala lily and are gently transported another two stories down to the Maitre d's station.

You look out at this vast room and as far as you can see, there are floating bronze shells - clam, conch, cowrie, and nautilus - each holding a mocha leather banquette encircling a perfectly carved bubinga wood table. The Maitre d' checks your reservation, and calls your table. Within seconds, it appears, you are seated and the table moves off to it's assigned private sector, on one of six levels.

It is at this point that you finally focus on the back wall of the main dining room. It is six stories of perfect, flowing glass, looking out on a river of lava flowing from Mount Eruptus, the newest volcano on Legion World.

Glorith likes the Beacon after a day of worshipping me you should all dine here.

Just popping in here for a hearty breakfast.

I wonder if I'll have a chance to say hi to the proprietor, Danny Blaine (n.k.a. Phantasm)?

The Beacon is great!

I've got to work on a bumper to advertise this place.

...and here we go!

Woohoo! My name in lights!!!!

I think before the Homecoming Dance, a fine supper would be nice.

Could I make a reservation for... hmmm...

*counts on fingers... myself, Bevis, Justyn Timberleak, possibly Loser, a gaggle of Brads...*

... maybe a private dining room would be best

Try it this way!

<marquee behavior=alternate> </marquee>

Hm, I think it'd be a great idea to make reservations before the dance too.

I know I'll be taking Pagan Lass, but since I'm riding over in a limo with Future and Viv, maybe we should double?

You could also invite her husband and HIS date along, Cobie dear

Dinner before Homecoming sounds like a great idea, guys! Cobie, I'll help pitch in if Viv & I can accompany you.

...actually, isn't Abin riding in the limo with us too? It's a must he comes with us to the meal...Pagan Lass or no.

If Future and I accompany you, I'll just pay for everything, I'm a Priestess, we're loaded like that.

I'm glad that the Beacon has been revived. It really is an elegant room. I expect that you'll all be in your finest attire.

Of course! Bevis has taken care of us exquisetly!

If Pagan Lass' husband will with us, I might as well invite my wife and her date too. (That sure sounded funny out loud... )

There's Danny!

The only thing better than a fantastic dinner at the Beacon is the company of its much-admired proprietor.
