Zaid followed his nose...and the obvious announcement on the loudspeaker. A buffet. On that docklike structure overlooking the coastline (Zaid had to admit, an ideal location for a trendy, touristy bar & grill). Zaid wasn't just confused by the cheery announcement of food, and alluring scents wafting from this 'Hub'. He was also doubtful of the buffet's culinary merit. A buffet seemed ambitious, and Zaid was expecting something akin to stale bread and even staler water.

So for a myriad of reasons - hunger included, that blasted announcement was right. After expending all that adrenalin, Zaid needed energy - he made his way over to the Hub. He didn't like that he was so easily persuaded to go there. Like a lamb to the slaughter? Fattening them up first into full-bellied complacency? How paranoid was too paranoid on a place like this? But it was either check out this buffet and judge it, or return to the Odyssey to find a can opener for all the mystery tins he'd pilfered from the cruise ship's pantry.

He wasn't alone at least, or the first to approach the Hub. No one was eating yet, the atmosphere hushed. And Zaid understood why, as he got closer. The food was...beautiful. Hot dishes steaming as if freshly cooked. Deep fried fish and tempura that still sizzled. Vibrant charcuterie neatly arranged. Bowls of stews, curries, soups. Even the loaves of bread and dhalpuri and pita looked freshly out of the oven.

"Bloody hell..." Was it even real? Zaid compulsively swept his fingers across a tower of fruit skewers, and they all toppled under his sweep. "Oh fuck - sorry -" Zaid looked up at the beautiful woman on the opposite side of the table, who seemed to magically appear just in time to catch his faux pas. He scrambled to collect the skewers. "I was just testing them to, erm..." A stupid explanation that didn't need to go further.

Zaid tried again, after clearing his salty, watery throat. "Wonder where this all come from?" And the more damning observation: "No one's eating, yet."
