Soggy Hole

The lounges are alternate Standard Star Army Crew Lounge sections of YSS Mazu.

This area of the ship is a place for the crew to socialize with other personnel of the Mazu. Recreational activities such as three-dimensional chess, card games, and other volumetric-based games are played here. As part of socializing the crew can consume food and drinks and have a extensive drink and food menu for them to choose from.

The Waitstaff is typically Star Army Caretaker androids, led by what some affectionately call the Lounge Mistress.

An affectionate title rather than true rank for Mazu Mazumi. They control the entirety of the activity within the lounge and are capable of handling any roughhousing. The Lounge mistress has a modified SPINE, which allows them to control the lounge's gravity and atmosphere.

• ‘high priestess’ Mazumi¹⁾

The Lounge which was established in YE 44 as a way for Mazu Mazumi to serve the crew differently. In addition to her ship’s caretaker duties, she wanted to improve crew morale by having a special place for them to relax and play games in addition to the places on the ship where that was possible. She also wanted a place where other functions could happen.

Mazu Mazumi eventually found the perfect spot, but unfortunately, it was the Star Army Standard Captain's Suite, with another cabin beside it. Fortunately, then-captain Motoyoshi Kaoru had used a different cabin that she’d preferred, and so Mazumi was permitted to do a complete overhaul of the section. She used a torch to rip the wall in between the cabins expanding the space, and had engineers help her remove furniture and modify the cabin bathrooms making them into a water closet for patron use.

The onboard Star Army Technician set up lights and décor, and Motoyoshi Kaoru and Mazu Minato acquired additional KAIMON/Ascendant Colleague waitstaff to aid Mazumi in running the lounge. In YE 44, Mazu Mazumi upgraded to a NH-33 (Tennyo) body and SPINE interfaces were installed to allow her better control over the lounge.

The Lounge has an extensive Menu that patrons can order from in terms of food and drinks for convenience.

In addition to the fruit choices The Lounge also offers chips crackers, and cookies of various kinds for the patrons pleasure. Plus, Mazumi is capable of creating sweet buns ¹²⁾ Other fruits such as bananas as well as various kinds of nuts. ¹³⁾. They can have their grapes or Bananas in a bowl should they desire it.

The Lounge can also be used for many official shipboard functions, such as weddings, diplomatic gatherings, the change of command ceremony, birthday and other parties for individual ship personnel¹⁴⁾.

The Lounge is located at the extreme forward end of certain starships and has windows, which were typically screens that acted as windows, offering a spectacular view of space ahead of the vessel. This, along with the ship’s shields create a unique design appearance that adds to the décor of the environment within. Lights are shown in the ceilings above and in fixtures off to the side walls, which were kept at a color temperature of 3,350 K. This made it comfortable but also illuminated. The lights were brighter closer to the bar area. The room was accessed by two doors, on the port and starboard sides at the rear of the room.

Throughout the lounge were spots where the ship’s Personnel can sit down and socialize. The tables were wood laminated, laminated in that it was covered by Durandium and at the top was transparent Durandium to allow the wood to be seen. This was also to allow for some décor and not have everything in one material.

The seats were wood lined with plush, memory foam pillows that allowed for comfort, with care, especially given to allow not only those with legs, but others such as Separa'Shan a chance at comfort. Booths were off to the side for private, intimate moments with typical tables and chairs between them and the bar, which had stools to sit on.¹⁵⁾

On entering the bar section of the lounge, there comes a slight change in color scheme compared to the rest of the lounge. Behind the bar was red oak wood shelving which contained various drinks from alcoholic beverages to fruit drinks. For security reasons hidden cameras were installed in ceiling alcoves, as well as at a lower position behind the bar to capture the sights of all who came to the lounge to socialize. While the ship’s security is able to view the activity, Mazumi also has access when her line of sight is blocked for whatever reasons.

This Office was located behind the bar area of the lounge and was for the behind-the-scenes situation. Here logistics like food and drink could be dealt with, and she has a line to directly contact the captain in case of any issue.
