The apartment building itself is a modest-looking affair, commonly used to house the staff of any international dignitaries whenever they come to visit Lemuria. In this case however, there's a significant number of armed guards around the building; it appears that even the bodyguards have been given security. After making an identification check at the gate, you're allowed to enter the compound. Allenby informs you of your apartment number ("Apartment 707," he said with a smirk), and also lets you know that your suits will be delivered to the compound within the hour. "Security checks," he explains when the four of you are about to protest.

"All right. Remember the ground rules," Allenby says before he leaves. "All of you are to return to this compound after your shift is done. You may not approach the President for an autograph while you're watching over him, and no photographs or photo-bombing. There is to be no contact with the outside world until after your stint is over." After these words of advice, he leaves, saying that he has some other security issues to deal with. Balogh grunts in annoyance and grabs his things, heading up to your apartment.

Ami grabs you and her boyfriend by the arm and drags the two of you towards the apartment's notice board as the van reverses and leaves the compound. "No leaving the apartment? Some paid vacation, huh Jax?" she turns to look at him, and he shrugs in response. "Okay…that part was something that I didn't really expect, and they took our phones as well. Damn it…" he grumbles as the three of you stand in front of the notice board. The board itself is a large touchscreen, and Ami presses the map button, which displays your current location and the facilities that the apartment has.

"There's a pool, a gym, a sauna, and a barbecue pit," she notes as the three of you look at the screen. "In other words, nothing special," she sighs.

Jax shakes his head and points at the pool. "There's the pool, and I haven't seen you in a bikini yet," he says with a grin. This causes her to roll her eyes and to elbow him in his ribs.

"And you won't, because I didn't bring any swimwear along," she says before gesturing at the two of you. "C'mon, let's head back to the apartment," she says loudly, and Jax follows her meekly as they go to collect their belongings.
