Poe was very much looking forward to the excursion they were going on today and while the destination was very much a part of that most of his anticipation was focused on the woman who was sat next to him. Jaina had agreed to accompany him to Alcatraz and as a result they were now on a boat which was taking them to their destination.

He'd done a little reading about the small island and it's history as a federal prison. "Apparently the name Alcatraz means pelican in a language of this world, a pelican is a indigenous animal on this planet" he told Jaina as they began to slow down to dock on the island where the remains of the building were located"

"That surprised me too," she replied. "From what I read, it's was a national park for a long time but after the Federation was formed, I'm surprised that it didn't get turned into some kind of building for Starfleet." Jaina had been spending her free time learning more about the world they were in specifically Starfleet. If this was going to be a long term thing, she wasn't about to stay grounded.

As they walked along, she listened to the aduio tour they'd been provided via an ear bud. The speaker was very well informed but nothing prepared Jaina for the view when they stepped out into the recreation yard at the very end. The view of the city from there was breathtaking and she looked up at Poe. "Can you imagine? This is so beautiful yet if you were a prisoner, you saw this everytime you canme out, knwoing you couldn't go home." she shook her head. "that's a little too much to put someone through if you ask me."

Poe nodded in agreement, "It's well located for some kind of observation building or something along those lines" It was central but not in the heart of the city and he'd have thought it would be ideal for holding whatever secrets Starfleet were hiding, because surely there were some. Even if it was just technical plans and the like.

Poe found the audio tour to be quite good, it was definitely interesting to hear about the kind of world this planet had been when the prison was first built. "Beats any other punishment they could have offered I think" he said, because she was right being able to see the city like this everyday but knowing you were cut off from it must have hurt. He shifted their joined hands so that now their fingers were interlinked as they continued to look at the city and the water and the beautiful bridge. Being stuck on this island would have been it's own kind of torment.
