Three hours later, Isabella arrived at the high grassland homestead with the five children entrusted to her care. She excitedly awaited a joyful reunion with her cousin Jennifer and looked forward to a month-long vacation celebrating the inclusion of Planos as a sovereign world under the protection of the empire.During her visit, Isabella's itinerary included a wide variety of activities, but she did hope to see the incredible Planos sabercats and mammoths roaming the preglacial continent.
