Falaire's Apartment On The Moon

Harvest The Fire, CHAPTER 5.

A dark corridor with stars on the walls and constellations around the doors;

a single large chamber with only the sanitor concealed;

a deep blue yielding floor;

walls that extrude or retract anywhere when wanted;

unfinished Lunar rock in part of the ceiling;

a fiery vine on a column;

sparse Lunarian furniture;

floor space for pacing, dancing or fencing;

a viewsrceen currently showing fantasy towers and dragons in a crimson sky;

music like winds and strings with a subsonic beat;

a housekeeping robot beside the cuisinator;

wine in crystal goblets;

chairs, although Lunarians usually stand in Lunar gravity.

Kaor, Paul!

And I've been wondering what is a "cuisinator"!

Cuisine-ator.

Kaor, Paul!

I noticed that. But I'm not sure what a "cuisinator" DOES. Store food as we do with refrigerators? Cook food? Or both?

Sean,

I am sure that it does everything food-wise, hence its all-rounder nomenclature.

Kaor, Paul!

Iow, both storing and cooking food.

Sean,

Maybe also synthesizing it nanotechnically.

Possibley, if doing so was cheaper than buying non-nanotech food. I can it becoming a status symbol to serve foods made directly from plants and animals.

Ad astra! Sean
