Feast In The Proserpinan Spaceship

Harvest The Fire, CHAPTER 11.

The cuisinator is nanotechnic so the food should be and is delicious. Also, Lirion has stocked good wine.

Brilliant light patterns play on the bulkheads of the saloon.

The air is jasmine-scented.

Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 plays.

If we add that the air is pleasantly warm, then we get five senses.

Another aspect of a meal is the conversation. Nicol finds it easy to dissemble because he and the two Lunarians are of different civilizations with different tones, expressions and body language. He persuades them to accept some tests in three Earth gravities. They will be incapacitated, leaving him free to search the ship for weapons.

Kaor, Paul!

Considering how fond the Lunarians were of plots and intrigues, they should have wondered if Jesse had any ulterior motives for his suggestion. They made the mistake of underestimating Jesse.

Ad astra! Sean
